  1. Never has a 6-run lead seemed so unsafe! Question: are we sticking with Gibby here at least until Hughes gets back? If Turley pitches lights out next time around do the Twins sack the Gibber? With Santiago pitching so poorly, are the Twins just stuck with this guy? Molitor seemed ticked off at him on his last mound visit.
  2. Didn't we score at least 10 runs for him in a couple of his victories this year? The guy gets tons of run support.
  3. What in the Flying Spaghetti Monster's name is going on here?
  4. Yeah, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.
  5. ROSARIO from the 9 hole! Be still my beating heart!
  6. Gibson seems to be hammering that theme home here early on. Geez, the Twins are just BAD at home. Really depressing to turn on the game and feel it's already out of reach.
  7. I think the phrase goes something like "Better the devil you know...." After Wimmers and Rosario flamed out, I think management is simply too gun shy to assume anyone down in AAA or AA is better than those two. It's a sad state of affairs!
  8. Bullpen again, eh? Same old story. As others have said, we'll take the winning road trip. Normally, you'd think that an upcoming homestand is a good thing, but this team has been flat out bad at home. Here's hoping for a good week ahead!
  9. Very interesting position the Twins find themselves in. A weak division, but sitting in 1st place for most of the year. Dealing a major cog like Dozier or Ervin Santana would be eerily similar to the White Sox "White Flag Trade" about a decade back. I don't see how the Twins could deal for a prospect if they're in first place at the deadline. I could see how they'd deal Dozier for an established starter - but a contender trading pitching at the deadline is unheard of. It's crazy to say it, but the Twins are almost handcuffed thanks to their success! Weird problem to have.
  10. Nunez pulling a Buxton and beating out a routine grounder there. Span, Nunez....ahhh memories.
  11. 1) Sano 2) Santana 3) Dozier 4) Berrios 5) Mauer 6) Kepler 7) Grossman 8) Duffey 9) Buxton's glove 10) Castro
  12. Very disappointed to wake up and see the results. Kintzler, jeeez. Someone here mentioned Duffey as a closer option. I'm all for it!
  13. A la Phil Hughes. Where's old Phil these days, anyway?
  14. I'd rather see Gibson starting than Santiago at this point. And I'd take Turley over both of them.
  15. For those of us that constantly wonder why the Twins don't bring more "prospects" up to the bullpen, and instead opt for middle-of-the road veterans: now we know.
  16. Bux down on strikes. There's a pattern developing here.
  17. Giminez down on 3 pitches. Rats.
  18. I thought the same! Bad call by the ump, but we'll take it. This Paxton dude looks like he might only need 1 run to hold the Twins down today, looks sharp.
  19. Walk, walk, HR to start the game. Santiago's looking like the odd man out in this rotation all of a sudden. Worse than Gibby.
  20. Giminez playing 2 days in a row? Wow, exact same lineup as yesterday - nice to see some consistency! The Twins scored 11 runs with this lineup yesterday, so I'm all for it.
  21. Twins got cash for Wheeler. They'll need it when they trade for Sam Dyson in a few days. I watched Dyson a bit in the early part of the year because I had him on my fantasy team (I know, I know, nobody cares about other peoples' fantasy teams). He kind of reminded me of Kevin Jepsen's last run with the Twins. Just a disaster. Whatever could go wrong, would go wrong. Dyson's been demoted from closer, to setup man, to long man, and now off the MLB team in Texas. I think the Twins don't have much to lose, and I'd be for a trade. But don't give up too much for this guy.
  22. C'mon, Gibby. You don't have to do too much here. One batter at a time, buddy.
  23. Yeah, been down here over 3 years. I spend most of my time here but also travel around Central and South America (I have to leave GUA every 3 months to meet Visa requirements). I get back to the States 2-3 times per year.
