    Romero down is simply ridiculous.

    Will Ferrell on SNL "Do you know that this song needs?! More Cowbell!" Paul Molitor with Bullpen: "Do you know that this game need?! More Belisle!"

    Dear Twins Daily, I cannot believe that I'm on an MLB roster with like 4 people in line for demotion before me..... And apparently they have no intention of bringing up anyone from the minors anyway! (shhh, don't tell anyone but THIS-IS-AWESOME!) Super Stoked, Motter

    Dear FO, Please disregard D.C. Twins negativity.... We are so thankful for your enployment as we are quite certain that we would not have lasted this long on another MLB roster and know there are no other MLB roster spots waiting for us if our tight bond is ever to break. Forever Yours, Grossman, Wison, and Belisle aka "The Triple Threat" PS. We made up "The Triple Threat" ourselves. We think a hard core nickname may buy us a few more weeks on the MLB roster.

    …and as long as the FO is in the enlightening mood, maybe they could free me of my ignorance surrounding the advanced metrics surrounding the Belisile signing.
  6. D.C Twins
    I'm sure Grossman is a 'Designated' something..... I just haven't been able to figure out what.....maybe the FO can enlighten me!
  7. D.C Twins
    Actually a big Gonsalves fan.... but 5.5 BB/9 innings and 4.8 innings per start... yikes....might be further away from MLB than I'd like
  8. D.C Twins
    For those still keeping track at home, Grossman and Wilson are still on the MLB roster....sigh
  9. D.C Twins
    Not all people/arms are the same Not all innings are the same Not all pitchers have the same mix of pitches Not all pitches stress the arm the same Ergo, innings limitations are ridiculous. Pitchers need to be followed closely for the earliest signs of fatigue (drop in velocity, change in mechanics, even small amounts of pain in the pitching elbow/shoulder, loss of control) and shut down quickly at the earliest warning signs. "sabermetrics" will catch up to this in the near future and there will be intricate algorithms to dictate these decisions .
  10. D.C Twins
    For those of you still keeping score at home... Grossman and Wilson are still inexplicably on this team....sigh.....
  11. D.C Twins
    "He's a high-OBP, low-power corner outfielder in the mold of Robbie Grossman" Who can play defense! Grossman is the person I most want replaced due to his woeful one-dimensional contributions (at best).
  12. D.C Twins
    CRAP! Bobby Wilson is a free agent at the end of the year?!?! Extension!!!! Lock him up now!
  13. D.C Twins
    Boy is that photo a microcosm of the season so far....well chosen
  14. D.C Twins
    The FO has done some good things and cannot control the... Injuries/etc that DO matter (Castro, Mauer, Palanco, Buxton, Sano, Santana....) They do control what to do about it. 1. Cycle some of the reliever up to get a break for some of the overused and therefore becoming more ineffective (you know who they are) 2. Bring up some of the young talent for experience and evaluation This is not rocket surgery or brain science..... but.... the first step is to admit that you have a problem
  15. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins FO, I know that Gordon was one of my draft picks and perhaps not as exciting to you as some of the players that you bring in.... but you do realize that the Twins used Adrianza as a pinch "hitter" in an actual MLB game which they were presumably trying to win right?! ….A game in which 5 "hitters" had a BA that ranged from 0.192 to 0.239 and the 6th was a AAAA player that stuck out 3 times. You guys have done some good things, but....just sayin' Thinking of You, Terry Ryan
  16. D.C Twins
    I want to be as excited as the next guy.... but I think we can all agree that 7.5BB/9 inngs average will not equate to 1.50 ERA's in many starts going forward. This is just a blip on the screen unless the control thing is figured out.
  17. D.C Twins
    Nick Gordon is STILL the top one person that needs to be promoted....STILL. Eh, the FO will get there eventually
  18. D.C Twins
    Grossman needs to go..... no place for a one dementional (at best) "OF" on a young team trying to develop a championship core. There are just not enough bench spots for any one dementional player. yes....yes.....YES...it is time to begin the youth movement. This is only a lost season if we fail to take the opportunity to evaluate young talent in the MLB
  19. D.C Twins
    Yes sellers but wil have to wait until the market warms up. Even if they feed off the weak central division, it is highly unlikely that this team can win A SERIES versus the Yanks, Sox, Houston etc. So....wtih 1st round playoff loss is the high water....I vote for making the team better in the future. Unfortunately, I think Mauer has played his last baseball game (and if he hasn't, the prospect of one play knocking him out will greatly reduce any trade value) We need Dozier to get hot around the deadline so a team will take a flyer that they can ride "Good Dozier" through the playoffs
  20. D.C Twins
    If this will allow the Twins to avoid Gordon even longer....then yuck
  21. D.C Twins
    Still seems that having Gordon up since Polanco went out would have been at least a win (gain experience) or even more likely a win/win (hit better than the alternative) As for the argument that he needs to work more on defense....yes BUT I seem to remember that there were more than a few similar threads about Polanco just 1+ year ago.... (yep, I'm going to keep bringing this up, until he's up....or until it becomes feasible to win consistently when scoring 3 or less runs a game)
  22. D.C Twins
    Seth -- Thoughts on Zander Wiel. Prospect or just older than competition?
  23. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins FO, We like promoting young talent. We'll trade you a reliever for Gordon....trust us, this time will be different! Your Friends, The Washington Nationals FO
  24. D.C Twins
    Dear FO, We've been watching Gordon from a far... and our consensus opinion is.... Yes Please! Love, The Minnesota Twins Players
  25. D.C Twins
    Also, I am VERY concerned that Mauer may have already played his last baseball game. When diving for a ground ball carries a risk of relapse (however small), he is likely going to take a (justified) long hard look at his future. Balance issues and sensitivity to light WAY more concerning than a refractory headaches and neck pain. Very much hope that I'm overreacting
