    If the FO goes into 2019 assuming Sano is their everyday third baseman without a viable plan B that would be - well, exactly what the saying is for when one assumes something. He has yet to play even 85 games at third in a season. To expect him to all of a sudden play 130-140 would be foolish to say the least. And let’s not forget, when he plays third, he does so very poorly.

    Shppose it is just a coincidence that four Twins are ranked consecutively or is it more likely that whoever put the rankings together is lazy? I actually think Escobar is the least likely to be traded. There is no one else to play third the rest of the year and probably not beyond this year. I don’t think Sano is back before September, if at all this year. Buxton either. And I definitely think Sano will not play third base regularly ever again. Maybe in a pinch, but he’s simply that bad there.

    Why be pessimistic? If that’s how it works out the Twins can flip anyone they sign or extend when the best opportunity arises. What is the rush to get any deal possible? The trade deadline creates an artificial sense of urgency that typically results in a depressed market for sellers because there are invariably more sellers than serious buyers. The only times a seller would have an edge is if they hold an elite asset that several teams want, a situation that doesn’t apply to the Twins.

    The Twins won’t need a 5th starter until the 24th. So, I would say maybe a position player or a reliever will be added until thst date. No idea who. The only healthy position players on the 40 man not active are Sano, Motter and Granite.

    The Twins still fly theirs from 1965.

    Regarding Magill, I think it is important to note that he is typically coming in to games where the opponent has scored a lot of runs and a lot of people are having good days at the plate. I have no illusions about Magill being a key contributor in high leverage situations, but I do think he’s a better pitcher than Belisle and I definitely think having both is unnecesary.

    Still waiting for you to name them. Mauer ranks 26 th in MLB in innings at first base with 394. 27th is Logan Morrison. Five first basemen have over 800. How different would this season be if instead of two below average first basemen they had one good one?

    There was no way of knowing that Romero was going to be out of the game early enough for Rodney to get in at all. As for Romero’s warm up procedure, have him do it as normal as if he was starting. The extra wait would be the same as having a long first inning on the road. Not that complicated.
  9. yarnivek1972
    If Rodney had to leave early, I probably would have had him pitch the first inning and brought Romero in to start the second.

    One wonders how the game would have gone if Magill had come in after Rodney to start the 6th instead of Ryan Pressly. Alas, we’ll never know. We may also never know how good or how bad Matt Magill is if he never gets into a game.

    Dozier isn’t clutch
  12. yarnivek1972
    That would have been appropriate.

    They are giving up a bunt down first base line.
  14. yarnivek1972
    That’s the only logical move.
  15. yarnivek1972
    So, Garver will bunt. If that works, Mauer and Rosario both get IBB.

    2 swings and misses to one guy!!
  17. yarnivek1972
    Hey, Matt Magill is alive!
  18. yarnivek1972
    Garver not a pitch framer...
  19. yarnivek1972
    Hey, a swing and a miss.
  20. yarnivek1972
    In his last outing, Busenitz threw 16 pitches and not one hitter swung and missed. So far, the same today.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Right up until the point when he had Duke warming up, a lefty at the plate and didn’t bring him in.
  22. yarnivek1972
    Nice job by MOY.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Why go out there with Duke warming up and not bring him in?
  24. yarnivek1972
    Duke has to face Wendle I think.

    Sighs again
