    If the Twins get swept by Cleveland, they will be 9 back and 11 games under .500. Did you see the Twins offense this week? Which do you think is more likely, sweeping Cleveland or getting swept by them? There’s a fine line between optimism and blind homerism IMO.

    Difference being free agents go where they want. If a guy is traded, he goes where he’s told.
  3. yarnivek1972
    Cave has a 162 OPS+. No place for that on this roster.
  4. yarnivek1972
    I would assume the opposite. Not only are the Miracle housed there. So are the GCL Twins, the team made up primarily of first time pros. And their roaming coaches all use Fort Myers as home base.

    Petit’s time in roster purgatory isn’t even finished yet. He figures to clear waivers, but if I am correct they would still have to outright him at that time and would still have to wait another 10 days before purchasing his contract. And, they would have wasted his “outright” eligible status. Poor roster management.
  6. yarnivek1972
    The facilities in Fort Myers are MLB quality. The ones in Rochester and Chattanooga are not. Not even close.
  7. yarnivek1972
    Maybe this should have been done before Petit was DFA. Now the Twins have no reserve infielder until Polanco is eligible, which is still almost a month away. Poor roster management. Even if the Twins got an offer for Dozier, they would have to pass because they lack an infielder (they are willing) to call up.

    The Twins have been 5 (or more) games below .500 more than twice as many days (24) as they have been above .500 (11). They can’t blow it up fast enough IMO.
  9. yarnivek1972
    The Twins have been above .500 after 11 games this season. They have been at least 5 games below .500 after 24 games.

    How does a 6 man rotation change the number of relievers the team needs? The Twins are carrying 8 now. If they carry 6 starters too that leaves 2 bench players. A catcher and ??

    A brilliant manager knows when it is important to protect the health and future of his players. Magill last pitched June 5th. Molitor needs to use him, PERIOD. If he fails, so be it. Then it is on Falvine to get better relievers on the roster. But he simply CAN’T run Pressly and Reed out there every day and expect them to continue to stay healthy, let alone perform.
  12. yarnivek1972
    I think it is pretty obvious that Falvey wanted someone other than Molitor from day one but was then hamstrung by Jim Pohlad’s comments. I further suspect that the extension was more Pohlad than Falvey. So, now it is (IMO) a battle about control. If Pohlad wants to run the team his way (eg country club rules), I think Falvey and Levine will walk away. If Pohlad truly wants Falvine making decisions in the best interest of the organization, he’ll allow them to do just that. Including firing Molitor. Obviously, Pohlad will have to sign off on the decision, but I can definitely seeing Falvey (maybe not Levine so much) saying to Pohlad, “Well, we tried it with your guy and here we are. Again. So, decision time sir. Do you want Molitor or me?”

    Or, they could subtract a pitcher. Magill hasn’t pitched in 10 days now. They obviously have too many. Maybe that’s a great idea. DL Reed for 10 days now. Put Pressly on the DL when he gets back.
  14. yarnivek1972
    The bunting hasn’t been there because there are rarely runners on base with 0 outs.
  15. yarnivek1972
    Wasn’t Dozier HBP to start the game not BB?
  16. yarnivek1972
    Um, yeah. 1. Boy, you suck at math.
  17. yarnivek1972
    Game 32 for Reed. Still game 64 for the team. Quick, name the last team to have two relievers with 80 plus appearances.
  18. yarnivek1972
    Appearance 35 for Pressly. Team game 64. He’ll be at a full season workload before the end of August.
  19. yarnivek1972
    Always Ready Ryan in the game.
  20. yarnivek1972
    Berrios 23 pitches. Boyd 58 pitches.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Good to see Dozier have an extended AB after LaMarre and Wilson were quickly dispatched.
  22. yarnivek1972
    Uh oh. Looks like Twins may lose the time of possession battle tonight.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Found a winning strategy. Hit it toward Martin.
  24. yarnivek1972
    There must be a note to run on the Tiger centerfielder. That throw was vintage Jacque Jones.
  25. yarnivek1972
    Taken by itself, I would agree. Taken in conjunction with the other mentioned stats, it is an additional sign that the bullpen is bad.
