    fwiw, Dillon Gee threw just under 50 pitches in 3 IP to tonight for Rochester. 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 strikeout.

    idk, between Grossman and DH days for Mauer and Sano, I don't think it's a priority. I would also expect Mitch Garver to be in that mix. Obviously, keeping Grossman is not certain. We'll see how the second half plays out.
  3. yarnivek1972
    Now that I think some more. With Mejia pitching, there figure to be more balls hit to LF. So Grossman in RF makes sense. Note to mods: is there some reason why it wouldn't let me post an edit to the original post? Is that just a game thread thing?

    Just a bit outside. Way to set the tone.
  5. yarnivek1972
    That was an ugly swing.

    Ironic that the slowest team in MLB is the only one that still plays home games on turf. Usually you would want and need speed for your defenders on turf.

    His sore ribs are no doubt the result of laughing all the way to the bank to cash his MLB paycheck.
  8. yarnivek1972
    I get that the Monster is tricky to play, but it seems that given that it is such a small field to play compared to RF that Grossman should be in left.

    I like to think of myself as 29. With 15 years of experience...

    So much for getting innings from Busenitz. 20 pitches, 1 out.
  11. yarnivek1972
    If Santana pitches in the All Star game, which is still a possibility, he likely won't start the first game back.
  12. yarnivek1972
    That would have required out of the box thinking by the manager.
  13. yarnivek1972
    At this rate, the Twins will be lucky to get 3 innings from Santiago. Of course, a long delay is probably 30-40 minutes away anyway.
  14. yarnivek1972
    So, Hector Santiago is expected to be limited to 75-80 pitches. That's probably 4, MAYBE 5 innings for him. So, figure another 4-5 innings from the pen today. Not going to leave much available for Wednesday and Adalberto Mejia's start.
  15. yarnivek1972
    He can catch and is fast. How is it that he wasn't a wide receiver?
  16. yarnivek1972
    Looks like it should clear out in 90 minutes or less. Probably start about 8:45 local time.
  17. yarnivek1972
    So, who was the odd man out to make room for Santiago?
  18. yarnivek1972
    Breslow has also walked 4 lefties and only struck out 4 in almost 40 PA. Breslow has better BB and K rates vs RHP. He has an impossibly low .166 BABIP vs LHB as well. Boil it all down and it suggests that Breslow's success against lefties this year is largely a result of luck and/or because he's pitching in low leverage situations. As for Belisle, did you not see his horrendous performance in a high leverage situation last night? He allowed an inherited run to score and he turned a bad situation into an impossible one.
  19. yarnivek1972
    There is something of a mental capacity needed to be The Guy in the 9th. The finality of the situation I suppose. LaTroy Hawkins had substantially better stuff than Eddie Guardado. Hawkins flopped in the closer role but flourished in the 8th inning. Not everyone has it. Some guys develop it. Some don't.
  20. yarnivek1972
    Buxton is the fastest guy to the dugout after a strike out in MLB.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Boshers threw 4 pitches and got two outs. I'm not sure he realistically could have done much better than that. He actually has a higher K rate vs RHP this year.
  22. yarnivek1972
    Pressly is eligible to return tomorrow. Just sayin...
  23. yarnivek1972
    I am somewhat surprised his agent didn't file a greivance on the matter. Maybe Chargois didn't disclose pain until after being optioned, but the Twins knew (at the latest) on day 1 of the season that Chargois was hurt. Don't the Twins have coaches that are supposed to recognize signs of injury? Did anyone ask?
  24. yarnivek1972
    Which would require the Twins to rescind his option from March and retroactively award him service time and pay. If the Twins were willing to do that they would have done so already as it is pretty clear now that Chargois should have been put on the DL in March.
  25. yarnivek1972
    As far as I know, they can't "legally" DFA Chargois as long as he is injured. Not sure if the Twins can "return" Haley to Boston while he is on the DL.
