    Yeah, Rossrio made it. But Molitor didn't look particularly happy in the dugout. It was a good aggressive play with one out. But, like I say, the manager didn't seem pleased.

    Maybe because of what happened in a similar situation yesterday?

    I'm a little surprised the Rays didn't make a move. But they do only have one lefty reliever.

    Did I see that infield alignment? They are PLAYING Mauer to PULL??

    Rays baseball. Drop it!

    I think it is a bit of a stretch to call Garver the Twins top catching prospect. Indeed, the Twins own website ranks Rortvedt ahead of Garver. Garver will likely be the back up catcher in 2018. Not sure how much time he realistically will play elsewhere. Most managers loathe using their back up catcher as their DH.

    Don't mind the attempt, but the execution was poor. You have to go a lot sooner than that.

    Seriously Eddie?

    Gimenez's ability to pitch in and of itself is reason enough to keep him on the roster IMO.
  11. yarnivek1972
    Gimenez is Falvey's guy. No way is he going anywhere. If Molitor would actually get him his at bats against LHP, as he should, his numbers would look better. He's actually a serviceable hitter vs LHP.

    Buxton running meh. Pinch hitting Sano. Don't get it. You let Mauer hit. You let Kepler hit. Pinch hit for Vargas who has actually hit LHP better than RHP in his career? Paul Molitor needs to get out of Kennys Vargas' way.
  13. yarnivek1972
    But you won't.
  14. yarnivek1972
    ???? I don't see how one statement is relevant to the other. As far as I know, Adrianza doesn't play catcher.
  15. yarnivek1972
    Great at bat!
  16. yarnivek1972
    All he does is hit.

    I think there is some validity to the argument that the Twins are too slow to promote reliever prospects. Take current Indians closer Cody Allen. I use him as an example because he was drafted in Falvey's first season as dir of baseball ops. Allen pitched 17 innings in A ball, 9 in A+, 7 in AA and about 35 in AAA over roughly one calendar year and then he was up. For good. And he was far from lights out when he came up. The Indians let him struggle a bit at the MLB level. IMO it shows what Falvey's plan might be going forward. Now, I have no problem being a little more cautious with injured guys. But, Mason Melotakis should have been in AAA at the start of the season IMO. Maybe if he had been, the Twins would have a better idea if he was ready for the MLB level.

    Belisle has walked 11 in 15 IP. Not acceptable. Even if you take out the stinkers, it's 7 BB in 14 IP. That's STILL way too many walks.

    I'll say this: pinch running for Vargas in the 9th makes a lot more sense than pinch hitting for him in the 7th.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Allows Vargas to rest after legging out that double?
  22. yarnivek1972
    I wish I could remember more details, but maybe 10 years ago the Mariners had a couple minor league pitchers get hurt. There was a story I read somewhere that suggested it made more sense to not allow them to acrue the service time by optioning them. Granted, that was a couple CBA's ago. And I have only vague recollection of the story.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Having TJ surgery once doesn't mean a guy can't blow out his elbow again. I doubt it even makes it less likely.

    El senor Sano es frio.
