June 17, 20179 yr Turley might be left out to be his own long man for awhile. His pitch count is still in good shape. The Twins have to get at least 5 from Turley. 6 would be fantastic.
June 17, 20179 yr I have been diagnosed as just plain irregular. Kaopectate might help with that, maybe some Pepto.
June 17, 20179 yr worst pitching staff in ALThat's what happens when you decide to sign 100 year old free agents, and to trust Hughes. But, hey, we should completely trust them.
June 17, 20179 yr Counting on Hughes (health-wise) or Santiago (skill-wise) to begin with...not a good idea.Judging by the fact that this FO seems much more willing to part with dead weight, I would expect this offseason to have more signings. When things have been Messed up for so long, it wasn't going to get better overnight
June 17, 20179 yr Wolfson had a tweet that he's just going to be there for a couple weeks to get used to playing OF every day, then likely go to Ft MyersHe can't do that against people close to his age? Really?
June 17, 20179 yr That's what happens when you decide to sign 100 year old free agents, and to trust Hughes. But, hey, we should completely trust them.Sit tight, we only have two more years of tingly finger phil

June 17, 20179 yr Judging by the fact that this FO seems much more willing to part with dead weight, I would expect this offseason to have more signings. When things have been Messed up for so long, it wasn't going to get better overnightThere aren't many good options for starters. And they choose this bullpen.
June 17, 20179 yr Wolfson had a tweet that he's just going to be there for a couple weeks to get used to playing OF every day, then likely go to Ft Myers Much more cool with that.
June 17, 20179 yr Nik Turley vs Cleveland batters: knockout.gif Should I ask where you found this? Or why?
June 17, 20179 yr In their defense, what choice do they have with Santiago and Hughes outThey could......spend some money in the offseason....dun dun duuuuunnn....(cue high pitch woman scream).... They don't have to spend $200M and get Max Scherzer to have a reasonably serviceable 6/7th option. Especially when you're penciling in Phil Hughes, who clearly shouldn't have been in the rotation from the beginning.
June 17, 20179 yr Man I thought that was gone. And wtf is Rosario doing down 4 runs? He makes some egregious rookie mistakes
June 17, 20179 yr Man I thought that was gone.And wtf is Rosario doing down 4 runs? He makes some egregious rookie mistakesHe's not baseball smart.
June 17, 20179 yr How many times has Rosario been thrown out on the bases this year? 5? 6? Down 4-0. Bad decision.
June 17, 20179 yr They could......spend some money in the offseason....dun dun duuuuunnn....(cue high pitch woman scream)....They don't have to spend $200M and get Max Scherzer to have a reasonably serviceable 6/7th option. Especially when you're penciling in Phil Hughes, who clearly shouldn't have been in the rotation from the beginning.What else were they supposed to do with Hughes though?
June 17, 20179 yr Can't see the play, but that's one more reason I don't trust Rosario long term, he seems to make bad decisions too often
June 17, 20179 yr What else were they supposed to do with Hughes though?get rid of him? not compound the mistake Ryan made when he extended him. You JUST wrote 'Judging by the fact that this FO seems much more willing to part with dead weight' Edited June 17, 20179 yr by jimmer
June 17, 20179 yr I don't think I have enough scotch for this. What is this, your first season? Most Twins fans buy by the barrel.
June 17, 20179 yr What else were they supposed to do with Hughes though?They could just waive him and move on. Sure they'd have to eat his salary, but they can move on and give others a chance.
June 17, 20179 yr What is this, your first season? Most Twins fans buy by the barrel.No, that's why the supplies are low. I didn't make it to the store today.
June 17, 20179 yr It goes farther. Tonight's Weather Outlook (TWO) includes a chance of Thunderstorms With Occasionallightning (TWO). The omens are everywhere if you know where to look.Uh-oh... Those sound like Terrible Twos.
June 17, 20179 yr Need some humor.... As read on the internet.... Bezos.... Alexa, buy food at whole foods Alexa... Buying whole foods
June 17, 20179 yr They could......spend some money in the offseason....dun dun duuuuunnn....(cue high pitch woman scream).... They don't have to spend $200M and get Max Scherzer to have a reasonably serviceable 6/7th option. Especially when you're penciling in Phil Hughes, who clearly shouldn't have been in the rotation from the beginning.Hmmm, not sure how you justify that statement. He looked serviceable enough through 6 starts. And what exactly should the Twins have done with Hughes if not have him in the rotation from day one? Have him in the pen? And who exactly would have been starting instead? A free agent? Do you know who the top free agent starting pitcher was last year? 800 year old Bartolo Colon.
June 17, 20179 yr Santana and New Guy, then break out the two-ply. http://happymoneysaver.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/toiletpaperlayers2ply.gif
June 17, 20179 yr get rid of him? not compound the mistake Ryan made when he extended him. You JUST wrote 'Judging by the fact that this FO seems much more willing to part with dead weight'And eat two years of his salary for a team that lost 103 games last year? I don't think anyone on the roster, in the FO or on this board envisioned the twins/Indians series in mid June carrying any real significance. Did you?
June 17, 20179 yr They could just waive him and move on. Sure they'd have to eat his salary, but they can move on and give others a chance.Yeah, because the Twins have a long history of eating $39,000,000 in salary.
