It’s just a little, itty-bitty two-game series that begins tonight under the Arch in St. Louis. The Twins probably won’t bother unpacking their bags since they wrap up the series tomorrow at 12Noon. T

I'm impressed too.  There was an audit of a defense contractor?

Inching closer to Cleveland... 1.5 games back after losing 10 of 11  Baseball is weird

On Garver... If I were to guess. With an afternoon game tomorrow. No catcher was going to catch both games so Molitor probably decided that he wanted Garver to catch Odorizzi or wanted Garver to face Martinez. 

 

As for Romero... He looks fantastic... He looks like a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. He looks like he is going to make it real hard to send him back down. 

I think if, from what little I've seen, Romero keeps it up, Hughes isn't much longer for the Twins. 

 

The Twins are in position to have a formidable starting rotation over the next few years, if Romero is able to continue his success.

 

Twins rotation consisting of Berrios, Gibson, Romero and Santana looks pretty good this year. Bullpen should be solid and arms waiting in Rochester to take Santana's spot if his option isn't picked up.

 

Then, with the return of Buxton, Sano and Polanco...

Good question. when does Erv begin rehab? Romero looks good, but SSS. Also, Lynn looked better last time out. A decision doesn't have to be made for 3 more starts, I believe. 

It seems from what's been said, that he's eventually going to move to the pen to keep his innings down.  But I don't see anyone other than Lynn right now that gets nixed from the rotation in the meantime, even if that means eating a lot of dough.   (Heh... Lynn... lot of dough.... ;-)  )

 

But that one-year contract is looking mighty good right now.

Santana (finger) is scheduled to throw 15 pitches off a mound Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. 
*that was last Tuesday

Romero bumps Lynn when Santana comes back if this keeps up? 

 

It'll be an interesting situation if nobody goes on the DL. Chances are... someone will be on the DL. 

 

If not... May straight to the pen. Santana part of a 6 man rotation?

Injuries have a way of making decisions easier.

Hm. The Cards' rook is settling down, too.  

 

Golly, I was hoping they'd toast him, and get into their already-tired pen by now, but he's toughing it out.

 

**Edited**--  we may need a few more runs yet tonight.

Dozier is one of the most extreme hot/cold guys I can remember. He goes long stretches one way or the other and it's really painful when he's stuck in a month plus cold stretch.

Yeh, especially painful when Molly keeps him in critical spots in the order all the while, too.  Maybe a couple of days, at least, at 7, just to shake things out a little?

Is there an assumed innings limit for Romero? 

 

90.1 in 2016

125 in 2017

 

About 150-160 this year? 

 

If so, what's the plan? The way things are going, I could see using him as a starter until he gets to about 125-130, which is probably about July 31. If the Twins are out of it, let him go to his max as a starter. If the Twins are still in it, move him to the bullpen and that's a pretty impressive trade deadline pickup.

I'm liking this Romero kid a lot. The difference between him and Hughes is quite vast, and I'm happy they called him up so soon.

 

I know they felt like they had to give Hughes one last chance, but those 2 starts of Hughes really wasted what might be limited Romero innings (by leaving him in AAA).

Really? Up and in?

Agree. I am fine with beaning someone because Romero hit someone (although not intentional. If you want to out the leadoff runner on first with no outs, then thanks. But don't mess with the head. These pitchers have enough control to hit somewhere else that isn't someone's dome. Stupid.
