Don't blame him, even with a large strike zone you can't call some of those pitches strikes. I've been fortunate enough to watch this entire day game so far and there's been zero consistency which is the worst to deal with as a hitter.

That's fair. And thank you, I've enjoyed the site for some time now, figured it was about that time to put in my thoughts once in a while as well.

I must be the only person terrified by the thought of Berrios being our number one starting pitcher for years to come...

Due up for the Twins in the top half of the third: Field, Wilson, Forsythe.............................

I've thought Hildy has had questionable "stuff" his entire tenure with the Twins thus far. An inning like the ninth tonight will never surprise me when he's on the mound. On the bright side, Trevor May looked fantastic and could find himself a real nice role out of the pen.

Would love to see Gonsalves and Rooker get a little bit of experience at the big league level. Gonsalves has been deserving of a chance for quite some time and Rooker really looks like the power hitter from the right side of the plate the Twins could use in the near future. I think Romero - barring a massive setback - should be a relative lock for the rotation or at least a very good look next year. Austin getting some regular big league time in a low pressure situation would be nice to see as well given the raw power and potential he offers. A couple others not mentioned I would love to see are Wade/Wiel. Both do a pretty solid job setting the table at the top of the lineup and though it's only AA you have to be encouraged by Zanders numbers, especially that average. Other than that, you guys nailed it. Great piece.

I'm glad you can read MILB posts as well. Unfortunately the Twins don't have another internal option besides Gordon, it should be his chance that arrives next at the middle infield position. I've seen players called up to the majors for a trial run on worse stats than what Nick has produced at AAA. Obviously he hasn't been the prospect we all would've hoped for this second half of the year but he's surely a better option than a washed up Logan Forsythe. One word that should help clear up this argument for those of you blindly thinking Forsythe deserves a Twins roster spot - potential. I get we aren't going to cut him given how much he is owed but man, that would be nice.

I would love for our roster to get shaken up a little bit so we can actually start to take a look at different options. The worst thing about the trade deadline was that we brought back Logan Forsythe. In my opinion he takes up a valuable roster spot that Nick Gordon could surely benefit from. I get the market was clearly trending in a negative way for Dozier to be moved but he is definitely good enough to net a return without having to bring back dead weight (you'd think right?). If we don't get a look at players this year, we are going to be tight with the 40 man and looking at different roster options when players no longer have options left. I'd love to see us part ways with Belisle, Morrison, Forsythe, and others but because of the money owed I don't know if that will happen. Losing those three we automatically create room for a Gordon, Austin, Curtiss/Gonsalves type combination of prospects that deserve a shot with low pressure. I'd be thrilled to see the FO make some ballsy decisions and expand our roster before September rolls around.
