  1. He's got a whole highlight reel of Ks with runners in scoring position at this point. There's no point in facing Mauer when it's that easy to strike Sano out. Yeah, I wish, but Molitor is molasses-slow when making lineup changes. Kepler needs to be in the top half of the order when facing a righty.
  2. Methinks Sano is going to strike out here... I hope he proves me wrong.
  3. Not sure how long but I think it the first day was Friday, so he still has 3-5 days to go.
  4. Alright Booze-nitz, let's prove your roster spot and see if you can stick around for the long run.
  5. Looks like Odorizzi has run out of gas. I'm not liking our chances with the way the offense has played thus far.
  6. Darn. Turns out our offense will actually have to do something. Oh wait...
  7. Boy, I sure hope we don't get rained out. That'll be 5 days without any games...
  8. I wonder what his odds will be with the voters. Mauer seems like a guy who would take a few years to build the votes up and won't be getting in on the first ballot. I would like to know what the national baseball pundits think of his odds.
  9. I had applied to an IT position at Delaware North a few months back, and I recently heard I didn't get the job. I'm a bit bummed I won't get to work at Target Field. Maybe we can get some other Twins Daily folks working there, though.
  10. Dude, next time you come back from time travelling, use spoiler tags.
  11. Don't worry, Phil Hughes will likely be coming up and taking one of those roster spots. Then it'll be a 24 man roster with a bad 5th starter!
  12. I don't think Falvey/Levine anticipated that Santana would need surgery in February after his post-season MRI came back clean. Santana started pitching again in February and felt discomfort, leading to the surgery. I suppose it's possible the front office knew something about Ervin's finger I that everyone else didn't, but I doubt it.
  13. Look, I have always been an advocate for Trevor May, but calling him a better pitcher than Ervin Santana? We barely have enough tape on the guy in the majors as a starter to even think that he's better than Ervin. Now after having back problems and then missing a full year to Tommy John surgery, he'll suddenly become a better pitcher than Santana? I highly doubt that. And saying that Santana was going to be irrelevant for the 2018 Twins is simply inaccurate. He was going to be the Opening Day pitcher until the injury happened. The rotation would have been Santana-Odorizzi-Berrios-Lynn-Gibson... I bet if you asked Molitor who his ace starter was, he'd tell you it is Ervin. Even if he's the de facto ace, that makes him at the very least relevant. I was open to trading him, but the price had to be right. I expect regression for him, but apparently not as much as you do... I can just imagine it now, seeing Twins Daily blow up after the front office trades Santana for a B-level prospect and whiffing on Darvish.
  14. From what has been reported, May is currently ramping up and I think he is on track to return in June. I think they want him back as a starting pitcher (Falvey/Levine had a quote about that in Spring Training) but we'll see about that. Pineda is expected to possibly be able to throw in the bullpen in September. I don't think there will be time for him to throw enough innings to be a starter in 2018.
  15. Time for Rosario to atone for his new list of dumb mistakes!
  16. Isn't that the demographic? Seriously though, I have no desire to gamble and seeing those commercials somehow makes me want to do it even less.
  17. Is it that time of the year when the Twins Daily has been hit with spam bots? Either that, or the "Recent Blog" section of Twins Daily has had a very confused person posting about password recovery and Canon printers.
  18. Yep, they need to force Verlander out now. Gotta at least tie it up and start using up their bullpen.
