Gearrin might be a better choice for now.

Brett Anderson throws 74 MPH knuckle curve near the middle of the plate for first pitch strike. Every single Twins player takes the called first strike. Silly?

Thorpe throws 88 MPH fastball and he can't even locate. I don't care how young he is. He needs to go away. He might not belong in the major.

For real?

Hader doesn't throw as hard as he used to.

Royals manager took Kubic out with one man on just before facing Nelson Cruz . Rocco should learn something from that.

SELL SELL SELL. RELEASE RELEASE RELEASE. That's all I want to say.

Slegers has been inconsistent at best, Littell has been a disaster, Duffey is just a long reliever at best, Thorpe and Stewart have not reached the major and I think both are overrated. I believe only Gonsalves, Romero and Graterol are legit.

Not with Lynn on the mound though.

Indians won today, no gain.

Dozier got a K and Escobar got a HR.

Maybe that's why Belisle has been well liked in the bullpen. He is certainly a good team player.

Cave wasn't able to make the play and then he completely gave up. That's just the attitude of the team. I think the FO needs to trade Dozier, Lynn, Santana, Duke, Rodney, Grossman and then release or trade Morrison, Wilson, Belisle and Motter. Call up Buxton, Sano, Gordon, Vargas, Graterol, Moya, J Reed, Duffey, Mejia and Romero.

May is going to be a reliever I think. I would like to see the FO bring back Escobar and Mauer for what they are worth.

To be fair, Dozier has demonstrated the ability to get on base and Escobar has demonstrated the ability to drive in runs when RISP. Escobar just started to show more power when getting regular AB.

I only look at batting avg when RISP because that's what matters the most.

He's been hitting mostly leadoff and he's been extremely durable. That explains the stats. He is one of the worst hitters when RISP. If that makes him a superstar, I don't know what else to say.

Are you sure Dozier is the best player over a period of 4 years heading into this year? The best player hardly performs when it matters? Escobar and Mauer have been doing way better when RISP. I am still not sure we can say they are the best players.

Are you sure it's just one game? The stats shows Dozier rarely performs when it matters throughout his career.

I don't understand why people would like someone who hardly performs when it matters. This game is about scoring runs not stats.

So you think it's okay to perform like that. Cave also had a bad game tonight. 4 Ks I think.

Dozier surely has a negative effect in the game for the Twins. When runners were on the base, he either hit into DP or failed to move the runners over. That's pathetic hitting.

Another RBI when RISP, that's why Escobar is so valuable.

Dozier is not doing much in today's game. GIDP, strikeout, strikeout. Whoever lets Dozier hit 3rd in the lineup is creative. It's a creative way to lose games.

Dozier is not doing much when it matters in today's game.
