How bad would you feel as a Twins fan right now?

High socks Robertson gets it done

no high socks??! robertson looks so different

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) I wonder if the Sox would be better with Sanchez at 2b and Lawrie at DH. If anything, Lawrie should be the one getting benched in that scenario

Frazier's actually fast and steals bases, so idk what that was

nice hit Frazier. Robertson may get screwed out of another save situation

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) Yeah I don't get the complaints. Plus he's pitched all of one inning, let's not crucify the guy yet. Yeah, if I'm not allowed to dislike Jimmy Rollins at this point, they're not allowed to dislike Duke at this point

With the new alignment, Danks is essentially the #2 starter

We can't bring Jennings in for Mauer because he's a reverse split. There are no other lefties to bring in. No reason to complain about Duke

Has the HP umpire been bad all day?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) In order to make a case for Saladino to be owed more PT literally five games into this season, you have taken 2/3 of a single season of defensive data from the less popular of two divergent WAR systems and extrapolated it to an entire season. And it STILL ends up 30% lower than the number quoted in the post you quoted. You're using numbers the way tobacco companies use numbers. The number being used ("over 3") is 3.57. 3.57 is definitely not 30% less than 4. You're also assuming that he never improves. (Since OP said he doesn't put up a season as good as 2014 Rollins even at full ceiling, and someone decided to make WAR the only stat being talked about)

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) I thought Quintana got a ND in his start? correct

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) I don't think it's highly debatable that Saladino likely never puts up a 4 WAR season. His WAR/162 was over 3 last year.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) We need more of a sample size on JR though. That 2014 Rollins season is better than anything you can get from Saladino even from his fully realized ceiling. So you have to exhaust the small chance you can still get that '14 production from him. And it takes more than a handful of atbats to determine it. That is highly debatable. (The defensive value Saladino brings plus his hitting that probably wouldn't be too much worse may be better than Rollins' overall production)

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) Panik has outplayed Weise lately. And Ladd is fine, going to practice tomorrow. Isn't Weise famous for "flipping the switch" come playoff time, though?

I like Navarro starting against the righty.

Don't worry guys, I'm wearing my Quintana shirsey today. Bad luck averted.

The MN lineup isn't that bad. Really 6-8 are the weaknesses.

It's Sale who is horrible in Minnesota (at least in 2015), not Quintana, right?

The Twins' first W this year will likely be against us...
