JackTalkThai Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Holy Jesus. They just said on the radio that Zumaya hit 103 mph on the radar in the top of the 8th. Now I know the in-stadium radar guns aren't calibrated frequently....but damn. That 21 year old has an absolutely insane arm.

southsideirish71 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Possible Twins rotation change. A coworker called on this. According to KFAN Radio In Minny. So until its in print take it with a grain of salt. Lohse has been demoted to AAA, and some guy named Boof Bonser to start against the Brewers on Sunday.

Finally, this move makes total sense and I'd be surprised if they didn't callup Boof. Just more proof that AJ Pierzynski was involved in the worst trade in major league history.

Just more proof that AJ Pierzynski was involved in the worst trade in major league history. I am surprised they didnt move Lohse to the bullpen. I know he had a tirade the other night. But he has a decent salary and you want to keep his trade value intact, because someone will want him. As crazy as that sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benchwarmerjim Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 well, the Twins didnt really want give him $4mil they went to arbritration, and the judge ruled the Lohse is a 4 million dollar pitcher Lohse got pulled from the game last night mid inning, and instead of cheering on his replacement on the bench, he stormed into the lockerroom, which is a no-no in pitching coach Rick Anderson's book. Last year, he got pulled from a game and punched the managers door to his office, hurting his hand So, it wouldnt surprise me if something is done soon about Lohse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Twins optioned RHP Kyle Lohse to Triple-A Rochester. It's about time the Twins did something aggressive. Lohse was 2-4 with an 8.92 ERA in eight starts. He should return later on and be an adequate fourth or fifth starter, but this is the best move for the ballclub. Boof Bonser will replace him in the rotation and start Sunday against the Brewers. Twins recalled RHP Boof Bonser from Triple-A Rochester. A less stingy team would have called up a reliever until Bonser was needed to start Sunday's game. Bonser will join the Minnesota rotation after going 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA, 33 H and 47/20 K/BB in 49 1/3 IP for Rochester. Using him right away in AL-only leagues would be a risky strategy, but he is worth stashing away. He's probably a long-term fifth starter at best.
