darin617 Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 With Buxton out why did they swap everyone around in a sense? Rosario played left field basically all year and Kepler played right most of the time. You would think you would be playing guys where they were comfortable all season. I know it doesn't matter much when the bats seem to have gone ice cold anyways. Just bugged me and felt like I needed a mini rant to feel better.

Now, I never thought Cave's arm was terrible so I don't fully understand moving Rosario but no effing way should Jake Cave go anywhere near centerfield in a postseason game.
Hosken Bombo Disco Community Moderator Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Rocco started Rosario in right field because he wanted Rosario to rob a home run from the Yankees with their short fence. He said it on the radio to Provus leading up to game one.

Hosken Bombo Disco Community Moderator Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Wait, what?yah I will search for a clip tomorrow if no one corroborates

That way, whether Cave makes an ill-advised dive to his left or to his right, you can have another outfielder there to back him up.

diehardtwinsfan Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I'm still trying to figure out what Cave was diving for on that play yesterday. He had no chance of coming up with that ball.

That was truly weird and if I remember it correctly it was the top of the inning after the Twins bats failed with bases loaded and no outs. Just a bad 20 minute stretch of baseball

He had no chance of coming up with that ball. I think he saw a portal out of the "Upside Down" and was trying to dive through before it closed. Sadly, he didn't make it, and he had to continue suffering at the hands of the Demogorgons just like the rest of us.
