Twins Vs Rangers 9/3/2023 1:35pm CT. Get away game, grip and rip!

[GusGus11]

I think we have all asked this 500 times

 

But why is Cole Sands on this roster?

Just pitch Willi Castro

No idea why sands is on this roster over Varland at this point. Seriously. 

Depends on usage. As infrequently as Sands has been used and in what spots he has pitched, it wouldn’t make any sense to waste Varland. Right here, right now, I’d rather see the kid from St. Paul.

Ballys    please dont  bring  Smalley to Cleveland,  is there a schedule of whos  doing games ?

Atteberry will be in the booth for Bally;s...

[mnfireman]

Bullpen is taxed, so let's pull the starter after 80, pitches and 5 innings...

Won’t be shocked to hear Varland is on a flight to Cleveland.

Actually its subjective and unable to be proven

So then, similar to "most baffling decision in the history of Minnesota spirts."

 

Gonna take a wild stab and posit you've never heard of Rogers Hornsby.

Except I'd guess Varland moves to about third best RP ...

Chief was his field manager.

[USAFChief]

Kepler has legit been their best player 2nd half.

No because what I said has actual data behind it

There is zero data behind vazquez in 1930. Gonna take a wild stab you never took an english and/or grammar course?

Kiroloff  should be with him,  for Gallo,  or Luplow

Because there's no evidence Varland is any better?

I mean, yeah, give Varland a shot. But I doubt he's significantly different, and he has no relief experience, to boot. He's not going to be a short reliever. 

[rwilfong86]

Correa!!

[Jocko87]

That's one way to avoid the GIDP!  Bounce it over the top!

[PDX Twin]

Amazing. Odds-on CC hits into a DP there. 

[stringer bell]

Wow! Correa hits a DP grounder that turns into an RBI single. Things might actually even out. 

[GusGus11]

Well, what is typically the Correa patented DP ends up a single and a run!

Nice response here.

He actually topped it so bad, it turned out good!

I been sayin

[stringer bell]

What is Vázquez’ WPA today?

[USAFChief]

We PH at the drop of a hat, but not for Vazquez. 

Boooo.

[rwilfong86]

Vazquez has stranded 7 runners today himself.

I would guess it is negative. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Black Hole  Vasquez

Boooo.

Rocco would rather see Vazquez strand baserunners than pinch hit Jeffers

[GusGus11]

Does Rocco realize we are still in a division race??

Pitching Sands and letting Vazquez hit in games we need to win defies any sort of baseball logic

[Dave Borton]

Molitor on radio, in an implicit comment re: Baldelli:

"When I had him (Kepler) as a young player, batted him against left-handers to learn -- as we knew he was going to be an everyday player for us."

Blowing your wad before the most important series of the year would also defy all the baseball logics.

Moliter was a hands on Coach,  total opposite of Rocco,
