Question - Winder is now the Cole Sands.  Let's get someone in the pen that we will use.  Same with Floro. 

That is a question? To your point, a post-season roster would only have 12 or possibly 11 pitchers. López, Gray and Ryan seem locked in as the three certain starters. On the relief side, we have Duran, Jax, Thielbar, and Pagán as locks, leaving four or five spots. I think Funderburk and Varland are two penciled in and Floro is probably also currently in. Stewart and Paddack are coming back from injury, Maeda and Ober are starters who could work out of the ‘pen. Sands, Headrick and Winder look like they are out of the picture unless there are more injuries.

I had to go back and watch the Sano walk-off error just to compare it to last night. That play was waaay crazier, which is saying something.

I don’t see Ober as a postseason reliever. I expect him to be the fourth starter, but we only need 3 starters on the roster for the first round. I believe the roster can be reset after each round so there’s no need to include him until the next round. And I wouldn’t rule out Keuchel as a postseason reliever.

Twins had to bring Krilloff up for a multiple of reasons. Who believes Gallo really has a foot contusion. I don't like it that Gallo is still lurking in the shadows. Should have cut the cord once and for all ..

The so-called foot contusion will give the Twins the pretext to leave Gallo off the playoff roster.

I don't think Keuchel would be a good choice for a post season start. Still too up-and-down for a short series where you can't overcome a lot of mistakes and expect to survive. Maybe in the pen?

Can you blame them after all the injuries last year?

This started before last year.
