Progressive Field, Cleveland Ohio.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We must be cautious.

Lets Go Pablo! And Lets go Twins.

The pitching end of those stats may lead to a different result.

[Road trip]

Ah yes, the dreaded LHP lineup.  Gonna see this three times this series, I fear.  I wonder if Wallner and Larnach will manage 10 plate appearances combined over the next four games?

Somebody, anybody of the platoon subs needs to have a good stretch of at bats this week.  Farmer? Margot? Vazquez?  We need some unexpected contributions...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Should i be concerned that they are batting Correa and Santana back to back?

They can just bring a  pitcher that is tough on Carloses to pitch to both.

[C-Gangster]

I cant wait to see margot go 0-3 then have rocco pinch hit larnach in and strike out to end the game.

The LHP lineup is a lot different with Buxton and Correa though. 

Cleveland has righties Williams and Bibee lined up for the next 2 games, so I think they end up with around 10 PAs each over the course of the series.

Farmer has an OPS over 1.000 over the last month (40 ish PAs).  I think he'll contribute.

You are right, my mistake.  For some reason I thought I had heard Cleveland had 3 lefties scheduled to start along with Bibee.  

Farmer is also my pick to click... what a strange thing to type.

Dobnak designated for assignment.

I will miss him pitching within himself.

Still waiting to see the pro in procrastination...

Them:

2. Gimenez 2B (L)

3. Ramírez, Jo 3B (S)

4. Naylor, J 1B  (L)

5. Thomas, L CF (R)

6. Manzardo DH (L)

7. Brennan RF (L)

8. Naylor, B C (L)

9. Rocchio SS (S)

 

I see they subscribe to the "Bat second , play Second" philosophy.

(not to mention the third. Third is the word.)

He kinda is.

Lucky to miss Kwan, but with Cleveland's luck his replacement will go 4/4.

Remind me how the post season works...

If the Twins make, they should get used to playing on the road, no?

So this week is a good fall training as it were for the playoffs?

Facing contending teams on the road...

This is a good time to get on a roll instead of a bun!

I can wait to see that. Hope it doesn't happen until spring training.
