    Fair enough. "Unlikely" is perhaps the better term. Looking over the schedule, the Yankees are playing several bad but not awful teams. But the biggest difference I see is home/road. After tonight, the Yankees have only six remaining home games against 15 road games. IIRC, their splits haven't been huge this year but not getting to play in that stadium has to hurt them some. And, like the Twins, it's equally as likely New York basically shuts it down and takes the final week of the season off.

    Do you expect Rogers to pitch every postseason game? The Twins are likely to lose a few of those games and some won't be close (either in the W or L column, doesn't really matter). Back-to-back nights don't happen to a closer that often and it's less of a problem for the Twins because Rogers isn't a traditional closer. Say it's a back-to-back night. Two of the three hitters in the ninth are righties. Why would you use Rogers there anyway? Play the matchup, not the inning.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    The Yankees are also +2 in games played. While it’s possible they pass the Twins, it’s also very unlikely.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    You’d rather have Perez at $7.5m for one season than have Odorizzi for, say, $12m per season for two seasons? Yikes, no way. I choose Odorizzi 11 times out of 10 in that scenario.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't think that's true. Minnesota is the better team, the rotation is just in shambles right this moment. The Twins can throw bullpen arms out there and keep it close, provided the starter doesn't give up a run per inning. But there's absolutely a danger of being swept. It can happen.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Gonna be a rough series with a bullpen game, then Berrios, then Perez. Get through 1-2 and I'll be okay with it. 2-1 would be a small miracle, IMO.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    The good thing about this lead is just going 3-3 against Cleveland basically buries them.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I was wondering about that. I saw him trying to stretch to third and said “WHY?!?!!!” It was not a smart move, though he’s slow enough the run may have scored anyway. Still though, very little point in taking that risk just to reach third base.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins have one starter signed for next season and Odorizzi has been worth slightly more than 6 fWAR since coming to the Twins last season. Hell yes I find a way to keep that guy. Dunno if I QO him but it's not out of the question based on his demands.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Honest question: what's the point of a 98mph two-seam? Traditionally, a two-seam drops but when thrown at 98mph, pitches don't drop.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    And Odorizzi. Last six starts, 5-1 with a 2.65 ERA. This rotation might not be awful in the postseason, especially if Gibson and Berrios can get some rest.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I've been pretty hard on Kyle recently and feel like a giant ******* now that I know what's going on with him. Frankly, it's amazing he has been a league-average pitcher this season considering what has happened to him. Kudos to you, Kyle. Get well and I hope to see the best version of you in October.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Don't overlook Odorizzi. Since he spectacularly imploded against the Yankees, in six games he is 5-1 with a 2.65 ERA and good peripherals. I'm not knocking Pineda, he's been great, but Odorizzi has quietly been very good again since that implosion.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I go with Smeltzer because I think Thorpe potentially becomes a second lefty in the postseason. Spend the next month figuring out if that is the case.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I understand rolling with five starters through the Cleveland series but if the Twins can stretch out their lead to 5+ games after that’s done, I’d like to see Smeltzer plugged into the rotation and both Berrios and Gibson to start a few bullpen games. Basically, keep their arms fresh but pull them after 60 or so pitches a few times.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    All they need to do is add Graterol to the 40-man roster by September to make him eligible for the postseason.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    They can't call him up in September unless he's added to the 40-man, which qualifies him to pitch in the postseason (Aug 31 deadline for the 40-man addition, I think?). If they're going to promote him at all, that's the only way that makes sense. Otherwise, why bother?
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    It’s good the Twins picked up Dyson and some of their internal options are working out. If things hold as they are now, the Twins can largely ignore the bullpen this offseason and focus on the rotation, which is a hot mess going into the 2020 season.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    What makes you think that? According to Gleeman and his interview from last week, Levine all but said Graterol will get a September call-up.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    So then what stater that was traded would actually have done that? Because now we’re dealing in pitchers who weren’t actually traded, which makes even less sense than the pitchers who were traded and you didn’t like.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Or, "I don't currently like Stroman". http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34065-article-buyer-beware-avoiding-a-chris-archer-trade/page-6?do=findComment&comment=883029
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Literally, what you said on May 7th is: "The Jays can have Gonsalves for Stroman." So now their "lowball offer" is an affront to the organization and its fans? http://twinsdaily.com/topic/33021-trade-target-marcus-stroman/page-2?do=findComment&comment=843430
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I mean, maybe, but you didn't like the guy anyway so why do you care?
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree they probably should have landed Stroman but this is a human effort. They're allowed to be frustrated when a team pulls the trigger unexpectedly, as the entire Mets/Stroman deal went down. Do you think the Twins were the only "frustrated" team after that deal? It was almost nonsensical. I guarantee there are a half dozen GMs shaking their heads, thinking "****, we could have done better than that had they given us the chance". It may not be "your job" to name a good trade but you named a starter you didn't like and now you complain that the team didn't get him.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Yet Minor went untraded when in EVERY DEADLINE several teams need starters. Occam's Razor. You're viewing it in a personal vacuum. You don't think a single other team than the Twins needed a starter? So why did no one land Minor?
