Article: Charting A Twins Playoff Rotation
Brock Beauchamp replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Yes, this. With a long bullpen in the postseason, getting 6+ out of your starter isn't as important. -
wut no
-
No, before.
-
He’s missing ~5mph on his slider. Liriano’s slider was historically good. IIRC, he could get it up to 92mph and the bottom fell out. It was a good fastball that suddenly lost a violent battle with gravity.
-
The Tigers are making Mejia’s slider look really good tonight.
-
103mph, lefty on lefty. Yeah, you want to see Joe put wood on the ball there but crikey.
-
They walked away from a homestand with a 4-2 record. Yeah, it would have been nice to walk away 5-1 but if you win two out of three at home, you've done okay for yourself.

I know everybody's super busy bitching and moaning about who the Twins did or didn't trade but Santana is gutting out a decent game. Other than Judge's homer, most of the baserunners have been bad luck.
-
Everybody is falling for that slider.
-
My first reaction to that stat.
-
Oh no, their plate appearances were terrible. But the striezone appears to be huge tonight. Like absurdly so.

Jesus. This ump.

Oy. Rosario.

Article: Getting To 85
Brock Beauchamp replied to John Bonnes's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Yeah, it's now down to the Angels and Twins and LA has a tough road ahead. The Twins likely only need six or so wins to advance to the WC game and they have seven games against Detroit during that stretch. They should be able to walk away from a depleted Detroit team with five wins, certainly no fewer than four wins. If the Twins don't pull this off, they have no one to blame but themselves. They simply need to show up, play competitive ball, and this thing is likely over. -
Also an option but honestly, you just let Eddie swing away in that situation. His K% is down to 18% this season. That's not Mauer-esque but it's damned respectable, one of the lower rates on the team. And even if he makes an out, Rosario is a LHB. If he puts wood on the ball, it's likely going to the right side of the infield or RF. Buxton advances anyway.

On the topic of bunting, that entire inning irritated the **** out of me. First, Buxton is something like 26 for 25 in stolen base attempts. Yes, he's better than humanly possible. The official scorer gave him an extra stolen base on May 31st because what the hell, the guy's just that fast and the scorer was a little bit drunk. So you have the fastest man on the planet, a guy who recently outran SpaceX because he got bored watching one of their satellite launches and wanted to show them what's up, and the hottest hitter on the Twins at the plate. You send that guy and let Rosario hit the baseball, something he is frighteningly good at lately.

Tom, these are amazing. Every day. I used to flip over to MLB.com for the game recap every morning but I now come to my own friggin' site to do it and that's all you. You're the best thing to happen to Twins Daily this season and I hope you realize it. With that said, I have to call you out for not getting "Dubble Bubble" right.

I don't disagree but it's also perfectly acceptable to be irritated with Vargas for his sudden incompetence against LHP. Given his past performance and the current roster, the Twins could really use a not-awful Kennys Vargas.
-
Totally taking credit for this win. Baby started screaming during the inning break so I missed everything. Which is close to a guarantee something good will happen.
-
FIFY.
-
Yep.
-
Yep.
-
So Matt Belisle is on the mound. There's nothing scary about this.
-
Molitor could have pinch-hit for Castro but it sure would have been nice if Vargas made fewer than two outs. Hell, I'm not even asking for him to reach base, just make one friggin' out.
-
God, all Vargas needs to do to earn a spot on this team is be something approaching competent against LHP.
