    God, I so miss the days of that guy going oppo and slapping the ball all around the field. And damn, he had wheels.

    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.

    Okay, so you roster Santana, Berrios, and... *winces in pain* Out of Colon, Mejia, and Gibson, which two do you field in a postseason series? *throws up in mouth* Gibson probably gets the call but god, that guy in a postseason game makes me want to cry before the first pitch is even thrown.

    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.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    FIFY.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    So Matt Belisle is on the mound. There's nothing scary about this.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    God, all Vargas needs to do to earn a spot on this team is be something approaching competent against LHP.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I knew he was traded, had no idea for what. Had to look it up.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Trade to the Mariners for Stephen Pryor.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    The guy is a freakshow and I can't tell if he's a gimmick or legitimately good. I can't recall the last time I've seen a guy just change arm angles at will and throw some of the same pitches with very different movement.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins could play a bullpen game, pitch every good reliever one inning, and still empty their bullpen in three innings. In other words, there's room for Berrios.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, so, Hildenberger.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, so, Hildenberger. This kid is okay.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, sure, we'd all like Sano at third more often. I don't think that's really a controversial statement. When he went down with the fluke shin injury, Miguel was on pace for about ~105 games at third. A little lower than I'd like to see but not that far off a 120 game pace.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Dunno, I'm pretty close on both of them. Kepler has the advantage of age, defensive ability (which seems to be better than Rosario this year, and Max can cover CF better than Eddie), and polish/discipline. Rosario has the advantage of L/R splits, pure hitting ability, and current performance. I suspect they end up as similarly valuable players but get there very differently. I still believe Kepler probably has the higher ceiling, as it's hard to argue with plate discipline, especially as a player enters their prime.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Was just going to say something similar. Guys who can grip a pitch and send it into the stands with regularity should do what Rosario did last night. Guys like Grossman and Mauer should stick to the approach that makes them successful.

    If Texas stays in the race, they likely eliminate the Angels from the race (three game set starting tomorrow night). Which is why it's good that the Twins are fighting with three AL West teams down the stretch. The most likely outcome is that those three teams just beat up on each other and the Twins either hold their lead or gain a game or two.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    We're getting to the point where it's a race between the Twins vs. Yankees and Twins vs. Angels. And the Twins vs. Yankees race exists only because they have a head-to-head series remaining. I expect everyone except the Angels to effectively be out of the race after the Toronto series, provided the Twins do their job and either split or take three of four (which could borderline eliminate the Angels if Houston steps up).
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    True, the front of the rotation was better in 1987 but the entire pitching staff was bleh in the ALCS. The Twins won through a bit of dumb luck and some really mediocre pitching. They hit their way to the WS (where the pitching staff improved a bit). And that's my point, really. Both the 1987 and the 2017 teams match up pretty closely. A strong offense and meh pitching. But the road to a World Series championship is a lot harder in 2017. The Twins need 12 wins to get there versus just eight in 1987.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Not really. The 1987 team's pitching staff was pedestrian (99 ERA+) and not terribly different than this season (96 ERA+). Whereas this year's offense (103 OPS+) is actually slightly better than the 1987 squad (97 OPS+). The 1987 squad simply wasn't very good. They got lucky and hot at the right time in an era when eight wins nets you a championship.
