  1. I would have Funderburk over Paddack to have 2 LHRP. Edit: I see you still have Funderburk on the Roster, who did Thielbar replace.
  2. The only good thing about Correa going to the IL is that he won't break the GIDP record.
  3. I wish the Rangers had the LA Dodgers to play between the Seattle series'. But it's the other LA team, the Angels.
  4. In September it seems like the Twins relievers allow the first batter to reach base 50% of the time. Maybe it is a lot lower, but it cause angst every time they have have lead off walk or hit.
  5. 100% agree with you. Per Gameday, Jax pitch was hit 91.3 mph, 36 degree angle and 330 ft, Earlier Larnach hit a pitch with a runner on at 103.9 mph, 44 degree and 337 ft. Missing the barrel of the bat is the objective of pitching.
  6. This was Diaz 3rd blow save out of 40 save opp, and the first that the Reds lost. The first 2 BS, the Reds came back to win.
  7. Polanco has looked bad this game, he came with 2 RISP and took a called strike. Jeffers has been one our best hitters so I wasn't surprised that he was walked.
  8. Was that called strike on Castro as bad as looks on Gameday?
  9. The only reason I can think of is after leaving Lewis last night he didn't want to take a chance on Julien coming up lame attempting to score on a singe.
  10. What did they rule? Foul, hitting the batter and then caught by Solano?
  11. 4 pitch inning! Hope Greene is a little tired.
  12. Was Taylor bunting for a hit or a sacrifice in the 3rd. Both are defensible with the top of order due up. Can't have both Julien and Polanco striking out with 2 RISP.
  13. I don't think the time a pitcher has to stay on the IL/DL has changed (15 days) and pitchers had the greatest increase.
  14. I don't think the Twins will face Seattle in the WC round as after today they have 7 games vs Tex and 3 vs Hou. If they play well they will be the West Div winner. If they play poorly they won't make the playoffs. Of the WC contenders they have the best record after the all star break (38-24), however against playoff contending teams the are 14-15. The Twins have the second best record after the AS break at 35-26 and are 15-12 against playoff contenders.
  15. Is this a Royals thread now?
  16. Also I wonder if the IL stint was used as often for tired arm syndrome or foot contusion ailments.
  17. Your comparison to thoroughbreds is a good analogy. Today's players solely trained to maximize speed. Whether its exit velocity or pitching at 100+ mph. Bert Blyleven often commented on how today's players have been mostly one sport athletes. Player 50-60 years ago were multi sport athletes that trained their other muscles so there wasn't as much strain on the body. So many Twins swing so violently, I'm surprised they don't have more oblique injuries. JMHO
  18. I think it depends on whether Stuart returns and is effective.
  19. Thanks , the batter got a single so I don't see how it changed the inning. What happened to Lewis?
  20. Since the Reds used 4 pitchers before Lively came in, it looks like his game to the end.
  21. what AB are you talking about? TIA
  22. Funderburk making his case to be on the playoff roster.
