    Julien looks like his hoping for a BB

    3 hits, HBP and 33 pitches, but only one run. Hope this is Gray's bad inning and he can get through 5 innings.

    I'm sure Cle thought the Angels were going to be cakewalk and ended up losing 3 of 4. I agree that after Tampa the Twins have a favorable schedule. However, the Twins seem to play to the level of their competition. When we expect a team to roll over, they end up winning the series.

    I'd settle for a DP

    I figured his day was done after 7

    He had such a good ab before that last pitch.

    3 outs on basepaths reduce potential Ks

    Hope this isn't a jinx

    Patella tendinitis is the diagnosis and looking at the Mayo Clinic site, it doesn't sound promising.

    I don't expect Buxton to be back this year, unless he comes back for the playoffs, ala Kirk Gibson. I do believe he can be back next year after another surgery. Lewis came back after 2 knee surgeries.

    Positions players have a 10 day IL, pitchers have a 15 day IL.

    You could make a strong case that Francona decision to pitch Fry in the first game probably won this game for Cle. If RP pitchers had been used for 4 innings. The Twins would have been more familiar with them and they may have been tired yesterday. Didn't like the Fry pitching, but it was within the rules and may have allowed Cle to salvage a game.

    "Unfortunately, Ober hit a wall as the calendar turned to August while he also passed a new career-high in innings pitched. Over his subsequent six appearances, Ober's performance struggled mightily. He allowed 21 earned runs in 28 innings with opponents hitting .328/.377/.588 (.965) against him, including eight home runs. " "Ober has proven himself at the big-league level and is part of the team's long-term plan for the starting rotation. It's tough not to think he's gotten the short end of the stick on multiple occasions this year." These statements appear to be contradictory. Ober needed a rest and he had options (and had already been optioned), so IMHO the FO was correct in sending him to STP. I also believe that optioning him was better than putting him on the IL. I believe a player can be recalled after 10 days, while the IL requires 15 days. He is currently eligible to return from STP. Edit: I believe he will be recalled if DK doesn't pitch well Friday.

    Good job by Funderburk

    Chief brought a point a few games ago about shifting when Duran is pitching. LH batter had just hit a ground ball where the SS normally would be standing. Is there a site that tracks how many outs are created or lost because of the shift. With Duran FB is seems that there would be a lot of oppo field ground balls. TIA

    Cle making Ryan throw a lot of pitches. He will be lucky to get thru 4.
  22. IaBeanCounter
    He play 181 innings at first in the minors. 1 error in 136 chances.

    From MLB: "Prior to the World Series, a Wild Card team cannot have home-field advantage over a division winner, which is why Atlanta (NL East champ) had home field over Los Angeles (Wild Card) in the 2021 NLCS, despite the Dodgers holding an 18-game edge in the standings. But in the World Series, all that matters is winning percentage."

    For a fan, it's never too much to ask. Will it happen, probably not. That is what makes baseball so interesting. On August 31, the Twins were 8 games behind in the loss column, 5 games later they are 5 back. Today and the next homestand will decide whether or not it is possible to be the 2 seed.

    Don't look now, but the Twins are only 5 games back in loss column to be the second seed in AL. Keep playing to their potential and they may make up those games. The Twins only have to tie Hou & Tx
