Wow, thought it was gone.

So in other words, a manager should make only the right moves and never the wrong moves.

We need Maeda to be on his game tonight. If he is we might be able to squeak out a 3-2 win.
-
IMHO he has been good enough that he merits a place on the roster. In other words, we don't have anyone in the system who looks to be more reliable. This doesn't mean that I experience good feelings when he is brought in but continued success could change that.

At this time there are rain cells approaching TF. It looks like they'll be well clear of the area by game time. Of course, more can appear out of nowhere in conditions like we are experiencing today.

Comment on Gallo pinch running for Solano in the 10th. Even though I have never thought of Gallo as a particularly fast runner I suspect Solano is slower. But beyond that base running is about more than just speed. For example, Tom Kelly has said that Kent Hrbek was a good base runner because he had good baseball instincts and was a good judge of his own speed. Gallo scoring on the sac fly in the 10th inning is a play that some players don't make. He knew he needed to go all out from the base when the ball was caught just in case something weird happened and as a result he was in position to score.

I was one of those who predicted 90-93 wins before the season started. We would need to go 37-24 (.607) to get to 90. Right now with the roll we are on that seems eminently possible.

Winning this type of game is the mark of a successful team. I'm going to stop short of saying team of destiny but I think we have been witnessing a turnaround during the last 10 days. It's time for the team to leave the rest of the division eating our dust.

7-2 since the break. Let's go for 8-2 tomorrow!
-
Nailed it!!!

Benintendi's butt was practically in the Twins' dugout. He had no shot.
-
Way to hold that foul tip!
-
OK Big Guy, blow 'em away.
-
Jax does his job. Big time. Now let's get some insurance.
-
It was not a home run.
-
OK, bully, lock it down and bring it home.
-
MAT clutch!
-
Vazquez should know better than to run the bases so poorly. Run until the umpire tells you not to.

I just know the answer to the first question.
-
I know the answer but I'll hold off for a bit in case someone else wants to post it.
-
Guess it would have scored anyway.
-
We just gave a run away.
-
Most of the time one of the goals is to make the pitcher throw a lot of pitches and get him out of the game early. It may have been the opposite last night--keep Lynn in the game as long as possible so they can hit off him instead of a reliever.

Interesting situation given his very good AAA numbers so far, and I wonder how much longer we have to decide. I think it would be good to have a left-handed starter, and if the Twins decide to put him in the rotation I'd move Maeda to the bullpen. On the other hand, he would provide a big contrast in style and handedness to our starters which could help to make him an effective 6th and/or 7th inning reliever.
