    Against Detroit, no less.

    Thank you, Heezy. It's always interesting to read information presented by a true expert as opposed to the inexpert guesses that we often see on sites such as this.

    Are you posting from somewhere in the British Commonwealth tonight?

    I don't think he was rushed. Keep in mind he had played 4 years of D-I college ball and had success in high A and AA that first summer.

    Gibson played 4 years in D-I college ball, whereas Stewart turned pro right after high school. That's why Gibson played very little in the low minors. Apples to oranges.

    Forsythe had a 9-game (now 10-game) hitting streak so I don't think batting him leadoff was a bad idea.

    We really need Heezy to weigh in on this before deciding who does and doesn't deserve a medical degree.

    I try to give players the benefit of doubt when it comes to injuries. My guess is that it's a nagging injury that's been affecting his performance all year and, like others have said, he finally decided enough is enough. The team doesn't need him to make a pennant drive because there won't be one, he's not going to be traded to a contender, and he wants to be as ready as possible for spring training, wherever that may be. And by the way, I think this could explain why he didn't slide on that close play at second base the other night.

    Success due to the the anti-jinx. You're welcome.

    This Hildenberger-in-the-ninth thing hasn't gone well lately.

    No positioning scheme works every time. You play the percentages. There will be times when a batter gets a lucky hit like this one, or simply goes the other way, although the pitch maybe should have been down and in rather than down and away.

    The second sentence of this post is the crux of the matter. Even though it's early August we are in fall training mode. Evaluate the youngsters because we already know what we have in the veterans. Yes, we need to send our best players to the field when we are facing teams with postseason aspirations but we have a lot of games left against the Tigers, Royals and Whities (plus one series vs Texas) in which to give our prospects in the upper minors a tryout in the bigs.

    Catching is scarce and becoming scarcer, and that's true throughout baseball, not just in the Twins organization. Nobody wants to give up a catching prospect.

    I'd have to say he's most likely. Even though Belisle did it last year it had better not be him.

    I don't know the exact order of teams in the waiver system but Oakland finished tied for second worst AL record last year so they were high on the list. I'm sure he's better than at least one of their relievers so it made sense for them to make the claim. I expect he'll be used regularly, although there's no way he's supplanting Treinen as closer.

    Wow, just happened to have a minute at work and saw the game being tied. That was fun!

    I agree with this which is why I understand the complaints about it. But when it comes to a certain long-tenured player whenever he gets a day off the complaints seem to be that he is underused. Seems like a disconnect to me.

    First base open. Better hitter on deck. Make the pitcher pitch.
  20. Nine of twelve
    Why was Morrison green-lighted on that?
  21. Nine of twelve
    Win win chick din.

    Hmmm. Dick said that if Drake pitches the 9th for the Twins it will be the first time ever that a player has played for 5 different major league teams in one season. I guess if you have an 8.59 ERA you'll get shipped around a lot. Edit: 7.57 ERA. The 8.59 I saw was just the AL ERA.

    Yes. If the third out occurs as the result of a force out no run scores. However, if the third out occurs as the result of a runner getting doubled off after a caught fly ball a run counts if the runner touches home before the throw gets to the base in question. Even though there's no tag required that's not considered a force out.

    The delay is for the Johan Santana Twins HOF induction ceremony. There's no precip on the radar.

    I don't think it's possible for Scott Baio to have a positive WAR.
