  1. Of course, double plays can mitigate that.
  2. Not good, if he can only throw 50% strikes with a 4-0 lead
  3. The emergence of Duffey and May has been a really nice add to the late season push. I want to see them in high leverage against Boston, Cleveland and Washington to really feel confident.
  4. I don't see the Angels, Oakland or St. Louis as viable trade partners. The Angels need pitching, not outfielders. Oakland and St. Louis just aren't going to value someone like Rosario.
  5. Marwin Gonzalez at Free Safety - He has to roam around and cover for the others. (Stretch Here, but ... ) Trevor May at Linebacker - All that talking to himself makes me sometimes think he's got the crazies like Romanowski
  6. No words ... My condolences to this young man. https://www.milb.com/milb/news/wife-child-of-tampa-bay-rays-prospect-blake-bivens-reportedly-slain/c-310350932
  7. Tyler and Taylor will be circling May 4-6 next season, provided they both stay healthy and Tyler makes the cut. I don't thing Taylor has to worry about making the cut, being a top 5 reliever in all of baseball.
  8. It was either Morris or Blyleven that stated something about Littell's fastball not playing as a starter at this level. His off-speed offerings are good, but his fastball plays better in the bullpen where he can just let it fly and not worry about saving anything for the 3rd-6th innings. With that said, I would be OK with FO planning that Littell will be one of the five core relievers next year. You have to leap with some of these guys, and I think Littell is a good bet. Rogers, Dyson, Duffey, May, Littell is a good start for the 2019 bullpen. I would say they need to get another lefty, but is that really going to be important with the 3 batter rule?
  9. The Twins will have to play way better than they did against Detroit, or this is going to be another lost series. Giolito is turning into the best starting pitcher in the division (I see you blushing, Bieber), and Dylan Cease is starting to figure it out (he has all the talent necessary to slot in right behind Giolito). Extra outs and bases handed over by the defense just aren't an option.
  10. I agree, but the title of the article was definitely leaning toward the very high expectation. I'm not going to do that, especially with my current string of luck.
  11. The Twins definitely need something like this to happen, but I'm not going to bank on it. I'll be happy to see him called up, but I'm not going to get giddy about some possible Price or K-Rod-esque playoff performance. Asking for a 5-1 homestand against Chicago and Detroit seemed much more reasonable, and we can't even have something nice like that. If I start wishing for a Graterol-led miracle, he'll probably come up and blow out his elbow two pitches in. This is all my fault. I went to the one game that they lost to Detroit, and I lost Sale, Tatis, Lowe, Anderson and now probably Peralta to season ending injures in basically one week of fantasy baseball. Maybe I should start wearing palehose and pinstripes and putting feathers in my hair .... Then the Twins can start winning and all the rivals and other playoff chasers can get some of this evil mojo.
  12. Really disappointing week. Needed a rally on Saturday just to scrape to .500 for the week against two teams that have already thrown in the towel. Looking at those uniforms all weekend just made it worse.
  13. Pathetic ... Go down 1-2-3 to this team hopping joker like a dog to pentobarbital.
  14. This team is a joke. One hit off of Jackson first time through the order. Supposedly sensational Arraez can't field a ground ball right at him. Gibson thinks it's best to bust a guy with a .125 average in and can't command it and gives him a free base.
  15. That foul ball put the d--- back in Dixon.
  16. They're all volunteering at the asylum after the game.
  17. Wow ... Rogers has modeled his swing after 2018 Sano Checks K-Rate: Yep, same results
  18. We don't want Cleveland getting too far back. They might move some guys before the waiver deadline and improve their farm. Oh, wait ... Yeah, go Royals.
  19. Falvine probably thinks playing Castro more will give them a better competitive balance round pick.
  20. I was just gifted a "Crony" shirt at the gate, so I guess that's my favorite now. Apparently, there is a referendum that I'm supposed to vote in favor of .....
  21. I don't think any of the names hold a candle to "Boomstick" or "La Makina". "La Regadera" doesn't roll quite as smoothly, but it might grow on me. I can roll my r's about as well or slightly worse than Dick Bremer, so I could see this one being higher on the list for someone more skilled in Spanish phonetics. I like Caveman and Garv Sauce (I'm surprised they aren't marketing bottles of hot sauce yet). Pass on the rest.
