Nice day for the lesser known names. LaMarre with 2 hits including an HR, Wade with a clutch, gutsy take of 3rd base and a hit in the 12th, and of course, the hero of the game, Ronald Torreyes.
I think we'll see more power from Arraez in future seasons. He has the build for it and a great ability to put the big part of the bat on the ball. I had my doubts at times during the season about his long term potential, but I think he'll be a key part of the Twins lineup for many years to come.
Great job by Rogers, but gotta clean up the defense. Good teams like the Yankees or Astros will have better players batting to take advantage of those bad fielding plays.
I think a bit of it can be indireclty because of the Romo and Dyson acquisitions. Relievers knew that they needed to step up their game or else they would lose their spot. Healthy competition at play.
A playoff bullpen of Rogers, May, Duffey, Graterol, Littell, Romo, and Stashak is looking like it could hold up quite well based on recent performances by each of them. Very good sign.
