  1. I guess Buxton is the only one on the team who could possibly steal a base.
  2. A HR is still rare in baseball game. Twins' hitters have not been clutch. Advancing runners is still a critical part of baseball game.
  3. One thing I don't like about Rocco is that he's quite inactive during the game. Very few steals, very few pinch hitting, very few pitching matchups (chess game). A lot more needs to be done in the game. Play fundamental and smart baseball!
  4. Rotation: Berrios, Pineda, Odorizzi, Gibson, Smeltzer (Perez to IL) Bullpen: Rogers, Romo, Dyson (3 co-closers), Harper, Duffey, May, Thorpe, Dobnak/Graterol. Thorpe and Dobnak/Graterol could be long relievers. I don't think Duran and Alcala are ready. They will be hit hard.
  5. Early in the year, Houston had a few key players on injured list, Zack Greinke and Yordan Alvarez were not with the team, Houston is a much better team now. I don't think Twins have any chance to win in Houston against their top three starters nowadays.
  6. Well Schoop is the batter, he hardly comes through. 50% chance is a good estimate.
  7. I hope the FO watched this game and made the right decision for the team. Diaz should not be 3rd base coach.
  8. If he likes to gamble like that, he may become homeless soon.
  9. I would be very surprised if Diaz still has a job next season. He's worse than an amateur. His decisions absolutely make no sense in baseball games. He needs to apologize to the whole team especially Rogers.
  10. I think for next season Twins should try to sign Pineda and Odorizzi and let Perez and Gibson walk. Twins also need to get a few quality long relievers as well.
  11. Dobnak didn't give up, 6 hits in 4 innings not impressive either, he at least gave no free pass.
  12. It almost seems to me Twins hitters are all trying to hit homers every at bat. If it's all about hitting homers, I think Twins won this game.
  13. Dobnak needs a good curveball to be an effective starter in the major league.
  14. He used to give up half of inherited runs.
  15. This game feels like last game. Rocco brought in Duffey instead of Littell and quickly gave up two inherited runs.
  16. I would not trust Duffey with men on base. He always has a reputation to let inherited runners score.
  17. Indians showed stringing hits together is the way to win games. Twins hitters have been trying to hit it out every at bat.
  18. Duffey made sure all inherited runners would score.
  19. A singe could easily tie the game. Hand knows it.
  20. He made sure it's his mop up time with that pitch.
  21. Gibson should be pulled as soon as he allowed a base runner in the 5th. He clearly can't throw strikes or get hitters to chase balls.
  22. Bauer has not been good these days. Indians traded him at the right time.
  23. I doubt Littell even cares about inherited runners.
  24. For those who like Littell, this is what you get. I think Smeltzer and Thorpe are the real deal. Littell will not survive.
  25. Dobnak could be a part of next year's rotation if he performs well in the major league now. Graterol, Balazovic, Smeltzer, Thorpe, Dobnak and Jax all have a chance to be in next year's rotation. For now there are 4 open spots.
