    Lance Lynn, baby.

    At this point, there is no way the Twins can leave Stashak off the postseason roster. Omitting him from that was either an oversight, or something else. One of, if not both, Gibson and Perez will be left off. I am thinking Perez makes it, just as a 2nd lefty option in the pen.
  3. SpicyGarvSauce
    Gibson and Perez should be nowhere near the playoff roster. Their most recent starts were absolute disasters, against terrible teams.
  4. SpicyGarvSauce
    Yeah, but would you take the Twins chances against the Yankee lineup? I think that is the bigger (more important) question...
  5. SpicyGarvSauce
    No chance, considering Arraez has rarely played third and the Twins have been more likely to play Astudillo and Marwin at first instead of Sano.
  6. SpicyGarvSauce
    What is a homer? They're Bombas around here, pal.
  7. SpicyGarvSauce
    They'll sign Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte to pitch against the Twins, considering those guys owned the Twins in their careers.
  8. SpicyGarvSauce
    So Lewis has yet to start a game in the AFL at SS....hmmm.....
  9. SpicyGarvSauce
    The Twins don't steal bases, so that takes a bit of the lust away from Miller. Wade has at least shown the capability of having quality ABs, albeit SSS.

    As a human being, Gibson is awesome. Really, a terrific guy. In the current state of his pitching/baseball career, he is bad. Watching him struggle against one of THE worst teams in baseball, just inexcusable at this point. However, I blame some of this on Baldelli and the management for allowing Gibson to pitch in a meaningful game, given what he has/is dealing with physically. All things considered, Gibson pitching last night was pure negligence by Baldelli and his staff. I am a fan, for the most part, of Baldelli and what he has shown as a manager, but it is decisions like these that make me shake my head. Slide Smeltzer or Thorpe into Gibson's spot in the rotation, and go from there. Gibson shouldn't be on the playoff roster either at this point.

    That was a frustrating game/series IMO - offense was stagnant, which was a bit frustrating. As well as what seemed to be every White Sox leadoff hitter getting on base in every darn inning. Also - if not for the White Sox ineptitude in that 2nd game, the Twins lose 2 of 3 instead of winning 2 of 3.
  12. SpicyGarvSauce
    Yarnivek did the work for me - the Twins don't need to do that deal, right now, given how cheap he will be for the foreseeable future. They can revisit it down the road in a couple of years if he sustains the success, but at this point, you do not give a guy $5 million AAV that has less than 300 career ABs. Just foolish.
  13. SpicyGarvSauce
    Just checked MLB - it was a fastball. If I knew how to share the image, I would. It just looked like a curve ball.
  14. SpicyGarvSauce
    Why not? Romero at least has stuff that can get a K when needed and be successful. The book is out on Harper. Lay off the breaking pitch, and sit on his fastball and absolutely crush it - which is what the guy did.
  15. SpicyGarvSauce
    Right - but you don't offer that kind of contract to a guy with under 300 career ABs at the ML level. Let's let this thing ride out a little more before we start shelling out more money than is even necessary at this point.
  16. SpicyGarvSauce
    Why?
  17. SpicyGarvSauce
    Someone like Romero could really help the 2020 bullpen if he figures it out. I do agree with the post above that the Twins need another left handed arm in the pen to go along with Rogers.
  18. SpicyGarvSauce
    Like Chief said, ride the wave. Perhaps a move to the OF would make sense if the Twins opt to keep him and they don't view him as an adequate enough 2B?

  20. SpicyGarvSauce
    A win is a win, but the ineptitude of the White Sox really got Rocco off the hook last night - why is Harper being used in high leverage situations at all? It made no sense to bring him in when you had a rested Graterol or Romero. I assume he is saving Dobnak, Smeltzer, and Thorpe for the weekend but come on - using Harper in that situation was a bone headed move. Having Odo go 7 tonight would be huge, but unexpected. Twins have struggled against Nova too, so maybe tonight is the night they bust out.
  21. SpicyGarvSauce
    Right. A lot of times the base runner, in that situation, isn't stealing off of the catcher. Rather, a number of other factors (such as the fielders positioning, etc.).
  22. SpicyGarvSauce
    What relationship is that?
  23. SpicyGarvSauce
    Holy man - like, wow.
  24. SpicyGarvSauce
    Pavano, Liriano, & Duensing. Those are the 3 starting pitchers the Twins used in their last appearance in the postseason. Are Berrios, Odo, and __________ a better trio?
  25. SpicyGarvSauce
    Unbelievable. Good one.
