  1. The way the ALDS schedule sets up, you play back to back games on the 4th and 5th - then an off day. Then back at it on the 7th. If the Twins were really considering a bullpen game, you could set yourself up for one in Game 2, and have the off day to get everyone rested. Obviously, this means Game 1 would have to go about as well as it possibly could with having to use limited bullpen arms. These conversations are fun - I just hope we aren't jinxing it.
  2. Strikeout numbers are good, HR numbers are bad. Very bad. 16 HR allowed in not even 60 innings pitched...? Yikes. I know 10 of them have come at Coors, but still.
  3. For some guys, sure. It is all relative. I especially liked the idea of sinker ballers sinking more when they were pitching on shorter rest (would hear this often when guys like Blackburn, SIlva, etc.) were heeling the rubber.
  4. IALTO.
  5. I would agree. So, who is going to be this off-season's Odorizzi?
  6. No surprise that Kepler isn't playing - he looked in some pain on Saturday during the end of that 2nd game.
  7. Sounds like Marwin might be back tonight...? Need another good start out of Berrios.
  8. If that is your opening day rotation in 2020, yikes.
  9. At this point in the season, the Twins have plenty of guys to fill in and handle the mop up innings. That title isn't and shouldn't be exclusive to Stewart.
  10. Because Kohl Stewart is no good...?
  11. Kepler Polanco Cruz Rosario (why?) Garver Arraez Sano Astudillo Schoop Why is Rosario still batting 4th?
  12. How is it NOT up to the player? If the player says they are feeling good and good to go, they should be in the lineup/on the field.
  13. LaMarre has absolutely no future with this team. None. Kiriloff does - he is a more talented player than LaMarre, and is more likely to make an "impact" over the course of the next couple weeks. He will also get AB's and experience in an extremely valuable playing environment. This move just makes zero sense.
  14. Agreed - Saturday is very likely going to be an L with Clevinger on the mound.
  15. The fact that Ryan LaMarre is getting meaningful AB's in a pennant race instead of Kiriloff is all the proof I need that this organization/front office still doesn't get it.
  16. I really couldn't care less if the Twins hit another "bomba" as long as they win more games. This whole bomba thing has run its course, IMO. Win some damn ballgames and then talk to me.
  17. Oh, and Kohl Stewart has no place pitching in a MLB game that isn't an absolute blow out. Last night's game was not that, so why he was used is absolutely unacceptable by Baldelli and his staff. The guy isn't a major league pitcher, and should be outrighted as soon as possible.
  18. Tonight or Sunday are the only games in this series that the Twins have a chance at winning. They face Clevinger on Saturday, who absolutely dominates the Twins. That will be an L.
  19. If resting players is such a brilliant decision, how does someone like Adrianza get injured when he plays so sparingly and has essentially been resting 5-6 times a week? I understand the flukey-ness of injuries, to a certain extent, but it just goes to show that resting players doesn't necessarily mean guys will be more fresh and less likely to get injured.
  20. Correct - those are your only options at this point, if Cave is even available. Throw Wade in the leadoff spot and hope he can coax a couple walks per game.
