  1. Come on man, it is a bit...I think negatively, with the hope of something positive happening. Like, when I said the Twins wouldn't beat Clevinger in the DH'er a few weeks back.
  2. This game will be 100% dictated by what Berrios the Twins get tonight. May he be filthy, nasty, composed, and downright bad ass. Go Twins!
  3. The personnel is spot on, I think...but I think Garver leads off.
  4. Good, informative article...but I am skeptic to get too excited about Minnesota having any advantage over the Yankees. Berrios's numbers are a bit skewed too, and Paxton has been damn good in September. SSS, but still. Maybe it is the previous heartbreak that I have endured when watching the Twins play the Yankees, but I am just not too confident at this point.
  5. In regards to Royce Lewis: let the damn kids play.
  6. IMO, a pretty important start for Berrios...if for anything, his own self confidence. And any update or word on Odorizzi?
  7. A fun, related topic - what has been the best Twins bullpen in the last 20 years...? Could this one be in the conversation? 2002 was pretty good, but had a couple smoke and mirror guys in there like Fiore & Jackson. 2004 was good with Nathan, Rincon, and Romero. 2006 was solid, as was 2010.
  8. If Smeltzer is Milone, can we really argue with that?
  9. I love your responses - you take them so personal. Gibson isn't being put on the roster over Stashak, and Perez & Thorpe aren't sure things either. In fact, Thorpe over Stashak would be a total mistake. Thorpe has only pitched 4 or more innings once over the last few months, so it isn't like he is able to give you a ton of innings either. Plus, he has been pretty bad in September. Oh, and he isn't good against LHH either, which is where you could theoretically find a role for him. Stashak isn't being left off the playoff roster. If you want to place a wager on this, send me a message.
  10. 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.
  11. Gibson and Perez should be nowhere near the playoff roster. Their most recent starts were absolute disasters, against terrible teams.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Just checked MLB - it was a fastball. If I knew how to share the image, I would. It just looked like a curve ball.
  18. 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.
