  1. Well, a night of regression for Sano. He has his ups and downs, I guess.
  2. I got really scared when people on the board started saying, "You've got to be kidding..." This is one of the rare nights that I have to follow on the game tracker rather than TV and I thought Puig did something very bad there. Glad to see Romo get out of the inning.
  3. Speaking of records this season: What is the record for most road wins in a season? We can't be that far off from that record.
  4. One thing is for certain: This series was no fluke! Boston desperately needed to have a blockbuster series and we may have put a fork in them for this season! This was do or die for Boston and we beat them! I love beating those East Coast teams! I have always had great respect and admiration for the Orioles but I do not like the Yankees and Red Sox one bit!
  5. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! And now I will proceed to watch the last play of the game at least 12 more times before I sleep! Good night all! GREAT ROAD TRIP! We have a chance to finish Cleveland! DO IT!
  6. Arraez is one of the most valuable players on our team, in my opinion.
  7. If Cleveland would have lost that, it would have been the epic meltdown of the year.
  8. The closer is actually one of the few things in baseball that I wouldn't mind going away. I always thought it made no sense to bring a guy in that does not match up well with the lineup simply because it was the ninth inning.
  9. Brad Hand has had quite the second half, hasn't he?
  10. In light of tonight, last night's win was the WIN OF THE YEAR! I don't feel real good about tonight or tomorrow.
  11. If anything, this article makes me more impressed with Walter Johnson. Throwing 88 to 90 mph for 170 pitches per game every third game is a whole lot more impressive than the throwers of today.
  12. I mean is it going to get to the point in baseball where we have 7 man rotations? What is going on? You can't tell me Walter Johnson wasn't bringing the heat. Those rotations of the past were three or four man rotations and they still played around 150 games a year. Shouldn't, with all these technological advancements, pitchers be getting stronger?
  13. Maybe this is the real Berrios as opposed to him being tired. After all, there's been more than a few pitchers in baseball history that have had flashes of brilliance and then turn out to be a disappointment. I don't understand why a couple decent seasons turns a pitcher into the face of the franchise. When has that ever been the case?
  14. I personally think that the ace moniker that was put on Berrios REALLY early on in his career has been a disservice to him. Despite what some people may think, Berrios has not proven himself, maybe he will, but not in this stage in his career.
  15. Nevertheless, if we can win the division this year and hopefully win 100 games, this season would be a huge stepping stone to an eventual world championship-whether it be this year or next.
  16. That's what I thought going into the 2006 ALDS against the Oakland A's. Instead we played terribly the first two games at home. I think we split the first two games in Houston. We are an elite team on the road.
  17. I kind of hope the Twins finish the third seed because we play so much better on the road.
  18. Wouldn't it be great if Cleveland would lose the wild cards to Oakland and Tampa Bay? I would absolutely love to see it. I like both Oakland and Tampa Bay, have great respect for both teams. It sure would be a wonderful ending to this year and it's very possible because when a team goes on a tear as Cleveland had done in July and August, you know what they say: What goes up must come down. I think the way the Twins have stayed on an even keel has actually helped them. There haven't been major winning streaks but there also have not been bad losing streaks. I think this is a more successful model then to have a stretch of amazing baseball as Cleveland seems to be tiring from that streak.
  19. How I wish Dobnak's first name was Nick. Just think of it! Nick Nak Paddywhack hit the ball to Cron!
  20. And a big thank you goes out to whoever scouted Luis Arraez. Boy, he's going to be a special player for us!
  21. Whoever lit the match in Schoop's shoes, I would like to say THANK YOU!
  22. Not a disaster though. Better than the last 4 or 5 starts.
  23. Is it really asking for too much to have a pitcher go 6 measly innings? Really!
