    2020 was difficult on most us, including players. We put a lot of stock in Donaldson, when he`s not available, we have a gaping hole. Unfortunately he was laid up before & during the wild card series. We are a confident team especially defensively that seeps into the offensive. We are a different team w/ him, it`s too bad we are so dependent on him when his health is questionable. I expect some players will be let go or traded justly & unjustly so

    Yes I question all those calls also. HOU piggy- backed Zeinke w/ Valdez even when Zeinke seemed to have settled down. I`d have left him in longer but piggy-backing made perfect sense. Baldelli should have done the same, Hill would have been great in this situation while at the same time saving our BP. I didn`t understand this series roster. I believe Baldelli thought he could waltz through this series & finesse his way. I`m a fan of Astudillo but he hasn`t been given a chance during the season to find his groove & work out the bugs, putting him in a situation of PHing during a wildcard game was unfair, he`s not a veteran.

    Some teams & players are confident in PS, they come alive at PS. Others play like they have a monkey on their backs (everything goes wrong)& I think fans have a lot to do w/ it. I liked to follow the game thread to really get in the game. Some posts are very positive, informative & even funny but others are negative & even toxic so I decided to no longer follow the game threads even during the PS

    that ball was way outside to be a strike!!!!!!!!!!!

    I expect CLE/ NYY to be a good game too

    Come on Nellie do it again

    Valdez is having more difficulty w/ this ump than Zeinke. The ump has been pretty fair overall

    CWS up 3-0

    Got thru it!

    Love Eddie`s patience!

    I was surprised about Kiriloff addition & Hill & Alcala being left off also

    Before we signed Donaldson, the big talk was trading for an ace & the topic of Jeffers or Rortvedt should be used as trade bait (especially Jeffers). Their reasoning was that we had Garver & they were not needed. My argument was that they were our near future & Garver as great we think he is, catching is a demanding position so we need a good back to relieve him (Garver could be used to sub at 1B to keep his bat in the line up). How quickly Jeffers has progressed & Garver`s recent slump & injury has driven this point more relevant. I`m still high on Garver but he if he can`t turn it around quickly Jeffers should be our priority. If Garver can be close to Jeffers, I`m afraid Garver will take the 1st seat into the post season.

    He is a beloved manager at MN & DET. His great patience & eye has greatly prepared DET for the next stage. Bless you Gardy! Wish you well but not the Tigers

    As far as offense goes it`s either feast or famine, wish they could maintain a steady flow.

    IMO Dobnak deserves to be on the PS roster
  16. Doctor Gast
    Like you said, Dobnak isn`t going to blow away the competion, he`s just very good ground ball pitcher. He`s only as good as the INF that backs him if they can his service could be valuable. He`s a rookie so we can`t expect him to pitch on short rest or be perfect every outing. You got to love his attitude, does everything that he`s told w/ determination & w/o complaining
  17. Doctor Gast
    It`s great to see prospects Dobnak, Arrais, Smeltzer, Alcala, Jeffers, Rooker & Blankenhorn come up & have success. The first 3 came out of no where, the next 4 advanced sooner than expected. That leaves our top 5 prospects which have greater upside that haven`t been given the opportunity yet. That leaves us w/ great anticipation especially in present & future areas of need mid-fielder platoon & pitching
  18. Doctor Gast
    I predict that the Twins will take #1 seed. The Twins are starting to gel w/ their hitting as well as their pitching. As much as I`d like that NYY & Hou not make the play-offs I believe they`ll make a final push which will bogg down both TB & Oak. The Twins will continue to improve & go on a tear.
  19. Doctor Gast
    I don`t understand why they used Rogers last nite in a non save & today in a save situation they bring out Romo. IMO that`s playing w/ fire
  20. Doctor Gast
    Rooker should have been called up sooner when Buck was hurt, to help offset LHPs that were thrown at us. He has a great future as a Twin being RH (in a sea of great LH hitting OF on & off the roster) to platoon w/ Rosario & Kepler
  21. Doctor Gast
    Astudillo missed the training & a lot of time, it should be expected for him to be rusty. Many teams don`t have a decent back up catcher, Astudillo is our #4 catcher. We are very fortunate to have him as a #4 utility catcher plus his great hitting & the spark he adds to the team. It`s too bad about Rooker, he has proven himself
  22. Doctor Gast
    I second that motion. He can play everyday & get valuable experience. He so needed not only as every day at 2B plus also sub Polanco & Buck
  23. Doctor Gast
    I know the Yankees have injuries & players are slumping but I also think the Yanks were relying also on cheating much like Houston. They have to get used to playing a clean game. Hope also they don`t make the play offs
  24. Doctor Gast
    I knew Maeda was going to help the Twins, he exceeded my my expectations. Great game
  25. Doctor Gast
    The thing that made the most sense on implementing in this fearful season was the robo umps. #1 was that it kept distance between older umps & players #2 it eliminated human error. But it was not accepted, why not?
