    A pitching coach is expected to know his stuff of course, but part of the job is to laugh at his pitchers' jokes when they're not so good, and listen to their troubles when they're not so bad. We can judge by hardly any other criterion than results, and the results are there this year, so apparently he's keeping everyone on an even keel. If he gets the blame for a few arms that aren't so good, then he gets credit for the arms that aren't so bad.

    Hope he's okay after that collision.

    I'm not allergic to giving players one-game pressure. The post-season, should the team get there, is all about that kind of pressure. (For that reason, some of the logic* used to defend getting guys like Gary Sanchez, where getting him out of Yankee Stadium will turn his career around, has always seemed short--sighted. Great, we're in the post-season, now we head to... Yankee Stadium.) A right handed hitter like Garlick, on the short side of the platoon, had better have a microwave mentality and be ready to heat up instantly. *expressed by fans, not necessarily the FO

    FO reads TD and has been listening to you, and is giving Kyle his chance!

    We've already taken 2; today will be "of 4." 😀

    So, Why Didn't the Twins Unlock Yennier Cano's Talent? I guess the world will never know.

    Larnach. It's Larnachs all the way down.

    He threw only 90 pitches. The opponent's starter threw 95. The team whose starter throws the most pitches usually wins. Therefore: Leave him in! 😀

    Reminiscent of the 1913 Miracle Braves.

    "And f you remember, 2018, the Twins set the all-time record for home runs."

    Throws =/= Pitches

    Royce!

    27 IBB, 27 pickoffs = no-hitter. Dream big.

    The automatic intentional BB they allow now makes it theoretically possible to do it in zero pitches. The ghost runner on second during extra innings also invites the potential for fewer pitches than outs.

    I disconcur with my own unconcurrence of your concurrence in this important matter.

    On behalf of Rocco, Apology Accepted. 😀
  18. ashbury
    Will he see anything but breaking pitches in his first at bat?
  19. ashbury
    Those who accuse Rocco of having no guts are invited to apologize now.

    ... fortunate.

    Betteridge's law of headlines, in action yet again. Which means the answer can be inferred, without further reading, to be "No."

    Nor Gwynn. There was a chap named Carew, though.

    This is really quite amazing. He has been brought in 7 times with runners on, and has given up literally 0 hits in those appearances. He's walked a few (one each in 4 of the games). He has stayed in the game to begin another inning several times, so his total is 8 innings of no-hit work. Which makes his other appearances just all the more baffling. An OPS-against of close to .000 when brought in to bail someone out; closer to .800 (corresponding to an ERA above 5, usually) in other appearances, if my back-of-the envelope math checks out. Amazing, weird, or just a fluke of an up-and-down young pitcher?

    Out of five games, Holland gets pitcher of the day for a solitary 1-2-3 inning? I'm not going to pore through the box scores nor second guess this choice, merely offer this reaction: oof, bad day at the office for the Pitching Pipeline ™ 😀
