    Not exactly an easy inning, but Gray put up a zero.
  2. stringer bell
    Two teams in playoff contention each missing a bunch of their regulars. Sox are missing Anderson, Moncada, Robert and Jimenez. The Twins are without Buxton and Polanco, among others.
  3. stringer bell
    Need to get the two runners in.
  4. stringer bell
    Cease and Giolito for the rest of the weekend, so it is important to win tonight.
  5. stringer bell
    Okay. Thank you Richie.

    Bailey Ober started his rehab tonight in Fort Myers. Three innings, 42 pitches, one run on a homer.

    They still have a roster spot with an absolutely disposable position player (Hamilton--unlikely to stay on the 40-man after this season) so if they want someone else that can hit, they could certainly bring them up and designate Hamilton.

    The extra-man moves were about what I would expect. With several big leaguers expected to return this month, some guys on the active roster might be DFAed or optioned. Last reports I have are Winder and Sands along with Dobnak are pitching at St. Paul. Ober is supposed to be ready for his rehab assignment in the coming days. Jeffers and Larnach are supposed to be playing at Fort Myers this week. Buxton should be back too.

    I was wrong about Nick Gordon. I didn’t think he would ever hit enough to be even a utility player. He has done that and more. On the other hand, Nick isn’t really a shortstop. When Correa was on the Injured List, someone else took over shortstop duties.
  10. stringer bell
    Does Davis have an option? I presume they will DFA Sanchez when Mahle is activated.
  11. stringer bell
    I saw Elton twice in St. Paul. Halloween (1974?) with young Elton and in the Face-to-Face tour with Billy Joel (much more mature Elton) in about 2006.
  12. stringer bell
    Looks like we’ll see Jax in the eighth.
  13. stringer bell
    I think 22 wins will be the minimum and the Twins will need to win at least five from Cleveland.

    His hitting is beyond poor, but he can run and play defense. As a fourteenth position player in September he could steal a game or two for the Twins. As a thirteenth position player in the unlikely event the Twins make postseason, he could impact a game positively for the Twins.

    As of today the Twins are two games behind Cleveland and three ahead of Chicago. Their prospects for making the playoffs as a Wild Card are pretty small. They trail the three teams in line for Wild Card slots by more than they trail the Guardians. The Twins play Chicago nine times and Cleveland eight times in the balance of the schedule. They would appear to control their own destiny. I believe the Twins will need to win 22 to 24 games of their remaining 36 and they need to win a majority against both the White Sox and the Guardians. I think it is a tall order, but it is doable. Here's my take on the roster--additions on September 1. Mahle (technically 9/2 or 9/3) and probably Billy Hamilton. 40-man space could be created by DFAs to Caleb Hamilton and/or Mark Contreras. I'm hoping the Twins can add back some of Buxton, Jeffers, Larnach, Ober, Maeda and Dobnak.

    Really sloooooooooow game.
  17. stringer bell
    Kind of a cheap run allowed.
  18. stringer bell
    So far, an inning and a half in, there have been four hits and none was anything close to hard-hit.
  19. stringer bell
    Yep, both struggling. Time for those guys to break out.
  20. stringer bell
    The Twins had a starting pitcher from the Dominican with the first name of Michael.
  21. stringer bell
    So a quick glance shows that the Twins have a higher OBP and higher slugging than SF and guess what? The Giants have scored a few more runs than the Twins. Whatever it is, bad base running, poor hitting with RISP inability to make productive outs, the Twins are not scoring as many runs as their hitting stats would predict.
  22. stringer bell
    WTG.
  23. stringer bell
    Usually it's the Twins that don't post a lineup 'til the last minute. SF is less than 90 minutes from first pitch and still hasn't posted their lineup today.
  24. stringer bell
    Questionable strategy for #3 hitter to bunt with two outs and Miranda on deck. Miranda hasn't been hitting as well the last week to ten days.
  25. stringer bell
    Kulpa has missed too many calls for a veteran HP ump.
