Middle innings, time for a big inning.
-
Astudillo and Castro for Gonzalez and Garver is quite a step down.

Gonzalez scratched with "oblique tightness". Turtle at first base. This worries me.

Earlier in this thread, I expressed my doubts about Graterol making the postseason roster and deserving a slot. Less than a week later, I will say I'm in on Brusdar. This is mostly because of the ineffectiveness of starters Gibson and Pérez, but yesterday's inning from Graterol also showed what he can bring to the table. I will let true pitching gurus decide what his future will be, but there are plenty of starting slots available for next year.

Huh? Cleveland and Tampa Bay have identical records, so if the season ended today, they would have a one-game play-in game to play Oakland. The Twins magic number to clinch a wild card is identical to their magic number to clinch the division--3.
-
Pérez needs a good game. It would be nice to reduce the magic number again today.
-
Does it make sense to keep Rogers in for however many more pitches? Who do you propose should have come in down two in the ninth and a runner on second? Hildenberger has hardly pitched since he was recalled, he did finish well at Rochester, it was a chance to see if he had found something. The Twins need four more wins in seven games (assuming that Cleveland won't lose again) against two likely 100 loss teams. Every team has innings like this. It's never a great time for such an inning, but with a magic number of 4 with seven games to go, I think there should be no long-term damage.
-
Marwin should have had that.
-
Bring in Alacala!
-
Jared Hughes.
-
Couldn't get a win for Berríos or Duffey, maybe Romo?
-
Struck out the side.
-
Brad Hand pitching for Cleveland--in the sixth inning.
-
You're right of course. His second half has been poor however. His OPS since the All-Star break is .600 and he's hitting below the Mendoza line--.193.
-
Last batter for Berríos.
-
Shut 'em down Jose!
-
Harper of the Phillies with a pretty impressive at-bat. Phillies 5-4! Only the fifth.
-
Nice start to the fifth. Wade's ball probably should have been caught, but Wade busted it out of the box.
-
Nice to see velo of 95 from Berríos.
-
Time for an infrequent Castro hit.
-
Get that tying run in!
-
I don't know if Arraez will hit .340 in a season, but I don't think he'll ever have a really long slump.
-
Something like that!
-
I'd like to see the bottom two start a big inning, please. Thank you!
