Are we all assuming that Marwin has/had more than an upset stomach? I suppose it makes sense to give him a day off if that is so. I think the team can survive for a few days without Marwin, but to place him on the Injured List means he won't be available until about September 8th. Going short with outfielders until Saturday and then returning both Wade and Astudillo might be the right call. They will still have Rosario, Kepler and Cave all healthy with Arraez and Adrianza available to fill in.

The addition of both Romo and Dyson really deepens the bullpen. The newfound competence of Duffey and May makes the whole 'pen look much better. -
Some interesting numbers. It looks like they've had some bad luck (26th in BABIP and a big disparity between ERA and FIP). With five guys getting some degree of trust (Dyson, May, Duffey, Romo and Rogers), they should be able to hold leads and not be overworked.

I would like to see a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth inning please.

Eddie broke even...a bullet for an out and a blooper for an RBI single.

Dyson before Duffey, but Dyson got the heart of the order and Duffey gets the bottom.

Regarding Pineda, he's been limited in pitches all year. Maybe that's enough of a break for him.

I've seen enough of Giolito.
-
How about a run-scoring hit, Eddie?
-
Just saw that announcement on mlb Trade Rumors. Two Twins have had their brother make "the show"--Cron and Rogers--kinda cool!

As a matter of fact, he does. Lefthanded batters have a .526 OPS, while righties come in at .735. Also, Giolito has been much more effective on the road than at home. Finally, he pitches better in day games than night games. We have a righty heavy lineup facing Giolito in Chicago, at night and SQUIRREL will be there. The game is in the bag!

The Twins have 39 on their 40-man, so they can get one "free add" before DFAing or putting someone on the 60-day list.

There was speculation that Ian Miller, who is not on the 40-man roster was acquired last month for the purpose of being a pinch-runner and possible defensive replacement. Another player with a similar projection would be Ryan O'Rourke as a lefty specialist out of the bullpen.

No game today and my golf got rained out, so I took a few minutes to check on platoon splits for the Twins. Probably the biggest surprise is the reverse split for Jake Cave (SSS). Also, my recollection was that Cron and Schoop came to the Twins with negligible splits and both have rather decided splits as lefty killers this year. Switch hitters--Adrianza and Gonzalez have been better against LH pitching, while Polanco has excelled against right handers. Each player will be listed with OPS vs. LH pitcher(L), then RH pitcher ®, and finally combined (T). Adrianza L-.908 R-.770 T-.802 Arraez L-.717 R-.879 T-.836 Astudillo L-.678 R-.669 T-.665 Buxton L-.924 R-.798 T-.827 Castro L-.432 R-.866 T-.799 Cave L-1.085 R-.775 T-.838 Cron L-1.023 R-.711 T-.798 Cruz L-1.158 R-.983 T-1.027 Garver L-1.103 R-.841 T-.934 Gonzalez L-.816 R-.705 T-.736 Kepler L-.864 R-.870 T-.868 Polanco L-.685 R-.914 T-.845 Rosario L-.813 R-.824 T-.822 Sanó L-.966 R-.905 T-.923 Schoop L-.934 R-.714 T-.769

"Winning Pitcher" Ian Kennedy. Edit: Ninja'd by Ashbury!
-
Bremer is discussing that their lead increased on this homestand. True, but the bigger news is that there are fewer and fewer games for Cleveland to make up their deficit. Especially true of this weekend--both the Twins and Cleveland played bad teams at home, both won two of three and there are now three less games for the Tribe to make up games in the standings.

Win!
-
Doggone. Let's get these two outs!
-
Good seventh for Stashak, does he go out for the 8th?
-
Nice Schoop! 7 runs on just four hits!
-
I'm guessing Duffey, then May out of the bullpen starting next inning.
-
OK. Get three more outs, Pérez!. I like the Twins' chances if they are up three after 6.
