    Two suspect strike threes in the inning. Then again I thought Sano could have been rung up a couple of times.

    Put me on the "keep Milone" list. He's got enough stuff and knows how to pitch. Keeping a lefty in the rotation is a plus.
  3. stringer bell
    Milone's ball. Glad there was no damage done.
  4. stringer bell
    Two hard-hit balls, two doubles. 1-0 KC. CBU.

    Agree with you MOY vote, Brian. Rangers have been a real good story. Bannister has done a terrific job and the club got healthy. Also agree on your Twins' roster assessment. Perhaps as soon as next year, the Twins will have two perennial All-Stars, but right now they have two half-season All-Stars who slumped miserably in the second half, and a sprinkling of good players. Overall, there are no real black holes, but few players that are really special.

    i did. I predicted exactly 85 wins. Of course, I was believing Hughes would beat the "every other year" jinx, ESantana would be a solid #2 all year, and that the offense would be fueled by DSantana, Arcia, and Vargas.
  7. stringer bell
    How about a six run first?
  8. stringer bell
    See the permutation thread. If the Twins are Option B, they would go to Option A (probably Houston) and, if they won, entertain the LAA of A.

    Also, when the Twins went to Toronto for a four-game series, the Twins had the better record. Minnesota is still in contention, but the Blue Jays have gone from nowhere to a candidate for the #1 seed.

    So the presumed three starters for the KC series are 8-6, 6-6 and 6-8. Sounds like .500 to me, but OTOH, they are the three I want starting for the team in this last crucial regular series.

    Brilliance or dumb luck? Molitor pushed all the right buttons in the late innings last night and I'm sure he would have been second-guessed had things gone differently. 1) Pinch-hitting Danny Santana. Santana is 0-10 as a pinch-hitter, but he did what he never does--take a walk. Molitor then had Santana running when Escobar got the ball past the third baseman and scored without a throw. 2) Pinch-running Eduardo Nuñez. Plouffe is slow, but has been a solid hitter. What if the game goes extra innings or Nuñez makes a misplay? Well, Nuñez scoots first to third on a single and scores on a wild pitch, his playing third has no consequence. 3) Bullpen usage. Molitor didn't send May out for the eighth in a tie game. Perkins gets the Tribe 1-2-3 and Jepsen sets down the middle of the order with only a bunt single as damage.

    The Twins finished with 37 road wins, both the Angels and the Astros are far worse on the road. Texas needs one win to clinch the AL West, so they are still playing for the playoffs. Arizona is playing well at the end of the year. They have won their last four games and stand at 78-81. The Snakes need to sweep the Astros series to finish .500. I'd be very satisfied if they win two of three.
  13. stringer bell
    One to catch, one to pass. If the Twins make the wild card, Texas will be the West Champion. Tied with LAA, trail Houston by a single game. If only the Mariners could have held that lead last night.
  14. stringer bell
    Much was made how the Twins handled the White Sox. Without a lot of hoopla, they handled the Tribe to the tune of 12-7. I believe they won five of the six series and completed the season series with a nice 3-1 in Cleveland.
  15. stringer bell
    Sure, who had a Santana walk leading to the tying run?
  16. stringer bell
    Need some line drives and some runs,
  17. stringer bell
    Great 3-2 bender.
  18. stringer bell
    Just like I said...ride him 'til he drops.
  19. stringer bell
    I don't think Duffey has much left. He's hung a few hooks, worked some long counts, but survived. The doubles weren't cheap and Kipnis' ball was probably out without the wind (Plouffe's too, maybe), but Molitor has to be ready to go to the 'pen early.
  20. stringer bell
    4-6-3. Yep!
  21. stringer bell
    Not exactly a great route Torii. While I know the wind moved that ball, if Hunter went to the right spot, he could catch that ball.
  22. stringer bell
    Oh well. Keep reaching until someone says stop.
  23. stringer bell
    How many times have they gone the first four innings and only scored a single run?
  24. stringer bell
    That worked well. How many times have the Twins gone four or more innings without scoring a run to start the game?
  25. stringer bell
    How many times have the Twins gone through the order at least once before getting a single hit?
