    The three guys who got hits in the 10th were a combined 0-12 with 5 K's.

    BTW, nice little game for Cuddy.
  3. stringer bell
    Two big at-bats by young veterans. Dozier smacked a single to right a.d Plouffe showed his improvement with the game winner.
  4. stringer bell
    Bases loaded, nobody out--what could possibly go wrong?
  5. stringer bell
    Prediction: Brantley steals third base. One of the things that bother me about Burton is his inability to hold base runners.

    Two hours ago, before the "Parade of Relievers", this game was moving right along.

    Cleveland SS's mistake covers up Nuñez' baserunning bumble.
  8. stringer bell
    Is Thielbar still on the team?
  9. stringer bell
    "The Book" says that you don't put the lead run on base. But Cleveland is banking on getting Vargas out from his weak side.

    A nice thing about Hughes-pitched games is that they move right along.
  11. stringer bell
    If he ever makes a Home Run Derby, Arcia will have Bauer pitch to him.
  12. stringer bell
    Get well JB. Missed you when you were gone.

    I thought Cleveland caught a lot of breaks to make the postseason last year. I wasn't going to be surprised if they fell off markedly this year. Cleveland has put together another winning season, despite disappointing seasons from the likes of Steve Swisher, Jason Kipnis, Justin Masterson, and Asdrubal Cabrera. The latter two were traded, Swisher was disabled for the year, and the team has improved since. They've developed a very good pitching staff and have a few good players (Brantley, Gomes, Santana), plus I think Francona is a pretty good manager. I think Cleveland will continue to stay in and around contention for the foreseeable future. Given the attendance at a nice ballpark, the city doesn't deserve the team.

    Maybe Gardy has a little checkoff sheet he gives to the day's starting pitcher: 1) Select today's uniform. 2) Select your starting catcher.

    Pre-TJ, Pelfrey was an okay back-of-the-rotation starter. That could be the case again after he is fully healed from his most recent shoulder issue. Given the uncertainties of the projected rotation, it makes a lot of sense to keep him. If 5 guys are better, put him in the bullpen and maybe he finds a nice role there.

    Here's LEN3's explanation of the Twins DFAing Florimon. "The Twins were making room on their 40-man roster for offseason moves when the claim was made. Florimon gets to join the Nationals, who clinched the NL East title this week, for the rest of the regular season but is not eligible for postseason play." Ryan said that Florimon had fallen behind several middle infielders. Good for Pedro, he will have a fresh start with a good team. Good for the Twins, they cleared a spot on their 40-man roster.

    If we are discussing free agents, I have doubts that any of the top pitchers will either be courted by the Twins and if they were, that the Twins would be high on their list. I think that a lottery ticket on someone who has had success recently, not unlike the signing of Hughes this year. The Twins don't have a lot of players who would be considered prime trade candidates. Most of the bottom of the 40-man has little value. I suppose Plouffe has value and somebody like Pinto would be enticing for a team looking for a young catcher with offensive upside.
  18. stringer bell
    Agree. Tiger defense is leaky and they still need much help in the bullpen and they don't have a shortstop, either.
  19. stringer bell
    Hey, that was fun. Now beat the Indians. Honestly, if the Twins win the Cleveland series, it probably ends Cleveland's relevance.
  20. stringer bell
    Shhhh! The Tigers have had pretty good ninth innings in this series.
  21. stringer bell
    I second that emotion. I'll add this: The last three games against a probable playoff team showed me more than I remember from the last three Septembers combined.
  22. stringer bell
    30 steals for Schafer. How many would he get with 600 PAs (probably about the same since he would hit .150 instead of .300).
  23. stringer bell
    Now, who pitches the ninth? I'm afraid TD Faithful will be upset.
  24. stringer bell
    Pretty good comeback for Gibson. Four zeroes after a pair of deuces.
  25. stringer bell
    Hey, Miggy and Torii, Hicks and Parm have something to show you!
