    You really think it was intentional? Their ace throwing at a player up 13-1 in a deciding game on a 1-2 count? He immediately looked apologetic and even flinched as it tailed inside. Maybe it's just being me being a neutral fan....but I would be shocked if he was suspended.
  2. SwainZag
    Maybe they figured he had warmed up, he was going to start and they want to keep him on regular rest for his 1st start? Will be interesting to see.
  3. SwainZag
    9-0 and only 1 out in the 1st! I probably let him go 1 inning and then run some sort of a bullpen game using your lesser relievers. Treat today as a bullpen for Flaherty and save him for Game 2 of the NLCS.

    The difference is the Rays put up some runs. The lit up sought after ace Grienke for 6 ER in less than 4 innings. The Twins routinely put their-selves in position to score runs, especially in Game 3 and couldn't find the hits...and they have a much better lineup than Tampa. 1/12 with runners in RISP in Game 3 and 3/27 for the series. Blame Rocco for pitching decisions. Blame Kepler, Garver, Arraez for not being 100%.....either way, you aren't going to beat the Yankees scoring 7 runs in 3 games, period.

    Sometimes the hits just don't fall. Look at Game 3. Torres's HR cleared the wall by about 2 feet. Eddie missed a HR by about as much, and Marwin needed the about the same to tie the game. If Sano's line drive blast late is 6 inches higher it gets over Judge's head and Twins score. Game of inches sometimes.
  6. SwainZag
    If you want someone in the system replacing Cron, Rooker probably is the more likely option. He put up a .933 OPS in AAA last year. Kiriloff's OPS against AA pitching was lower than what Cron did at the major league level.
  7. SwainZag
    Why wouldn't the Twins just trade prospects? What's the use of trading Buxton AND prospects, when they could just do it with prospects and keep Buxton?

    Yankees playing nearly at full strength after being injured all year long. After being relatively healthy all year long, the Twins had the injuries hit them pretty hard in September. I imagine this would be a whole different series if Buck and Big Mike were on the roster and Kepler/Marwin/Garver were all closer to full health as well.

    You can get beat and be ashamed of yourself and hide in the corner......or you can get beat, get back up defend your pride and live to see another day. You have a guy who was a top 10 pick who got a $2.65M signing bonus at 18 taking a cheap shot at a guy who worked his butt off to get to the same professional level after going drafted. Good for Randy.

    Awfully disappointing ending to the season.... but by far the most fun season in a long time. That being said, it's going to be a long offseason.
  11. SwainZag
    It was Eddie.
  12. SwainZag
    A handful of AB's against Tanaka shouldn't be taken over what Arraez has done against right handed pitching all year long. Give the kid a chance to atone for the mistakes he made yesterday.
  13. SwainZag
    Checking in! Oktoberfest in hand! Wish I was at a Brothers with the clan. Too bad thet couldn't take advantage of the error, but good start!
  14. SwainZag
    Rocco possibly oversee a shorter outing for Paxton? Thought process it might be only 1 AB for Arraez hitting against him in the 9 hole and saving Schoop for a pinch hitting situation later in the game?
  15. SwainZag
    Realistically when are Cave, Adrianza going to be in the game? If Schoop is playing that means a left handed starter was on the mound, which means Arraez is probably on the bench, and if Castro is in playing that means you have Garver on the bench as well. Arraez and Garver would get pinch hit opportunities in my book before Astudillo. That leaves Cron. I guess I would rather have the emergency 12th pitcher on the roster in case of an unforseeable situation than possibly have 1 possibility where Astudillo would get an AB.....especially considering 2 of our starters probably will go 6 innings an absolute max.
  16. SwainZag
    Who are you going to pitch if it's 7-7 after 2 innings and Berrios is out of the game? You need to have a couple long men just in case. Or if Game 1 goes to 17 innings. Which player on the roster would you pinch hit Astudillo for in the 9th inning of a playoff game?
  17. SwainZag
    I want to see them get on the board 1st.Give Jose a little room to breathe and work his stuff.I hope they come in relaxed.They have faced adversity time and time and time again all season long and think they should be well prepared for this one.] There isn't much postseason experience or success looking up and down this Yankee roster.It's not a team loaded with Hall of Fame players from the teams that whipped the Twins 10-15 years ago. Go get um boys!
  18. SwainZag
    Not only that but the entire Brewer's team and fanbase. I can't imagine if say....Rosario made that same blunder. Yikes. Either way, good for the Nats. They fought to the end and beat a damn good one in Hader, even with his down year, to move on.
  19. SwainZag
    Before I read the entire post....... Offer Odorizzi a QO, when he declines, offer a 3 year deal, 50M Offer Pineda a QO. A lot of risk in a multi year deal... Offer Gibby a 2 year, 20M deal. Offer Romo, 1 year, 3M Offer Dyson, 2 year, 2M - 5M offer. He's going to miss the year, let him rehab and spend a year with the staff. I was on the fence on Cron, but I turn down the arby. Wouldn't surprised to see Rooker or Astudillo take that spot on the roster. You gotta go for on the top arms on the market. I have a sheepish feeling the FO will surprise us and acquire a SP thru a trade this winter though.

    Can you find Buck?
  21. SwainZag
    So proud of these guys. So much angst of what could have done better, who else we should have gotten, etc.........that this is going to be the best team win wise in over a half a century. Whether or not we realize it now, this is something special. Teams don't win 98+ games often. We are in for a ride.

    Man, as much as I/we like to dog on Eddie, he is so damn charismatic. So much energy, so much fun when things are going his way. Teams need guys like him when he has a cast like the Twins do. Also. Dobnak. I love this kid. 2019 Division Champs. First goal. Let's go.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Missed tonight, saw the message after dinner the Indians lost. What began as a fun #bomba laden season has taken the next step.
