  1. James McCann! 3 run HR for the Sox off of Carrasco to tie it at 5.
  2. Boooo! Hiss!! Big 3 run HR by Perez the difference maker
  3. I least give him some credit. He blew that past JD.
  4. Can't lose sleep on a HR from a guy like Devers, kid is a helleva player
  5. Pretty sure that was a slider....and really wasn't an awful pitch.
  6. Chi-Sox tie up the Indians. 2-2 Top 7
  7. They both get talked about a lot on the baseball sub on Reddit. For those who don't know. TOOTBLAN is Thrown Out On The Basepaths Like A Nincompoop and FARTSLAM is Fielder Allows Runner To Score Like A Moron
  8. I mean...hopefully almost everyone. Wonder who's next or if Thorpe will keep on going
  9. Going with a real bullpen game today? They have enough pitchers to do so I guess.
  10. I really think that Pineda and Odo are going to be at least looking for 3 year deals in FA. Odo at 2/20 is ridiculously low, IMO.
  11. What exactly did the Twins do? Move him to the bullpen? I don't get the blaming the team. Did Romero forget his control because he is coming out of the pen? A good pitcher will be able to get hitters out either way.
  12. Easy to say in hindsight. There was plenty of talk to trade Polonco, Kepler, Berrios, Buxton etc... 2-3-4 years ago too. It's easy to point out the guys that flamed out and ignore the ones who kept getting better.
  13. Apparently just a rest day for Kepler, which is odd coming after an off day and he has success against Giolito. 6/16 lifetime against him.
  14. This is a topic for a different thread, let's keep this one on Buxton's health.
  15. They have no reason to push him. Any pain or discomfort, get him out of there.
  16. That's called return on investment, kids.
  17. He is certainly quicker than Sano or Cron though. You are really leaving Sano at 2nd with less than 2 outs as the go ahead run in the 9th? That makes no sense, go for the W.
  18. You don't need to fake any injuries. Anyone on the 40 man roster can be part of the playoff roster. Adrianza can play all over the field and take this situation into account. 9th inning, tie game, 1 out and Miguel Sano is standing on 2nd base. Adrianza is your guy. This is a much, much, much more likely scenerio than ever having to use a 13th pitcher in a 5 game series.
  19. What's the chances Smeltzer even sees multiple starts before the playoffs start? I think there's about zero chance he is even considered for a playoff start. Probably a much better chance he is left off the playoff roster IMO.
  20. A 13 man staff in a 5 game series is just awful roster management. Never will happen.
  21. He is a really good catcher....but it's a counting stat. The Twins have gotten similar if not more production out of the Garver/Castro combo this season.
  22. Outside of Romero and possibly Gordon, were we expecting much help this year? Does Garver not count? He's having quite the breakout season. How about Adrianza? he has been around but he has had quite the breakout. The rest of the offense haven't really given anyone else an opportunity to even get AB's. I'll agree with you on the pitching, a lot of guys had had chances and no one has really stuck. We have seen some stuff from Smeltzer, Thorpe has shown some promise. Most Twins prospects were at the lower levels coming into this year, that has to be taken into account. Next season is one to watch for break out players with so many talents being in AA and above.
