    Higher end prospects for Pressly? Not in my book, or how they rate in our farm, or how they have performed. Mediocre.

    The Twins sure would be a better team if they just resigned both of these guys instead of trading for mediocre (yup, mediocre) prospects that aren't even close to helping. We had the help right here, and Pressly even had another year, didn't he? Prospects, schmaspects. I want MLB players. Last years bonehead trades of real MLB players should be screaming at the FO. Now we are just looking for suckers like our FO was to get the same type of player we already had.

    Great discussion over the assignment of a win to the pitcher, eh? Especially since, in these days, so many claim that wins for a pitcher don't mean anything, and are worthless.

    It was an interesting call by the official scorer, the same group of charity workers that decide hits so generously instead of errors. Thorpe's first inning was not good, in fact, just as lucky to not give up more than one run as Duffey's was to not give up any. How many fans were cringing to have Thorpe come out for the 7th inning after that scary 6th? Duffey got sooooo lucky after his first batter walk and the bonehead play to not be on the bag for the double play. Still, he didn't give up any runs, and inherited a runner. Thorpe gave up 4 hits, an earned run, let the lead close from 2 to one run with a horrible first inning that started clean, and left the game with a runner in scoring position he had just given up a double to. 2.2 innings to 1 inning. I don't know. I could go either way, but I think I give the win to Duffey, who pitched the 5th, came in with 2 runs in and one runner on, the momentum swinging "bigly", and got out of the inning without letting the inherited runner score, saving the all important 2 run lead. I would also be giving fielders a lot more errors and the batters less hits.

    The rarely used assignment of the win to the relief pitcher deemed more effective gives Thorpe the win instead of Duffey, who got all three outs and was the pitcher that finished the 5th with the lead that was never relinquished. http://m.mlb.com/glossary/standard-stats/win

    And to think that Garver was always dissed and Stuart Turner got all the love as they progressed, always with Garver in the lower league.

    I just hate solo home runs!
  8. h2oface
    Big play. Out the inning with a only a 9.00 ERA for the game.
  9. h2oface
    Then who do you hype in the minor league articles?
  10. h2oface
    welp, Thorpe is no Kimbrel.
  11. h2oface
    9th hitter.
  12. h2oface
    Thorpe for relief. NOT.
  13. h2oface
    How about that read!
  14. h2oface
    Brain dead Duffy
  15. h2oface
    First 2 pitches strikes..... then can't find the plate.
  16. h2oface
    That would have been a wild pitch with yesterday's Castro back there.....
  17. h2oface
    Sweet. Now the pen is already in play. This could get nerve wracking.
  18. h2oface
    Jeez, Perez. RIGHT DOWN THE VERY CENTER OF THE ZONE! So I now drop the 7 runs and go with the 10 to win.
  19. h2oface
    What do dogs know, anyway?
  20. h2oface
    Peace.
  21. h2oface
    Again, obvious rhetorical question. But thanks for the review of baseball 101. Three different people.... and I still think it was a bad read.
  22. h2oface
    Great job Perez, and then the first pitch to Torres was right down the middle. Good thing Torres took the pitch.
  23. h2oface
    Such man/fansplaining. I guess I appear stupid.
  24. h2oface
    Rhetorical question. Bad read if you ask me. Which you didn't.
  25. h2oface
    Patience, Eddie.....
