    This front office has improved the squad leaps and bounds over the past regime, and has entrenched this team as a very good team the last two seasons. The farm system has been fixed, we're seeing a trend in consistently improving pitchers' potentials, and they've made some smart moves on the market. That being said, we ain't in this to win divisions. We need to be a World Series contender. Underachieving in the playoffs should not be tolerated. I'm hoping to see some more willingness to trade prospects for players who can be difference makers in the postseason. I hope Rocco can improve his abilities as a manager and learn from the mistakes that have happened in the past.

    Ugh... I'm not even mad. I really did expect the Twins to set the all-time consecutive playoff loss record, but against the 29-31 Astros? 1 run on 4 hits? I keep hearing that this isn't the team that has lost 17 consecutive postseason games, but they sure do play like it! And for all the talk of adding postseason experience to the team so that we'd play better now that we're here... I don't see how it helps on a game-to-game basis. Romo may have been on 3 WS winning squads, but that didn't help us today.

    Kiriloff makes sense knowing that Wade couldn’t be brought up, and was going to take a 40 man spot in November. Alcala being off the roster... why?! He’s been pretty darn good. I guess they don’t trust a rookie to relieve, as Littell and Stashak got hit up in last year’s playoffs.

    "Stealing" is right. I wouldn't have expected the White Sox to lose 7 of their last 8 games, but they somehow did. I guess it was related to the fact that they were going up against strong competition, which has been their weakness this year. Getting the Astros round 1 is ideal, but I have my concerns with the injured hitters and the bullpen. Rocco did his best to rest many of the hitters, but they've been so injury prone that there's not much he could do. Who knows if Donaldson or Buxton will be in the lineup, Polanco's swing doesn't look right, Garver is still broken, Gonzalez, Adrianza, and Cave were way better hitters in 2019, Cruz doesn't look right, and Sano is back in a slump. Yikes!

    We had a pretty darn good game yesterday against a playoff starter. Getting 2 runs off Gray, another playoff starter, isn't terrible. I'm not super confident in this team winning it all, but they're certainly not bad. I think they can beat Cleveland or Chicago in the first round if they play them.
  6. Danchat
    In the playoffs last year, Sano went 1 for 12 with 8 Ks and 1 HR. At this point I don't see him doing anything different unless he suddenly gets hot... which is a possibility.
  7. Danchat
    Arraez my boy!! Back up to .315, right where we expected his average to be.
  8. Danchat
    It was only a matter of time that the White Sox won a game... let's just win these final two and be done with it.
  9. Danchat
    I think we're at the point where Rogers should only be used when we're losing. He's giving up too much hard contact and nearly blew this one. If Votto didn't swing at ball 4 we might have a different ballgame here.
  10. Danchat
    Very good, this is just the kick in the pants the offense needed. 7 doubles! Forget bombas, doubles are all the rage now! The Cubs still have 4 more innings to rally. Go Cubs!
  11. Danchat
    Yeah, this is what I'm talking about! Let's win the division tonight!
  12. Danchat
    Holy cow what an AB for Arraez! Good to see him back and healthy. We will need his bat in the lineup.
  13. Danchat
    It's good to see Arraez back, but Castillo will be a difficult opponent... though they did pull Mahle really early yesterday, so they might not let Castillo pitch very long. I would imagine their postseason rotation is Bauer-Gray-Castillo, then Mahle?
  14. Danchat
    The pitching wasn't great today, but the Reds only had one more hit than the Twins did. The offense has to be better than this if we're going anywhere in the playoffs. I'm getting real sick of watching Sano and Garver whiff at the plate at such a high rate. Using Colina in the 9th was a bad move, but the game was already over with the way the offense was going.
  15. Danchat
    Same here, except high school and more balks!
  16. Danchat
    Yeah, I would have waited until this was a 4 run game to bring a rookie in...
  17. Danchat
    We did just win the past 4 games in a row...
  18. Danchat
    Not a good first career AB there...
  19. Danchat
    Not a bad AB from Marwin, but there's just no margin for error with everyone striking out.
  20. Danchat
    We went 7-3 against them this year. I'm not afraid of them, we even gave Bieber a L the last time we faced him.
  21. Danchat
    Nice, right after I say that Marwin hits an RBI single. I've been pretty good at jinxing things this year.
  22. Danchat
    The Reds are not a bad team, but boy these poor RISP ABs are getting really old. I didn't expect us to sweep them, but it'd be nice to see our lineup consistently get 4 runs a game. I'm not asking for that much!
  23. Danchat
    Byron has 10 hits with 2 strikes in the count, good for a .161 average.
  24. Danchat
    I didn't expect this, but I won't complain, since I think he has the stuff to be a major leaguer eventually. He was going to have to be added to the 40 man roster once the season ends, so it makes sense to give him a spot now. If he ever does pitch in important innings, teams won't have any scouting reports to go off of, so it could turn out for them. That likely won't happen if everything goes right.
  25. Danchat
    The Rays are on a whole other level getting great play out of guys on their rookie contracts. They only have 3 guys on the team who aren't on a rookie deal - that's simply insane!
