  1. Nah, I'd rather take on the Indians or White Sox. We beat Bieber last time out and our bats did well against them, and I like our hitters' chances against Giolito in Game 1.
  2. The Tigers are really outhitting us today...
  3. Holy cow, the Blue Jays are jumping all over the Yanks, up 11-1. And Tanaka was pitching... oh, make that 13-1!
  4. Things really are falling in place for the Twins these past couple days. Suddenly it looks possible to be the #2 seed!
  5. I know, right? They should really call up some help from the minors to get some more posts out there. Too many of the big names are being held out of the forum today, likely resting for the playoffs.
  6. They've announced Maeda as the #1, Berrios going second, and Pineda going third. 2: I'd trust Romo, Duffey, and Wisler first in close games late. Rogers and May haven't pitched like they did last year. Clippard has been decent, and Alcala and Stashak have looked good but haven't pitched in many close games. 3: I'd rotate between Garver and Jeffers. Jeffers is already a great defensive catcher and has hit way better too. Garver has still had troubles dropping pitches and letting more passed balls go by than he should, so I am a bit worried about him. 4. I still think the White Sox will win it, but I like our chances to stay ahead of the Yankees. Here's hoping the White Sox can keep stumbling against > .500 teams.
  7. At this point I'd only use Rogers when facing lefties if 2 of them are coming up in the lineup. I hope he isn't used in any tied or 1 run games... Baseball Reference has him at -0.7 WAR, the lowest on the team!
  8. I dunno... I was told last year was the year to "slay the dragon", and that went as poorly as it possibly could have been. Also, if the Twins lose Game 1 of the playoffs, they set the all-time record in consecutive playoff losses in any American sport. They are currently at 16 straight losses.
  9. Whew, that was almost a disaster. Good thing the bats woke up, and Kepler seems to be getting his groove back.
  10. I know Rogers' FIP is good... but he's giving up way too much good contact. This is more than just "bad luck". He's lucky he had Buxton in CF or that's a double.
  11. I was going to say that Buxton needs to steal here, but it's hard to do that when your next batter hits into a GIDP on the very first pitch of the AB.
  12. Jimenez has a 9.00 ERA... gets through the inning just fine.
  13. It's getting really frustrating to see the Twins consistently being outplayed by the Tigers and Royals.
  14. Uh oh, the bases are loaded. They have us where they want us!
  15. Can't say I'm surprised that Bailey's already getting pulled... hopefully the bullpen can keep us in this one. With another off day on Thursday, they can afford to use a lot of the pen today.
  16. Getting the 4th seed over the Yanks is an imperative with how they've played at home (for some reason). They need to take at least 4 out of the last 5 games here, methinks.
  17. Maybe there's just something about August that throws Berrios off. Now that we're in September he seems to be mostly back to his usual self.
  18. They also treated Sano striking out 4 times like it was some really awful event, when in reality it happens all the time. They clearly haven't watched many games.
  19. Looks like we're getting good Berrios. Hopefully we can see this version of him in the playoffs.
  20. Maybe the Chargers would do that if you included 3 1st round picks, DE Hunter, LB Kendricks. Cousins is likely going to make $66M the next two years!
  21. Whoops, I got thrown off when it said ESPN2 had Sportscenter. Now I got it.
  22. Maybe it's just that the Cubs lineup is flat right now, but giving up 2 runs against them in these two games is really impressive, and that's without Maeda or Berrios starting. Getting Pineda back has been very important, even if he only went 5 innings.
