    Holy crap, let's save Wisler for the 8th or 9th in close games from now on!
  2. Danchat
    I do think it's the right time to go to the bullpen - Pineda's at 92 pitches, and we play 2 games the next 4 days. There will be time for the pen to rest up.
  3. Danchat
    I think it's "freedom"? I dunno, my folks were debating that the other day too.
  4. Danchat
    It's looking like it - all three's contracts are up, and I don't think re-signing them should be on the table. Avila is not a bad backup catcher, but it's pretty clear that Jeffers will be ready to back up Garver, if not step ahead of him.

    Checking up on Brusdar Graterol... he's been great for the Dodgers with a 3.10 ERA / 2.90 FIP and 0.984 WHIP, but the weirdest thing is that he's not striking anybody out! He's got a 5.3 K/9, but a phenomenal 1.3 BB/9. It's just so odd to see Brusdar striking out guys like he's Kevin Correia, but is otherwise getting outs similar to how Dobnak was (before the regression came).
  6. Danchat
    Yeah... I dunno folks, I foresee another sweep if we face the Yanks. Last year the Twins had swagger, and they completely fell on their faces. Now half the team is hitting around the Mendoza line, and we've had to rely on our pitching, which is good, but not great. Just looking over the stats, the Yankees hitters are doing a lot better than the Twins...
  7. Danchat
    Well, this has been Hill's best start so far. And of course, with no run support to boot!
  8. Danchat
    With Angel Hernandez as the ump, the hitters better just swing at every borderline pitch, since you'll never know if he'll call it a strike.

    I was wondering if Sano might be falling into a slump again... numbers since his 3 hit game on 9/5: .121/.171/.394 (.565 OPS) Ugh. He's so good when he's locked in (1.12 OPS from late August to 9/5), but these dry spells really hurt. If this version of him shows up in the postseason (like last year), he's just going to be a black hole in the lineup.

    I don't disagree, but Adrianza's really the only guy who can play SS outside of Polanco. Nobody else has started at SS this year.
  11. Danchat
    Dang, I didn't think they'd be able to sneak Littell through waivers. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of him. I wonder if DFA'ing Littell was to get Gordon back on the 40 man roster? As for the prospects who should be protected: Kirilloff, Colina, and Balazovic. Borderline guys include Rortvedt, Severino, Miranda, Baddoo, Maciel, Ober.

    SANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Danchat
    Grandal, what are you doing, it's a hit and run and you got a pitch right down the middle!
  14. Danchat
    I dunno folks, I think the White Sox are a better team. It's hard to accept that, especially considering the comments on the White Sox preview article about how they weren't going to be better than us or Cleveland... but the Twins lineup gets too cold too quickly and our pitching has some holes.
  15. Danchat
    There you go, Rocco finally listened to you guys.
  16. Danchat
    Marwin was in the original lineup, but was scratched since he is sick (non-COVID). Rooker and Jeffers did well being thrust into the lineup, I don't see what's so bad about giving Blankenhorn a chance here. Better than Adrianza's bat, likely.
  17. Danchat
    Isn't this our best lineup, minus Arraez for Blankenhorn? Jeffers has an OPS over .900 and everyone else is pretty firmly entrenched as a starter. Marwin is currently sick and was hitting .620 OPS anyways, and Adrianza's at a pathetic .537 OPS, so he's not worth penciling into the lineup most days.
  18. Danchat
    It seems like Dobnak's regression started right when that one article was published here on the same topic, and now it's in full effect...
  19. Danchat
    Rogers is actually 9 for 11 in save situations, but this is his 4th loss and BBref has him at a -0.5 WAR (not even including this game).
  20. Danchat
    It's probably time to switch their roles... well, maybe not save situations for Jorge, but Rogers needs to be in the back-end of the pen.
  21. Danchat
    Well if you trot Rogers out in the 9th, then the Sox likely walk him off...
  22. Danchat
    Just keep telling yourself it’s bad luck... Rogers is fine...
  23. Danchat
    New strategy - just intentionally walk the first batter, get a double play, and then you only have to face 2 hitters per inning! The Sox could get away with that today.
  24. Danchat
    It almost feels like it's the White Sox's plan to let our first runner get run, and then lull the hitters into a sense of security or something.
  25. Danchat
    That took almost 100 pitches and 9 RISP situations to get to that 1st run... and we're still only in the 5th inning.
