  1. Slegers should be right at home pitching today, he's basically facing a AAA lineup, which he's proven to be pretty good against.
  2. I've been surprised by Granite since his September call up, he isn't hitting very well. I thought he was going to spray a whole bunch of singles and hit .280 but that doesn't seem to be happening.
  3. I guess because we have a 3 run lead? I woulda given him the day off after yesterday, but that never seems to phase Molly.
  4. Wait, there was a game today? Well, I completely missed it. Good thing they already clinched the playoffs and this game doesn't really matter.
  5. That's a nice outing for Curtiss. 5 outs and just 1 baserunner.
  6. We have 3 games against a AAA team and the rest of the motley crew in the playoff race aren't even .500. I'm not the least bit concerned about them. We should be shaking in our boots at the thought of having a playoff series against Cleveland.
  7. You're not gonna win games with 1 for 14 RISP.
  8. Rosario is now just a triple short of the cycle!
  9. Just read an interesting tidbit: It'd be a shame if Colon's final outing of his career ended with him puking on the mound.
  10. Wait, since when did Kipnis play CF?
  11. Yes, agreed. He's been a great long reliever, which is something this team desperately needs. 1500 ESPN's Derek Wetmore made a 25 man roster playoff prediction and included Duffey over Gee. I really don't want that to happen.
  12. Boshers vs a righty? Oh boy, here we go.
  13. I just looked at Colon's pitches on MLB gameday. He's topping out at 87 MPH, normally he tops out at 90-91. Might be hurt.
  14. So, who wanted Colon to start a playoff game against the Indians again? Anyone still think that's a good idea?
  15. Where is the Rally Monkey option?!
  16. If we needed a 4th starter, I would start Mejia and around the 4th inning I would get Gee in and have him face the whole lineup once. Colon is out of gas and he's been horrible as of late, I would only utilize him as a reliever for an inning or two.
  17. I can't remember a Sunday where both the Twins and Vikings did so well, it's probably been a few years. It's great to see the Twins wrapping up this playoff spot, 5 games ahead of Texas/Angels! Good show.
  18. This series should really help our run differential. We're basically facing a AAA team!
  19. I just can't see any way the Twins blow this. They have 5 more games against a AAA team... also known as the Detroit Tigers. Even if the Twins finish the season 4-4, the Rangers/Angels would need to go 8-1 in their final 9 games to make the playoffs. Also the Angels are down 5-0 to the Astros at this very moment, so the playoff spot is at hand.
  20. Considering how much worse Suzuki is defensively than Castro, a 0.7 fWAR difference isn't going to stop me from choosing Castro.
  21. Escobar seems like he just hits better in clutch situations.
  22. They stated before the game Mejia was on a 70-80 pitch limit. They pulled him at 79 pitches. Can't blame him for that.
  23. Didn't think we'd be talking about this a few months ago. It'd seem more likely that 2018 would be his final season, but things sure do change in a hurry, huh? I'm not ready to give Mauer an extension yet. I'd rather wait and see if he can continue this torrid stretch into 2018, because it'd be a shame to lock yourself into 2-3 more years of a 1B hitting .260 with no power, albeit with elite defense. I don't imagine Mauer darting to another team after the 2018 season in free agency.
  24. You gotta give credit to the Twins, they always bounce back after hard losses. But there's an ocean of difference between the Yankees and Tigers...
