...as Lynch stumbled toward the juke box, Ryan decided to break the news, as gently as she could, "Hey, do you remember who played left field for the Yankees back in 2009?" Lynch swung around, steadying himself on a nearby pool table. His eyes were wide, almost sober, as he mumbled, "Yeah, Johnny 'The Caveman' Damon. But Melky Cabrera moved from center to left in the second game of the ALDS when Brett Gardner... What's your eff'ing point?" -

When I penciled in this right-dominant lineup last night, I figured Perez was in for T.R.O.U.B.L.E. if trouble was spelled with nine 'R's.'. Likely scenario? Perez gets through four or five innings while giving up three or four runs. Hopefully our bats can hold serve. Then, around the third time through the Astros lineup, bring in a right-handed reliever. Maybe the Astros will have to flip their order? Nope.

What a gem! Baldelli's strategy worked, but why not send Odorizzi out for the 8th, on a short leash? Only 86 pitches through the 7th, with the #9 hitter, the first of three righty batters, coming up against RHP, Odorizzi. Rogers has proven to be effective against right handed batters, but not as effective as port-sided swingers. Either Parker or Odo might have made more sense, match-up wise. Finally, another inning from Odorizzi takes just a little more pressure off the bullpen. This is the first of four against the Astros, four games into a stretch of 13 in a row. Oh, well. Small potatoes. Tidy win. Go Twins.

Less than, <15. Better?

Ditto on concerns about rust forming on the top tier of the bullpen. I'm hopeful that Berrios goes seven strong today, Rogers pitches a clean 8th, and Parker tidies up with -15 pitch ninth.

4-2 road trip. I don't mind the Stewart statt and makeshift lineup. Live to fight another day.

I love to see these guys develop, with outrageous video game stats. Either they will become part of a stronger Twins 25-man roster, or of optimal value if/when the Twins trade for an ace in July.

Great article! A couple years ago my youngest boy put together a family bracket "March Madness" style of favorite minor league team names. All four family members got a vote--with Mom's vote being the tie breaker. The Pensacola Blue Wahoos went into the final vs. The Montgomery Biscuits. The Wahoos walked off with the title! Now that it's a Twins affiliate, we keep our eyes open for a family trip, sometime in the next year or two. Thanks for the updates!

Cesar is all-hit, no-hands, as Seth noted. He notched his 8th error in 9 games at 3b yesterday.
-
Nice to steal one. A win tonight and we'll be "playing with house money" against Verlander in that bullpen game on Wednesday.
-
Hail Cesar! I see this guy is only 24, and came over from the Astros organization as a minor league free agent. He put up good numbers with the Astros too. Any more information on him? I searched the Twins Daily archives and noticed that Seth didn't project him as a starter. Looks like the Astros loss is our gain.

Spoiler: Craig Kimbrel has a cameo near the end of the Avengers. All seems lost, he saves the day. I hear its fabulous!

I wholeheartedly agree with the "cascading" nature of a longer bullpen, (also known as a "cascade effect" although that phrase is usually used negatively). Bringing up Duffey may already be the first trigger in a positive cascade. The Kimbrel Effect could be another. To reference a negative example of a cascade, I don't believe that signing Kimbrel would mess up the Twins current payroll flexibility. There will still be room to go get an ace around the trade deadline. However, if the bullpen continues to blow three or four games out of the fifteen already played, how does that "cascade" out over thirty or sixty games? Bert's "California Math" and my "Minnesota Math" arrive at similar sum at the bottom of May or June. No matter the equation, the sum is to be feared.

Glad to see Duffey lengthen the bullpen. Kimbrel would make it a whole lot longer. He'd look fabulous in a Twins jersey. -
Kimbrel gets better lookin' with each passing day...

Kimbrel never looked so good.

OCD moment! You started a sentence, and then a WHOLE PARAGRAPH with a lowercase "d!" Great win Twinkies! Time to hammer Thor.

It's ballpark food, not the Last Supper. Bring your own food. Better yet, bring enough cash to buy at least one round of warm, flat beer for the people you love, or have to endure for the duration of the game. And, always, ALWAYS, tip your vendor.

"Nick what kind of velocity does Thorpe have on his fastball and his various breaking ball?" Lewis'"Thorpedo" hit 95+ at the beginning of last year, according to a quick search. I'm sure Nick has more up-to-date information. I'm intrigued by his BABIP #'s: .327 in AA (.247 avg.) and .321 in AAA (.244 avg.) Is it Thorpe's lack of a third pitch, and/or were his opponents lucky in 2018? Still, the number of dingers he surrendered is another indicator...

He looks good, passing my JV baseball coaching "eye test." Seems to stay back on the ball, "letting the ball play him" rather than coming in on the ball, eliminating one or two hops. The arm strength covers for that hesitation, however. A good fielder. Great? Maybe...
