    She has bucked Baldelli in those situations pretty much all year long. We can't get stuck with AK and Julien on the bench in the 7th, 8th and 9th innings.
  2. BsuNemo
    Maybe if we go two we can still start Ober in game one of the divisional series then on to Lopez and Gray.
  3. BsuNemo
    Anyone know - not that this is the right thing to do but - if Lewis tweaks it again (please no) can we add Buxton at that point? I wouldn't think we'd have to play a person short if we have an injury. Along those same lines - if we pull Lewis, could he theoretically be added to the next series or does he have to be out for a certain amount of time?

    I was thinking that too - like 12+ k's each team. Who can hit one out and who is on if it happens. I said yesterday that we win if our pitchers don't walk people and we strikeout less than Toronto does.

    I'm really afraid of Ryan as our game three starter. I wish they would have swapped him and Maeda or Ober. He struggled at the end of the year last year and again this year. With a lefty probably going in game three for Toronto, runs may be hard to come by and Ryan is giving up a TON of deep balls still. Seeing Toronto with 3 lefties makes me think teams are on to Baldelli and his early substitutions - want Julien, Kiriloff and or any other left handed hitter out of the line up early - make an early switch to a lefty. Baldelli has done this early and often knowing that there will still be right handed pitcher in the game later on. I hope his analytics have shown him that taking our best hitters out for one AB even though they'll get more ABs later in the game isn't the right move. Sitting here with my Puckett jersey on - come on Kirby, shine a little game 6 magic down on us today.

    Would've like to see them not send CP out for the second inning - let him bask in a great first inning for a great first game. He battled it out the second inning but coming off not throwing in a major league game in 18 months, I just thought one inning should have been where they start. I think Duran at 103, Varland at 99, Paddack at 99, Jax at 98, Funderburk at 98, Stewart at 98 - we have the power arms in the bullpen to dominate hitters IF we don't walk anyone. I'm really excited for next week! Stay healthy and be 1-0 next Wednesday morning.

    I don't trust Ryan as a game three - must win - starter. I'd rather have the vet Maeda start that game and Ryan start game one of the next series if we get there.
  8. BsuNemo
    Second... First was game 7, 91 world series
  9. BsuNemo
    Jeezus - 2nd inning... Really...? 😳😔
  10. BsuNemo
    What happened to Solano? Why only one ab?
  11. BsuNemo
    Couple thoughts - 1) Why can't the game one starter of the wildcard series be the game one starter of the divisional series? Gray/Lopez can go on four days rest at that point right? Or maybe it's an advantage to have starter #4 vs their #1 and the our 1 vs their 2 and so on. I think Maeda is the 3rd starter. He's done it. He's shown flashes of great pitching this year and I think he shows up in the playoffs. This would be Ryan and Ober's first time in playoffs. I don't want firsts in a must win game three. I still don't think Ryan is totally healthy either. He made a few weird movements after some pitches last night. 26 players... AK, Julien, Polo, Correa, Lewis, Farmer, Vasquez, Jeffers, MAT, Kep, Wallner, Castro, Solano, Stevenson Gray, Lopez, Maeda, Ober, Stewart, Pagan, Varland, Duran, Jax, Theilbar, Funderburk, Floro And who? Probably Gallo... maybe Keuchel even though we don't want to hear that - Ryan stays off the roster as their 4th starter. Buxton? Gordon? Celestino (probably not)
  12. BsuNemo
    I think Lee plays primarily second. Julien is more of the utility guy and both Lee and Julien can get some first base in too and DH if Buxton gets his ass into the outfield. AK can get some outfield. We will find a place for his bat. (I hope)
  13. BsuNemo
    Kepler instead?
  14. BsuNemo
    2024 1st AK (Julien) 2nd Lee (Julien) (Polo) 3rd Lewis (Miranda) SS Correa (polo) Catcher Jeffers (Vasquez) RF Wallner CF Buxton (Martin) LF Larnach DH Julien (Buxton) (Polo) There are a few other interesting prospects as well.
  15. BsuNemo
    If you think he has no input then you're blind. He absolutely has a say... "hey front office I'm two players short, I need that fixed"
  16. BsuNemo
    They did exactly this with Arraez. Also, why can't Rocco know when to put someone on IR... I said the same thing last year. We could've had a playable player on our bench the last week of Solano would've been put on the IL... Now Castro too... Day to day means can't play right now which means we're now two players short handed... Everything this organization does bucks the norm and usually does not work. From terrible trades, to bringing in washed up vets instead of letting the young players play, to keeping players in the minors their entire careers, to bullpen usage, no consistency in the lineup, players regressing throughout the year... So many red flags. They've had enough time and have shown they are incapable of producing or growing a team that can play at or above their potential. Next

    The perfect trade deadline (minus any of the huge possibilities) - Bellinger and he plays out the season as he started the season, brings winning and leadership and shows he's finally healthy again and we resign him for 3 years so we don't have to have a MAT type player there every day again next year (I appreciate what MAT is but it's not an every day Centerfielder). Hader and Robertson to shut the door when our starters pitch lights out. Then we stay healthy, Lewis comes back and rakes, Polo is truly healthy and rakes and buck takes a few days away, gets his head on straight and figures it out down the stretch. Then we've got a fighting chance.
  18. BsuNemo
    I actually see a lot of similarities with SS. And I think it's what this team needs. Leadership and a person that has won before - and maybe we get another 2 to 3 years from him with the thought that Buxton isn't going to be in CF in the future. That being said - Lewis and Polo should help the offense. Correa has talked a lot about being more aware of making contact with pitches which I think is a huge deal. Theilbar and Stewart will help the BP.... One Shannon Stewart like catalyst and no more injuries and we could turn on for August and September! We've got the pitching to do something if we can figure out the offense or go find some!

    A new coach absolutely could change how some or all of our hitters are hitting. It's his approach they are trying to follow. Rocco was quoted as saying strikeouts aren't a bad thing and the analytical thing to do is swing for the fences. This is why we got Gallo. It's why Kep has went from a mid to high .200s hitter to a low .200s hitter. It's why our hitters hit in the minors and not when they get up with the twins, then when they're traded they hit again. This is all absolutely about the manager and his approach. It worked one year with a juiced ball and he just can't get off that one year and adapt.
  20. BsuNemo
    Has a Rocco led team ever out performed pythagorian wins losses? Honest question... Thinking maybe 2019 did
  21. BsuNemo
    The most unwatchable twins team since the 90s. Baseball and the twins are a staple of my summer. Haven't watched a game since the end of May and definitely won't until changes are made. No longer planning to take my kid to a game on July. We'll go fishing and camping instead.
  22. BsuNemo
    They weren't like that in the minors and many of them start off solid in the bigs. His philosophy of home run or bust kills these kids. Top teams in the league make contact. We're the worst at it. That's only partially a player issue.
  23. BsuNemo
    Need to keep this up now! Keep AK up near the top lineup, get buck back into cf and don't believe a damn thing out of Rocco's mouth when it comes to injuries. Really hoping Larnach and Miranda will find it in triple a and still add some value to the offense before the end of the year. Need to be consistent now.
  24. BsuNemo
    I'll say it again... Rocco will cover his behind this year when it comes to injuries by downplaying them to the detriment of the team. Kepler - "nothing major, he'll be fine" after playing with a short bench for 4 days, he's on the IL. Gallo - "just some discomfort. We don't anticipate him being out." again, short bench for 4 days then to the IL Kenta after leaving his first start shaking his arm "there's nothing wrong with Kenta. Just some fatigue..." after getting our butts kicked yesterday because of the fatigue, just watch. He'll be on the IL too (instead of ober or varland pitching yesterday for a chance to sweep). Keep watching this trend all summer. It will be his new "thing". Having players injured sucks... We know that from last year... But pretending they're not sucks even more because we play short-handed with them unavailable on the bench.
  25. BsuNemo
    For all of us wishing we had a better option than Kep in right field... We don't at this point. There's almost zero chance we just let him go. It would have to be a trade. Rocco isn't going to just cut him. Julien looks like he's trying to hard. A down and back up would do him well to reset. Buck doesn't look right. The strikeouts are out of control, but that's normal for this team with this manager. Solano reminds me a bit of Eduardo Escobar, not so much in the power department but in his ability to get hits. It's unlike the other players on this team. I just really hope we find a way to have an offense. Our pitching is too good to waste... Side note; any idea why Rocco gets pagan up in the tenth last night? There appears to be no situation in which he was coming in??
