    Hmmm..... and no studies shown...................................
  2. FlyingFinn
    A long extra inning game could be a real issue if we use up everyone by then.
  3. FlyingFinn
    Bring on the robo ump strike/ball calls. In a game of inches and with teams so close, favoring veterans or teams must end. We have the technology now to make the game more fair.
  4. FlyingFinn
    Was Kirilloff pulled yesterday just on performance or is that shoulder bothering him again? Would the Twins play Julien at 1B today and put Castro and Taylor both in the OF, with Wallner at DH? Great OF defense as Ryan is going to have some balls hit out there.
  5. FlyingFinn
    If Vazquez plays, I think it will be on the 2nd day of a back-to-back. Jeffers batting .154 in the playoffs and playing every day shows us what the Twins think of our catchers right now.
  6. FlyingFinn
    Starter must be worse against LH hitters with Castro in for Taylor and Kepler up in the lineup.
  7. FlyingFinn
    Just give the top two seeds an option - would you like to play the team with the best record (but missed the playoffs) or would you rather have a bye? :)
  8. FlyingFinn
    My comment is entirely in regards to batting Jeffers #6 in the original post above, ahead of Kirilloff. I would bat Kirilloff ahead of Jeffers.
  9. FlyingFinn
    And you like how Jeffers is doing better than Kirilloff?? I would simply flip Correa and Kirilloff in the 5 and 6 spots because Correa is swinging well. Castro for Wallner is another possibility.
  10. FlyingFinn
    I think we go to 7 games in the next round, making it more likely that we go with 13 pitchers (though maybe the off days still support a 12 man staff). Stevenson would be the odd man out but I don't see the Twins getting rid of any other hitters unless there's an injury. Then, I just don't gamble that Buxton gets hurt in game #1 and we are down to 12 batters, with one being Vasquez, who has as many AB's as Buxton in the playoffs.
  11. FlyingFinn
    No. He would try his best and most likely get hurt in the first game and not be able to play the rest of the series. We would be playing a man down. Get ready for next year Bux.
  12. FlyingFinn
    I thought that originally as well. But on replay, I think the catcher closed off the lane after he caught the ball so I think it was a correct ruling.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Great postgame comment by Rocco - Lewis is running better. That explains why we tried the Jeffers bunt. Wonder if the Twins play Lewis at 3B on Tuesday..........
  14. FlyingFinn
    They are off to a rough start tonight, practically begging for a Polanco steal attempt (with his recent injuries, don't think he's going anywhere). Then, they are talking about it being a smart move to get Correa up in the order, to #4, implying it's because of how he has hit so far. The Twins lineup is just so different against lh's and it think it's much more about that. I expect Correa in the 5 hote on Tuesday as he's looked better than Kirilloff so far.
  15. FlyingFinn
    No problem at all against the Astros as they only have RH's in the bullpen.
  16. FlyingFinn
    I mostly agree but hitting into double plays are actually even worse.
  17. FlyingFinn
    Nope, Gray would be lined up for that game.
  18. FlyingFinn
    I love Polanco when healthy, especially as a clutch hitter. I just believe he will continue to have years like this where he gets injured. His body is beat up and it really shows on defense. Lee is coming in 2024. We definitely won't keep both Farmer and Polanco.
  19. FlyingFinn
    Lewis isn't from north of the border and seemed to do pretty good in the wild card series. And Kirilloff is no rookie when it comes to playing in the post season. As Correa said in an interview, the Twins have the same rookie/veteran mixture that Houston had in winning their World Series in 2015 (if I have the year correct). The Blue Jays seemed scared of Kirilloff and Wallner and took Berrios out just to get them on the bench. I think both will contribute in the Astros series at some point.
  20. FlyingFinn
    I disagree. Thielbar has pitched on two consecutive days multiple times this year and certainly can pitch 5 days out of 7. But I also want Funderburk. I can see Ober or Ryan get to a spot where Funderburk comes in for the last out of an inning against a LH. Then, put Maeda in the very next inning as the bridge to the 7th inning. Add Ober to the roster and remove Stephenson (or Paddack if we think the pinch runner/late inning defense is more valuable than adding the 13th pitcher).
  21. FlyingFinn
    I disagree. If Polanco got a ball to throw to 2B, I'm saying Correa is taking the throw, looking at where each players was positioned to start the play. I was just surprised how fast Correa got to the ball when he wasn't running that great three weeks ago.
  22. FlyingFinn
    Edit: My original comment was wrong. Thanks @JDBrocks for the correction.
  23. FlyingFinn
    I prefer Ober/Maeda and Ryan/Maeda. With Maeda going no more than 3 innings he can come back on three days rest.

    Brooks Lee Could start the year with the Twins and have a chance at 2024 Al Rookie of the Year (Twins would get an extra #1 draft pick).Walker Jenkins Would like to see him start in Cedar Rapids.Emmanuel Rodriguez Very selective like Julien. Needs less SO's.Marco Raya Ended the season with two great starts. Twins are careful with him.David Festa Only Twin in the MiLB All Star game.Austin Martin Great speed, contact hitter, plays numerous positions.Noah Miller Best defensive SS, by far, in MiLB who starting hitter good the last half of the year.Kala'i Rosario MVP of the league in A+.Tanner Schobel Great in A+. Needs to adjust to AA.Luke Keaschall Great start.Danny De Andrade Very young to be in A ball and did okay.Jose Rodriguez Let's see what he can do in A ball.Matt Canterino I've thinking he will come back from injury and still be good.Cory Lewis Great year for him. AA next year.Charlee Soto All potential at this point.Kody Funderburk LH relievers are valuable.Jair Camargo HR hitting catcher at AAA who plays decent D. Simeon Woods Richardson Much improved 2nd half. Still young.Yunior Severino Monster homers if he could just cut down on the almost 40% SO's.Jaylen Nowlin Needs to be more consistent.
  25. FlyingFinn
    Anyone else surprised the Blue Jays played the infield back with the bases loaded and nobody out in the 4th? If you get Castro (or just an out at home like I think they would have got with the infield in), you have a slower Jeffers to try for the inning ending double play and Taylor following him.
