    Gibson is not terrible for an inning or two; that's been his MO and his scouting report for years. If he can come in on a clean inning and throw a little harder without having to worry about going six innings, maybe he'll be successful? Going to need more right-armed throwers against Yankees and Astros than lefties.

    My one suggestion to Dobnak: change the glasses to black; add white tape to the center; ask the NY (or Houston) media to call you "Randy Hanson." And then throw the first pitch of the game behind the back of the leadoff hitter.

    Allowing German to pitch in the post-season (given eye-witnesses from the Commissioner's office) would be an embarrassment to MLB.

    I predict within five years little leaguers all around Minnesota will be shaking their heads at ball calls, walking a 360 around the batter's box and umpire when they take a strike they don't like, and requesting to wear #2 on their jerseys.

    If you're going to have a bullpen game, give Gibson or Perez the chance to either: start with an extremely short leash (like, two-hits or two-walks in a row short leash); or have a starter like Dobnak or Smeltzer, and bring in Gibson or Perez in the second or third (clean inning, nothing with runners on.)

    Add Marwin to the acceptable outfield lineup, particularly against a lefty, once he's healthy. (You can always throw Jake Cave out there as a defensive replacement for MarGo in later innings.)

    I keep hearing "The Twins are 5 games up with only 19 left to go; what's the worst that can happen?" Maybe we should ask the 2009 Detroit Tigers, who had a 4.5 game lead with 19 left?

    Isn't Hydrochlorothiazide for high blood pressure? Did Pineda just not have the correct prescription?

    If there's a better thing on Twitter right now than the Titanic mashup, I haven't seen it.

    I just think it's kinda cool that the three teams leading their NL Divisions are all past World Series opponents for the Twins: Dodgers ('65), Cardinals ('87), and Braves ('91.) A rematch against any of them would be fun and bring out the nostalgia.

    So... the Twins have never actually had a set of Twins on their roster, correct? Think the team should make a trade for Taylor's brother, Tyler? https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twin-brothers-in-mlb-history

    From http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/postseason-roster-rules-eligibility - Teams carry extra players throughout the postseason in the event of injuries, and those players, as well as players on the injured list, can be in the dugout during games, within reason. So Astudillo travels in case Garver or Castro go down with an injury, to be available the next game. He could probably even be a bullpen catcher or warm-up catcher if needed.

    Is Kyle Gibson fast? He looks fast. I remember the 1987 ALCS; Sparky Anderson had Jack Morris (the game after he started) pinch run with the Tigers down a run in the bottom of the 8th. Morris scored the tying run (on a Pat Sheridan homerun that also scored the winning run) but it was some outside-the-box thinking... I bet Sergio Romo could pinch-run if asked.
  21. woolywoolhouse
    If Astudillo is not on the 25-man player roster for the playoffs, is it possible they keep him on as a coach/cheerleader on the bench?

    I remember faking an illness in high school when ESPN played a marathon of these back in the day (late-90s, pre-OnDemand days.)

    The reason this is an unwritten rule is because if you wrote it down, the majority of people would read it and proclaim it a stupid rule. Don't want to give up a hit? Don't throw a hittable pitch.

    I've always been a proponent of moving Kepler (and before that, Dozier) out of the lead-off spot, but honestly it takes a certain mentality to bat lead-off. Garver didn't seem to have it when he first started batting lead-off against lefties earlier this season, but it has seemed to finally come to him. The eye test says that Arraez would probably flourish there. But we know for a fact that Kepler is doing just fine there. I wouldn't move him.
