    I am. Although I'd prefer the opposite outcome of tonight.
  2. Blake
    Didn't like the outcome, but, darn, that was a game!
  3. Blake
    Yeah, it's kind of shocking to watch hits drop in that you know Buxton would have caught.

    I like this Gibson. He didn't go into complete meltdown mode after the 1st. I'd have bet money he wouldn't make it out of the second today. Years past, I think that would have been a pretty safe bet.

    Ask and ye shall receive?

    What in the world just happened? Mauer? Really?
  7. Blake
    Man, I love a well pitched game. You?
  8. Blake
    Yep.
  9. Blake
    It truly is amazing how much the late season schedule can impact playoff prospects.

    I'm giving Falvey/Levine a cautious "thumbs up" due to what you said about giving everyone a chance. No knee jerk reactions from what I'm seeing. Seems like the new FO may be taking an analytic approach to organization personnel.
  11. Blake
    Interesting. Cleaning house after the minor league seasons are over. Looks to me like the new FO has spent the year looking through what they have before making decisions.

    If Hildenburger is available, while I think he's much better in these situations, it still is asking a lot. I just don't think Pressley is best used in the situation last night. Molitor knew who was available and also knew, going into the seventh that Colon had gotten that far mostly on smoke and mirrors. Although, I'm going to be up front and admit I've got Molitor under a microscope because of past managing blunders. edit: realized I'd committed the blunder of taking contradictory positions. Something that is only allowed when writing or participating in a game thread.

    I think when you're going with your secondary relievers, you go with a clean inning rather than let them put out a fire. And, I like Pressley starting an inning much better than I like him trying to put out a fire. Of course, this goes back to Molitor. I wonder if he really has a feel for his pitching staff and how best to use it? Of course, with the way things shaped up last night, even bringing in your best relievers was putting them in a position to fail. No room for error.

    Now that you mention it, I have to wonder, exactly, what Molitor was thinking. Molitor's been quick, in the past, to pull pitchers when things start getting out of hand yet lets Colon start the seventh. It's late in the season and the Twins have reached "all hands on deck" time in regards to a the playoff push. I also remember Tom Kelly explaining that he pulled a pitcher, even though the pitch count wasn't high and the score still favored the Twins, because the pitcher was giving up "loud" outs. So, I gotta go with 6 innings, pull Colon and turn it over the bullpen, regardless of the score, because, Colon had given up more than his share of loud outs. This is year three of Molitor managing and I'm seeing too many mistakes. And if I see them, how many more are being made of which I'm unaware? Okay, box score show Colon going 6. Am I missing something? I thought Colon started the 7th. Or did Colon start the 7th, not record an out and therefore, the box score shows Colon pitching 6?
  15. Blake
    Beat me to it.
  16. Blake
    Or, maybe a little bit of the old hit and run? Depending on who's turn to cover could create a gap Rosario can put the ball through and then where's Buxton?
  17. Blake
    Yes, yes it is.
  18. Blake
    I wonder what you have in mind for post 6666...
  19. Blake
    By the way, take that, Jays! (and I cleaned that up!)
  20. Blake
    Evidently not.
  21. Blake
    Yep, totally saw that one coming....and if you believe that, I've got a bridge for sale in AZ.
  22. Blake
    Fair? Game thread? I didn't know it was a thing. Interesting.
  23. Blake
    Concur.
  24. Blake
    The definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Molitor keeps bunting. Hmmm.
  25. Blake
    21 straight for Cleveland. Wow.
