    What he said.

    52? Explains a lot. Good job!

    Another thing to note: There are a lot of youngsters on the Twins who have never played under these conditions: Playoff atmosphere in one of the most hostile ballparks in the US. The youngsters played very well. Just came up a bit short.

    I am. Although I'd prefer the opposite outcome of tonight.
  6. Blake
    Didn't like the outcome, but, darn, that was a game!

    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?

    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?
  11. Blake
    Yes, yes it is.
  12. Blake
    I wonder what you have in mind for post 6666...
  13. Blake
    By the way, take that, Jays! (and I cleaned that up!)
  14. Blake
    Evidently not.
  15. Blake
    Yep, totally saw that one coming....and if you believe that, I've got a bridge for sale in AZ.
  16. Blake
    Fair? Game thread? I didn't know it was a thing. Interesting.
  17. Blake
    Concur.

    I think if Garver is average defensively but has a better bat, Garver stays. But, it's an opinion, which, we all know what that's worth.
  19. Blake
    I'll be the Padres are excited to play again tomorrow!
  20. Blake
    Another record breaking evening for the home town nine.
  21. Blake
    Meanwhile, the little fact that Gibson pitched 6 shutout innings will be lost. I really hope this means Gibson has turned the corner. He's turned in some dandy starts the last few times out.
  22. Blake
    You called that one.
  23. Blake
    I like the way Mr. Dozier showed some team spirit by leaving that RBI for Mr. Polanco.
  24. Blake
    I'll see your "rotivator" and raise you a "turbo encabulator."

    5. Road Rage – On my way home from work yesterday… some guy was texting and driving and he drifted into my lane so I shouted at him, “Stop texting and pay attention!” He shouted back… “Go to Hell!” and took off down the road. I walked into the house and told my wife that I was just told to go to hell by a crazy driver and she replied… “And you came straight to me.” Sounds like RB has taught Mrs. RB well.
