    At least Wallner squared one up there. That's something.

    Maybe they were hoping that Polanco couldn't field it but Varsho couldn't get it near him? Who knows.

    Not sure how happy I am that Sonny is afraid to throw his fastball in that situation. Let's see how that plays out this afternoon.
  4. Cris E
    Maybe a quick and quiet inning can jumpstart the offense.

    Gotta go to the quick hook in the playoffs. You gotta defend your leads harder, so 3-0 is like 1-0 during the season. I know it would haev been cool for Pablo to finally get Keirmeyer, but with two on you go to the pen.

    Rough day for the ump.

    Need the offense to keep TOR running scared. The walk helps, but c'mon Kep.

    Apparently it isn't the same everywhere. CA, where Dr Nick just came from, does not have such a requirement: "Upon notification of the procedures for licensing in Minnesota that did not exist in his previous place of employment, immediate corrective actions were taken. He has since secured his unconditional license and is now in full compliance with state regulations." It's worth pointing out that the state board might have been a bit sleepy too and made a bunch of calls all at once, since trainers for the Twins, Wolves and two from the Vikings were all applying within that March/April timeframe.

    Miranda has already romped in AZ Fall and the Twins have a bunch of other guys who deserve the chance. I do agree that a trip to Driveline or some other mystical swing doctor would probably serve him well. He needs months to identify what led to the injury and build a foundation to overcome it by Valentine's Day. The organization isn't suited to that sort of work the way an individual coach is.

    The team is already rotating a lot of starters through the IL, some for real injuries (Buxton, Lewis, Kirilloff) but some for little things or short vacations (Taylor, Castro, Ryan) and I would expect Ober's AAA stint to fill the same role while leaving them some flexibility in case a real problem arises. Correa should be the only one shocked if he gets a short vacation before October too.

    He's not in a spot far removed from Larnach and Kirillof: injured, flashes of the big talent, little positive defensive value. Unless someone falls in love with one of them I expect they'll all be kept into spring training to see how rehab went and then trades will go down for 1-2 of them. My guess is MIranda and Larnach go and I have to learn to spell Kirilloff consistently, but if Colorado or someone comes knocking for any of them the Twins will listen closely.

    Pagan up, experiment over.
  13. Cris E
    Castro sucks! Fire the pitching coach!

    It's still 80 degrees in Cleveland, so I wonder when Tito pulls the plug on this and runs out his bench to rest the starters?
  15. Cris E
    There is a rule and it says 10 runs, no restrictions. It was considered and this is the primary case for it: the situation where a team is coming off a tough series and rolling into a tougher division series with a tired pen. It was discussed and a team is allowed to give up after yielding a ten run gap.
  16. Cris E
    25? 30? Screw 'em: if you give up that early you should get to own a record.

    Gallo always struck me as a really good softball guy. Good to see him reaping Cleveland's bitter harvest.
  18. Cris E
    CLE has to win one or two of these, and wasting a single relief inning on a 12-1 loser is a mistake. It takes some courage to throw in the towel on a game this early so I don't care who is out there right now..
  19. Cris E
    Bases loaded, perhaps time to let a pitcher hit? I'm out of my depth here...
  20. Cris E
    Position guy in the sixth? Does he even have enough bench to get thru four innings this way?
  21. Cris E
    No fear, just disappointment. But I'm always happy to see a parade of guys on base.
  22. Cris E
    OK fine, what's the rookie RBI or RBI in a game record?
  23. Cris E
    It'd be fun to get the three consecutive granny thing a week after missing it.

    If Farmer started at SS for the next three weeks his numbers would drop. So far Rocco's been spot starting him where it looks like he'll have an advantage. But starting every day means him facing more righties, more tough pitchers, fewer selected match-ups. And just clarify the WAR thing, Correa and Farmer have .702 and .704 OPS right now (..307/.395 vs .310/.394 obp/slg) so not a huge offensive difference other than the massive number of GDP, which you'd kind of expect from a guy who has been fight plantar fasciitis most of the season.

    The Twins do very much have a chance to do things: they have good starting pitching, enough decent hitters that a post-season hot streak is quite conceivable, and three or four good relievers. What they need is one more arm and and some luck in October, and there are a couple candidates in this group that could fill that bullpen role down the stretch.
