    Not really, they were trying to win.

    He's not an abusive jerk and the abusive jerks of the world don't like him because of that.

    Basketball and hockey are niche sports. Got it. Some cities don't even have an opportunity to rack up 118 seasons. Many cities are either/or for NHL and NBA. Portland, Oregon only has the Blazers - is that better? Would you rather have 3 of those 4 teams leave town?

    Must protect is Martin, E Rodriguez and Severino. The rest look like potential bullpen guys or backups but you can find those in a lot of places.

    It has nothing to do with the Twins. I'm exhausted with people being mad at the Twins because the Vikings suck. If you wanted to watch a championship sports team play in Minnesota you had several to choose from in the last 20 years. It's not my fault you ignored the champions in order to follow the other teams.

    They're equally relevant to the Twins, which is not at all. It's a random grouping of wholly unrelated sports teams.

    The Lynx won four (2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017). Gopher men's hockey won in 2002 and 2003 and the women have 7 championships in the last 25 years. They're equally as relevant to the Twins as the Vikings, Wild and Timberwolves are to the Twins.

    The Twins should be willing to go 3 years $75M for Gray. He just put up a season worth $45M. Ultimately, I think someone gives him $100M. The Cardinals have already signaled their interest. I think trading for a starter has some merit, especially if they can trade offense for pitching. I would be interested in seeing what it would cost to get Cease from the White Sox. The Brewers might also be ready to sell pitching.

    Defense first to keep the Astros runs scored down

    A paddock is a pen, though it is a horse pen, not a bull pen. We may see Paddack emerge from the paddock tonight.

    Rocco has 6 relievers rested and available: Paddack, Varland, Thielbar, Jax, Stewart and Duran. Pagan is available but he pitched yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised to see ALL of them pitch tonight. I'm only reasonably sure we won't see Ober, Gray or Lopez tonight.

    Sitting here smiling that I don't understand any of these references.

    The same people overreacting to one playoff game were overreacting to one regular season game. Some of them even had trouble containing themselves in spring training.
  14. DJL44
    Over/under on innings from Joe Ryan? I don't see him getting a 3rd time through the order with a fully rested bullpen available. If he pitches 4 innings you'll know he's done well.
  15. DJL44
    Ugh. I think I'd consider losing.
  16. DJL44
    If the Twins lose today they'll have a .500 record in the postseason.
  17. DJL44
    Ober came in on short rest to eat innings so Rocco didn't have to use any short relievers. He's literally taking one for the team there. I fully expect Rocco to empty his bullpen today to keep the game close. Expect a long game with a lot of pitching changes tonight.

    The Dodgers likelihood to win in the playoffs cratered when they lost Urias. Baltimore is a very young team and Texas has a great playoff manager in Bochy.
  19. DJL44
    If MLB doesn't want the lower seeds to win they shouldn't put them in the playoffs.
  20. DJL44
    You act like the plan was to pitch him middle-middle. I agree, that would be dumb, but I'm sure they're not trying to do that.
  21. DJL44
    And yet they all still suck at it. The whole damned league.
  22. DJL44
    He fouled one off before the swing and miss. It's really goddamned hard to hit a ball traveling at 98 MPH.
  23. DJL44
    Julien went to high school in Canada. They were probably teaching something about maple syrup or polar bears that day.
  24. DJL44
    It always fascinates me how a player has a bad game and all of a sudden they aren't trying, or lack mental toughness or don't have the desire. I wish commenters could just say "I was disappointed in the outcome" instead of trying to find blame with a player who didn't succeed. Baseball is hard and the most likely outcome of any at-bat is an out. If these guys weren't trying or didn't have the desire they wouldn't be in the big leagues. A single game is not a bellwether for a player's determination.
  25. DJL44
    It's worth taking a look through the other arbitration eligible players. The Twins like to shop for veterans among the expensive arb players.
