  1. Pitching 3 times in 4 days, after clinching a spot, seems a little excessive, is all. Should be fine.
  2. I would have thought one or two days rest before Tuesday was ideal, but all of their good relievers appear to be pitching tonight and they are going with three days rest, I guess
  3. Kind of nice to give Berrios a chance for that ovation. Didn't think of that!
  4. Ok I kind of want Berrios to come out of the game now, Paul
  5. Elvis is IN the building* * on the mound, and at the plate
  6. I felt the Kintzler trade hurt their chances, but didn't kill their chances. It feels like 7-dimensional chess to think F & L knew that trading Kintzler would put the team back in the WC race. I like you did that research, by the way.
  7. They have been a tight clubhouse all year, and I think they did all rally together when the FO traded Kintzler.
  8. Good point. Instead of "fold", I chose to describe those competing teams as "didn't make a run" and I called it surprising that other teams didn't make a run, although I think the Angles did make a good run at it, until their schedule got difficult.
  9. Subtract the recent 6 game lose streak from the Angels 27-25 record, and I call that 27-19 record a strong run. You don't, I do.
  10. Other posters addressed this up thread. I still think the word "folding" is misleading, but yeah I was surprised no other team made a strong run--although you could argue the Angels did make a strong run, but ran out of gas.
  11. SEA, BAL, MIN, KC, LAA, TEX, TOR, TB These teams didn't fold. They were all struggling to play .500 at the deadline, and are struggling to play .500 at the finish. Only KC really went in the tank. Not the others.
  12. I'm sorry, but this plays right into the Twins hands with their left handed batting lineup... https://twitter.com/AndrewMarchand/status/913233296720519168 ...actually, no, not sorry
  13. Great comparison. Hard to believe the lead was only 1.5 games lead a week ago. With the magic number now at one, the Twins have retired the first two batters and the Angels are down to their last strike. The crowd is on its feet!
  14. Joe Nathan just signed a one-day Twins contract -- however, I would stop short of unretiring Nathan and putting him back on the postseason roster
  15. This is fascinating to know, and promising, and very different from the 2009-2010 Yankee team that was taking the foot off the gas late in the season in order to get a #2 seed, so they could play the Twins who were the 3 seed.
  16. Belisle and his 87-89 mph smoke, with the save
  17. Great call by Molitor in the 8th, to pinch run Granite for Mauer when Mauer advanced to second on Polanco's single. The next batter hit a single to left, which Mauer would not have been waved around on, but Granite was waved around and made it home with time to spare. You don't see it work so perfectly very often!
  18. All the better when you consider Falvey orchestrated that Verlander trade to the 'Stros. #7dimensionalChess
  19. 80 wins! My preseason prediction was too pessimistic!!
