  1. 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.
  2. They have been a tight clubhouse all year, and I think they did all rally together when the FO traded Kintzler.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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!
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. Belisle and his 87-89 mph smoke, with the save
  12. 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!
  13. All the better when you consider Falvey orchestrated that Verlander trade to the 'Stros. #7dimensionalChess
  14. 80 wins! My preseason prediction was too pessimistic!!
  15. They strike me as having better pitching too (but don't know for sure)
  16. btw The game thread needs to go to 2,000 for that Wildcard game (knock on wood)
  17. Way to go Goodrum letting Detroit back in the game #notReally
  18. Texas is up in their game. If they win, they will pull even with LA, at 2.5 games behind the Twins. I can't believe I just typed that.
  19. I always said they should have hired Gardy prior to 2016
  20. So true. Oh well http://mymodernmet.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/archive/SLlm29yU-cu0YM9QoC5L_1082138504.jpeg
  21. Great ballgame. Just what they needed today.
  22. Slept on it. Still am disappointed. 40% of our rotation consists of guys who have no stamina to go six innings and usually need to be pulled between the 3rd or 5th inning, another 20% of our rotation consists of Kyle Gibson, and the other 40% are good pitchers who are not getting wins right now, when wins are all that matter. Gonna be a bumpy ride.
  23. Really disappointing. We needed Colon to pitch a good game today but he did his usual thing.
