    Another story I heard was Gardy also wanted to send in a pinch hitter to face Rivera, but the possible pinch hitters Gardy wanted to use were not exactly making themselves seen at the bat rack champing at the bit. (I wish I had known that at the time.) Anyway, welcome to the bigs Alex!

    Thanks for the update Seth! I’m a little worried about Kirilloff actually making an appearance, but Mondesi made his MLB debut for K.C. during the World Series so I like the creative thinking.

    Sure, but what’s the best decision for the greatest number of fans in this market right now.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Roundly criticized by who? Big market attention hounds who were forced to share a spotlight for a couple nights?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    At least we didn’t get the 9 AM time slot? At least those of us who are shift workers might be able to catch a game. I guess that’s something.

    Because Twins fans would rather watch Yankees - Red Sox in prime time, than a Twins game, or something. Great job, MLB. Just a great job all around.

    This is what I was trying to figure out this morning

    Week 3. Vikings lead the Titans 17-9 at halftime. Paul Allen said on the radio broadcast that if the Vikings win today, it will be one of the great Vikings wins in Mike Zimmer’s tenure.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Correct — thanks!

    Shorter playoff chart so that confused people like me don’t spend all morning on this: If the Twins win, they probably host Cleveland, but maybe Chicago (75-25%). If the Twins lose... scoreboard watch. Could be Houston, White Sox, Yankees, outside chance of Toronto.

    Now that the Twins look like a #2 seed, I personally think the Yankees are trying to lose out so that they get the 7 seed. I’ll show myself out...

    Always love seeing people preach the Brad Radke gospel.

    Let me present this as a “compliment sandwich” without stacking the meat in the middle too high 1. Cards definitely have been better developing pitching; 2. Johan Santana was most definitely developed by the Twins; he credits a minor league coach with teaching him the change up and the confidence in using it; 3. The Twins absolutely maximized Viola, getting a lot of fun years from him in the 80s culminating in a World Series ring in 1987, then trading him for important pieces that brought another championship in 1991, and Viola the person seems to be doing fine post-retirement. 4. I’d say even Radke’s career in hindsight was just fine, bridging the 90s with the 2000s passing the ace mantle to Santana and pitching his arm and heart out down the stretch in 2006 5. I’d question if the Twins even did any “developing” with Blyleven. Looks like they just made a fortunate draft pick, promoted him to the Majors at age 19, and he never looked back. (Credit to whoever scouted him; I don’t have that name handy.) However, yes, you are correct cardsfan. The Twins will need a big pitching performance if we are to get past the Yankees.

    heard on the radio that Maeda is already lined up for a Game 1
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Just remember. It means nothing if you can’t perfom in the postseason. lol
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    .... ....waits.... Yes YES I AM ALSO FEELING IT!!!
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Need more 7 pitch innings from this guy
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will add 4 more things to worry about: Garver, Avila, Astudillo, Jeffers I’m not worried long-term, but we need one of those guys to tighten up their game before the first series.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I hear you, but Berrios has more playoff experience than Pineda and I think Berrios was removed far too soon from Game 1 last October. Pass on Dobnak and don’t forget about Hill and Odo.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Cave is fine as a replacement, but no not a starter, Wade looks clearly better. Same with the Turtle as a replacement. Astudillo has at least one more optionyear I’m guessing so very good to have around. I’d be interested in knowing how the interrupted sprig training preparation has affected catchers. Garver looks like he needed a full spring training to work and get in a rhythm. Maybe the same with Astudillo.

    I didn’t understand the voluntarily pinch running for Rooker in the fifth, when you’ve already got a lineup of big plodding guys and some other guys dinged up, in a close game when you might want a pinch runner later. But, it worked out. That last play! Interesting thoughts on Rosario being at second and then running past the shortstop at just the right moment. Shortstop did nothing wrong and Rosario didn’t really interfere. As someone else said elsewhere, if the shortstop had been hyper aware and thinking out scenarios prior to the ball put in play, he might throw home for the tag on Cruz. I do seem to recall infielders having made plays like that. But that’s a lot to expect in the moment. But that was all Buxton!

    I was using AB as a shorthand for PA Kinda like how people in the south order a “coke”
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    HBP Don’t see that debut at-bat too often..
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    could rival the 1978 and 2014 teams!
