  1. I was going to type and post: “Hey Duffey, quit grooving fastballs down the middle” But I didn’t want to be a negative nelly
  2. ”Diddly-poo!” The lesser known Jim Mora rant, but just as good
  3. Nice that they showed that picture of Sano in 2018 tho
  4. 0-2 Waste one, then know what your strike out pitch is for this guy
  5. And that throw by Rosario is why you hustle every step and take nothing for granted
  6. Dobnak actually pitches in the bottom of the inning. Bam! /thread
  7. Would have been better if the Twins could have magnified LeMahieu’s dropped pop up. But yeah.
  8. Sure he is. I would probably use Astudillo as a pinch hitter ahead of Adrianza. We’re only talking about bench guys, here. Adrianza is a better bet for a middle infield replacement, but with Astudillo active, you have the elite contact skill, a tiny bit of corner position flexibility, and that third catcher you can use to buy time if Castro or Garver were to tweak something or get a bad foul tip and you wish to sit Castro or Garver for a game or two instead of placing them on the injured list and losing them completely. Add to that, Adrianza hasn’t played for a few weeks. I mean, the Twins said it was a very, very difficult decision. So there was probably some internal disagreement and some who were arguing for Astudillo.
  9. Love it! You might issue some free passes, but I think you’ll escape in good shape.
  10. I think some people are being too hard on Berrios. It’s true he wasn’t locating his breaking ball, but he should have gotten some plays made behind him, and been given a chance to pitch deeper into the game. People shouldn’t expect that lineups like the Yankees and Astros will be mowed down 1-2-3, inning after inning, game after game. Maybe a guy like Dobnak can do it for a few innings tonight. The Yankees probably don’t have “a book” on him like they do Berrios or Odorizzi.
  11. Although the poster you both are responding said Astudillo can hit, the poster was mostly building up Astudillo’s intangibles. So with all due respect, I will say “all of you are right.” And surely you can think of situations where Astudillo should pinch hit for Castro.
  12. Adrianza, Smeltzer, or Gibson.
  13. If the Twins could win one of two in New York, that would be good. And I would rather win the second game anyway. Win tomorrow, and tonight is forgotten.
  14. Note to players: Mandatory sleep-in until 12:30 PM tomorrow. Dominoes tournament at 2 PM two hours before game. Must remain loose and jovial until gametime.
  15. True, but I mean, Sano hit the home run and they were calling him Cano (Robinson Cano, Yankees 2005-2013)
  16. and here I thought feasting on KC and Detroit the final month woulda prepared em for tonite /sar
  17. I think the phrase you are looking for, is “tee times”
  18. Costas: “If the Washington Generals can push this series to four games, will the Yankees use an opener in game four?”
  19. Very hard. It’s pretty embarrassing, really.
