    If the scores hold up, it will be the first time since Aug. 11 that the Twins have lost on the same day Cleveland has won. August 11 was the series finale the last time the two teams played each other.

    Sad trombone? Yup
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    and that’s about how I would describe that plate appearance.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Should be doable to skip a Berrios start. Some 5.5 game leads have been made up in September, but Cleveland looks shaky.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’d only say: hitters are probably better today. 7-man rotations and I’m outta here before you can say “eighth day of rest”
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sure, by pitch count. Maybe people are thinking more of the throwing work every 5 day cycle and the mental preparation and such.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe not a few weeks but otherwise I can’t disagree. Berríos, seems to me, is also the type of personality to either pitch through an injury or angrily refuse an offer of a 10-day DL to heal back up to 100% for something. (Or whatever percent% pitchers are pitching at, this time of year.)
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Indeed..
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, Ok. Not yet he isn’t. I will still take that bet. Check back in 6-8 years.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We are in September now. No reason in the world not to rest him up. Can not understand
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well this is compelling baseball
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    And we posters have been thinking he’d get a rest for the last month, too. Not sure what’s the thinking

    Red Sox now have—count’em—twenty one (21) pitchers on their team. #SeptCallups #NeverGiveUp #DontEverGiveUp #JimmyValvano https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2019/09/boston-red-sox-active-roster-includes-21-pitchers-i-dont-feel-bad-about-it-alex-cora-says.html?fbclid=IwAR00phYgPl5r4nKQny85Ua2AFlAwcDUl6Pu7a8osTghZ2S7FanqdxCDJUWo

    Right. I saw that he had that one prior appearance; that’s probably the type of low leverage situation Cleveland wishes they had stuck with.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Cleveland blows a late lead, loses. The story to me is who was pitching for Cleveland—Carlos Carrasco. When the Twins traded for Sam Dyson, we questioned how Dyson was brought in to pitch right after stepping off the plane. There was risk of course, but the potential reward was that he would be thrown in the fire and come out looking ready for the big time. This Cleveland situation last night seems completely different. Asking Carrasco, just back from sick leave, to protect a three-run lead against the White Sox heart of the order. Sure if Carrasco retires the side, it looks good. But the risk is it looks terrible if things go wrong. “Guy with leukemia loses game for his team.” I’m surprised Francona and the front office didn’t plot this out better. Anyway. My two cents.

    Exhale
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Free outs!!!!!!!
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The other side of the coin is you have just one team to home in on, not several, and you can go deep into matchups and such that way. It might be Houston, but all resources will be aimed at Houston.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    slider!
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I thought we might get a called strike there
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So yeah, a big boy foul ball, there ... yikes
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The White Sox came back on Cleveland, and Cleveland’s pitcher was... Carlos Carrasco. It was Carrasco’s second appearance since he went on leave. That’s just a tough, tough call there to bring in Carrasco. Francona deserves some second-guessing, in my opinion. Not that I’m not unhappy about the results big picture.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It might be worth looking at if steal attempts are down overall. But, yeah. And he’s still probably our best bet back there, glove-wise.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Gimme Rocco over Francona 4 times out of 5
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Nice running catch by Wade...
