    If the question is whether we're getting enough assets in the draft, Petty is definitely an asset from the 2021 draft. He got us two years of Gray.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Complete game shutouts, at that! (With Blizzards for all.)
  3. IndianaTwin
    Because it would be three days rest. Wild Card is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (if necessary), with an off day on Friday and ALDS starting on Saturday.

    Exactly -- my point is that if you've used your "long guy" (say, Varland) in Game 1, you don't have him for Game 2 (and perhaps not Game 3), so you need someone like Ober/Maeda/Ryan (whoever you've deemed Starter No. 5) available for multiple innings as well. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. With games potentially three days in a row, you can't have just one guy that's a multiple-inning (even three innings) guy. Subject to change, I'm coming up with... Yes to (12)... Lopez Gray No. 3 starter (I'm with Maeda) No. 5 starter (from the pen, I'm with Ober) Duran Pagan Jax Thielbar Varland Funderburk Two from among Floro, Winder, Paddack No to... No. 4 starter (I'm with Ryan), who goes Game 1 in ALDS if the WC round went 3. Alcala Keuchel

    A potential blowout is actually why I include Ober. In the playoffs, the hook on starters gets shorter. If Lopez or Gray were to give up four runs in 2.2 innings, for example, you almost have to get Stewart in to put out the fire and then try to get 3-4 innings from someone like Ober to get back on track for the next day's game. Yeah, I know, Varland, but what if he's getting hit as well? Or what if he goes two innings in the Game 1 win and isn't available in the fourth inning of Game 2? I don't know what the pecking order is, but whatever it is, I think you drop the No. 4 starter from the Wild Card roster so that he can start Game 1 of the next round, and you have the No. 5 guy on the roster for blowout circumstances. Remember as well that the Manfred Man rules disappear in the playoffs, so there's a much greater likelihood of a long extra-inning game where that No. 5 starter comes in handy.

    And probably also before Maeda's last one (or two)?
  7. IndianaTwin
    They have a greater likelihood of a first-round bye (by gaining 5.5 games on the West leader) than they do of having either Baltimore or Tampa Bay falling to the No. 6 seed.
  8. IndianaTwin
    Yes. Enjoy the current ride.
  9. IndianaTwin
    Redeeming note on the Cleveland win is that we get to enjoy Oliva photos for an entire day on the Magic Number thread, rather than moving immediately to Tim Teufel pictures.
  10. IndianaTwin
    Spectacular diving catch.
  11. IndianaTwin
    Twins at 94 pitches through eight. Still a small chance of the team Maddux.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Yikes, seeing this in person, I’m thinking Kirilloff is a budding Keith Hernandez on how far off the bag he plays.
  13. IndianaTwin
    I’d go with López or Gray.
  14. IndianaTwin
    This is the 40th of the Winning Ugly team clinching, so LaRussa and others were recognized. I think for total recognition, they should let him be the guest manager.
  15. IndianaTwin
    IT Jr. uses a cane, so steps are a consideration.
  16. IndianaTwin
    And that the weather is perfect for today’s pitcher, being both sunny and gray.
  17. IndianaTwin
    And from the seat that IT Jr. communicated as section 1-Hrbek, Row Puckett, seat Oliva, I can confirm that plenty of good seats are still available.
  18. IndianaTwin
    And in other transaction news, former Twin Bartolo Colon officially retired this morning at a Mets press conference.
  19. IndianaTwin
    I meant Castro.
  20. IndianaTwin
    You mean Kyle.
  21. IndianaTwin
    The challenge of a long season. Yes, Vazquez has 22 PAs more than Jeffers for the season. However, Vazquez had 37 more than Jeffers in April and May, so since the first of June, Jeffers has had more. In August and September, the advantage is 107-83 in favor of Jeffers.
  22. IndianaTwin
    Bummer.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Sox announcers say Rocco will miss tomorrow’s game on paternity leave. Expecting twins. Will they be named Minnie and Paul?
  24. IndianaTwin
    Mine: “Throw to third. They got Evans.”
  25. IndianaTwin
    Preemptive comment? I personally think it started already on Friday. :-)
