    And Gordon found a couple nuts too

    True, but it will never happen ... Stewart couldn't get those swings and misses in his wildest dreams
  3. slash129
    Yeah, the inconsistency has been pretty bad
  4. slash129
    Yeah, Odorizzi is the new favorite whipping boy now that Lynn and Hughes are gone. If Stewart had put up Jake's line from tonight on Sunday, he would be announced the next exciting piece for 2019.

    I'd give Berrios and Gibson their 9, and then I'd divide it up from there. That's just my hope that that Twins can end the season with a pair of 200 IP 200K pitchers. We'll see if they can make it happen. I hope they can move Santana for a bucket of balls before his next start, so that the zero you have listed will happen.

    Hoping for the best for Dozier.

    The pitchers only gave up 9 runs across 4 games, so there had to be some bright spots on that side.
  8. slash129
    Not sure ... They don't start games until October. It looks like Tommy Watkins is the manager of the team where Twins players will play.
  9. slash129
    Maybe they should demote Lewis and Kirilloff back to CR and try to win a dirty championship ... Seriously, I hope both Lewis and Kirilloff at least get to go to AFL, along with Rooker, Wells and maybe Moran.

    Until someone can get Madison Bumgarner's opinion on this matter, I hesitate to categorize said act.
  11. slash129
    It's his second appearance since the DL stint, but we only have a SS of 6.2 innings. First 3.1 innings leave a lot to be desired Last 3.1 innings are perfect. So it can be spun any way one wants ... I'll wait until 62 innings vs. 6.2
  12. slash129
    He had a really rough first inning. It looks like an error led to him coming unglued. He did finish his day setting down 10 in a row with 4 Ks in those 10 outs.
  13. slash129
    If Stewart gets another start, which I hope he does, he may benefit from Wilson being behind the plate. This could also benefit Garver, since he could get more input into how to call Stewart. I know giving games to players like Wilson isn't what everyone wants at this juncture, but this may be an exception.

    Kohl didn't pitch as bad as his line. Adrianza takes the brunt of that blow-up. Kohl should have attacked Goodrum though.
  15. slash129
    Stewart looks like the type of pitcher that will benefit from it big time, if he pitches to it effectively. (i.e. don't go down and away to righties with two outs and a man on 3rd)
  16. slash129
    I can get behind the first two, but you're stretching on the last one (despite the creativity)
  17. slash129
    Arraez is just 21 and lost a season to an injury. I don't think he's being held back playing two levels this season. It took him a couple weeks to adjust to adjust to AA, and now he's been back to hitting everything (.419/.454/.548/1.002 in August). I think they'll bump him to AAA in 2019.

    If we consider that Castellanos is probably the biggest threat in the Tigers lineup, May was definitely brought in during the "high leverage" situation. I'm not going to defend the overuse of Hildenberger or the call to use him when he has obviously been getting shelled, but a couple things to consider: 1) The poster calling Molitor an idiot for using Hildenberger against left-handed hitters must not have noticed that Martinez and Goodrum are both switch-hitters. That argument needs at least more development. 2) Hildenberger's change-up has been the pitch that's been getting drilled. I think hitters are sitting on it, and it's been the frisbee that they're looking for. He did ditch that pitch after the Goodrum bomb. Using his only sinking fastball, which did have some movement, during what became a high leverage situation, he actually was quite effective. He probably can't go with being a one-pitch pitcher for the balance of the season, but in this situation, it was the right move.

    LoMo done ... Wish him the best, but a welcome development in a silver lining kind of way
  20. slash129
    Well, if Trevor is going to be the closer, they have to base his entry media bit around "This is the Day" by The THE.
  21. slash129
    Austin didn't miss that one. TTO Tyler, so far.
  22. slash129
    To me that run scoring is an example of shift misuse ... The only thing the hitter can really do with that pitch is go the other way, yet nobody is home.
  23. slash129
    Dick mentioned something about giving him the day off yesterday, since there were lefties pitching today and Sunday.
  24. slash129
    Sounds like Gardy told Bert that his Tiger team has been really gettin' after it even though they suck.
  25. slash129
    Insanity = Doing the same thing over and over again (posting discontent over Gonsalves not getting a look and misguided discontent over Gordon not getting a look) and expecting different results. The grumpy posts regarding these two are becoming borderline spam.
