I lived there for ten years. Houston is just about as far from paradise as it's possible to get outside of an active battle zone!

Not to mention Chicago. All the biggest markets are out except LA.

Baseball is unique in the importance of the starting pitchers who happen to be selected for any given game. A favorable starting pitching matchup can make an otherwise decisive underdog into a decisive favorite. In 1987, the Twins got 5 out of 7 World Series starts out of Viola and Blyleven, their two stars. In 1965, the Twins use Grant and Kaat in 6 out of the 7 games. The rest of the starting rotation was largely irrelevant. That means that the balance and depth that is important over 162 games, is much less important over 7 (or 5 or 3).

Yup. I'm done for today. I'll try again tomorrow, but against the best LHP around, I'm not optimistic.
-
True, but positioning is not his job. Boston couldn't have gotten there from where he was set up.
-
I'm guessing that Verlander wasn't on the mound that day...
-
And now we'll use up 3 innings of Maeda, followed by the bullpen just to finish losing this one?
-
Game is now on FS1, for those who, like me, have been deprived.
-
9?
-
Correa has been giving him lessons.
-
I say use Ryan in Game #1 because it's a game we're likely to lose anyway against Verlander. Then come back (and win) with our two aces in #2 and #3 and have Ober start #4 at home to close it out.

Can't really argue with any of these. But I really feel like Lewis brings something special to the Twins beyond just hitting key homeruns. He just has that confident attitude and smile that can carry the team. First player the Twins have had with that kind of charisma since Kirby!

I can't say I'd like to stand in against 103mph with a guy whose first two pitches are two feet high!
-
Couple of stitches?
-
Saving Pagan for the 9th, I guess.
-
At least he made them field the ball!
-
The Jays' eyes are starting to have the look of "ït's not gonna happen for us."
-
Isn't it time for a giant storm to sweep through and call the game?
-
Where's Cuzzi when you need him?
-
Is that because all he has thrown is heat?
-
Jays do not have a great defense.
-
Oh well, so much for getting a run this inning...
-
That was a DP with the shift.
-
Wow! I'm glad to see him depart as well as he was throwing!
-
Nice AB by RL23!
