    That's a GIDP if the Twins are playing normally, instead of "double play depth" with the SS pinched up the middle.

    It's good to care about the result of a Twins game in mid August, no? Hope to keep that up.

    I think it's pretty much guaranteed that Mauer managing Mauer will result in uncomfortable situations for both of them, and be a subject of constant discussion. Not my team, but I wouldn't do that. Too much potential for trouble, inside and outside the organization.

    But that's my point...When May, Burdi, and Chargois are "3 of the top 5" you're in trouble before the season even starts. May had trouble the previous season, and it borders on malpractice to count on two guys with both little-to-no MLB experience and injury histories. I've been hearing about how Burdi et al are the bullpen fix since the day they were drafted. Build a pen, and let minor leaguers like that force their way in, or at worst, be among those considered for the inevitable injuries and/or ineffectiveness in the big league pen. Nobody ever suffered from having too many good options.

    concur. The argument "don't sign these guys because they might not be good, or might get injured. Let's instead hope these other guys become good, and don't get injured" doesn't make much sense to me.

    "I would again advocate in the upcoming offseason that they not go crazy on bullpen arms in free agency. Maybe one veteran on a one-year, low cost, low risk deal, and a couple more minor league signings. That’s it." That sounds to me like a recipe for another weak bullpen in 2018. I hope that's not the off season plan.

    As someone who felt Rosario was a good 4th outfielder earlier this season, I certainly am will h to admit he has looked like a legit starter for months now. And personally, I don't pay any attention to defensive metrics, so that isn't going to sway me. It's more the sometimes goofy decisions than defensive ability, IMO, and that can be fixed. He's got plenty of range and arm. Here's hoping he continues to improve as a hitter.

    Nice win. Bounce back from yesterday, and bounce back from coughing up a 4-0 lead. Add a bullpen arm or two by Tuesday, Falvine. And bring Verlander back on the plane.
  9. USAFChief
    No.
  10. USAFChief
    Nice pitch, Hildy.

    Twice in a row Adrianza costs a stolen base.

    Buxton bails out Molitor with a base hit

    Stew...with all due respect...for me this answer sort of epitomizes why many of us have lost respect for what MLB wants from official scorers. Because you essentially just said "that's a throw he should make, but he didn't." That's an error.

    86-87.
  15. USAFChief
    They have an 8 man pen. It didn't have to be Belisle.
  16. USAFChief
    He shouldn't have been sent out for the 9th today. It was obvious in the 8th he had nothing.
  17. USAFChief
    Belisle was lucky to get through one hitter in the 8th. He had nothing, that was obvious. Molitor can't just send him out there anyway.
  18. USAFChief
  19. USAFChief
    Yeah...when Belisle came out in the 8th throwing 86, you can't send him back out for the 9th.
  20. USAFChief
    Who's left in the pen?
  21. USAFChief
    Belisle throwing 86-87
  22. USAFChief
    in play, out(s) please.
  23. USAFChief
    a couple runs here wouldn't suck
  24. USAFChief
    Belisle looks pretty hittable.
  25. USAFChief
    What would you have done differently?
