Someone should tell The Spreadsheet the Twins will be at home for all of round 1, if they make it.- 28 replies

Holy f*** Rocco. That's inexcusable. Send your PHer up there down 0-1 because you're late.
-
Hell of a (lucky) stop by Vazquez.
-
Nope. Not 6-4-3. 4-3 DP.
-
Until there's a better option.
-
To quote from yesterday: "small Baldelli"
-
Cmon Kep.
-
Kirilloff and MAT. Maybe Buxton.
-
I already said "sure try Varland." But he has 80 innings of big league experience to judge from and he's got no history of short relief. So i dont think he's gonna be any kind of answer. The answer is to not ignore the pen over every winter
-
You're just going to ignore the state of the pen, aren't you? I'm no Rocco apologist, but his options are limited today, and Maeda did him no favors.
-
I think you're confused if have me as someone who wants Gallo, Luplow, or Sands on the Twins. The difference between us is I don't believe Stevenson or Varland are any kind of answer.
-
Kepler, career vs LH pitching: .216/.290/.356 He didn't learn much
-
We PH at the drop of a hat, but not for Vazquez. Boooo.
-
He actually topped it so bad, it turned out good!
-
Because there's no evidence Varland is any better? I mean, yeah, give Varland a shot. But I doubt he's significantly different, and he has no relief experience, to boot. He's not going to be a short reliever.
-
Kepler has legit been their best player 2nd half.
-
So then, similar to "most baffling decision in the history of Minnesota spirts." Gonna take a wild stab and posit you've never heard of Rogers Hornsby.
-
That's ... wait for it...moronic.
-
Rogers Hornsby would like a word with you.
-
If I've told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate.
-
I think you gotta try to get another inning from Maeda.
-
Just your ordinary, every day, "spot em 4 and still come away with the W after your starter leaves in the 4th" game. Yawn... Seriously, nice job bullpen. Even Pagan, after walking 3 to start the 8th, rallied to limit the damage to 1. Oh, and really great recap, Mr Birkeland.

Duran looked good tonight.
-
Hard for me to say "could have been zero," when Pagan walks the bases full with no out. But yeah, overall the pen was fantastic, and they needed a lot from them with Keuchel only going 3 1/3.
-
WInnah. It's not like Duran gave up any hard contact. Lazy popup to right and a couple soft ground balls that weren't fielded. 2 K's. He looked good tonight. And we came back from 4-0 to log a win, in Arlington. I'l take that.
