    Miranda should be the starting 3rd baseman next year. No on Urshela.
  2. USAFChief
    Can we take that as an indictment of the front office? They provide the players. The depth. The hitters and pitchers.
  3. USAFChief
    That new middle reliever they used in thr 5th looked promising.

    Turning Triple plays must be bad luck. We can do it twice in ONE game and lose: https://youtu.be/WP8uSPaggmc

    What that does is rob me of my beloved and long held "Jason Tyner, DH" go-to line depicting mind numbingly inept sports management. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

    I'll be pretty surprised if they try to make Duran a starter again, and hugely disappointed. Don't mess with success.
  7. USAFChief
    I'm assuming he'll get the start Tuesday in Houston.

    We'd all like to think so, but to date there isn't much if any difference between the 3 on offense. In fact Kepler has outhit Kirilloff in 2022. And both Kirilloff and Larnach are worse defensively, although I don't put much stock in the importance of corner OF defense. I know there are potentially injury reasons, but it's not clear, to me at least, those are the cause. Or in the case of Kirilloff, something we can assume will resolve. For me at least, neither have proven they're the answer to anything.

    I'm not sure I was ever the one on the unreasonable side of expectations. But I hope I'm proven wrong, and we get some reliably above average pitching next year beyond Duran. I'd rather not put all our eggs in that basket though.

    Seriously? The "pitching pipeline" propaganda was cool I guess, but it's long past time to give that up.

    You could try it the old fashioned way... listening to one of the 2 Mankato stations on the Twins radio network (AM 1420 or FM 102.7). You can purchase a portable AM/FM radio on Amazon for as little as $10. I doubt there is anyone in MN, or much of ND or SD, who can't listen to the Twins free. If there are, MLB radio is $20/yr, and you can stream Corey and Dan anywhere in the world where you have an internet connection. Edit: ninja'd

    Also, the offense is just...offensive. I can't even remember the last time Correa got a big hit.
  14. USAFChief
    Not sure how we lose a game in extras and Duran doesn't pitch.
  15. USAFChief
    $20 gets you an entire season of Twins on radio.

    Bundy's smoke and mirrors comes through again. Hat tip. Fortunate ending. I'll take it. I'd like to see both Megill and Lopez attack the zone more with fastballs.

    Close call, but I'd also vote Miranda 1, Duran 2. But it's close. Duran has been very important to this team.
  19. USAFChief
    I don't know, but I don't think anyone is using a spot on a dedicated "long guy" any more.
  20. USAFChief
    Heh. Detroit led Cleveland 4-2, bottom 8, 2 out nobody on. Strike 3 on next batter to end the inning...except the catcher let the ball go to the backstop, batter safe at first. Innumerable bloops, walks, errors, and silliness later, 6-4 Cleveland. Sigh...
  21. USAFChief
    Nice win, great job bullpen. But... I Really don't understand how Mahle was left in into the third inning. I don't even understand how he started the game. Obviously something wrong from pitch 1. And it had to be obvious during warmups. Pitchers aren't just randomly off 5-7 mph.
  22. USAFChief
    Well anything's possible. Except Judge or Turner signing with the Twins.
  23. USAFChief
    The only way any of these players are with the Twins next year is if Correa opts in. And that's unlikely. At best. Not impossible, but unlikely.
  24. USAFChief
    Late in a tie game, or down by 1? I guarantee you David Ortiz would be trying to pull the ball and hit behind the runner. Agree on sac bunts, although again, late in a close game things may change. That's not really about Pagan, I guess. Sorry. Terrible trade, I suspect he's back next year too. I have a hard time blaming Rocco too much for Pagan. He didn't make that trade, and every reliever is going to pitch in close games. No way around it, even IF the Twins hadn't decided to limit starters exposure.
  25. USAFChief
    No. Yes. No.
