    Idorizzi's stuff wasnt the greatest tonight? I thought he had fantastic stuff. Some nitpics on the game: the first run is on Arraez at least as much as Odorizzi, that "double" should have been caught. Pretty bad baserunning by Rosario getting thrown out at third. Get em tomorrow.

    I'll be shocked if Perez doesnt start a game 3. I'd have said Gibson, but I just dont think he's healthy enough to make the postseason roster. Couple starts potentially left in the regular season for Gibson, if he does well, it'll be him. I'd be very surprised by anything else than one of these two.

    He has been amazing, but color me skeptical. If he can continue to hit .350, and draw some walks on top of that sure, he's really valuable. But it's really hard to hit .350, and it's hard to continue to draw walks when you present no power threat. He's also a weak armed, moderately slow infielder, so it's going to be hard to provide much value elsewhere. Hope he can keep it up, but I'm going to need to see a couple years of this to fully buy in. All that said, ride this wave right through the WS.

    Last walk off HBP in MLB? 8-31-17: Chicago at Minnesota. After the White Sox take a 4-3 lead in the top of the 9th, Max Kepler's 2 out HBP drives in Brian Dozier to complete a 2 run rally. Winning pitcher: Matt Belisle.

    I doubt there was or is any consideration of Romero for the post season roster. Nor would a good outing today have changed that.

    Schoop started the game winning rally in game 2 Saturday, and made 2 really nice defensive plays that were pretty important in that game. Schoop isnt a great player, and Mike's probably right about spending his money elsewhere next year, but he's contributed many times to this year's team.

    Its becoming more and more rare for teams to start the season with 4 starters. In the specific case of the 2020 Twins they start the season Mar 26 with 8 straight scheduled games (@ Oak and Seattle for 7 straight, then the home opener) before they get a scheduled day off. Then only 5 off days sprinkled through April. So I don't think they will even consider 4 starters.

    Polanco.

    Hats off all around, but the bullpen deserves the lions share of the credit. Fantastic job.

    Rosario's monthy OPS has declined every single month this season. From .886 in Mar/April, to the current .459 in Sep/Oct. It's been a steady decline all year.

    What's false? They're temporarily down several players, but have enjoyed relative health through the season. They certainly haven't endured what Cleveland did. Nor the Yankees. And it's September, so there's no shortage of replacements available, it's just that the replacements aren't realistically capable of filling a spot on a team contending. The lineup last night was no better than a bottom feeder team...and that's at least partially the fault of the front office. As for the deadline, I called it the exact same thing at the time. They did the absolute minimum required. They banked on the starting rotation staying intact, and the lack of depth not to be a problem. So it's tough for me to give them a great deal of credit.

    Technically, he was the Designated Non-Hitter.

    When they've accomplished something, i'll trip over myself to give them credit.
  15. USAFChief
    They haven't suffered more injury than other teams. When your backup plan is Lamont Wade, Ryan Lamarre, et al, it's on you. For one thing, they did the absolute minimum possible at the deadline. 2 relievers. No starter, no position help. They banked on health, and continued record setting offensive performance.
  16. USAFChief
    Are we sure Falvine didn't call Tyner, and he turned them down?
  17. USAFChief
    It was obvious early that Gibson had zero command. Zero. Multiple pitches nowhere close, and way too many pitches left in the middle. I dont understand leaving him in to give up runs 3 4 and 5. Thay have about 299 relievers currently.

    Show em tape of tonight's game. Highlight the lineup.
  19. USAFChief
    With less than 20 games left the Minnesota Twins have a 97% probability of winning the AL Central and a 99.4% probability of making the postseason. heh.

    Team Season Home Run Record flags don't fly forever.

    How does Garver not hit anywhere in that 8th inning?
  22. USAFChief
    I'm much more interested in Berrios' next start than pondering playoff scenarios.
  23. USAFChief
    concur.
  24. USAFChief
    A quick mod note: we don't discuss moderation, or lack thereof, in thread. Take it up in the proper place, please, if you feel the need.
  25. USAFChief
    Pfffft. So's the whole next week.
