Next time someone tries to tell you velocity isn't important, show them this inning. Then take him to BBRef and show him Betances' K rate. -
Not so much terrible as "overpowered."
-
Nice job Fien. I like the agressivness, and I like the 95-96.
-
I bet If Betances was with the Twins org, he'd still be a starter, struggling along with great stuff but poor results.
-
Is it wrong I'm terrified of an 0-2 count?
-
TD is filled with fine, right-thinking Americans. And Canucks, come to think of it.
-
The problem isn't so much choosing Duensing, IMO. The problem is the lack of palatable choices. And that's on the GM, and has been all. friggin. season. For the record, if you were happy TR didn't "trade away the farm" at the deadline, you probably shouldn't be complaining about the bullpen today.
-
I think McCann has thown out more runners tonight than Suzuki has thrown out all year. I'm only half kidding.

Well, what's been reported is that Toronto tried for months to get Colorado to TAKE Reyes, and Colorado finally relented. We also know, if MLBTR can be trusted, that no team put in a claim on Reyes when he went on waivers this month, apparently fearing Colorado would dump him on them for nothing. So yeah, as much as we can know anything about MLB trades, we know Tulo went pretty cheaply, and we know Colorado took back a lot of salary on a player no other team wants.
-
We also know how much Toronto ended up spending to get Tulowitski. And we know Colorado ended up taking back Reyes, who they didn't want, and who has, according to MLBTraderumors, sailed through waivers without a single team willing to risk getting stuck with him. So yeah...Gibson plus a couple minor leaguers, not including Sano, and not having to take back salary, seems like it would've been in Colorado's zone of expected return.

Well, tonight went well. Duffey on short rest Saturday sounds promising, too.
-
It was all too predictable, too. Nothing like a GUARANTEED short start, with a bad bullpen, to set up a weekend series. Just so we all know ahead of time, Duffey is on short rest tomorrow, too. Well played, Mr Ryan.
-
One, by my count, if Perkins still qualifies.
-
I The proof is in the pudding. ..who wasn't absolutely thrilled with having Robinson lead off the 9th today, down a run? Honestly, if this was 1968, and teams carried 5 outfielders, this might be explained away. But it isn't.

Article: Coming Soon: Jose Berrios
USAFChief replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
May has never gone more than 2 IP since moving to the pen. The last time he went more than 1 inning was July 22nd. That ship has sailed for 2015, I think. Btw, he hasn't been scored on since that last 2 inning outing, his WHIP is down as a reliever over starter by more than .1, and his K/BB has doubled. He's been 96 or better every outing. I would give serious consideration to letting him stay in the pen. -
That's a fair point, and I think we all can have legitimate hope for a return to something better than this, too. But it's a problem, and potentially a big one, in the not distant future.
-
I know, right? To be fair, though, ain't been a lot of chances to work on that lately.
-
Winnah!
-
man, is it just me, or did it just get cold in here?

famous last words, old guy edition:
-
Also, the "one of western Michigan's finest golf course" was a setup line, amiright?
-
Hummels? Mrs Chief'll be scouring the wash by daylight. Perhaps earlier with a flashlight.
-
Sano...strong, like bull.
-
Good news, bad news situation, 'bombo. Yes, seen it about 30 minutes ago, headed down the Pantano at about 15 knots. But it ain't 14x70 no more.
-
That was our primary target on a raid in '68. Too much flak, though, so we leveled a rice factory near Haiphong.
