    Buxton injured his left shoulder.
  2. USAFChief
    Announced attendance at last night's Rays game: 5962.
  3. USAFChief
    He does about half a game every time he's there.

    Best defensive game of the year. Heck of a road trip. Outstanding, actually. 8-2, I believe. Hats off all around. Edit: per the STrib, it's the most wins on a road trip since the Twins went 9-4 on a 13 game road trip in 1996.

    Pretty sure he's still dealing with the effects of a foul tip off the mask.
  6. USAFChief
    That's the key part, and it's only been once. We'll see, but I'd be very surprised if any postseason save opportunities didn't go to Rogers, no matter the opposing lineup.
  7. USAFChief
    Mental error by Rosario.
  8. USAFChief
    The artillery range had him over 91. I don't buy that either, measured by doppler, not radar. The 88 is the author's estimate based on 11 percent change in the time to run a mile from then to now. Pretty shaky "science" if you ask me.
  9. USAFChief
    Rosario OPS by month: Mar/Apr: .886 May: .825 June: .810 Jul: .772 Aug: .742 Sep: .400 (Small sample, of course.) Eddie's lack of plate discipline has always been an anchor holding him down. He will never be a consistently good offensive player given his refusal to make the opposing pitcher throw strikes. He's managed an OBP over .300 in only two months (May, Jun) this season, and the best of those was only .326. He's walked 18 times this season, 11 times since April. I can't even count the number of times I've watched him get ahead 1-0 or 2-0 in the count, only to get himself out by swinging wildly at the next pitch no matter where it is.

    I don't buy for a second Walter Johnson threw 88 MPH. This artticle is just someone's guess.
  11. USAFChief
    not to mention, the Twins haven't won anything yet. They dont have room to needlessly rest anyone, least of all the guy they consider their #1 starter.
  12. USAFChief
    out by 50 ft.
  13. USAFChief
    HR 2 was long gone out of any park in baseball.
  14. USAFChief
    he's been doing that for a while now, you expect it to change in the postseason?
  15. USAFChief
    my guess is its MORE likely Rogers is asked to get 4, 5 or 6 out saves in the postseason. And I strongly doubt Baldelli gives anyone but Rogers save opportunities as well. Rogers has been the "closer" for a while now. There's been no "playing matchups." Like it or not, that's pretty much the way Baldelli has been playing ot for months, and I highly doubt he changes in the postseason.
  16. USAFChief
    I didn't even know you had twins. Boys? Girls? Anyways enjoy the game!
  17. USAFChief
    I would wager a great deal of money Arraez doesnt keep that up against LH pitching.
  18. USAFChief
    Great clutch hit from Kep, really nice win. However...Adrianza's decision to go 1st to 3rd on that hit was really, really bad. Terrible. He made it, but close enough that he never should have went. That could have cost the Twins the go ahead run.
  19. USAFChief
    absolutely, without question.
  20. USAFChief
    I think Schoop clearly "finds his way into an optimal Twins lineup" against LH pitching.
  21. USAFChief
    Their first postseason series will be against a team that doesnt have an above .500 record. The team they play will be 0-0.
  22. USAFChief
    your snarkometer needs calibration.
  23. USAFChief
    Graterol has not been starting since his activation off the DL. He's not stretched out, zero time to do so. He's not getting any starts in the remainder of 2019. Possibly in an opener role, but not as a traditional starter.
  24. USAFChief
    no.
  25. USAFChief
    Personally, I note the HR record as a mildly interesting side note to the season. Lots of HRs help win games, but setting a record...who cares? Particularly in a season where there's obviously something going on with the ball. I care lot more about winning the division, so yesterday's loss is much, much more interesting to me. If setting a HR record got you a postseason spot, maybe I'd give a darn. YMMV, if course, but I think it's fair for some to talk more about the loss.
