    Let Correa handle the mound visits going forward...
  2. mnfireman
    He blocked a pitch in the dirt and lost it for moment. Altuve had awesome reaction time, a lot of guys don't advance on that.

    The first "strike" call was outside, the second one was a strike. Kepler should have been rung up, that 1-2 pitch caught plenty of the plate in the strike zone,

    Got Bremer'd did ya!!

    Atlanta and Philly are playing each other, one of them will be in the NLCS, but I agree with you. I'm sure MLB executives weren't very happy that NYY, NYM and/or Boston did not make the post-season.

    Pass this on to the HP ump, yesterday's HP ump expanded both sides for Verlander.
  7. mnfireman
    Baseball Savant
  8. mnfireman
    Lewis' was projected as 10' farther...
  9. mnfireman
    If the ump is now going to expand the zone for Verlander its game over...
  10. mnfireman
    No runs, but made Verlander work - 23 pitches. Also looked real shaky out of the stretch, maybe the boys can keep getting on base and chase him after 3 or 4 innings.

    For Rocco? or Schneider?
  12. mnfireman
    What's going on here? Blister? Nail?

    Nice baserunning by C4
  14. mnfireman
    Another MLB pitcher who can't pitch inside. Hope this doesn't sideline C4...
  15. mnfireman
    Won't see that until tomorrow...

    Looking on Baseball Savant, his strike zone has benefitted the Twins more than the Jays, so I'm not gonna complain to much...

    Congratulations are in order for Luis Arraez on winning back-to-back batting titles, but really!?!? There are 4 qualifiers in the AL over .300, and 5 in the NL. In the AL the the #10 best AVG is .276 (Marcus Semien) and in the NL the #10 best AVG is .285 (Xander Bogaerts). This is 1968 lower-the-mound bad hitting, except that today's pitchers aren't Gibson, Tiant, McLain, McNally, Drysdale, Seaver or Marichal good. As recently as 2020 there have been 20+ .300 hitters in MLB, and 2019 was the last season with no qualified batters hitting less than .200. Different times my friends, different times.

    It also looks like Miami has the tie-breaker, according to MLB.com. If both teams win or lose today, Miami is the higher seed and does not need to play Monday. The Marlins would win a tiebreaker with the D-backs for the second NL Wild Card spot (No. 5 NL playoff seed).
  20. mnfireman
    If Miami wins today AND Arizona loses, Miami is the 5 seed and does not have to play Monday.

    I don't think Keuchel is really being counted on for the play-offs.
  22. mnfireman
    This ump's strike zone is very inconsistent, kinda hard to figure out when a pitch is called a ball once and a strike the next time...
  23. mnfireman
    I would assume Paddack, Varland, Maeda and Duran needs an inning, as does Jax.
  24. mnfireman
    Perfect scenario is to win it in 2, especially if Rocco is set that Ryan gets Game 3.
  25. mnfireman
    With Rocco's penchant for stats, spreadsheets and optimizing match-ups, I'm surprised he made the Maeda to the BP announcement already. Seattle is a very realistic WC opponent and Maeda had back-to-back quality starts against them in July, allowing 3 ER in 12.2 IP with a 17/2 K/BB ratio. The Twins won both games, but Maeda got 2 no-decisions. He did not face Houston or Toronto this season. Ryan, meanwhile, pitched against Seattle, Houston and Toronto, but not very well. He was 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA, a 7/2K/BB ratio and allowed 2 HR in 3.2 innings against Seattle. Against Houston he was 1-1 with a 8.10 ERA, a 16/4 K/BB ratio and allowed 4 HR in 10 innings. And against Toronto he was 0-0 with 4.50 ERA, a 4/1 K/BB ratio but allowed 0 HR in 6 innings. And just to muddy the waters a bit, Ober pitched decently against both Toronto and Seattle, but did not face Houston. Against Seattle he was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA, a 5/0 K/BB ratio and allowed 1 HR in 6 innings. Against Toronto he was 0-0 with a 3.60 ERA, a 7/1 K/BB ratio but allowed 0 HR in 5 innings.
