    The team is winning despite Margot's lack of offense, however his poor play in the field is of greater concern to me, and has almost proven costly on several occasions. He was supposedly traded for as defensive insurance for Buxton, but he has more than proven to be a defensive liability. However, given the teams track record, if anybody gets sent out it will probably be Kirilloff - he has an option left and has been struggling as much as Margot. Rocco likes veterans, especially former Rays, so Margot will be given a long leash (as he already has).

    What gift in the 5th? According to Baseball Savant's Illustrator option, the HP umpire missed 0 called balls or strikes for either team. Please enlighten me.

    Alacala has to wait a few more days, unless there is an IL move made. Varland up for tomorrow's game would be all right with me, but don't know what the corresponding move would be/who has options left. I don't think a DFA of a BP arm will happen until Monday at the earliest, if at all.

    A win is a win is a win...

    Yesterday's win guaranteed the split, time for Rocco's "getaway" day line-up...

    In hindsight, Farmer for Julien was probably the right move, despite the CS. Larnach almost certainly could have put together better PA's than the 3 horrible PA's Margot gave us.

    Rocco won't keep Sands in for 2 innings, but does with Alcala???
  8. mnfireman
    From ball 4 (ump missed it) to F-9 in foul territory...

    deleted...wrong batter

    First batter to K for the Twins tonight - Margot off the bench...

    Julien's and Kirilloff's struggles of late are real, let's not gloss over them
  12. mnfireman
    I won't disagree with you, SWR pitched great, but Julien's and Kirilloff's struggles have to be concerning.
  13. mnfireman
    So, are we just looking the opposite way from Julien's 3 K's tonight... Or Kirilloff's...

    Anybody, just have to report it to the owners/moderators. Certain members are more petty about it than others, they will even report your reaction to their comment to get it removed if they don't like it.

    He missed several pitches, but is not to blame for todays loss. Check out Baseball Savant, click on todays game, click on Illustrator, click on Chart Options and toggle through Pitch Result

    2 of 3 against Boston is a good weekend. That being said, the team lost today due to known weak spots that couldn't be overcome. - Ryan pitched well, but "lost it" for a couple pitches and it cost him. - Julien watching hittable/spoilable pitches for strike 3. - Miranda. He was horrible in all aspects of the game today. - Margot - see Miranda. - Santana hit well today, but made what should have been scored his second error this week. The team's approach at the plate is terrible - inexcusable to not score with bases loaded and zero outs, not advancing runners, some guys watch too many hittable pitches, and others swing at unhittable pitches. The defensive problems that had been overcome throughout the winning streak finally caught up to them - I've seen players DFA'd after games like Margot had today, and today's game wasn't a blip on an otherwise solid year for him. The bullpen threw too many hittable pitches, turning a close game into a relatively easy win for Boston. And, as seems to happen more often than not, Rocco's decisions didn't play out well while the opposing managers did. All is not lost, but with Seattle and Toronto up next with no off day until a week from tomorrow, things need to tighten up on the fly.

    Julien with the "hat trick", two of them unassisted (looking)
  18. mnfireman
    Would have rather seen Kirilloff hit there, but I think Martin would have been a better choice than Margot, the one pitch PA not withstanding.
  19. mnfireman
    They bat this inning, time to redeem themselves...
  20. mnfireman
    Miranda's PA was not that great either....
  21. mnfireman
    How much longer until Lewis is back??
  22. mnfireman
    Have to make contact first....
  23. mnfireman
    Kind of have to when the bases are loaded....
  24. mnfireman
    Last 15 days/13 games, more than just Farmer and Margot struggling:
  25. mnfireman
    But in the 8th inning its batters 3, 4 & 5, possibly bigger threat than the bottom of the order in the 9th.
