  1. Raleigh with a big dump....
  2. Miller has settled in nicely, 50 pitches over 4 innings and only the Springer lead-off HR, well played young man, well played....
  3. Kirby (66 pitches), Castillo (15) and Gilbert (34), 3 of the 4 starters they have used in the play-offs pitched on Friday. Bazardo, Brash, Munoz and Speier all pitched in at least 4 of 5 games in the ALDS, and all pitched on Friday, with Bazardo, Brash, and Munoz all throwing multiple innings and at least 25 pitches each. Their staff is tired...
  4. No, but he threw 55 pitches on Wednesday...
  5. Still a lot of bullets thrown by a starter the team needs to go at least 5 innings because their BP is overused coming out of Detroit
  6. Leads to a 27 pitch inning by Miller, not challenging hitters....
  7. Seattle should have used a challenge there, Raleigh looked safe in super slo-mo....
  8. Anybody take time to wish Gasper a Happy 30th Birthday yesterday....
  9. Starting pitching injuries, according to Ron Darling...
  10. I will only use FanGraphs WPA to rate the players (take WPA for what it's worth) Batters: Correa (-1.99), Vazquez (-1.25), Lewis (-1.04), Wallner (-0.87), Outman (-0.75) Pitchers: Topa (-1.69), Adams (-1.52), Ober (-1.51), Cabrera (-0.91), Alcala (-0.87)
  11. And maybe for Phillies fans to boo him... at home.... in a play-off game....in a series that Turner and Harper are struggling....(though so is he to be honest...)...
  12. He pitched twice against the Twins: 8/13/25 - 5 IP, 1/1 R/ER, 6/2 K/BB; MIN 4 NYY 1. Clemens hit a 2 run 2B and Lewis hit an RBI 2B in the 6th 9/16/25 - 4.2 IP, 4/4 R/ER, 6/5 K/BB, 1 HR; NYY 10 MIN 9. Outman hit a 2 run HR. This was the game that Rocco allowed Zebby to give up 9 runs in 3 innings and the team almost came back to win...
  13. 2020 Tampa beat them 3-2 in the ALDS 2022 Houston swept Yankees in 7 game series Moot point since NYY won last night...
  14. Didn't read all the comments, yet (long day of travelling), but my thought is he only needs to hold SS down until the All-Star Break at the latest. Culpepper is close, and the Twins promoted Keaschall after roughly 55 PA's at St. Paul.
  15. Make that 21 runs.....
  16. 19 runs in 11.1 innings will do things like that....
  17. Maybe its that good pitching beats good hitting thing....
  18. Agree on Martin and SWR, not so much Clemens, as mentioned earlier, his month of June skewed his overall numbers. I would also add Funderburk. Clemens slash from July 1 to the end of the season: 65/78 GP, .217/.269/.412 (.681 OPS, app. 87 OPS+), 10 HR, 26 RBI, 59/16 K/BB, 0.6 fWAR. I wouldn't exactly call that seizing an opportunity. Funderburk slash from July 1 to the end of the season: 30 GP, 29 IP, 3-1 W/L, 1 SV, 1.86 ERA, 31/14 K/BB, 0 HR, 0.6 fWAR.
  19. Get that rule out of baseball all together. The NHL doesn't do shoot-outs or 3-on-3 hockey in the play-offs , they play 5-on-5 until a goal is scored.
  20. A worthwhile collapse by the Yankees 'pen....
  21. One down... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/10/rangers-hire-skip-schumaker-as-manager.html
  22. Re-seeding after the Wild Card round is a good idea, allowing the top seed to pick who they want to play, not so much (and could be really embarrassing if they lost to their hand-picked opponent)
  23. A few other reporter's takes: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/ranking-mlbs-eight-managerial-openings-braves-orioles-offer-upside-rockies-avoid-being-last-on-list/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2025/10/01/mlb-managerial-openings-ranked-best-worst/86457919007/ https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/3359388 General consensus from most articles I've read put the Twins in the middle of the pack for job desirability, my thoughts are that the team will hire from within or someone with previous ties to the team - Tingler, Conger, or Shelton
  24. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/pohlads-reveal-actual-mn-twins-153728622.html
  25. Cincinnati did not quit swinging from their heels at all that inning, not a very Tito Francona-esque approach...
