    I think Cole clinched the Cy Young tonight....

    No Verlander????

    Maybe Jax can build off of tonight's appearance going forward. I still would have used Duran in the 9th on Wednesday instead of Jax, now he has not pitched in 3 days and may not be as sharp when he is actually needed. He needs to pitch tomorrow no matter how the game goes, as do Pagan and Thielbar. 6 and fly for Lopez tomorrow!!

    Change "Jax" to "Pagan" and everybody on TD would lose their mind. 2023 Jax is 2022 Pagan and can no longer be trusted in high leverage situations.

    Maybe you can also afford to let the younger players (i.e. the future) have a few ABs against same handed pitching...

    I'm more concerned about the BP mismanagement. Twice this week the team lost games that were tied going into the 9th by not using their best BP option against the top of the other teams line-up.

    Would have rather seen Duran in the 9th inning of a tie game at home then Jax (or any other reliever for that matter).

    They got to Glasnow for 4 last night.

    This is the type of game a play-off team needs to win (especially if its in the play-offs) - the starter struggled, but left the only giving up 2 runs through 4, and the offense rallies to score 4 runs against the other teams starter. However, the BP immediately gave up 5 runs, which may have kept the opposing SP in through 6, to make it difficult to win. This team has just under 3 weeks to get things figured out, with the BP being most concerning.

    Paddack will be good for no more than 1 inning this season, if they use him at all.

    Should have PH Jeffers there, hindsight being 20/20 and all...

    9th inning of a tie game, 2-3-4 due up, I think you have to put Duran in...

    Not saying this is hampering the offensive effort (both teams), but Visconti has been very inconsistent behind HP. One time a pitch is a ball, next time it's a strike. Pitches outside the zone have been called a strike and pitches in the zone have been called a ball. Has to be frustrating for both pitchers and batters, though looks like Lopez is handling it very well.

    Runner on third, one out. Can't chase that far out...

    Megill's been on the ropes the whole game, Twins just can't cash in.
  16. mnfireman
    At least Cleveland is helping this year (so far) and maybe the team can clinch with enough time to set the rotation, rest injuries, and look towards the future.
  17. mnfireman
    They have been trying. The radio said the plan was for Varland to go 2 yesterday, but his performance required another reliever. Sands and Headrick and others have performed their way out of 2 inning appearances all too often to trust the BP too much.
  18. mnfireman
    While that may be true, the Twins have a history going back to TK of putting some horrible line-ups out there for the last game of a regular season series, even when they need the win.
  19. mnfireman
    Get away day line-ups are getting a little better...
  20. mnfireman
    I would agree except that the bullpen is still inconsistent at best. Asking the bullpen to cover 4 or more innings is not a good strategy, unless they are piggy backing starting pitchers.
  21. mnfireman
    What Royce Lewis is Doing Isn’t Normal But isn't it fun to watch!!
  22. mnfireman
    I think Gordon will replace Stevenson, unless Stevenson ends the season on a hot streak. Both play all 3 OF positions, but Gordon can (not saying should) play in the IF as well. My only concern would be Rocco wanting to play him every day causing Wallner to Castro to get buried on the bench.

    Cleveland's social media department at least has a sense of humor... https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/09/05/guardians-post-epic-tweet-in-regards-to-pitching-availability-after-big-loss-to-twins

    Almost ..... .724 to .743 = .019 (19 pts)

    Polanco started hitting about the time Julien stopped, including his 2-3 yesterday and a 4 hit game on August 16, Julien is slashing .234/.333/.328 (.661 OPS) with 1HR & 26 K's in 22 games since August 8th. As for the play-off push, despite their 4 straight wins after their waiver wire acquisitions, Cleveland has the same record over their last 10 games as the Twins, 6-4. Going back to the teams last 20 games, the Twins are 11-9 while Cleveland is 10-0. If you push that back to 30 games, the Twins are 17-13 while Cleveland is 13-17. Despite the Twins continually tripping over their own feet and not being able to get out of their own way, with 25 games left and a 5 game lead, I like the Twins chances. If the Twins can go 13-12, very likely despite the team seemingly playing down to their competition, Cleveland would have to go 18-7 just to tie.
