    No major league 2B catches that ball....

    I like this statement 👍 and it made me laugh 😂, but some people don't like the TD emojis...
  3. mnfireman
    They have a AAAA team out there right now.....no Buxton, Kepler, Lewis, Julien or Larnach

    Well, no defensive help tonight...

    See ball, hit ball See ball, catch ball Catch ball, throw ball It's a simple game

    No. I am not a fan of today's pitch count, but that is what todays pitchers are acclimated to, so Ober was ready to come out. Push him further and who knows how many starts it takes him to reset.

    Since some people have an issue with thumbs down or other emojis that disagree with their posts, so I will disagree, laugh, and roll eyes with this statement. If pressed further, I will present evidence that disagrees with your statement, but the statement itself is its own argument.

    Varsho's 10 pitch PA did him in - 104 pitches on the day...

    Alcala can't be recalled before the 18th unless there is an injury - 10 day rule. Varland started Thursday, he is probably scheduled for a BP session today, so calling him up for a few days could be an idea. Regarding Topa, I think he will pitch this season, I just don't know when. It would be a bad look for the team and medical staff if neither DeSclafini nor Topa, both acquired in the same trade, did not pitch for the team this year.

    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...
  15. mnfireman
    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.
  16. mnfireman
    Rocco won't keep Sands in for 2 innings, but does with Alcala???
  17. mnfireman
    From ball 4 (ump missed it) to F-9 in foul territory...
  18. mnfireman
    deleted...wrong batter
  19. mnfireman
    First batter to K for the Twins tonight - Margot off the bench...
  20. mnfireman
    Julien's and Kirilloff's struggles of late are real, let's not gloss over them
  21. mnfireman
    I won't disagree with you, SWR pitched great, but Julien's and Kirilloff's struggles have to be concerning.
  22. mnfireman
    So, are we just looking the opposite way from Julien's 3 K's tonight... Or Kirilloff's...
  23. mnfireman
    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.
