    So with our starters that can only pitch 5 innings and all of our hitters leading the league in strikeouts we can look forward to another first round exit next year too? I mean the sky isn't falling, but like a bad earthquake I think the ground may be crumbling underneath.

    Baseball IQ would stem from the top.

    I actually know a couple of guys who have pitched in the majors. One of them had that exact argument with his manager after a game because yes these guys throw stuff like changeups that dive away from left handed hitters as out pitches and they get weak contact and the shifts do not play well in those situations. Guys like Rogers throw sliders that move a lot and hit off of the ends of bats etc..... And then these guys hit 0 - 2 pitches that would normally be outs and they get weak hits. Twins guys strike out, the shift works great on strike outs but the guys who put the ball in play beat the shifts a lot.

    Nice shift. Double play
  5. Twodogs
    But they shouldn't be swinging at stuff outside of the strike zone but with this guy they feel like they have to.
  6. Twodogs
    I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait until they have robo strike zone. Get these clowns out of here.

    Ballgame

    Springer kept yelling at the ump for about 5 min in the dugout. I don't care if Rosario gets run had Springer got run too. But you can't let Springer do what he did and then run Rosario. That's BS
  9. Twodogs
    You can't completely shift with a guy on 2nd?? Otherwise he's on 3rd.
  10. Twodogs
    I agree, plus most of the balls hit into the shifts would have been caught by the regular player anyway.
  11. Twodogs
    The shifts have been working so well.

    So are they just giving up? Buxton on the bench? I mean cruz has been slumping too, he didn't get benched? Buxton is the most dynamic player on the team speed wise and defensively. IDK, doesn't make much sense to me to start a guy who hasn't played in a real game all year?
  13. Twodogs
    Insignificant RBI by Rosario right there.
  14. Twodogs
    Buxton is reported to have mild concussion symptoms. Looks bad, who knows about Donaldson.
  15. Twodogs
    I don't know why anyone would ever throw Sano a fastball anymore. Ever
  16. Twodogs
    All these strike outs is getting really boring
  17. Twodogs
    Yeah I was thinking the same thing, seems like they could have found someone else to drop off the 40 man to keep Baily around just in case you need him in the playoffs?
  18. Twodogs
    It would be nice to see Cruz go on another tear right now like at the beginning of the season.
  19. Twodogs
    On the flip side however, there is a lot less meaningless baseball the last 2 - 3 weeks of the season. In the National league I think just about everyone was still in it up to about 3 - 4 days ago.
  20. Twodogs
    Go Hand.

    Have to be a cleveland fan for today!
  22. Twodogs
    Rosario won that game tonight!
  23. Twodogs
    Maybe the Dodgers are preaching a pitch to contact method unless the strikeout is absolutely needed?? I noticed that Dustin May throws 100 but only has 34 K's in 47 innings?? You'd think a guy with as much swing and miss stuff as Dustin May has that he'd K a few more people?
  24. Twodogs
    Well I don't know, but a guy like Kyle Hendricks doesn't blow people away, but he is one of the better pitchers in MLB as of today and he has been near the top for quite some time. Fact is, because he doesn't rely on Velo he might last longer than many of the pitchers who do. But we are talking about Dobnak. So far he has been a pleasant surprise, but I think the Twins have better options for the rotation for the current playoffs as long as guys are healthy. I think Dobnak could be a long guy in the bp for when a game gets out of control. However, Dobnak could be a decent pitcher going forward, he could be great like a Kuechel or a Hendricks or he could just be an ok back end dude, or he could stink. But that pretty much sums up every pitcher in the organization high velo or not. So only way to find out is by pitching him and see how he shakes out. I think next year he could be a 5th guy and go from there.
  25. Twodogs
    I hope he doesn't have any real serious health issues, it's different that someone would retire with only a week left in the season. Hope he is ok.
