  1. Fingers crossed for at least 7 more innings.
  2. That's a real good play by Polanco. Huge with the pitcher up, I'd be shocked if he's not bunting to third. Put the wheel play on, and nab Thames at third.
  3. Dude, no need to be snarky. You asked a question and I answered it with stats. I'm not the one making claims; I never said they had the best bullpen in baseball, I said every bullpen gives up leads. When you asked me to name a first place team with a worse bullpen than the Twins, I gave you the answer across 3 different metrics. I'm sorry if that is somehow not ok with you.
  4. By WAR? The Astros, Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs By FIP? The Astros, Dodgers, Braves, and Cubs By xFIP? The Braves (and the Indians)
  5. Gonzalez throwing 29 pitches in the first inning, a night after the Brewers used 6 relievers, is a good sign. Get a win today, smoke a Texas team that's 1-7 in the last 8 before today's game, and hope the Yankees bludgeon the Indians pitchers, and we're back in good shape.
  6. There's more than a few of those for every team, or did you think only the Twins lose leads after the 6th inning?
  7. I didn't ask how they should have added payroll. I asked how they should add payroll now. It is what it is--the horse is out of the barn; the milk, spilt; the die, cast. Continuing to snark and complain about roads not taken is no longer interesting or productive.
  8. How exactly do you propose the FO add payroll at this point in the season?
  9. Perez completes 5 innings, 3 of which were scoreless. Brian Fantana, your thoughts? http://www.quickmeme.com/img/ed/eddd639ecae8a1466b5cb7ca38e47f20f48d3bb2b47439be5fba6919b90c3429.jpg
  10. And the records against above .500 teams for the Yankees, Astros, Indians, and A's in that same timeframe is?
  11. Yeah, that's my point--there's no way Cleveland wanted a DH today, except for the business people who want the money. Any person in a baseball role wanted a potential makeup game delayed to the end of the year.
  12. I'm not saying Rocco should pull Perez in that situation, I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised to see him send Perez back out for the 4th (barring the Twins scoring a bunch of runs in the bottom of the 3rd).
  13. This post aged incredibly poorly incredibly quickly.
  14. Seeing as how he made the same mistake just last night in a game that was closer than this one, I'm guessing yes, he will.
  15. Increases the chance of multiple losses every 5 days though.
  16. The Atlanta broadcast seemed to think it was the ump engaging, not Marwin, and noted that the home plate ump has a reputation for a quick temper and irascibility.
  17. De Aza, Rosario, or Gordon are all options for a 10 day stint.
  18. Marwin Gonzalez with a .616 OPS in 88 PA's in the second half. Time for a 10-day IL stint for Marwin.
  19. Yeah, Rosie needs to get back to better discipline. Right now he is number one on the trade list for outfielders.
  20. You said, and I quote, "Great front office this organization has." We can all understand the sarcastic nature of this. You clearly don't think the FO is good, which is what led multiple posters to point out they have assembled a team on pace to win 100 games, only 3 years after the same organization lost 100 games. Blame them for not making more deals all you want, but its ridiculous to assert that the first 3 years of the Falvine administration have been anything but successful.
