    I’d love to see a scenario where Kirilloff pinch hits for Marwin and they slide Sano over to 3B.

    Welcome aboard! No pressure... You’re just making your MLB debut in the playoffs. Go get em.

    Pitching hasn’t been a concern all season, even with the suspensions and injuries along the way. I will still say the offense scares me. Buxton, Sano, and Cruz being red hot most of the year masked a lot of problems at the plate. Now we’re in SSS season and need others besides them to step up.

    The casual fans really seemed to enjoy the shorter season length. I did too to be honest. 60 wasn't enough this year, but 100 might be the perfect compromise.

    Today’s game was more entertaining than the first 2 weeks at least. Pretty ideal finish to be honest. Let’s keep this losing streak going!

    That will be a #1 seed in the upcoming Preposterous Statement Tourney!

    The Twins have developed tons of pitchers since Bert. Most haven’t been very good.
  8. Vanimal46
    Lawrence is the correct choice. Unless... There’s a generational talent at OT this year. I’m so tired of Spielman neglecting the OL year after year.
  9. Vanimal46
    After how they’ve looked the first 2 games it will be a miracle turnaround to get close to .500. Zimmer teams have been mostly competitive even with horrific OL play like 2016. This year I don’t know if either the offense or defense is good enough to mask all of their flaws.

    Just imagine a time when, if a disaster like this happens, they could easily press the reset button at QB, HB, Head Coach, and GM. A time when all of them were on expiring contracts, and they can start a new era... That time was less than 6 months ago. And the Vikings doubled down on every single individual. Yikes.

    The only way this season could have gone worse for Odorizzi is needing Tommy John... I feel bad for his rotten injury luck this year.

    The midwest is where Covid is surging in cases right now. It's actually stabilized in Texas in recent weeks. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/13/us/coronavirus-cases-midwest.html

    Look on the bright side! We can dust off the old Kepler break out articles again written in January 2017, January 2018, and January 2019 again in January 2021!

    The logistics question was answered this morning. We’ll be playing in a bubble for the postseason. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2020/09/15/mlb-union-reach-postseason-deal-features-neutral-site-bubbles/5803119002/

    I could copy and paste what I typed in the game recap, but I’m not. He’s been an interesting case. You spelled it out perfectly. All of the underlying stats scream bad luck. He has a track record of success, and with more time, I’m sure we would see positive regression towards his FIP and other underlying stats. The next couple of weeks are going to be crucial to see if he can be the fireman this postseason.
  17. Vanimal46
    I think we do have enough pitching to make it past the 1st round at least. Anything after that is a toss up anyways. Pitching hasn’t been an issue all season, even with the injuries and suspensions along the way. I don’t think the Twins have enough hitting to make a deep playoff run. Hence why I think it’s time for Mr. Kirilloff to come up and see if he can make an impact.
  18. Vanimal46
    Taylor Rogers is an interesting case this year. His underlying stats scream bad luck... His BABIP is .412 which is absurd, his FIP is right in line with previous seasons, and his K/BB ratio is great. Players aren’t hitting frozen ropes off his pitches. They’re simply finding holes in the shift. You would think positive regression is coming, but unfortunately time is running out before the postseason. The next couple of weeks are going to be crucial to see if he can be the fireman for the postseason.

    Catching up on the Twins news this weekend... Sucks to read about Rooker’s season ending injury, and Rosario’s elbow injury. Even before these injuries, the offense needed a spark to get going before the playoffs. I don’t see Cave or Wade Jr. as the answer in the short term, or for the rest of the season if Rosario’s injury is worse than anticipated. That’s why it’s time to call up Kirilloff. He’s rule 5 eligible this December and needs to be added anyway. The Twins are 99.9% playoff bound, and this stretch of games would serve as a good ramp up for AK. Let’s see it happen.

    Aaron Gleeman wrote about this on The Athletic. It may be Blankenhorn by default. Vargas was claimed by the Cubs... Nick Gordon is still unavailable to play, and Lewis has no experience playing 2B. Not to mention a waste of an option year for Lewis because Arraez is expected to be back for the playoffs.

    I had really mixed feelings about sports starting again back in April when there was so much uncertainty about the pandemic. Frankly I didn't have much hope that baseball would start at all when they were arguing about money up until the very last minute. It's been nice to have the option to watch baseball every day, even if I don't take advantage of it.

    7 outta 8 in the W column. Let’s make it 8 outta 9 in a little bit

    Radar’s not looking good in St. Louis. Might get dicey to finish the 2nd game tonight.
  24. Vanimal46
    As if there’s any doubt. Cruz isn’t showing any signs of slowing down with the bat.
  25. Vanimal46
    We have plenty of time to figure that out. Today's article was the equivalent of tossing red meat to hungry wolves.
