    His HR/AB is not sustainable, it would have him hitting like 53 with 600 AB's. But even if it dropped quite a bit, he's still more valuable hitting 40 HR over 500 AB's than 33 in 375.

    As long as we don't get swept in Cleveland, we're probably fine. The problem is, I think there's a distinct possibility of that.

    Supposedly it's up to the Twins until they start and it's not supposed to stop raining until 9. Having to play an extra game on 9/30 would suck, but there's a pretty decent chance it won't need to be played for either team, and if it needs to be played only for the Nats sake, we can run our line-up from last night out there. I'd give it until like 7:30 and then call it.

    Try 2.5. We'll be lucky to get past Sunday up 2.5. The Angels playing like the Tigers didn't do us any favors.

    Garver needs to play. Cron needs to play. If Sano or Kepler can play, they need to play. Everyone is banged up this time of year, time to stop babying them all. We can't win with the line-up we trotted out there tonight. And I'm looking forward to getting some pitching for Rosario.
  6. howeda7
    Woof. I know keeping Garver rested has paid off, but with where we are and no day games to worry about, how do you not start him a few games in a row right now? And if Cron was well enough to late in the game last night, he should be in there as well.
  7. howeda7
    I agree, though I would be open to trading one of Sano, Rosario or Buxton in that order. It might be time to sell high on one/both of Sano and Rosario while they still have team control. I don't see us retaining either past 2021.

    There's no good excuse not to call Kiriloff up. If he's in way over his head, he sits on the bench.
  9. howeda7
    The division is not in hand. Cleveland could easily gain 3 or 4 games on us in the next 7 days.
  10. howeda7
    I'll be happy if they still have a 3.5 game lead a week from now. But honestly, I'm finding it hard to even worry about. Making the play-offs doesn't mean much if there's a 75% chance we're going to get swept.
  11. howeda7
    IIRC, all started because he ran full speed into the wall in Anaheim in the bottom of the 9th of a game we were winning by 8 or 9 runs.

    Tomorrow's line-up Rocco: Arreaz, Polanco, Kepler, Sano, Rosario, Garver, Cron, Astudillo, Wade.
  13. howeda7
    Not to mention the Red Sox only other run was on a ball that is a routine foul ball in any other stadium.
  14. howeda7
    I'd pass on Odorizzi if it's more than $12 million/year. I think long-term he's closer to what we saw last year than what he was for 2 months this year. Rather keep Pineda for cheaper. And even Gibson will probably have to take a 1 year deal.

    Taking a drug originally meant as a cancer treatment can't be fun though.

    Hennepin County gets a share if they sell, but that provision is already expired or nearly expired. It started at 18% and declined 1.8% for 10 years. I'm not sure when the clock started, when the bill passed or when the stadium opened.
  17. howeda7
    If the Royals are worth a billion, the Twins are worth $1.2 billion +

    I have been a Gibby supporter. He was really pretty good from June 2017 through last season. But this season he's regressed into his old self. It's incredibly frustrating and I don't need to see anymore of it. Even if the person we replace him with in 2020 isn't any better. If Perez keeps pitching well, I'd pick up his option, try to keep Pineda on a two year deal and go after a big FA. Berrios, FA, Pineda, Perez, Smeltzer/Graderal/Stewart/etc.

    Blackburn also pitched huge in big games (game 163 in 2008, second to last game in 2009 and then game 2 of ALDS in Yankee stadium). Gibson would wet himself pitching a play-off game in Yankee stadium.

    Johnny Field. Wow. What happened to him?
  22. howeda7
    What is with the normal lefty line-up against Giolito? Does he have reverse splits?
  23. howeda7
    Is that Syndergaard for Buxton deal still on the table?
  24. howeda7
    +1. He would be huge as a pinch runner and/or to insert into the line-up when Buxton injures himself next.
  25. howeda7
    I don't see Perez on the roster as a reliever. if he continues to pitch well, you can argue for him in the rotation. Smeltzer and Perez in the bullpen would be redundant.
