    I'm in 'hearing distance' of the venue, so all I hear is the bass rumble, sometimes feel it, too

    Guess it's the night of shortstops to make some bad throws

    maybe ... I think Correa is the better SS. Man ... hated that trade sending him to Baltimore, though
  12. Squirrel
    Correa … what an arm. Best SS we’ve had since ….

    So it had a continental breakfast? Did it have a continental breakfast?

    The FO had something to do with that, too. It's always been my contention that the ones who put together the team and the ones executing the game are the primary reasons for wins and losses

    Best way to honor the guy!

    They are only half game back in the WC standings ...

    chpettit had a great post up thread a bit, showing the trajectory of Gray's career. Yes, his young years, he went deeper, but 2014-15 is 7-8 yrs ago. Are you expecting him to all of a sudden be who he was for two seasons, 7-8 yrs ago, and not who he's been the past 6 yrs? Even after he's had some injuries during this season? And this obviously isn't just the Twins. What that tells me is that it isn't a pitching philosophy as much as going 7-8 innings isn't going to happen with him, that he's not that kind of a workhorse. I'm hoping for 5-6 good innings/game the rest of the season. If he makes it to 7 on occasion, good for him. That's a workhorse. And, personally, the problem isn't that he's only pitching 5-6 innings, it's that the FO didn't construct a better BP given that's really all starters are doing these days ... averaging 5.something innings per game. I think the Twins have shown they will let pitchers go longer, but you aren't going to see an average to good pitcher in today's game consistently hit 7-8 innings unless they are the very good to great kind. And I never viewed that video of Gray as him complaining about Rocco or the Twins so much as he wishes he could do that again. This season there may have been 2 or 3 games we maybe could have tried to push him to another inning, but I also don't think the Twins are holding him back, either.

    Pairing Sands with Archer is probably the plan today so why Sands didn’t pitch last night would be my guess. Given that, I think it made perfect sense to not use Sands last night. When to use Duran and Lopez I think has more to do with who faces whom from the other team, rather than which inning and in which order. Which pitcher would you rather have face the top of the Rangers order in a close game? Then the next three? I don’t have an answer for myself, but just suggesting that there was more to the decision than using Duran and Lopez in a particular order and roles. It does seem, though, as if Rocco et al, have established set up and closer roles for Duran and Lopez, but isn’t that what most here have wanted all season? Established roles for the BP? And if Duran goes two innings, then he is for sure unavailable today. That said, I really have no complaints about the pitching and how the pitchers were used and performed. They got the job done and held Texas to one run, which was necessary given the offensive output from our hitters. More concerned, yet again, with the offense going cold. But, fortunately we won. That’s what matters most to me. Keep winning.

    Here is our posting policy: https://twinsdaily.com/help/all-help/community-rules-and-guidelines-r1/ Please read it. Primary is respect for others ... each other, the players, manager, FO. We have never once said you can't be critical of play, but if you can't be critical without name calling and making posts that are overly personal toward others, then yes, you will have your 'knuckles rapped.'
  24. Squirrel
    That might be. But name calling is name calling, and it is completely unnecessary.

    QUIT MAKING YOUR POSTS ABOUT OTHER POSTERS. DON'T MAKE THINGS PERSONAL! AND STOP WITH THE NAME CALLING!
