  1. Polanco on the SB kills my theory that he's playing injured, maybe. Though I put his bad 3B defense on mgmt a bit. They did just throw him out there at a new position in August. He's a pro to agree to it in the first place.
  2. Berrios has to be pissed. You know he wanted this game.
  3. Wow, TOR is managing like Rocco against HOU or NYY in the past. How did that work out again?
  4. The stakes are higher today, but this feels like every Gray outing I've seen this year. He flirts with danger and typically gets out of the jam. (It's also why he rarely goes 7 IP.)
  5. Based on the last 12 innings, bunting at Polanco doesn't sound like a bad strategy.
  6. Wonder how injured Polanco is? He did leave a game early last week. Suspect he'd be DH if Lewis wasn't.
  7. I'm getting TEX/TB on 5.1 right now. Genius local programming once again, MLB.
  8. I weirdly want a slow game, so I can watch more after work. But I'll also accept a 4-0 Twins win under 2 hours.
  9. Is the pitch clock still in use in the playoffs? Are all of the time saver rules of the last few years (3 batters per pitcher etc)?
  10. Larnach always looks good for the first week after callup. Then the league adjusts.
  11. Yes, if he's healthy.
  12. Not related to Ober, but to extras: Does the stupid ghost runner rule apply to post-season too?
  13. Does AFL carry extra catchers (kinda like Spring Training)? It seems like they would. Catchers definitely have to put in a ton of work at their position, but also get a lot of development opportunities.
  14. I was trying to remember Granite's name last week (for a completely different reason). Thanks.
  15. So it was what I thought when watching on Gameday: Just the Twins putting on extra pressure right after the C throwing error on Castro's steal.
  16. Meaning Gordon will soon take his spot.
  17. Sure, they may stick their toes in the water. They did last year with Kepler (allegedly). And nobody offered anything of value (presumably). I would think Kepler's history/consistency would bring more than a fringe/former prospect or utility player. In other words: you're right. I bet they ask around. But I bet they don't make a move unless it's part of a larger package. And that's unlikely. This team doesn't need to clear space on the 40-roster. There are several AAAA players they can DFA at any time (Luphlow, Moran, Stevenson, etc). Though I suppose I'm forgetting about the 100 players on the 60-day IL.
  18. He has an option left. He's under 1000 MLB AB. His trade value is low. It seems obvious what's in store next year. A chance to reclaim his rank. Besides, have y'all watched the Twins the past 5 years? They're going to need to roster at least 9 outfielders over the course of a full season. This is the first year we didn't see any Ryan LaMarre-types (until September) and I'm thankful for that. Don't clean house on "former prospects" until you have to.
  19. Farmer is a great depth piece, but I think Castro and Lewis have pushed him out already. Add the depth of Julien, Lee, Gordon, and probably 2 more out-of-nowhere utility players next year and he's expendable at his asking price.
