  1. Tonight's win was exactly the kind of win one would expect from a good bullpen. Good bullpens stop the opponent from scoring runs. There are other more appropriate threads to complain about the bullpen, and valid reasons to want some fortification. When they go six scoreless innings a week after a seventeen inning game which was a week after an eighteen inning game you could at least tip your cap a little
  2. I'll feel less like we're tempting fate by discussing the DS rotation if we can steal two wins in Cleveland
  3. The Angels lost. silver linings?
  4. Every team in baseball has at least 60 wins. Nobody will finish with a record as poor as that of the 2016 Twins.
  5. Tsuyoshi Nishioka...?
  6. I had a good feeling about that pitch when I saw where Hedges set his target. Different kind of fun than last night
  7. He also threw only eighteen pitches through two innings! I doubt they use him tomorrow but we should have him for Sunday
  8. Hahaha like the end of Pinocchio
  9. OUR RUN DIFFERENTIAL IS PLUS ONE
  10. Maybe in a year or two we will be in the position that Houston is in now--a young core hitting its peak years and prospects to move for supplementary pieces. I also believe that a deep playoff run is going to be about the young players on our current roster more than anything we could add, and while this month has been awesome and I'd love to see a deep run, I wouldn't bet on it
  11. If you flip back like six pages you have all the pundits talking about how Buxton is the next Billy Hamilton
  12. If I put the over under for this year at 83.5, who will take the over?
  13. Let's hope for a win heading in to the off day and a good homestead. The last two weeks have been rough in terms of games played, if not in strength of schedule. We've been lucky enough that everyone in our weight class seems to lose on the same days we do.
  14. One hypothesis I have is that with runners on base, especially in scoring position, infields can't play the extreme shifts they can play with the bases empty so all the sharp grounders and low line drives up the middle and to pull side find holes the shift was designed to fill. I am sure there is more to it than that and if I were less lazy I'd look up Joe's career splits with RISP by year. I doubt it's as simple as the infield shift but who knows?
  15. I don't know what more you want from Hildenberger. He's been exceptional. Busenitz has been pretty good too from what I've seen. How many of the young relievers you cited are hurt?
