    Happy to see Maeda on the mound today. Would have liked to have seen him yesterday, though.

    Looks like the Tigers are using this game as situational batting practice. Specifically, men on second and third and nobody out.
  3. Don Walcott
    I think things would be very different if we had a healthy Buxton, Donaldson and Garver.
  4. Don Walcott
    And Dobnak, too.

    Clippard (elbow) played catch Tuesday and could be available to pitch in the team's game against Cleveland, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Spin: Clippard was hit by a line drive on his elbow in Sunday's win, but initial imaging came back clean. His throwing session Tuesday apparently went well, and manager Rocco Baldelli said that he'll be available out of the bullpen if needed. The right-hander has been effective for the Twins this season, carrying a 1.42 ERA and 0.79 WHIP over 12.2 innings during 12 appearances (two starts). From ESPN.

    He was available last night, according to Rocco.

    They also have to play the 7th and 8th. We have a lot of relievers. Alcala was the only one qualified to pitch in the 9th? How about Clippard? Just seems like we were conceding this game. Maybe was the prudent thing to do in the long run. But I don't have to like it.
  8. Don Walcott
    I wasn't aware of the rule that Alcala had to face the top of the order at some point.

    Interesting. After that terrible ball call on his curveball that was right down the middle, Hill was upset with the ump. But he was also looking upset with the pitch calls, and backed off the rubber in frustration a few times. My thought at that time was that he was frustrated with his rookie catcher. Was surprised to see Hill pulled after striking out the last 4 batters. Looked like he was finally getting in a good rhythm and spotting all of his pitches well. Also agree with TodderHarmon and bringing in Duffey to face the top of their order in the 6th. I think we could have stolen this one. But it's also true, as pointed out above, that we didn't really expect to beat Bieber, and have a chance to win the series today. Just need to see Berrios continue his form from last game.

    Wow. . . just wow.
  11. Don Walcott
    Pitching and defense. We all knew that was how this team would win games, right?
  12. Don Walcott
    I was thinking more like what a ghost would say to a female dog.
  13. Don Walcott
    I'm hoping this is the start of Polanco hitting first regularly against lefties and righties.
  14. Don Walcott
    Jorge hitting .417 leading off innings. Why not try him as our leadoff hitter?
  15. Don Walcott
    That doesn't mean you can ignore anything prior to age 26 starts, of which Berrios so far only has 5. And that just happened to be Baker's best year (of three good years his whole career).
  16. Don Walcott
    I agree he sucks so far this year. I believe he'll turn it around. He has three solid years prior to this. Sometimes he's been bad, but sometimes he's been all-star calibre.
  17. Don Walcott
    Where'd you pick them cherries? I suppose the last three years don't count.
  18. Don Walcott
    Just look at their B-Ref pages, and compare them by age. Baker was not even close to as good as Berrios. I think you're overreacting to his bad form so far this season.
  19. Don Walcott
    Boom stick!!
  20. Don Walcott
    Are you seriously saying that Berrios is not better than Baker? Sure, he's struggling right now, but he's clearly better at this age than Baker ever was.
  21. Don Walcott
    True, he is only 26. So he could develop into Scherzer/Verlander/Johan. I just don't think it's very likely.
  22. Don Walcott
    I don't think anyone expected Berrios to be Scherzer/Verlander/Johan. He is definitely already much, much better than Scot Baker ever was, though.
  23. Don Walcott
    Nice inning! Jose has his swagger back, like the Ace he is. . . (oops, sorry LV).
  24. Don Walcott
    Nice job, Rosie!!
  25. Don Walcott
    Gordon fails to rob a Twin of a hit? I'll have to remember that one.
