    Massive win. Great collective outing by the pitching staff. Get the sweep tomorrow and really take the wind out of their sails.
  2. Darius
    Why not save Rogers for tomorrow?
  3. Darius
    Has anyone else noticed the extremely drunk man screaming in the background during this entire FSN broadcast?
  4. Darius
    I don’t think there is anyone else on the planet that makes that catch.
  5. Darius
    That’s how you go get a ball, Mercado.
  6. Darius
    I hope they’re not bringing Rogers out for 2 again tonight.
  7. Darius
    Good for Cave. What a huge couple of runs. Big time clutch at bat.
  8. Darius
    This bullpen sure can make a nice relaxing evening stressful.

    Baldelli is very Gardenhire-esque with his lineup. Only, instead of some obscure second baseman permanently planted in the 2-hole, is Marwin in the 4-hole and Buxton in th 9-hole.

    These places just aren’t where you can get quality info anymore. Neal has gotten so far off the rails in terms of being impartial that you can’t take anything he writes/says at face value (even if it were well written, apparently). I wonder if it has anything to do with Dozier calling him out in the clubhouse a few years back for saying the Twins wouldn’t be contenders (or something along those lines). But, he seems to be more concerned with keeping certain sources within the Twins (maybe elsewhere) appeased than reporting reality often times. Barreiro actually had a good quote on him on KFAN within the last couple of days. Neal has apparently been flaunting how wise the Twins were for not signing Kimbrel because he’s had some early struggles (in a microscopic sample size, mind you). To paraphrase, if the Twins had signed Kimbrel and he had the same struggles, Neal would be ripping any critics because of SSS, no spring training, etc. I was glad someone else is finally noticing (even though it may have been toungue in cheek, it’s spot on). Then, when he takes a stand on some of these stances developed solely out of self preservation, he gets extremely dismissive and condescending towards any average joe that disagrees (often with the right take), like he is the gate keeper of baseball knowledge and will chooseth onto whom he will bestow enlightenment (he and Doogie are both elite in this department, and not much else).

    It’s truly amazing what Cleveland has been able to do with pitching. I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like it. Clevinger is getting incredibly good. It would not surprise me at all to see him win a Cy Young in the next couple of years. They just keep churning these aces out of their system at an unbelievable rate.
  12. Darius
    He’s having a rough stretch right now, but over the last year and half he’s been a pretty good starting pitcher. His floor right now is league average. No, you don’t move that to the pen. He’s just a back of the rotation guy. If anyone is bumped from the rotation, I’d rather see Perez go. We need another lefty in the bullpen and I think he’d most benefit from not cycling through the order. Gibson’s issue is that he gets flustered with runners on and loses his command. I definitely don’t want that coming out of the pen in a high leverage situation in October.

    I think it’s pretty clear he wasn’t doing push-ups to say “I crushed that double.” But, saying “I need to get stronger to muscle that out,” is still easily seen as a slight. I’d also interpret that as “I’m so good and you’re so mediocre that I need to flagellate myself on second base for only banging a double off the wall,” and be pretty annoyed. Clearly the buzzing of Lewis’ tower was intentional.

    Well, its safe to say Twins Territory needed that victory in order to breathe. Really nice all-around team win. Great performance by the bullpen. Excellent job finding a way to get on base and put pressure on. Mercado should be getting a muffin basket from Polanco in the morning. But, still a gutsy performance. If they can go get another one tomorrow, with Berrios going game 3, we’re back in wonderful shape.
  15. Darius
    A dash of garv-sauce for insurance.
  16. Darius
    Big two-out save opportunity coming for Rogers? Harper was really impressive there. He looks incredibly tough to hit right now with that spike he drives into the dirt.
  17. Darius
    Good grief that’s an ugly at-bat from Marwin.
  18. Darius
    Makes me really appreciate Buxton. He catches that on a jog.
  19. Darius
    Thank goodness for Mercado’s awful read there.
  20. Darius
    Really good AB for Buxton there I thought. Left a couple of balls outside then drove one to the opposite field (just got underneath it s hair). Shows he maturing as a hitter.
  21. Darius
    I know that’s a good at bat by Garver there against a tough pitcher....but come on, that was down Broadway. Whatever the opposite of clutch is, we were that the last two half-innings at the plate.
  22. Darius
    What an inning from May. Great job of settling things down. Get a long ball here and we’re back in business (only to cycle back to panic later).
  23. Darius
    This is happening. The momentum behind the Indians is palpable. We’re actually going to blow a 11.5 game lead....in less than a month.
  24. Darius
    I’ve been a supporter of Gibson’s for a while. I always wanted them to stick with him. I thought he finally turned a corner. I’ve given up on him after that at-bat to Perez. And why the H didn’t they put Perez on and pitch to the inept Allen?
  25. Darius
    Can’t wait to watch this series. It’s really a no-lose scenario for all of us. Obviously, the more games the Twins take in this series, the better our chances of winning the division. This would make many of us happy. If the Twins were to get swept, there is going to be a nuclear meltdown. Even though I’ll be upset about the losses, and believe the Indians will win the division if they sweep this series, we’re going to get some priceless hot takes that will become lore. Bards will still be writing songs of these hot takes long after we’re all gone. I’m talking drop Buxton for Granite level hot takes (the undisputed champion to date). Twins Daily will be accused of juicing the threads in order to create more hot takes. What a time to be alive.
