  1. Can we be sure that these 9 people are really that nice? ;-) "Nice people voted for the award. Twins Daily founders Seth Stohs, Nick Nelson, John Bonnes and Parker Hageman all voted. Twins Daily writers Tom Froemming, Cody Christie, Jeremy Nygaard, Steve Lien and Ted Schwerzler also cast their votes."
  2. Too many relievers that have "moxie" and "guile" in the bullpen in the playoffs is not a good combination Nothing halts a rally better than a strikeout and when the pressure picks up that fine line a control pitcher walks gets even finer...over long season a guy like Gee is awesome...eats innings, throws strikes, fools guys going for stats...in October nothing beats high heat or nasty cutters/sliders Look at Curtiss last night...basically blasting fastballs at 95-97, save for the 40 foot change-up that sent the umpire running for cover, at the belt or higher and getting outs...hitters ability to square up 97 is much more difficult than 90 (unless you're a RP running on MT) It will be fun to watch Tuesday as anything can happen...pressure is all on NYY...the Twins just get to play another game...or 20
  3. Moya added to 40-man on September 12th https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/09/twins-designate-engelb-vielma-for-assignment.html
  4. To me this seems like Moya would not be eligible unless he's replacing an injured player From: http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/postseason-eligibility Players must be on the 40-man roster, the 60-day disabled list or the bereavement/family medical emergency list as of midnight ET on Aug. 31 to be eligible for their respective clubs' postseason rosters. Consequently, players that are acquired via September trades or signed as free agents in September are ineligible for postseason play. Clubs can petition the Commissioner's Office to add any player that was not on the 40-man roster as of Aug. 31 -- provided the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing a player who has spent at least 60 days on the 60-day disabled list. The Royals were able to use this tactic to add Brandon Finnegan to their roster during the 2014 postseason, despite the fact that Finnegan was not on the 40-man roster as of Aug. 31. Additionally, all players who have served part of a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs in a given season are ineligible for postseason play that year.
  5. Any restrictions on who can be on the playoff roster? I understand they had to be on 40-man roster by midnight 8/31 correct?
  6. Once again Boyd proves the trend is real Twins continue to struggle against soft tossers Hope, we don't end up facing CC or Garcia or Tanaka...Severino starts and we get the lead and don't have to worry about Robertson/Chapman until 2018 I may have celebrated this win a little too much (missed the post-game because drinking)
  7. Just one wanna-be mathematicians view on all the probability...percent chance...Games Back If you want a true measuring stick you can go by with ZERO chance for error it's the Magic Number (blatant self-promoting link to other topic) http://twinsdaily.com/topic/27502-its-never-too-early-for-magic-number/ The whole if's and but's...candy and nuts deal is just to uplifting or heart-saddening With 100% guaranteed results if the Twins win 8 of 9 they are in (can even lose 1 and still make it) For every game the Rangers and Angels lose we can lose another one Simple...straight forward and easy..almost like Magic Here are the current Magic Numbers for the Twins to Eliminate each team Angels - 8 Rangers - 8 Royals - 7 Mariners - 5 Orioles - 4
  8. Hardest thing for young hitters to master is hitting soft-throwing pitchers Especially for aggressive swingers pressing a little too much Twins have struggle all season long against soft tossing pitchers (Estrada, Tomlin, Garcia, Vargas, Fiers, Griffin) Doesn't bode well tonight against CC We will know early if the Right-handed batters are staying up the middle and away
