  1. You'd prefer Sergio Romo throwing 85 MPH frisbees to Stanton, Encarnacion, and Judge in Yankee Stadium with a 1-run lead? No thanks. I'm sticking with Rogers. He's had a couple bad outings but he's been the guy for most of the year. I think he can do it.
  2. To keep things interesting?
  3. Way to be selective, Rosie. Keep taking those walks if they don't throw you strikes!
  4. Okay team, let's get some RUNS here in the 4th inning!
  5. WALK for Astudillo! OK, this is the Twins night....
  6. Yep Roy Smalley in the booth with Dick.
  7. Interesting post, thanks - some food for thought!
  8. Detroit beat Twins 2-out-of-3 in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago. Was pretty brutal. Time for some payback! Hope Rocco puts in the "A" team here, I think everyone wants to see the Twins go for the clinch as soon as possible.
  9. Sano has unquestionably proven himself at the big league level offensively. Defense isn't his strong suit, but the guy can play third. Buxton was really breaking out this season as an all-around performer. It's a shame that injuries have continued to plague him. Jury's out, IMO. If I had to guess, I'd say Sano has a better overall Twins career.
  10. Completely agree. I'm bamboozled by questions like "should the Twins trust Gibson with a start in the playoffs?", etc..... Are you kidding? The guy shouldn't pitch again until the Twins have clinched. Same goes for Perez. And they should both be left off the post season roster. There's no room to carry around dead weight. Give them both a courtesy start when the division is clinched, if the Twins can do it, but that's it.
  11. At this point the Twins have to stay away from using Perez and Gibby, and it shouldn't even be considered to use them in the postseason. Twins have to roll with Berrios, Odorizzi, and Dobnak - if they do advance, there will be enough days off to get it done with just those guys starting. Gaterol and Stashak have emerged as nice bullpen tools here as the post-season gets closer to reality. Nice to see. Also nice to see Rosario start clicking. Heck, everyone seems to be clicking offensively right now - Sano, Cruz, Rosario, Polanco, Marwin G...now if we can get Kepler back and get him swinging a hot bat as we roll into October....
  12. Puig stands in the box and watches.....as the ball bounces off the wall, and he's held to a single! Could be a huge gaffe!
  13. I mean, this game was as close to OVER as it gets. And now...tying run at the plate? WTF?
  14. Welp, can't watch.....unreal that it's come to this! No more putting in Romero and Hildy in games. No lead is safe!
  15. And Kimbrel has imploded as well....I think he was a good no-sign.
  16. How about Stashak, really turning into a nice bullpen piece here.
  17. Let's win this one - would it be too much to ask to hold KC under 8 runs today?
  18. Just logging on - what happened to Garv Sauce?
  19. Rocco clearly going for the win here today, like this lineup. Here's hoping the Twins bash and mash. Perez is a wild card here. Crossing fingers!
  20. Indians host Philly for one more today. Then they have the White Sox and Nationals on the road. If you're the Twins, you have to assume Cleveland sweeps Chicago - based on recent play they don't lose to bad teams. Period. The Nationals may very well have wrapped up the Wild Card by then, although they still might be playing to host that play-in game. That might play in the Twins favor, but Cleveland matches up with Washington very well. I see Cleveland losing 1 game. Twins have got to win at least 3 of the next 7. On paper, they should be able to do that. Still have to win between the lines though. Detroit took 2 of 3 from the Twins in a big spot a month ago.
  21. Rogers seems to have been, for the most part, average to below average when he comes in during tie games. If memory serves, anyway. Seemed a strange place to use Taylor there.
  22. Tampa won, Oakland up 9-0, so both of those teams get "W's" tonight.
