    Luis!

    Just got back into civilization luckily missing the epic bullpen meltdowns in Cleveland. Low turnout tonite. Low mood. Gots three outs let's go!

    Since you posted the same thing after the last meltdown would it be 9 games in front now? Edit:I do agree with you they should be further ahead with even competent relieving. 8 blown games between Duffey and Pãgan. Just a 75% success rate and they are up 8 as you stated. Thank you Central Division!

    Looking at the bullpen chart man Pãgan has been used a lot lately. 3 out of the last 4 games. Then as someone said what about Duffey (ha ha, but seriously)? Well he had been used 2 out of the last 3 days. The only rested reliever? T Thornburg. As was stated 6 relievers on the IL. Mcgill, Coulumbe or Alcala would've been helpful last night. It is surprising that with a staff devoid of proven workhorses and a beat up pen that was questionable to begin with, that this team is in first place. Obviously we have the division to thank for that. Considering the division they may be willing to wait to the deadline to do anything about it. That's means we could be in store for more of the same. Mcgill, I think, is the only reliever close to returning. He did look good to me, but is hardly proven. A common theme, good looking stuff, questionable command. The FO has got to be feeling the heat. I'm thinking they may actually be forced to pull the trigger on a deal early.

    Considering Duran pitched all of 16 innings last year, knock on wood, I'm pleasantly surprised on all fronts with him and hoping for more. Too bad he can't pitch 3 innings every game. Losing Alcala hurts, but there were no guarantees with him either, the depth just wasn't there. Duffey continuing to decline really isn't a big surprise and Pagan is not showing any more than he has most of his career. He just doesn't have the command of his good looking stuff. The deadline and a couple of good arms can't come soon enough.

    Gordon's OPS is 690 in June trending up. That's a league average hitter these days.

    Do you have any inside information that it is Rocco and not the Trainers and Docs that are holding Archer back? For all any of us know it is Rocco behind the scenes lobbying for a longer leash for Archer and others.

    Seriously what is the point of saying "they are going to lose?" I don't get it.
  9. wabene
    Oh ok. You called it!

    So nice when Arraez is up there is no shift and he can get that single up the middle we all know so well.

    I'm a fan of AJ in the booth!

    This is true and your right part of the fun of being a fan is going over these scenarios. Notice I said fun. To me it is not fun to read statements like "this loss is 100% on Rocco" etc. If every comment is a vehicle to blame Baldelli I will stop taking said poster seriously. Or if every post leads to how statistical analysis is ruining the game. That's just obstinate. I don't mind some comments questioning in game decisions or the limits of analytics, that can be interesting. The game changes over time and has cycles. Watching Kepler start to hit the other way and Arraez putting so many balls in play is great and good for the game. I do agree that some trends in the game are not my cup of tea. I just love it when a guy like Kepler pokes one through the shift. (Why did it take so long for him to make these changes?) I welcome some more small ball. Maybe the Twins do bunt last night and it works. Wouldn't be their first such play this year. Doesn't mean they win they game. As I read through the comments on this article it was depressing. Not as bad as the Strib and some good points were made, but the thread was lacking in nuance or balance. The same narrative hammered home. Might have discouraged more positive posters from weighing in and offering something different.

    @jmlease1 I admire your courage, lol.

    The Duff owes Kep a beer!

    Would a contending team trade a bullpen piece? I was thinking a team that's out of it might want an arb eligible player to fill a hole next year. However I think he will be due $8-10m next year in his final arb year so he may price that option out.
  20. wabene
    Concur. Might be able to get a nice bullpen piece for him and a low minors flyer.
  21. wabene
    Nice we squeaked out one, could've been worse or better. Very dramatic series! Miranda made a couple of solid defensive plays late to help us seal it. Kid could be good.
  22. wabene
    He was only able to pitch 16 freaking innings last year. I for one am grateful for whatever we get out of him.
  23. wabene
    Hilarious
  24. wabene
    Pretty sure if we're in the playoffs all bets are off and Buxton plays.
