    And the Duffmaster

    I was listening in the car and when I heard Rogers was up I didn't like it. Maybe another batter for poppen or use somebody else. It is true that we have other options for tomorrow now.

    Lots of concern that Berrios got pulled after eighty some pitches. Even LEN3 got into the act over at the Strib. What does a complete game shutout have to do with the Twins winning a championship? Over the years (well a while ago) we watched as the Twins seemed to have nothing left once the post season finally got started. Justin Morneau had said he thinks he went too hard during the season and was gassed at the end. Let's see how these new methods pan out this year. I don't care about individual stats or achievements.

    Great posts! Mr Lease captures Kepler perfectly. So much could happen just look at Morneau, but yes the sky is the limit.

    Good move to come up and meet your new mates. The guy appears excited to make a run and his leadership is part of the package.

    Many people are calling for Perez to the pen but didn't we get a look at that already? He was stinking it up before his hot run as a starter.

    "We should cheer for this FO to be aggressive traders. We have lived with a long history of passivity," I agree. It has been more interesting and much less exasperating following the current front office. I am confident another move is coming.

    This guy is going to get pushed like Buxton was and likely will struggle just like Buxton. Hopefully then he will figure it out. Will be fun to watch for some and excruciating for others!

    I would not send Smeltzer down in this case and have to wait 11 days or whatever to use him again

    Odorizzi has had quite a track record of success against the @%#-%_&*#&anks so I'll go with a hiccup as an explanation of this performance. Still a blister problem? One thing I'd like to say is give em a chance to heal and let the Smeltz start a couple but I can't!!!! We need Darin in the pen dagummit! Ah ok Devin
  11. wabene
    Aye I'll have a belt, "To the Smeltz!!"
  12. wabene
    Too bad Gibson didn't throw strikes last night.
  13. wabene
    It's not as simple as that. For context I would include Hicks' early years when he was OPSing in the 600's. Buxton might just play more games this year and get his own run of 800 OPS seasons started.

    "If even one of those things broke the Indians’ way, maybe this game ends differently." Maybe, maybe....ah let's go Odo!

    Lurch may be finally getting it together this year just like we expected after his strong finish last year. Hitting 98? I'm in
  16. wabene
    Well I hope Mr Rogers has a nice relaxing break! Here here! I raise my glass to ya!
  17. wabene
    Sounds good except I don't think we want to give up the depth right now.
  18. wabene
    Well we always talk about selling high and maybe the Twins thought they were with Pressly. Well then there you have it. Maybe the Twins need a magic eightball and an ivy league educated magic eightball operator.
  19. wabene
    Perez didn't look good at all early this year so there is that.
  20. wabene
    Duffy has looked good. We've all seem him implode as well. When do we start to trust guys like him and Gibby and May for that matter guys who seem to get rattled? I guess they have a chance of gaining confidence and fortitude. Time will tell but with his stuff I do think they should give him a chance.
  21. wabene
    He and Duffy seem to be some development success stories. If those two and May can pitch the way they did last night it'll take some pressure off the blue chip fireman they bring in on a trade!
  22. wabene
    I think it's safe to say Max has turned a corner. He's has some cold steaks but has turned it around quickly.
  23. wabene
    The Yankees proved now is go time. When everybody's healthy over there we are talking a heavyweight scrum for top AL (MLB) lineup. We gotta move, man. Sign Gibby now! I think he will be easier right now than Berrios and maybe a hair cheaper right now than in the off season. I think he has more value than MadBum. A trade for bullpen help too. We need two one really good and another mid level maybe specialist type. A good starter like MadBum won't move the needle for this team like BP help. Yeah we could move Perez or Pineda to the pen but how did Perez look there early this year? Straight up BP help is priority #1 & 2.

    One for the suggestion box: I like how you have pared down the top twenty list to only those who played. Now that you have a little extra space how about having a season stat line to go with their days performance for overall perspective (for the lazy man)?

    The bullpen usage charts are sliced bread!
