    The post season roster decision was because he got the final game and wouldn't be ready. I'll bet he was told he didn't quite make the top 3 yet but they were counting on him for the season finale. Still a valuable role. Then his role would expand in the 2nd round. He may be disappointed in the team's flop but the Pirates? If that's his option he'll be back. I would definitely sign him for the back of the rotation.

    I have to say I'm impressed. TDdom is really showing some collective restraint here. I expected all holy hell when I checked in this morning. There were definitely some good takes that deepened my understanding of what happened last night (for me on DVR). That game hinged on the slimmest of margins where we get nailed by "duck farts" and they snare 100mph+ lasers. Here's hoping the scales balance out tonight (today)!

    So you go Maeda, Berrios, Pineda then you have Hill and Odo. They used Hill for the season finale so it's doubtful you use him on short rest these three games, but damn he looks good. Better than almost all the Twins playoff # 2's in the past. Then you also have Odo. People complain about him and how he can't go deep, but he always shows up. He is a bulldog. Remember last year when our backs were against the wall he did pitch well in game 3. 5 innings 2 runs 5k's. I would not sleep on Odo he can be a weapon from the pen in the first round. If they advance Hill and Odo as your 4 and 5? Now that's pretty good!

    Radio silence, DVR, Twins bubble.

    Bummer time slot. Self employed but after being out of town all last week I gotta be at the job tomorrow. Oh well DVR and radio silence all afternoon so I can be clueless when I get home. Will miss the game thread and live pint. Go Twins!

    Thanks! I do not get the negativity, sorry but it's just ridiculous. 36 wins c'mon get over it. To be honest I do not like the mindset. What is the value of the thought process? Remember worry is a debt paid on a purchase not yet made. I came to this page wanting to celebrate a second consecutive division title. SMH. Anyway thanks again TBTB for trying to lighten this **** up.

    In the past a Twins transaction would invariably leave me shaking my head; while i continued to follow the team with chagrin. We'll that shake has become a happy nod. Maybe a shake with some Baldelli in game decisions... but let's face it is easy to second guess that stuff in hindsight. Let's go!

    Another stellar recap got me thinking, is the definition of a "quality start" going to shift along with all the other changing dynamics?

    Except for, of course, the last time they faced each other.

    I read this expecting to learn something about the Twins pitching development. Alas, I guess it wasn't in the cards.

    National crews don't do it for me. Just a general Sportscenter type vibe. Local are way better I especially liked the Sox broadcast. I would definitely trade Justin straight up for AJ

    Good crisp game. Taking down an "ace". Berrios looking good. Likey
  14. wabene
    Man Darvish has some variety
  15. wabene
    Donaldson seems to be rounding into shape could be handy

    Thankful for the Twins I cannot watch Cousins play football.
  17. wabene
    Trade Cousins for Hebert immediately (dreaming)
  18. wabene
    How did Berrios look in the 1st? My DVR didn't get the biggining on ESPN 2

    I don't understand the dominant thinking here. People have complained that this season would be meaningless because of its strange nature yet they want to avoid the Yankees in the playoffs. I heartily disagree. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Plain and simple. Any post season success this year would only be that much sweeter if it included taking them down. If they beat us again well then it's just not our year and I'll be back here next year hoping for another chance.

    Pitch count? Where were we?

    I was listening to a podcast today and Levine was talking about just that. He said the Twins were built specifically with depth to grind teams down. Depth of lineup depth of roster
  23. wabene
    Grind em down

    Aye Laddie, the hooves in the fold as the Twin wolves roam the perimeter! Time to strike!

    Lookit I hate/fear the Yanks. If you have any interest in breaking the curse you couldn't ask for anything better than 3 games, Maeda, Berrios, Pineda, Bomba Squad and Target Field. LET'S RIP THE FREAKING BANDAID OFF NOW!!!!! YYEEEEAAAHHHHHHH!
