    Good point. Look at what happened with Erikson-Ek, a guy known for playing through stuff, was good in drills and lasted 19 seconds in a game.

    From a conspiratorial angle there is a slight chance they kept Ober up because Maeda is still hobbled, but they don't want to tell us because they don't respect us.

    Yes

    I'm not so sure about that Harrison. He played all spring with the shoulder and raked, smacking five homers I think. I chalk it up to the weather. He was fine in Florida after all. Many of these guys have very limited experience with cold weather.

    Sorry, I don't agree. I prefer it done the way they have been doing it with matchups before roles based on the inning. No closer can be used every day anyway so you the need the flexibility to shift roles. They will all give up runs, as Duran has, but you are going to need those four and then some others in important spots.

    Half kidding here. A friend recently mentioned that while on vacation in California his family went to a park on a 60 degree day. His kids were in shorts and flip flops while the native California kids were in puffy coats and winter hats. The MLB has many players from Latin America and the US born players are predominantly from the warm weather states. Since we can't get all our players from Wisconsin, like Noah Miller, we need another solution. Let's get all these guys to winter in Minnesota. Do their own shoveling. Take their kids sledding. Go ice fishing, Nordic skiing, whatever it takes. And no balaclavas damnit! (I could care less about the balaclavas or whatever they wear as long as they produce)

    Jax and Thielbar are in that mix too. You can't just rely on two guys like you mention simply because they can't be available every day. Another factor is the reason Duran got the 9th is not because of a closer role it is because the meat of the Nationals order was due up. The Twins are not going with set roles in the pen based on the inning. Those days are over no matter how many times some clamor for it.

    Have we ever witnessed Mr Ober go seven strong? This is a big chance to grab a job he wants very badly.

    The Twins have hit the skids, but now we have Bailey Ober up to make our day! Go Twins!

    Lopez is done trying hard for the next 4 years now that he's got his money. Ha ha ha that's gotta be it! I crack myself up ha ha ha....

    Yeah I think the overhand delivery could limit the velocity. It does allow him to spin it in two directions. Kind of a screwball.
  12. wabene
    Ouch, go Twins.
  13. wabene
    Now they gotta follow a blueprint, ok, I'll try to keep up. I thought they were too rigid and had no feel?
  14. wabene
    Ah whack-a-mole, sure I'll give it a try.
  15. wabene
    It's easy now to say they should've used Lopez instead of Jax. Did you watch Lopez pitch for the Twins down the stretch last year? He is now incapable of allowing a run? We have a clear top four in the pen and the manager is going to have to rely heavily on all of them.
  16. wabene
    Agreed ^^ Miranda needs a reset.

    Ugly loss to be sure, but this thread is depressingly Stribian, lol. Damnit Rocco heh
  18. wabene
    Ok now I'm on the Kyle Farmer bandwagon big-time.
  19. wabene
    Doesn't the average MLB team score something like 4.7 rounds a game? Imagine our record with that output

    The gospel of Roy

    It always sucks to lose a winnable game, especially against a rebuilding club. A couple of weeks ago many would be happy and surprised to be 11-9.
  22. wabene
    Yeah last year he did pretty well with the shortest demotion in baseball history, lol. Might be a good idea.
  23. wabene
    The pitching was really good again. I mean it would've been outstanding if Jax had held tight. The hitting not so much. To say they aren't trying or pissing it away, c'mon now. They tried and they lost. It happens.
  24. wabene
    Aw nah they're good, the question is if they are really good
  25. wabene
    Fun fact: The ESPN Gamecast has always been slow. I heard here the MLB app Gameday is way faster. Sadly it's true
