    I’m sure they do. Especially later in a game after how many different pitchers have made how many different indentations and divvots on the mound?
  2. yarnivek1972
    Because they have to get a feel for the bullpen mound, which is going to be different than the bullpen mound.

    Except that now Garver has to not GIDP, something he is prone to do. Or not strike out. Another thing he is prone to do. This would have been a good spot for Austudillo, who does nothing but make contact.

    Why bunt to get to the 8th place hitter?
  5. yarnivek1972
    I have no problem taking Rogers out. He’s a lefty specialist, period. He has never shown an ability to get quality RHB out. He definitely shouldn’t be facing them in a high leverage situation.
  6. yarnivek1972
    He may not get out of this. Half his pitches haven’t been close.
  7. yarnivek1972
    Sigh
  8. yarnivek1972
    Because that isn’t the role he has been used for all season. He’s pitched almost exclusively in the 9th with a lead. It doesn’t seem very likely to me that Molitor has all of a sudden decided to use his closer in a non-conventional way.
  9. yarnivek1972
    If the trade already was finalized, Rodney wouldn’t have pitched at all. I have no problem giving Rodney an inning in this game. But why the 5th. Has he pitched earlier than the 8th in any other game? Like I said, I just don’t like the “we give up” message it sends.
  10. yarnivek1972
    Maybe Chief didn’t specifically mention 12 or 13 man pitching staffs, but I did. And the post you quoted was him replying to that. You completely handcuff your manager if you plan on keeping a part time first baseman.

    I don’t think Romero starting has anything to do with the FO believing the Twins are back in contention. First off, they aren’t. Second, as has been said, they could have optioned Slegers after his last start (probably should have anyway) if they planned this.
  12. yarnivek1972
    Not really sure I like the idea of using the closer in the 5th inning of a 3 run game. It screams “we give up”. Pathtetic Molitor. Absolutely pathetic. Just fire him now.
  13. yarnivek1972
    Yeah, so Duke has had FOUR (not 1, not 2, not 3, count them FOUR - 4) 20 plus pitch outings THIS WEEK. But he is the MOY.
  14. yarnivek1972
    Slegers must be legitimately injured. Otherwise they would just option him to AAA.
  15. yarnivek1972
    They only used Pressly, Duke and Belisle today (in addition to Austudillo). Even using Magill that would still leave Busenitz, Rogers, Hildenberger and Rodney for tomorrow on at least one day’s rest. And Lynn could probably be used in an emergency.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Were I to hazard a guess, his low ERA is at least somewhat due to being relieved before his runners score and better relievers getting out of the mess. If he is so great, why would a contending team let him walk away?
  17. yarnivek1972
    None of them has a BB per 9 IP close to 6 either.
  18. yarnivek1972
    So are Slegers, Moya, Curtiss, Duffey, May.
  19. yarnivek1972
    Then that is poor roster management. The Twins have at least three others that easily could (Slegers, Romero, Santana).
  20. yarnivek1972
    They didn’t NEED to. Magill is still sitting out there. The MOY CHOSE Austudillo.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Austiudillo has no more business pitching than I do. Molitor has made dumb moves. This might be the dumbest.
  22. yarnivek1972
    Get rid of the MOY now. This is just plain stupid. He has Magill who hasn’t pitched in a week. FFS
  23. yarnivek1972
    Seriously? Paul this is beyond dumb.
  24. yarnivek1972
    We’ve said that like 3 or 4 times now... At this point, I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t finish the season as a Twin. Add me to the “not impressed” group regarding the new FO.
  25. yarnivek1972
    Sign him up. DFA Grossman
