    Odorizzi has thrown 8 straight out of the zone. Some have been swung at, but still
  2. yarnivek1972
    Please tell me someone is warming up. Like Rogers maybe.

    The poor wife has a husband making at least $500 K. Many make much more. Let’s not pretend the poor wife is lugging the piano up a flight of stairs on her back. She has all the help money can buy.

    Duke, Belisle, Rogers and Magill have thrown a combined 21 pitches in the last 5 days. At some point, either MOY needs to use these guys or at least one should be replaced by a position player.
  5. yarnivek1972
    He’s not the only reserve for OF or 1B. He is the only reserve for 3b, 2b and essentially ss.
  6. yarnivek1972
    It works if Sano and Buxton produce. If they don’t, the Twins are probably looking at building around Berrios, Romero, Rooker, Gordon and maybe Rosario.
  7. yarnivek1972
    As long as Austudillo is the only reserve for 2b, 3b and ss I don’t think it is likely that he starts as catcher. Frankly, it wouldn’t be that good of an idea. What if an infielder gets hurt with Austudillo catching? Then you have to break up that pitcher-catcher rhythm and bring someone in cold, with no feel for the game. Maybe when Adrianza comes off the DL he will replace Wilson.

    That was the Full Experience.

    Well, now the foolish decision to pitch Rodney in a non save situation the other day comes in to play. He hasn’t pitched three days in a row all year and I’ll bet not often in any recent year.
  10. yarnivek1972
    3 or 4 runs here would be a good thing.
  11. yarnivek1972
    No way does Machado get to hit here. No way.
  12. yarnivek1972
    Let me guess, Always Ready Ryan ® is warmed up and coming in.
  13. yarnivek1972
    Gameday registered the first pitch of the Rosario at bat as a 53.3 mph slider.

    Game deciding at bat
  15. yarnivek1972
    I guess I would have Wilson bunt, even with one out.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Lot of posts here suggesting that Mauer in 2019 is a foregone conclusion. I think it is far more likely that he retires. He’s well aware that he isn’t an everyday player anymore. In this era of 13 man pitching staffs, you can’t roster a guy at a power position that you know will be unavailable for at least 1/4 of the games.
  17. yarnivek1972
    My recollection is that they replaced - or “reassigned” a handful of people. Meaning an awful lot (and by that I mean they are an awful lot) of them are left. Given the glaring failure of the player development staff under the previous regime, the changes made seem token at best. It’s a department that needed (and still needs) a complete overhaul. The Twins need to have the best player development program they can get because the majority of their core players are always going to come through the system. It should have been their first priority. Now, how many of the picks they made the last two years are going to be taught poorly by the staff from yesteryear? Falvey and Levine have not had any kind of coherent plan from day one. Poor roster management at the MLB level and now an apparent unwillingness to break up the “old boys network” from the previous regime. I’ll wager that most new GMs and heads baseball ops that have been hired in similar situations weren’t so slow to make changes. They haven’t impressed me at all.

    Murphy is the far more polished receiver and is YOUNGER.
  19. yarnivek1972
    0 days rest. Non save situation. Worst team in MLB. Of course the MOY uses his closer.
  20. yarnivek1972
    So, MOY using Rodney on 0 days rest in a non save situation. I’d bet Rogers can get 3 outs without giving up 4 runs. Oops. Somehow I thought this was the game thread.
  21. yarnivek1972
    He got the out, didn’t he? Give what I have seen from the Orioles, I’m sure their announcers are experts on players lacking intensity.
  22. yarnivek1972
    He should switch to hockey. That’s his third hat trick this year.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Well, Sid has.
  24. yarnivek1972
    Actually, I seem to recall Willie Mays comparisons being bandied about. Probably not by scouts, but in the fandom world.
  25. yarnivek1972
    How about promoting him to manager?
