    So, do you consider pinch running here? Probably not in a tie game I suppose.
  2. yarnivek1972
    So they walk Grossman to face Castro?
  3. yarnivek1972
    Looking to keep that 1.000 BABIP. And he does!
  4. yarnivek1972
    Seriously, is Mitch Garver like dead or something?
  5. yarnivek1972
    So, there’s no way Morisson hits against Olson, right Paul? PAUL??!!

    There’s something you don’t see every day: IBB lefty on lefty
  7. yarnivek1972
    Is that wrong? Does he not DH?
  8. yarnivek1972
    My guess is they couldn’t have gotten anyone to PR in time for the game. As LaMarre is the 26th man, he no longer will head back to Rochester. It’s funny. He could theoretically be active for all 162 games, yet he still played a couple games in AAA.

    So, now by taking out Berrios too early, Molitor is in an extra inning game with Moya, Kinley, Rogers, Pressly, Busenitz and Duke. One of whom has actually pitched like he belongs on a contending team this season. BRILLIANT!!!!
  10. yarnivek1972
    Book move. You use your closer in the 9th ina tie game. Of course, Berrios might have been under 100 for the 9th if he had remained in the game...
  11. yarnivek1972
    Castro hits here, why?
  12. yarnivek1972
    If Reed is the only guy that can get the other team’s 7-8-9 hitters out, the Twins will be out of the race by July.
  13. yarnivek1972
    Why wouldn’t it be retroactive to April 13? They last played on April 12.
  14. yarnivek1972
    So, when the Twins lose the game in 18 innings and they ask Molitor why he pulled Berrios so early , he’ll say “the pen needed work”. That’s such a crap reason. It’s game 13 of the season. No one NEEDS work yet.
  15. yarnivek1972
    Pulling Berrios at 84-5 pitches is silly. Bringing in Reed to face the 3 WORST HITTERS the Indians have. Beyond dumb.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Especially with 7-8-9 coming up for Cleveland? Reed here? Sorry. Just dumb.
  17. yarnivek1972
    Why wouldn’t it be retroactive to Friday, April 13? That wouldn’t make him ineligible for the makeup games, would it?
  18. yarnivek1972
    The Indians had not played since Saturday and also had a long trip before the game. What they didn’t have to do was face Corey Kluber and the Indian bullpen.
  19. yarnivek1972
    I was looking at my memories feed on f—, erm, a popular social media site and I have an awful lot of posts about snow in mid April just 5 years ago, in 2013. So, maybe this is simply a thing now...

    How would drafting Prior over Mauer affected the acquisition of Santana, a rule 5 pick?
  21. yarnivek1972
    3 teams (Reds, Rangers, Marlins) have at least 11 losses. 5 teams (Red Sox, Angels, Mets, Pirates, Diamondbacks) have at least 11 wins. The Twins have played 11 games.

    5 pages on essentially a non-move involving a career journeyman AAA outfielder. Granted, not all of this has been strictly about La Marre. Guess that is the result of a weekend of no baseball. So, if I am putting this all together correctly, La Marre was sent down to bring up Busenitz because Reed isn’t the only bullpen guy under the weather (of course, after this weekend we are all sick of the weather). Further, La Marre will be back in PR for two games and then go back to AAA for (at least) another 4 or 5 days. Unless there are a whole bunch of relievers still sick, 9 relievers for 2 games seems like way too many when literally no one has pitched since Thursday. Indeed, Saturday’s scheduled starter Kyle Gibson should be available in the pen Tuesday. By the time his next start comes, he will be on 10 days rest, if my math is right. He might benefit from throwing 15-25 live game pitches tomorrow actually.

    Sooner or later the weather will improve. June is the latest forecast. Anyway, the Twins will need a 5th starter eventually. I certainly hope the Twins don’t intend to carry 13 pitchers all year just on the slim chance Kinley pans out. The reward isn’t worth the risk of burning out the bullpen.
  24. yarnivek1972
    I was at the Ripken game. I still have the commemorative baseball.
  25. yarnivek1972
    Problematically, by the time one recognizes such a hot streak it might be over or such a cold streak a player may be ready to break out of it. Better off playing players based on their track record, including the match up against that day’s pitcher IMO.
