A lot of that is simply playing more. If he had not missed that week with the concussion, he probably would have established a new high in innings caught. He isn’t bad, but he is way overpaid. Doesn’t seem to me that a barely better than league average catcher should make double league average salary. What a team needs, is a guy that can rake to be his back up and this team did not have that. Maybe that’s Garver. I suspect we find out.

Great season, looking forward to '18

I really don’t see any way to substantially upgrade the MLB pitching staff without trading either Kepler or Rosario. I don’t know where the fit is. Obviously quality starting pitchers are far more valuable than solid corner OFers, but the FA class is less than impressive and the one impact arm on the horizon seems likely to be at least two years away from being impactful. Oh, Romero will probably be up next year, but I really don’t like the chances of him stepping in and becoming Luis Severino next season. -
The Yankees are our daddy.
-
Other than the pen, the biggest difference is that none, and I mean NONE, of the Yankees ever take a poor at bat. They are all disciplined professional hitters. Even their young guys. They have been for like ever. The Twins are getting there, but maybe half the lineup is disciplined. That’s a problem, especially in the postseason.
-
Not that you would pinch run down by 4, but it should be noted that the Twins could not have if they had wanted.
-
See above your post.
-
Adrianza has to stay in the game. Just in case someone else gets hurt. He’s the back up for third, short and second.
-
Realistically, Adrianza is the best pinch hitter the Twins have.
-
I don’t remember ever seeing that in a tee ball game.
-
He missed the base. Wow.
-
Are you kidding me?
-
So, who hits for Castro? Vargas?
-
Maybe because Hicks has like a .900 OPS vs LHP and Rogers has an .800 OPS vs RHB?
-
The decision was fine IMO. The throw was terrible.
-
idk, Rowson seems to have earned his keep with the in season improvement of Polanco, Rosario and Buxton.
-
And there we see the Dumb side of Rosario.
-
Hildenberger’s last guy most likely.
-
Actually, I think that is exactly the point. If he didn’t have a good one, the Twins had no chance.
-
Surprised it’s not Shreve here.
-
Ouch
-
To go along with his horrendous career.
-
No idea why Castro is hitting here. Why carry 3 catchers if you aren’t going to pinch hit for them?
-
So, now if the Yankees bring in Shreve, the Twins have no counter. You can’t hit for Granite because Adrianza is your only extra infielder. Probably hit for Castro, but, again your best option from the right side is Ehire, who you can’t use.
-
4th inning and already one of 5 bench players out.

Gee
