    I've got an extension to offer. It involves extending the intermediate and distal phalanges from the third metacarpal.

    For one brief moment, victory was within our grasp... ... and then the game started.

    Rogers would be for sure. Hildenberger probably would be. His lack of experience would hurt his chances on other contenders.

    OMG. Perkins with a scoreless inning. Isn't that a sign of the apocalypse?
  5. yarnivek1972
    Oh yeah. Glen Perkins is still on the roster.

    Now the big man needs a reward
  7. yarnivek1972
    Wow. Wonder if Severino is hurt.
  8. yarnivek1972
    Too early for Hildenberger?
  9. yarnivek1972
    I literally have no idea how a proffesional baseball player doesn't swing at that pitch.
  10. yarnivek1972
    Nice AB Need a reward
  11. yarnivek1972
    Need a clutch hit here.

    Vargas first to third??? Get him oxygen!!
  13. yarnivek1972
    That's not surprising to me at all. His game is throwing pitches in a spot that is most likely to cause the hitter to get himself out. Racking up swings and misses isn't part of his strategy.

    He's even had a few chances since coming back and has not really done that well - in low leverage outings. Nothing really has changed. Good stuff. Lacks command. Much like Pressly, et al.

    Yes, he was definitely beyond horrid last year. I know error total isn't an end all, be all stat. But he's had 7 in 79 games this year. That's kind of a high number. It obviously projects to 14 in 162 games. Last year, Sano had 15 errors in just 42 starts at 3b. I'm looking at fangraphs data on him defensively. I'm not sure I can accept what it seems to be suggesting. Overall, it says Sano had a 2.7 UZR/150 last year and has a -1.9 this year. Somehow, he had a range rating of 7.8 which was enough to compensate for his horrendous error rate. But this year, his range rate is -1.5. But then I look further at the Inside Edge numbers. It shows him getting to a higher percentage of balls this year compared with last year with the exception of the "even" category. The difference in that category is 41.2 vs 50%. So, how can Sano be getting to a higher pct of balls, yet have a lower range rating? If someone who knows more about how fangraphs does it's computations can answer that, I would legitimately like to know.

    The real problem is the Twins putting too much trust in extremely inexperienced relievers. Because they have performed where the veterans failed. But, like all inexperienced players, there are going to be bumps in the road. The bottom line is that the Twins needed Pressly, Breslow, Tonkin and even Belisle and Boshers to be better than they have been. Some of that is on them, because they have not performed to their recent career norms. Some of that is on Molitor for using them in situations in which they are likely to fail (like using Boshers vs RHB). And some of that is on Falvine for not having better pitchers available. Yes, some of the vets are performing below expectations, but not really by that much. If Falvine was expecting them to be substantially better, then they are rightfully challenged on their ability to evaluate pitchers.

    Yep. There's this giant conspiracy to have the Yankees win every year. Really? Unless you have EVIDENCE, keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. The Yankees have one title since 2000. Since then, the Red Sox and Giants have 3 each and the Cardinals have 2. Are those conspiracies too?
  18. yarnivek1972
    Might as well be 30. Do you think the Twins are going to score any more runs tonight? Let alone 3?
  19. yarnivek1972
    If he isn't getting outs? Yeah. There is no shortage of guys capable of multiple innings out there.
  20. yarnivek1972
    Of course that happened.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Shorter starts in the postseason has been trending for at least 10 years.
  22. yarnivek1972
    Against one of the most potent offenses in MLB it probably is an unreasonable expectation.
  23. yarnivek1972
    Two batters too late.
  24. yarnivek1972
    Wanna bet the Yankees don't bunt?
  25. yarnivek1972
    They can't use their key guys every game either. Betances pitched Sunday in addition to 17 pitches last night. Have to think he's a no go tonight. Chapman threw 15 last night. He's not likely to pitch tonight AND tomorrow. Same with Robertson. The Yankees almost have to hold one of those two back to use tomorrow.
