    I've been saying that all year. However, you can't let it cost you games at this point. My usual disagreement is not having Kepler START vs LHP. I actually have no problem pinch hitting for him there.
  2. yarnivek1972
    Note that the NL team isn't bunting.
  3. yarnivek1972
    I guess I haven't looked at splits in awhile. Last I looked, Ehire was better vs RHP.
  4. yarnivek1972
    So, Kepler, Adrianza, Vargas, Garver or Giminez? Garver's probably the best statistical option.
  5. yarnivek1972
    I didn't think so. He looked clearly on the bag when Myers' glove moves with the impact of the ball.
  6. yarnivek1972
    I'm sure they know it. But it kinda defies conventional wisdom. I know he's not an extreme sidearmer like Tekulve, Eichhorn or Frohwirth, but those guys all killed RHB.
  7. yarnivek1972
    It is wierd that Hildenberger has reverse splits. Righties are hitting him much better than lefties. That's the third HR he has allowed to a RHB in fewer than 100 PA.

    Surprised Escobar didn't bunt. Castro should definitely be.
  10. yarnivek1972
    Here comes another ******* bunt
  11. yarnivek1972
    Post 1986, you can probably count on one hand the number of times Kirby Puckett was asked to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Not saying Polanco is Kirby, but he is the third place hitter and this at least the third time he has bunted this MONTH.
  12. yarnivek1972
    That bunt I did not like. Polanco is arguably your best hitter right now. He needs to be swinging.
  13. yarnivek1972
    Just to repeat. .900 OPS third time through for Lamet.
  14. yarnivek1972
    At normal speed, I thought it hit off his foot too. On replay, it certainly isn't conclusive.
  15. yarnivek1972
    Either my hearing or Bremer's is going. I thought I heard two ticks on the replay.
  16. yarnivek1972
    Given Lamet's splits, I don't hate the idea. Don't love it in the 4th. But it's certainly not the worst situation the Twins have tried to bunt in this week.
  17. yarnivek1972
    That would be my guess. You expect Polanco to make contact. That's his game. That's why you start Mauer. He should be swinging because the pitch was a strike anyway.
  18. yarnivek1972
    Given the choice, I'd prefer Moustakas over Hosmer. Clearly, the Twins need a plan B at third. Miguel Sano has not started even 80 games there this year. Escobar has filled in admirably, but I really have a hard time beliving he is a .766 OPS, almost 20 HR guy - if he finishes that high, it would be a career best. He's certainly not the 1.100 OPS guy that we've seen in September.
  19. yarnivek1972
    Hmm, Bremer was just saying that Erv only has 3 starts left. Doesn't he have to start one more? He said his last scheduled start is Saturday, Sept 23. He could start the 28th with Mejia (or perhaps Colon) being skipped. Or the 29th on extra rest. But if he starts on the 29th, he would be on short rest for the Wild Card game scheduled for Oct 3. Edit: Never mind. I can't count tonight I guess.
  20. yarnivek1972
    Fortunately made moot.
  21. yarnivek1972
    Again Rosario with a head scratcher on the bases. If Rosario is on second base and the ball goes over the center fielder's head, he walks home.
  22. yarnivek1972
    No worries. We got a guy out there (as Torii would say).
  23. yarnivek1972
    Big pitch here.
  24. yarnivek1972
    Probably why Lamet is averaging 5 1/3 IP per start. He's dominant the first time. Still pretty good the second time, but not quite as dominant. After the second time, forget about it. .902 OPS third time around.

    Mauer = putout hog
