Yeah, late, haven't read all the comments so I'm going to ask: Am I the only one who wasn't really worried when the Tigres went up by 5 in the first?

From what I was reading early on in the thread, possibly.

Dylan Gee is really impressing me. This doesn't look like a washed up pitcher at all.

Not happy but I knew there was a lot of game left.

Sometimes, you feel like you could hit 19 and catch a 2.

When you hot you hot! (Is that ebonics?)

By the way, can anyone on the Tigers run any more? Other than Kinsler? Some of the guys they've got out there look a bit gimpy.

D-d-dang, Sano fired that into the ground on purpose, didn't he? Three great defensive plays in a row. This is how good teams play. 

Mauer! I was already cussing that one falling in a hole. Mauer actually found another gear for a few steps, then re-grabbed that ball. What  an athlete.

 

I'm not sure Mauer's defense completely makes up for his offensive lackings (notwithstanding the last couple of games), but man, we would not be where we are at without it. I don't know what the stats say, but I don't think there currently is a better 1st baseman, defensively speaking.

And we want Sano at 1st why?

 

He can be borderline spectacular at the hot corner.

 

 

And the Tigres current pitcher has an ERA of 15+

I hope I don't jinx him, but he's been a godsend to this bullpen, being able to go multiple innings. Looks really good.

If Gold Gloves were what they are supposed to be he'd be a very strong candidate.

Jerry Reed.

You know, Falvey was quoted as saying something along the lines of doing things to inspire a team to do better.

 

Falvey traded some peripheral pieces and the Twins are looking at a 7 game winning streak.

 

Thins that make you say "Hmmm" for $100, Alex.

Jerry Reed.

great minds think alike.

Just turned on the game. Did I miss anything interesting?

Berrios pitched a great game but the offense hasn't been able to support him.

How many more games is Torii doing?

Only the most dangerous lead in baseball.

 

Second best OPS on the team.

 

I've considered him a 4th OF candidate until recently, but he has really been a dangerous hitter for most of this season.   

I have no facts to back this up (I'm sure someone could look it up and see if I'm right or wrong)  but it seems the last couple of months he is swinging a fewer balls out of the zone and getting into better hitter's counts.

Byron Buxton's batting average over the last 10 games:

 

.343

 

 

dfa mauer.

And don't look now, but he's one swing away from passing Sano in SLG, too.

Twins are bringing some Dee to Deetroit!

Oh, come on! I love Torii. All he does is sit there and make fun of Bremer. Who doesn't love that?

Dick, with all due respect, shut the **** up about the bullpen being lights out already.

 

Geez.

 

edit:  posted before the triple.

The Detroit announcers were pretty impressed with Kepler's throw.

Where's Deduno Abides when we need him
