Well, no... but I can move Escobar from short to pitcher, right? He's pitched once before.

In spectacular fashion, no less.    Not really, but it's Escobar, so probably at least entertaining.

Those look like crocs, not gators?

I thought they were feet...

 

Shows what i know.

Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 8th

 

Morrison singles to right.
Escobar grounds into a double play.
Kepler grounds out to the pitcher.

 

Hmmm... which position player should I have pitch the 9th?

Wilson looks to have a strong arm.

What I was actually asking is if you can move a player from any position to pitch... or don't you have to give up the DH's spot or something like that? I don't remember the rules.

My guess is so that the game is still tied at the bottom of the 9th. That and Hildenberger is presumably unavailable.

Well it worked. at least half way. Bats must do their part now.

I DEMAND A WALK OFF IN THE 9th!!!!

Top of the order. It's time.

Strat-O-Matic Report - Top of the 9th

 

-- Escobar moves from SS to P, Petit in to play SS --

 

Brantley grounds out.
Ramirez doubles to center.
Encarnacion flies out to left.
Kipnis grounds out to 2B.

 

Holy cow, it worked! I gave Escobar the worst pitching stats possible and he only gave up one hit!

Using your closer in the 9th inning of a tied game on the road? Can they do that?

 

I DEMAND A WALK OFF IN THE 9th!!!!

I'll settle for a walk-off in any inning.

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

 

         

I am entertained.

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Twins, I'm gonna yell at you more often!!!!!!!

 

Wow.

eddie done good!

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An exclamation point for the game.

 

Gotta appreciate good punctuation.

I love Eddie!!!!

 

Hmm, Dozier coming up top of the Ninth? 

 

Walk off maybe?

Sufficiently ambiguous. Therefore, I called it! (okay, okay, one batter off.)

 

That does not improve our record in one-run games...

It’s the shoes. Whenever i post pictures of my shoes, the bats do the thre trick!

 

And I’m having all kinds of chicken for dinner tonight!

 

That does not improve our record in one-run games...

But it does improve the walk-off record to 4-12

Now let's continue rolling this streak against the tighty whities!

 

I DEMAND A WALK OFF IN THE 9th!!!!

Nice work Jerr!!  Ask and you shall receive! 

Strat-O-Matic Report - Bottom of the 9th

 

--Oliver Perez pitching--

 

Grossman strikes out looking.
LaMarre singles.
LaMarre takes 2B on defensive indifference.
Garver walks.
Dozier singles, bases loaded.
Rosario strikes out.
LaMarre scores on a passed ball, all other runners advance.
Sano flies out in foul territory.

 

Indians win 10-4. Box Score: Hits: CLE 16, MIN 9. Errors: CLE 1, MIN 1. 

 

Too bad the Twins failed to break into the Indians' bullpen this time, but they sure broke it in real life! I like real life Rosario much more than the Strat-O-Matic version of him!

Can the Twins win all three games I go to this weekend? I say yes, yes they can!

yup yup

Like I said, yes they can!

Like YOU said. a-HEM! You don’t get to take credit alone for that.

What more can be said about Rosario at this point? What a monster.

 

Also, $$$$$$.

Then they take 3 out of 4 against the Tribe.
