First overall draft pick in 2019 clearly.

Good luck with that. Molly will want to use the pick on a relief pitcher who can appear in 120 games.

Mauer continues to hit like Ted Williams at Wrigley; now we just need to get the other 450 games he plays every 3 years sorted out.

Mauer plays 450 games in three years?

 

Does this include winter mixed league bowling or something?

Dozier couldn't even touch fastball right down the middle, struck out swinging. I think he should be seriously thinking retirement now.

Grossman swung on ball way low and stuck out looking at a hittable pitch. He has already lost his most useful skill.

Kepler also struck out looking at a hittable pitch.

Both Grossman and Kepler have been very passive. None of them possess Mauer's hitting ability and keen eyes. They really should be swinging with 3 run down. At least you have tried, therefore no regrets if you fail.

 

I really don't want to see Dozier and Grossman back next season.

Must be planning on him being on the DL for 42?

I watched Dozier as he headed to 1st after his walk and his demeanor, to me, said, "whatever."

 

That, and maybe a bit of "Gosh, I'm still somewhat stunned that my current contract and my ability to play major league baseball are on pace to expire within minutes of each other".

Well Molly might be long gone before the pick gets promoted to the major league. He can certainly do that every night in his dream though.

Wait a minute, Morrow comes in with 2 men on and a 4 run lead, gets one out, and gets the save??!!

 

Someone explain that one to me.

Tying run was on deck.

Yeah, you get credit for the save if there's a guy on base (or was it scoring position?) even if the lead is 4-5 runs.

 

Don't worry, I'm still learning these rules about the game too. Apparently you can't get a win and a save in one game as a pitcher.

Wow, I'm an old you know what, and I have never heard that before.

You can qualify for a save if you enter the game with the potential tying run on base, at the plate or on deck.

 

Also, if you enter the game with no more than a 3 run lead and pitch at least one inning or pitch the at least last three innings of a game.

 

It's not the easiest rule in the book to know.

Can't pitch yourself into a save situation either.

I'm frustrated the Twins front office pretty much decided to let the season get away from them while sitting on their hands and doing nothing. Changes are risky, but when you're bad, not changing anything is the most dangerous thing you can do. The front office has been watching this ship go down for the last 2 months, and nobody's lifted a finger. Belisle? Astudillo? Really? Molitor isn't the long term answer, everyone knows he's not the guy to lead this team to the next step. Firing him is almost too easy...I can't see how the guy still has a job. Any other MLB team he'd be long gone, hiring this local guy was a terrible decision in the first place and now we're seeing why.

Don't have to mention Astudillo here. He hasn't had an AB in the major league yet.
