The Rockies and Twins will play the rubber match today, and the matchup heavily favors the Twins. After allowing 1 run over the last three games, the Twins will send out RHP Joe Ryan. Ryan had a very

And he didn’t mismanage anything here today, so let’s hear the praises now, he called it just right

Buxton with a 3-for-3 day.  Will be nice if that is the way he finishes (i.e. we don't need to bat in the bottom of the ninth).

/ edit - back that up - he's in line for a Cycle, lacking only the easy HR - so now I'm rooting for a nice rally to bring the top of the lineup up again one more time.

Okay, mean of me, but I just can’t listen to GBA. She’s trying but it’s not a great song to begin with and she can’t even sing in tune

Yeah, kind of mean. I thought it was pretty decent.  It has to be really hard to sing when you hear yourself from all over the place.

After last year, this year has been phenomenal.  I don't want to fire anyone. I just ant to gripe ever now and then. 

Got it.  Fair enough.  So, it brings us back to...

To pre-empt the "why Duffey" comments?

  • Thielbar and Pagan have been used.
  • Thornburg and Cotton unavailable after 35 and 25 pitches yesterday.
  • Moran is just up from the minors and threw an inning yesterday.

That leaves Duran, Jax, and Duffey. Do you...

  • Go to Duran for two innings with a two-run lead (now three, thanks to scoring another run) heading into the massive Cleveland series?
  • Go to Jax after 12 pitches yesterday? If he runs into any trouble and gets pulled, you're bringing Duffey into a trouble situation or asking Duran for more than an inning, including coming into to a trouble situation.
  • Or go to Duffey? If he gets an out or two and gets in trouble, hopefully Jax can still get an out or two, but he doesn't have to go an entire inning. Or, you can still go to Duran, but only need four or five outs, rather than six. 

There's logic in the Duffmeister warming up.
