GAME THREAD: Texas Rangers at Minnesota Twins, 8/21/2022, 1:10 PM CDT


Nine of twelve

Recommended Posts

No Miranda?   The hell with off days and getting some rest.  The stretch drive is here.  You need to go with the guys who should be able to produce.  Like the old saying "  You got the whole off season to rest".  Come on rocco, pull your head out of your rectal zone.

No buxton for pinch hitting yet?  Rocco waiting for him to hit a 5-run homer?

Probably not needing a strikeout, so passing on Buxton right now. I can't believe we are at this point in the season, and we have Cave and Beckham and Leon on the MLB team. Not even the cellar dwellers would be playing these guys.

And you wanted Ryan, with a 2-hitter and 88 pitches out of the game, eh? Not me. 

Who started that rally?

No ******* way I send Ryan out for the 7th. He was extremely lucky to get through the 6th.

Just can't do **** like that in a pennant race.

The season has caught up with the Twins, a team with a bad bullpen and no offense will not play in the post season

Afraid, you're right.  It's just that it takes 6+months of frustration to enable it.

I really wanted OF help at the deadline. It was obvious they were really short. 

I mentioned Robbie Grossman as a cheap option who takes good ABs and might get hot for a couple months.

Atlanta got him for a couple Starbucks coupons and he's hitting 257/.386/.486 since. He's hit like Lin Manuel Miranda's cousin. 

Meanwhile we are using Tim Beckham. In a corner OF spot.

Even though it doesn't mean a damn thing at this point, we need to DFA Pagan immediately.

I think it would be cool to wait til the day before the season ends to DFA, him.  Maybe, he'll get the point.

Absolutely…with this roster, for 2023, you’d probably like Miranda to be capable over there, and have a true slugger at 1B…(not to mention DH)

Yeah I think I'd roll with Miranda at 3rd next year.

But but his K rate!

only given up 11 bombs in 44 innings, and all the meltdowns to cleveland,  K-rate in todays baseball to me means nothing for a pitcher, Batters are trying to hit bombs ,  different game than years ago, And with Pagan they have given him a chance in every part of the game, from closing to Mop up,  Get rid of him!!!!

Is Eric soderholm still playing?  I saw Plouffe alive and well at the LLWS.
