    I think some people are being too hard on Berrios. It’s true he wasn’t locating his breaking ball, but he should have gotten some plays made behind him, and been given a chance to pitch deeper into the game. People shouldn’t expect that lineups like the Yankees and Astros will be mowed down 1-2-3, inning after inning, game after game. Maybe a guy like Dobnak can do it for a few innings tonight. The Yankees probably don’t have “a book” on him like they do Berrios or Odorizzi.

    Although the poster you both are responding said Astudillo can hit, the poster was mostly building up Astudillo’s intangibles. So with all due respect, I will say “all of you are right.” And surely you can think of situations where Astudillo should pinch hit for Castro.

    Adrianza, Smeltzer, or Gibson.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Wade is fast, I will take your word for it. I haven’t seen sprint speeds for these guys. I would sure question using Adrianza as a pinch runner, and hoping that’s not why they activated him.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I also assumed Adrianza would not be healthy. Congrats to them all!

    I dropped a post here on players playing through mild sprained ankles: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/35124-playing-on-a-mild-ankle-sprain/ To sum it up in a word, I’m optimistic we see Arraez this weekend. I’d also hate to be the one to get everyone’s hopes up, and then find out his ankle is not as ready as what we think. But I did the work and wanted to share it either way.

    You could even go one further, and say the center fielder had the best look at it, and should have called it for the infielders. But who was in center? Did he have the pipes to be heard?
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’d rather have Arraez and hope he heals up quickly, but Schoop has power and probably provides better defense.

    Looks more like Playoff Pizza

    I’m still not sold Rogers will be that guy, but you could certainly be right. It will be interesting to watch if the Twins ever call for the Rogers back foot slider to the righty for three, four pitches in a row. Especially after the batter has laid off it, to call for it one more time. I don’t know who those batters would be but this is definitely going to be fun!
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good point. Then you wonder if Rogers will be used to get the final outs, as he usually is.

    I agree, there was probably a gut check in the clubhouse of some sort. I posted that I felt Sano always hustles; that wasn’t meant as a rebuttal to your observation. It’s good to see hustle at this point from everyone.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sano has always hustled.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The radio guys said Wade had a great secondary lead, and broke for third instantly. Great hustle, great play. What more could you ask for.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    At least you won’t be forcibly removed from a bar anymore, for requesting to put the Twins game on.

    I was wrong. But you were not quite correct. (kidding). If the arbitration panel had reduced Pineda's suspension in time for Pineda to serve the reduced suspension before the season ended, then Pineda would have been eligible for the postseason through an exception per Joint Drug Agreement 7.H.2. at the very end of that paragraph. Here was the post I was thinking of. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34800-front-page-michael-pineda-suspended-60-games-for-banned-substance/?p=911565 If Pineda had dropped his appeal, he would not have qualified for that exception, even if he had completed serving the suspension before the season ended.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I assumed that too, when the news came out, but someone in an earlier thread corrected that to say they are eligible. Guess I'm not sure then.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm wondering if Pineda had just dropped his appeal, served his suspension, if he wouldn't be back on the field already and ready to prove himself in the playoffs and be ready to go spring training with a respectable MLB contract. All those years on the Yankees, and he never made a post-season roster. Hard pass for 2020.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great call to bring up Graterol. Posters here were too quick to dismiss him after his previous outing. I’d like to see either Garver or Cruz at DH until this is clinched. I hope Cruz’s wrist is in decent enough shape. Marwin took BP this week so I’m counting on him being close. Backing up Berrios by a day also puts him better in line for a Game 1 ALDS start Thursday. Now close it out, fellas!
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree—they are effectively eliminated, unless they go on a Rockies ‘07 win streak starting with their next game.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don’t think the Phillies are mathematically eliminated, but they are pretty close to needing to “win out” at this point. A great week for the Twins. I’d like to see the regulars playing as much as possible this week.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hey Big Mike, that is some bad teammating you did there.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks. People fail to appreciate this. That other teams have good players too.

    With Buxton entering in the top of the 9th, that bottom of the 9th was the first half-inning since August 1st that Rosario, Buxton and Kepler have been in the outfield together
