Twodogs

Nice shift. Double play

But they shouldn't be swinging at stuff outside of the strike zone but with this guy they feel like they have to.

I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait until they have robo strike zone. Get these clowns out of here.

Ballgame

Springer kept yelling at the ump for about 5 min in the dugout. I don't care if Rosario gets run had Springer got run too. But you can't let Springer do what he did and then run Rosario. That's BS

You can't completely shift with a guy on 2nd?? Otherwise he's on 3rd.

I agree, plus most of the balls hit into the shifts would have been caught by the regular player anyway.

The shifts have been working so well.

So are they just giving up? Buxton on the bench? I mean cruz has been slumping too, he didn't get benched? Buxton is the most dynamic player on the team speed wise and defensively. IDK, doesn't make much sense to me to start a guy who hasn't played in a real game all year?

Insignificant RBI by Rosario right there.

Buxton is reported to have mild concussion symptoms. Looks bad, who knows about Donaldson.

I don't know why anyone would ever throw Sano a fastball anymore. Ever

All these strike outs is getting really boring

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, seems like they could have found someone else to drop off the 40 man to keep Baily around just in case you need him in the playoffs?

It would be nice to see Cruz go on another tear right now like at the beginning of the season.

On the flip side however, there is a lot less meaningless baseball the last 2 - 3 weeks of the season. In the National league I think just about everyone was still in it up to about 3 - 4 days ago.

Go Hand.

Have to be a cleveland fan for today!

Rosario won that game tonight!

Maybe the Dodgers are preaching a pitch to contact method unless the strikeout is absolutely needed?? I noticed that Dustin May throws 100 but only has 34 K's in 47 innings?? You'd think a guy with as much swing and miss stuff as Dustin May has that he'd K a few more people?

Well I don't know, but a guy like Kyle Hendricks doesn't blow people away, but he is one of the better pitchers in MLB as of today and he has been near the top for quite some time. Fact is, because he doesn't rely on Velo he might last longer than many of the pitchers who do. But we are talking about Dobnak. So far he has been a pleasant surprise, but I think the Twins have better options for the rotation for the current playoffs as long as guys are healthy. I think Dobnak could be a long guy in the bp for when a game gets out of control. However, Dobnak could be a decent pitcher going forward, he could be great like a Kuechel or a Hendricks or he could just be an ok back end dude, or he could stink. But that pretty much sums up every pitcher in the organization high velo or not. So only way to find out is by pitching him and see how he shakes out. I think next year he could be a 5th guy and go from there.

I hope he doesn't have any real serious health issues, it's different that someone would retire with only a week left in the season. Hope he is ok.

Grateral would have had to complete 4 more innings in order to get the win.

Unless we have a nice losing streak and drop down to like the 7th seed?

Here come the Yankees.
