    Hopefully just an off night for Sano.

    I see opposing pitching pounding low and away. Occasionally then going in or up tying up the hitters. Hendricks was diligent. No one can hit a ball the other way, no adjustments.

    It would add to the level of gut punch that the battered broken Yankee team limps into the playoffs but finds renewed vigor against our twins.
  4. lukeduke1980
    Enough with the bullpen games at least in using up Wisler.
  5. lukeduke1980
    Aggressive moves would be quite counter to the Danny Coulombe and Ildemaro Vargas type moves that have been the responses to half the team being injured. I expect no moves.
  6. lukeduke1980
    I agree with the 5th starter sentiment. We've seen the bullpen games affect the games before and after. Find a guy. Even outside the organization.

    Schoop is a good fit. It wouldn't hurt Arraez to platoon for 30 more games.

    I had wondered about Kevin Pillar during the offseason, for CF depth. He's playing pretty well for Boston and on a 1 year deal.
  9. lukeduke1980
    I assumed Maeda only went 5 because of his close to 120 pitches in his no hit bid. Glad to see Rogers get the save but thought he was still in the zone too much, thought May would've gotten the 9th instead of Rogers back to back. Really liked Thielbar's inning.

    Rogers' looping breaking stuff is breaking into the zone. His fastballs are getting hit, the new kid Vargas, who later won some respect battling Hader, didn't turn a DP as Marwin tried to stretch instead of trying to catch the bad throw.

    At the top of Minnesota Sports Lore is Kirby Puckett's legacy of being a 5' 8" underdog who didn't look like a ballplayer but hit his way to Cooperstown.
  12. lukeduke1980
    I think they also affect the bullpen usage of the prior games as well
  13. lukeduke1980
    It's Cardinals, not Tigers
  14. lukeduke1980
    A different thought, and players can get hurt in any position, but should Buxton be shifted to a corner to reduce the opportunities for the kamikaze?
  15. lukeduke1980
    I'm not solely blaming one side nor Manfred solely, but to me it's another piece of Manfred's legacy that I'm not impressed with, along with the cheating scandals, the minor league's contraction, the rabbit ball home run binge.

    This was the season of Bilateral Leg Weakness

    Nothing infuriates me more than the parrot

    I agree, I'm not a huge fan of DH, but I have loved watching Chili Davis, Thome, Cruz, Molitor. I would dump DH for all interleague competition and WS because I think it's a competitive advantage - DH for those NL teams is their 9th best hitter.

    It won't help when the first suspension is given to a pitcher who throws at an Astro
  20. lukeduke1980
    Same - I was hoping for one more bullpen option, especially seeing Rogers' vulnerability in back to back days. Hopefully May or Duffy continue to pitch well and end up being 9th inning options.
  21. lukeduke1980
    As a fan I don't mind the circus of intrigue and conspiracy, and maybe MLB doesn't either if the buzzers were in fact pure nonsense. Astros road attendance will probably be up this year.
  22. lukeduke1980
    If this was a Kris Bryant situation, then there might not be a long term relationship. Service time seems to be a much more sensitive topic than the arbitration process.
  23. lukeduke1980
    I feel better about facing Judge and Stanton in October with Maeda's slider, Bailey's splitter and Hill's curveball. Graterol's 100 can be hit by good hitters.
  24. lukeduke1980
    If Graterol already hadn't had TJ it would make more sense to me. Seems like Maeda could have been gotten for less.

    Which day will Donaldson be at Twinsfest?!
