Pagan only made 9 pitches, will he come back to pitch the 9th?

One of them was Chief in his teens

Welcome to TD!

He got the job done

Well, true … I didn’t ?

Yet everyone was ready to anoint him starting 3rd base this year

****

****

sigh

COME ON!!!!! GET IT! GET BIEBER!

That was lucky, too

That was lucky because they had him

You were saying? ?

Yep, and Kep knew it, too

You must've bashed your head in by now for how often you use that emoji Or at the very least, have a really bad headache

a very looooooooooooong strike ...

I don’t know where it’s coming from … probably by committee … not really sure, but I don’t think it’s Rocco’s decision alone. And I agree … he needs to be out there

I don’t think this is a Rocco alone decision. But it certainly is frustrating. Buxton needs to play. Not sure what the ailment is now, or if the powers that be think … what, I don’t know. But this isn’t Rocco calling the shots.

So there's still a chance then

Correa. That would be my wish, with Lewis sliding over to 3rd.

I think the trade was the right decision at the right time when the trade was made. I still think that, but not because of the way Berrios is pitching right now, or the way our starting rotation has been so far this season, but because of the circumstances at the time of the trade. It didn't appear that they were going to re-sign him, for whatever reason that we don't know, the Twins were terrible, there was not going to be any playoff push, and we had pitchers we needed to see and evaluate. I like, and still like, the players we received in return. Players have up and down moments in their careers, even within a season, so I hope that Berrios bounces back. But, I still think it was the right thing to do at the right time and I'd make that trade every day of the week. As for who 'won' the trade ... well ... can't know that. And maybe we will come out on the losing end of it after all is said and done. But ... it was still the right trade to make at the right time and I'd still do it again given the circumstances at that time.

Sure ... but ... still ... Lewis makes that play, there'd have been no HR. It's a quibble to me, though ... it's a mark in the win column and that's all I care about in the end. Not gonna go all whiny over the things that went wrong

They would have been out of the inning before the HR had that play been made. I think that's how that was scored, maybe.

Box score shows they were both unearned. Not sure how that was scored. Edit: yeah ... if they'd have gotten Rosario out instead of the error, they'd have been out of the inning before the HR, so both unearned
