  1. Keeping your starting players sharp certainly isn't meaningless. I can't think of any manager who would sit his starters for over a week in preparation for the playoffs. It'd be nuts. Heck, the Dodgers have been playing meaningless games for a while now, yet Bellinger and Seager are still out there playing. It's a bummer what happened to Arraez, but that's baseball. Wrapping him in bubble wrap until October 4th was never an option.
  2. I'm not sure how one game negates the past couple months. Tough crowd, I guess.
  3. I don't recall anyone saying you had to proclaim Falvey and Levine the "best" anything, so maybe ease up on the strawmen. You said "with a little luck" Falvey and Levine would be gone from Minnesota, meaning you want them gone. Why? Providing an explanation would have been helpful.
  4. I hardly think it's unreasonable to believe Baldelli may have been a little too bold in using Dyson in Miami, but I agree with you that it's ultimately on him that he hasn't gotten the job done. It's certainly on him to pull himself together. I'm still confident he will.
  5. When Joe gets his #7 retired, he'll join #14 and #28. If I'm a new Twin, I'm grabbing that #56 before anyone else does.
  6. This feels like an end of an era for the Twins. Not having Joe on the team is going to take some getting used to.
  7. I agree Kepler has been a bummer this year, but the 71 BB at least provide a glimmer of hope. Maybe he blossoms like Aaron Hicks? One can dream, I guess.
  8. I really hope Sano is at the plate not thinking at all about home runs, but rather singles and doubles like the ones he's been getting since his return. He's looked so much better than the all-or-nothing (mostly nothing) hitter he was earlier in the season. Just let the home runs happen on their own.
  9. The Sporting News does a good job covering that "controversy": http://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/ace-pitcher-theory-number-one-starter-greinke-baseball-philsophy/rm2bq6eiz9y61m9v0lomz4ijt But the point I'm making is that saying Berrios isn't the Twins' ace requires only allowing for one definition of the term. Tom was clearly going for the "staff ace" definition in the above headline, hence the headline is fine. I'm sure the world is big enough to allow for more than one way to describe an ace pitcher.
  10. If you type "ace pitcher" into Google, the first definition you see is: "In baseball, an ace is the best starting pitcher on a team and nearly always the first pitcher in the team's starting rotation." Tom's headline is perfectly fine.
