Wilbur

Big spot for him. I'm excited to see his first postseason start.

I knew the lineup would be okay, but really had no idea that it would make up for sub par starting pitching and a bullpen with Blake Parker pitching in important spots.

Okay, thinking ahead to the playoffs in NY. Here is my lineup if Kepler is healthy. 1. Arraez-2B 2. Polanco-SS 3. Cruz-DH 4. Kepler-RF 5. Garver-C 6. Rosario-LF 7. Sano-3B 8. Cave-CF 9. Marwin-1B I don't start Cron because he is hurting and I'm guessing off season surgery. Plus I think you need the experience in the lineup.

Missed it by the starting pitcher today.......

I watched the play on YouTube a few weeks ago and listening to Ron Darling talk about it while they watch the replay is.....well....not sure what word I'd use.

Like Paul Molitor once said, "I won't relax until we have the hats and the t-shirts on." I was worried it was going to come down to a weekend in KC during Ned Yost farewell weekend..... I'm doing my best to warn my wife for when the playoffs start.

Guess the lineup tomorrow: P-Stewart C-Castro 1B-Astudillo 2B-Schoop SS-Torreyes 3B-Arraez LF-Miller CF-Wade RF-Cave DH-Lamarre

2019 AL Central Champs

Watch Lindor hit a granny. Maybe not, guess the Sox are going to bring in a real pitcher.

If Cleveland could just lose tonight so Stewart can pitch the whole game tomorrow.....

Sox up 3 zip.....very early though.

Yup. Not good.

Arraez you beautiful bastard.....

Twins not hitting.....how bout we clinch before the Ned Yost retirement party in KC???

An argument can be made that he's been their most consistent starter the past few weeks. Lefty on the mound for Detroit. I'm looking at big nights from Sano, Cruz, Astudillo, Schoop, Polanco. Get off to a good start tonight and put the game to bed early.

I can understand using Gibby for one inning, but even with a bullpen game looming tomorrow you have enough warm bodies tomorrow to use May, or Graterol, or Duffy in the 8th. Clinch the AL Central first, then use Gibby, Stewart, Hildenberger, Harper to your heart's desire Rocco.

Verbatim what I just said to my wife.

What in the name of God? Duffy? May? Romo? Are we trying to win the Central or not?

Big AB Rosie!!!!!!! 4-1 good guys (exhales.....)

Good point. I see them trying to keep up with the Stros. Never know though.

In other news Ned Yost is retiring. God has that man's teams been a pest to the Twins. If I'm them I hire Ron Gardenhire immediately....

I think it depends on when/if the Twins clinch. Could see a few AAA lineups in KC towards the end of the week.

Ahhhhhh....good point. Are they able to use him though if they have to put guys on league approved DL? Like Dyson?

13 regulars I'd go with: Garver, Astudillo, Sano, Marwin, Arraez, Schoop, Polanco, Rosie, Kepler, Cruz, Cave, Lamarre, Wade. If Adrianza is ready he takes the spot of Lamarre.

I'm gonna guess a blown coverage or two......
