Ohh, let's let Minnesota use one of there few decent starters before the rain comes....... So two games tomorrow and we literally don't have an actual starting pitcher.......... Hope for a split. They knew exactly what they were doing. Now I really hope the boys can somehow win a couple this weekend. Bush league move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Okay, it is what it is......control what you control. Pitchers to pitch with tie or lead: Littell, Dobnak, Thorpe, Graterol, May, Romo, Rodgers, Duffy, Romero, Stashak. Screw it we lost: Harper, Stewart, Smeltzer, Hildy. If they get down big in one game I'd let Stewart throw until his arm falls off....gonna be his last time pitching for the Twins anyways.

SWSiouxMN Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Looks like they will have Alcala today as well. i wouldn’t be shocked if a starter is used as their bullpen session. I’d consider this, outside of Berrios, an “all staff” day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was stupid to start but I don't really mind it. Yes the Twins lose a starter who has been pretty good against Cleveland this year, but now instead of facing the Indians top 3 starters the Twins still have to face their top 2 guys but get a Cleveland bullpen that has been up and down in the 2nd half. I think the Twins bullpen has been better than the Indians lately and with the key being for the Twins to get at least 1 win this weekend I like their chances in a bullpen battle.I think the Indians are using Clevinger for game 1 and I'd use two of Dobnak/Thorpe/Smeltzer in the matchup to get through 5 today and if you are leading or tied than you can go to the reliable guys. If you are losing you piece it together and load up with your top arms for the other game. Graterol, Romero, Littell, May, Duffy, Romo, Rogers.

Never a bad thing to have another big arm strikeout guy out in the pen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakvindy Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Unlikely heroes arise in pennant races. Smeltzer just earned a tiny place in Twins lore. This road magic could be scary come playoff time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakvindy Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Absolutely huge win. Yes Cleveland had gotten series sweep then not only was the division at risk but even a playoff spot. Just a little bit of breathing room now and a very favorable schedule with teams that have packed it in still left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Twins coming through with the 8th inning rally. I was just hoping for a sac fly from Miguel but hey a grand slam is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 SANO DOUBTER!!!!!!! If Rocco takes out Thorpe a batter earlier his stat line looks a lot better. Great innings from the law firm of Stashak, Graterol, and May. With the way Graterol threw the ball they may not need Dyson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
