Could of swept Chicago, could have swept Detroit, then again they could of easily went 2-3 against Detroit. Quick trip to St. Louis before two off days. Throw the sink at the cards tomorrow. I'm happy to see they're going with Berrios and Dobnak tomorrow in the doubleheader and not using one as a bullpen game. Sounded like Cruz, Sano, and Polanco would all be back in tomorrow as well.

Wilbur Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Big chance to get two games today with who we have going on the hill and St. Louis with a couple scrubs. Big Mike going 7 and Stashak coming back leaves everyone available today. Only 17 games left. Rocco has got to pay attention here. The Twins are currently the 7th seed and the first wild card team heading to Cleveland the first round. They are only a game back of Cleveland and Chicago with Cleveland showing up on Friday with Bieber on the hill. So important to be at home in the playoffs.

UNDMOORHEAD Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 That third inning had me pretty upset. They were pretty good otherwise today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had the whole bullpen built up if Dobnak faltered with two days off ahead....Duffey, May, Clippard, Stashak, Rodgers......and we went to Theilbar, after leaving Dobnak in too long, and thats the game...... And to make it all better we let Poppen pitch to Wong. I just don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 10 game stretch Home against Cleveland for 3 A week in Chicago (4 against Sox, 3 against Cubs) The Big Knockers need to be ready for this one. Have to come away with at least 6 wins here in this tough stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Odorizzi gets healthy they've got some decisions to make rotation wise. 1. Big Mike....2. Berrios....3. Maeda for sure, then you've got Hill, Dobnak, and Ode.

Here's the problem: Hill and Odo are basically the same type of pitcher (5 and fly). I don't want to punish Dobnak by taking him out of the rotation because he has done so well this year. Plus there is no guarantee that Odo is ready to pitch and is running out of time to get ready. I'd kick Hill out, but he was brought in for one reason: October, and I'm sure he has one more postseason gem left in that arm. I'm guessing they run Pineda, Berrios, Madea and Hill for postseason. What that does for Odo for 2021... I bet he is kicking himself now for taking that QO from the Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I hadn't watched much of Maeda before and mostly went off numbers and thought we were getting another 3/4 starter. He has been so good this year though.

Graterol. I think they could of given up Duran or Alcala and another guy for Maeda. Graterol having a good first year in LA, and he will only get better. As of now the Twins are ahead in the trade.

If they can get Rosario going.....and maybe Donaldson. The whole key is having someone behind Cruz so he can see some pitches instead of try to do too much. Kepler back today.
