Since that Wallner homer in Texas the entire team has just fallen off of the planet, outside of Wallner. Very disheartening.
No doubt, they should have been better offensively.Not sure walking the guy in front of DeLa Cruz was smart. The pitching will get all the blame, but the offense has 1 run on 2 hits and has been all to absent for the last 3 weeks.
Even more reason to score more runs. Can’t expect to win game 4-3 with a quality start from your starter and shutdown 2-3 inning from your bullpen.No doubt, they should have been better offensively.
But the bullpen has now allowed 44% of inherited runners to score. That's good for the 4th worst mark in MLB history.
If the Central gets 3 teams in, the 2 Wild Cards can certainly thank the White Sox for being so abysmal.The AL Central was the butt of jokes for years for futility. And now there is a very real chance that the Central gets 3 teams in the playoffs .
And the Twins might not be one of the three.
Everyone thought so. IIRC, we were ranked with the fourth best entering the season. I think Duran needs to work on his conditioning and drop ~10 lbs.Saw somewhere the Twins relievers have allowed 44% of inherited runs to score. Not only is that the worst this season it would be the 4th worst all time.
I really thought the bullpen would be a strength. Duran and Thielbar have been bad at times and Stewart and Topa have been hurt. Now Alcala needs to be a top guy and he’s terrible.
please MN Sports gods , don’t let this the be the first time all season one of his predictions is correct.Tigers now 2.5 back. Will pass the Twins by next week.
Both Martin and Kiersey down means a lot of Manny Margot in CF. Ugh.Correra is officially back and Kiersty back to the state capitol.
In mu unrealistic fantasies, we click and go on an epic run to finish the season and get the first wildcard.
At least not tonight. Buxton back there again. And Correa is batting 6th.Both Martin and Kiersey down means a lot of Manny Margot in CF. Ugh.
Yeah. Martin is much more useful as a bench player than Margot though. Or they could have sent Julien or Lee down as they likely won't play much now.At least not tonight. Buxton back there again. And Correa is batting 6th.
I don't disagree. I expected Julien to be the first guy sent down when Correa got back, but Kepler threw a monkey wrench in things.Yeah. Martin is much more useful as a bench player than Margot though. Or they could have sent Julien or Lee down as they likely won't play much now.
Never fear -Both Martin and Kiersey down means a lot of Manny Margot in CF. Ugh.
Robots are no match for Favline's spreadsheets.Never fear -
RoboBuck is here!!
Nothing, not even spreadsheets can stop RoboBuck’s quest to lead us to the top of the Wildcard standings; up your daughters and wivesRobots are no match for Favline's spreadsheets.
Can we trade Julien and Varland’s for anything?
That is unplayable.
Varland’s ERA is now a svelte 8.57; brilliant comment about him above.Everyone thought so. IIRC, we were ranked with the fourth best entering the season. I think Duran needs to work on his conditioning and drop ~10 lbs.
I think we’ll be okay, as Varland and Sands can fill Alcala’s role and Ronnie and He can take theirs.
Also, some Billy Ocean always helps-
