I hope Danny b. Has some Mauer ‘drops’ on his radio show. ‘It’s frustrating’. Even better 20 yr old Wolves ‘drops’. Maybe a Brewster quote.
Now THIS is good humor!Gotta start Margot to eliminate the chance to use him as a pinch-hitter.
Wouldn’t want to tangle with them in the playoffs; they’re ravenous.Tigers already 2-1 winners today over the Rays.
They've now passed KC as well.Tigers already 2-1 winners today over the Rays.
Nailed it.The Tigers might catch Kansas City.
I'm not ruling out the possibility that Mike Leach locked Topa in a shed at Texas Tech.
Kepler will never wear a twins jersey again. I don’t believe Justin Toopa is an actual person. They saw a name that sounded like a baseball name and have some guy walk around in a Toppa jersey every once and a while.
I still don’t think we got the correct Tsuyoshi Nishioka. I think we just got some guy from Japan and were told that it was him. The guy had no idea how to turn a double play.I'm not ruling out the possibility that Mike Leach locked Topa in a shed at Texas Tech.
Kiriloff might be in there too.

Well statedThe owners saving $35million in payroll this year is going to cost them hundreds of millions of long term income and much public ridicule. All this for a team worth $1.5 billion or so. That’s a hell of a financial decision to make.
It's basically a play-off game. Would you start Margot in a play-off game? If you would, you should be fired immediately. His waddling after a catchable ball broke it open in the 2nd. Not that it mattered with a totally inept offense. All the more reason not to sit one of the few guys who might actually hit a HR.so, you're surprised that a team - which has been platooning all year - is still platooning?
this is who Rocco is as a manager. he has shown no indication of changing his approach.
and FWIW:
Wallner vs RH - .276/.389/.569 (.958)
Wallner vs LH - .184/.296/.316 (.611)
Larnach vs RH - .254/.336/.440 (.776)
Larnach vs LH - .227/.261/.381 (.579)
OK, you're the manager. your team is facing a LH pitcher. you make the call.
Tomorrow night they will skip the National Anthem and just play Nearer My God to Thee.The national anthem being performed by violinists for the twins game was funny. It was like the group was playing as the titanic was sinking.
Much appreciated. Just hope my Joe Ryan signed ball is not affected by these owners. I am holding hope it’s my retirement nest egg.Well stated

if you had a Manny Margot ️ you could buy your own islandMuch appreciated. Just hope my Joe Ryan signed ball is not affected by these owners. I am holding hope it’s my retirement nest egg.
the best predictor of future results is past outcomes.you're the manager. these are your choices.
player A: .273/.327/.393 (.721)
player B: .184/.296/.316 (.611)
seems pretty cut-and-dried. player A has better numbers, right?
Player A is Margot vs LHP.
Player B is Wallner vs LHP.
this is how decisions are made - based on actual evidence - based on numbers - based on performance. not on feelings.
