Worm Guts Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) It’s going to be tough to win a playoff series with the way the starting rotation has been going lately. Odorizzi has been serviceable, Berrios has been good for the last 2 starts after being terrible, Gibson and Perez have been bad. The Twins are probably going to have to piece some games together.

With the exception of the Astros, basically every team in baseball is going to have to do that, well maybe not every team, but the Yankees for sure. Same for the A's and Rays. Not so much the Indians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I think the Twins should consider giving Graterol a start in the playoffs. No expectation he'll go 5 innings, but just a change of pace. Maybe just make him the "opener". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I wouldn't want to do it unless they tested it out in the last few games of the season first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTN-93 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Ugh that was an ugly 9th. What a first game at target field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Twins did their best to try and keep pace with the Vikings in scoring, but just weren't able to keep up with them. It was awesome to have Cruz hit HR number 40 of the season and 400 of his career. That's a great milestone. Also, Sano is murdering the ball, and that's great. Downside, the Twins keep on getting dinged up. Need to get Kepler back for the start of the playoffs, and Garver left with a bit of hip tightness, I believe, need him to be healthy for a playoff push.

RpMc Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 First Vixen tryout has happened and we have two more in October. If you know of anyone who might be interested, send them over to mnvixen.com and they can register for tryouts. If they have any questions about it, feel free to PM me. Looks like we will be stepping up into Division I competition this year, and will definitely be looking into adding to our already deep talent pool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Twins are down to 2 games until they clinch. Hopefully that happens tonight with a Twins win and Indians loss. Randy Dobnak on the mound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Just now, vikesfan89 said: Is Gibson done for the year as a starter? Seems like it since he came out of the pen last night. I mean, it's probably deserved, we're going to see multiple teams, probably, doing a bullpen game in the playoffs, which will be weird.

JDBrocks Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 With Gibson battling Ulcerative Colitis and losing a lot of weight and strength I think it's smart to move him to the pen. He's really only been effective once or twice through the lineup. I could see a 3 man rotation for the ALDS, giving Gibson time to get healthy(er?). They can use some combination of Perez, Dobnak, and Gibson on short leashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Heard on the radio (not sure if it was Lavelle or another Twins wonk... could have been Bonnes), about the Twins possible going something like Berrios, into bullpen game, into Odo.

vikesfan89 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I suppose it'll depend on how the off days work out. It'll be interesting to see who they keep on the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I didn't get to watch the game but it looks like Dobnak was dominant. 78 pitches only in 6 innings and 1 hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
