That was nice of Kessinger to ground out to confirm the stats for Dezenzo are in the books. *Edit- I think they changed that though to all stats are official and they'll just resume no matter what.
Last inning for Blanco and then yank him Joe. Blanco is lined up to pitch next Saturday in Cleveland, Game 1.
Blanco heading into the playoffs: 24 IP 2 ER He absolutely needs to be our 4th starter. No discussion needed.
The Twins need to step the **** up tonight and actually win a game for once. Make Seth Lugo have to pitch tomorrow.
Valdez vs Ragans Brown vs Wacha Kikuchi vs Lugo They tentatively have scheduled Lugo and then Ragans Sunday. So best thing to hope for is Minnesota to win tonight and tomorrow and KC lose tomorrow, they would be forced to pitch Ragans and he would be only available on short rest in game 3 or out of the pen.
Would it be ok if we pressed 'pause' on the meaningless, unnecessarily dangerous and aggressive attempts to stretch singles into doubles?
Any reason Joe has Tucker trying to stretch a single into a double? Can we get him out of the game? I actually don't want to see Altuve, Bregman, Diaz or Tucker again until Tuesday.
