[Official] Twins @ Astros

Sigh. How quickly the young forget legends.

 

I’m not young and wrestling has never been my thing. I’ve never actually watched a wrestling match per the phonies. Hulk Hogan battling Rocky in Rocky III is as close as I’ve gotten. LOL

If the pay wall goes up, Reddick always used the 'woooo!' of ric flair rather than walk up song like most people do. Ric flair was a wrestler.

 

He's still on pace to earn his salary this year which isn't much and doing better than the most popular alternative mentioned in the offseason, Avila.

 

Sigh. How soon JoJo wants a place on his salary?

 

Jake Meyers is still on the active roster right?

 

Shut the **** up.

 

I think having a clear, defined role does wonders for most relievers.

 

10 games in, not counting today I'm assuming...

Diaz since coming off the DL: .295 .311 .568 .879 (45 PA)

Altuve, same timeframe: .298 .327 .468 .795 (49 PA)

 

It certainly does… but Stanek had been showing some more consistency and as of last week, Dusty was able to use him to close when Graveman faced the heart of the order in the 8th.

best thing about all the new acquisitions is that it can avoid overusing some of these guys which was a big problem earlier in the year (fatigue/availability).

 

@2:19 specifically

 

Wild guess on how Dusty gives Altuve the day off:

POS L/R/S PLAYER OBP SLG OPS+
DH L BRANTLEY, Michael 379 477 137
SS R CORREA, Carlos 364 471 130
LF L ALVAREZ, Yordan 348 525 139
1B R DIAZ, Aledmys 333 472 121
RF L TUCKER, Kyle 339 523 135
CF R MCCORMICK, Chas 308 489 117
3B R JONES, Taylor 214 262 32
2B R WILSON, Jacob 143 143 -19
C R MALDENADO, Martin 276 317 65


BENCH


2B R ALTUVE, Jose 349 494 131
CF R MEYERS, Jake 0 0 -100
C L CASTRO, Jason 326 318 81

 

Meyers ever gonna get a start?

 

Dusty gonna Dusty.

 

Anyways, with last night's win I think it's safe to say... WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES AGAIN!!??!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry...I don’t speak hip hop or jive.

 

I forgive you

 

Pitchers are divas by nature typically and routine helps them. That said, Stanek's problems in late May and June look like fatigue/tired as he had a defined role at that point. It could have also been his mechanics got out of whack for no reason.

 

Altuve day off.. Bregman still on one leg.. Dusty better get ready, Oakland is firing on all cylinders 3 games back.
