    While true, we haven't really had many classic one inning save opportunities where we are up 1 or 2. We've needed 2-3 inning saves or someone to come into the 9th with a 3 or 4 run lead and not blow it.
  2. moonslav59
    That's what I wanted to hear!

    We have 4 naturally scheduled days off coming up, soon. I agree. No extra days off for anyone from here on out. As far as I acn see, we'd only need the 5th starter twice the rest of the way. That might give us the edge we need by using just Sale, ERod, Eovaldi and Houck for almost every remaining game and having Pivetta in the pen, when he returns and is not starting those 2 games.

    TOR looks like the easiest schedule, but they have very few days off. 2 days off, but one double header. We have 4 days off and no double headers.
  5. moonslav59
    Indeed, especially if TOR beats the hell out of 'em.

    We are the tipping point on COVID. One more key player, and we could be toast. I'm hopeful the rest will bring back a better Bogey- wrist healed and all. We have a lot of days off in the middle of September. We need to stay focused, play our best players and stop this 6th starter thing. I'd try Seabold in Pivetta's slot, but no promises we do any better than what we just tried. Maybe we don't need a 5th starter until SEA.

    TOR still has 7 games with the Twins and 7 with the O's, but the rest is very tough: 7 NYY 6 TBR They start an 8 game road trip tomorrow at NYY for 4 then 4 at BAL.

    It's like you want it to happen, too.
  9. moonslav59
    Yanks lose.
  10. moonslav59
    Not far from the truth. 6.9 BB/0 (career 7.4) 6.6 H/9 (career 7.1) 12.2 K/9 (career 14.4!) The Ks and low hits per inning save his ass.
  11. moonslav59
    It's kind of amazing we were in this game until the 9th with Plawecki batting 5th and Shaw 6th, plus a couple clowns at middle infield. That's not even looking at who we pitched.
  12. moonslav59
    Good news. Hard to know, if he's at 100%, and even at 100% he walks 7 guys per 9.
  13. moonslav59
    Golden opportunity to gain on the Yanks and Rays. This really sucks!
  14. moonslav59
    Now, it looks obvious. At the time, I do not think it's a clear choice, no. Valdez has not been bad, and he only threw 22 pitches, yesterday. Hell, Ottavino throws that to 2 batters,
  15. moonslav59
    Way too many. It seems like the same pattern keeps happening. A guy like Dalbec gets two nice hits and is stranded, then whe he gets up with men is scoring position he strands them. I'm not blaming Dalbec, but my point stands. Before that we'd see 3 solo HRs in a game.
  16. moonslav59
    Actually one good-one bad is better than all our RP'ers not named Whitlock & Richards.
  17. moonslav59
    It's too many lose-lose choices Cora has to make. It's actually amazing how many lose-lose choices he made, today that actually worked, and then when the last one fails, it's all on Cora.
  18. moonslav59
    What best relievers? There is only one: Whitlock. Sure, he could have brought him in down 1, but that is certainly not the clear call, until after you see Valdez implode.
  19. moonslav59
    You really think that? We were using garbage pitchers all game, and now it's bringing in Valdez that's Cora's fault? True, he threw 22 pitches, yesterday, but anything this guy does, he can't win.
  20. moonslav59
    2 outs, bottom of the ninth, Barndon Lowe walks. PR'er Margot steals 2B, Franco with an IF single moves Margot to 3B. Nelson Cruz ends the game with a... ... fly out to CF! Twins beat the Rays 6-5!
  21. moonslav59
    The tides always turn.
  22. moonslav59
    Getting Robles was pure genius! Thanks Bloom!
  23. moonslav59
    Sure does! Big time.
  24. moonslav59
    MIN up on Rays in the 9th!
  25. moonslav59
    BAL up 8-7 on Yanks in 7th! MIN still threatening in 9th as they tied the Rays! Make this a trifecta!
