The odds IMO are like... 55% in favour of Minnesota today and 50/50 for the potential game tomorrow.
Gray is really good but so is Berrios. Also, the Twins are throwing similar style of pitchers at Toronto so in theory the boys could get used to the archetype... the inverse Dickey Effect.
Biggio is such a little bitch ugh I can't wait until he is gone
just give me an Oakland style platoon lefty; some big dumb oaf who will hit 20 HR in 400 PA.
I could see Moreno topping that in his peak years
he needs to learn how to run the bases. and it would take some random variation in terms of defense metrics
If Tiedemann can somehow f***ing stay healthy he could and should make the team next year.
I don't know what they would do with his innings but that's just a maybe problem you figure out if it ever happens.
Tiedemann
5 IP, 7 Ks, 3 BB, 3 H, 1 R
77 pitches
longest outing of his season
twitter scouts say he was touching 96 and throwing lots of sweepers
he faced at least two elite hitting prospects I can see in Chase DeLauter and Kyle Manzardo.
they definitely do
Gausman can only do so much with two pitches. He tried to get the second pitch above the zone and missed middle-middle. He probably tried to get the first HR pitch down and away and missed middle-in.
A lot? He single-handedly won the game.
Of course when your offense is mostly HR hitters that tends to be how you win. The guy with the big swings is the hero.
Gausman has been mediocre for a several starts and it has looked exactly like that.
Good teams are just not swinging
It's the opposite of the normal approach against great pitching. Normally you shorten up and try to slap a single or whatever. Not against Gausman. Teams are up there thinking walk or homer.
I didn't get to watch the game but caught some highlights.
Looks like Bo had a horrible PA in the 8th. And a bad decision trying to score on the infield hit.
Some hard low liners from Kirk and Springer and Biggio found gloves so a bit of tough luck on potential singles...
He dropped the lawsuit in June
Or, the parties agreed to drop it and the old article was amended / annotated
This Burack Bobby guy is just an engagement farming dick licker
