Why can't we have a good Grichuk and a good Hernandez. They honestly don't need to compete for playing time now that Morales is on permenant DL
Granderson and Pearce can platoon DH
What sucks is that both Twins and Angels are headed for 90+ Wins. Angels because they maybe better than we thought and Twins because three teams in the AL Central are basically Garbage. They are going to have 55 games against those teams.
We could have a year where we win 86 games and finish five games out of the second wild card.
Are you sure you want to give up the flawless defence Gift plays. I mean, yes he is basically a pitcher with the bat, but the guy plays amazing flawless defence, and always comes through. (Hint; last night he only had 1 job)
So I guess we weren't tying to win today. That is the only explanation for not pinch hitting one of the greatest baseball players in the world as the tying run and sending the struggling Travis out there
Gibby was satisfied with this just like he was satisfied not winning the second Baltimore game in 2015 that resulted in us not having the ALCS home field advantage
