Also wth are we pitching to Alvarez....in three games 3 HRs and 2 Dbls yet we attack him like he is the worst hitter in the lineup and we almost walk Maldonado every time.

twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 8:13:06 AM)
Lewis, Kirilloff and Wallner should be ashamed of their recent play. I'd bench all 3 tonight.

Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 9:47:38 AM)
I would also start Farmer today. Wish they'd have kept Larnach on the roster instead of useless Stevenson. At least it would have given them another option in the failing corner outfielder spot. I would probably put Castro in left, Have Taylor out in Center for his D (since his bat's quiet) and Farmer at third tonight. Calm some players down. Tough decision at catcher. Jeffers has 2 hits all postseason, yet i loathe Vazquez.

Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 9:48:46 AM)
Also agree on Alvarez. Pablo handled him. The rest are awful trying to pitch to him. And the nibbling with Maldonado in the 9 spot is silly. What, you wanna turn the lineup over that badly? [&o]

I think you have to play Kirilloff and Wallner as the Astros won't have their best tonight and you handcuff the lineup too much w/o those two. The only change I would make is the order....move Correa and Lewis in the batting order (we need good at bats early in the game) and anyone at the bottom of the order is playing small ball and bunting runners over early. Castro and Taylor have to run also. Julien 1B Correa SS Polanco 2B Farmer DH Kepler RF Lewis 3B Wallner LF Jeffers C Taylor/Castro CF

Projected lineup has no Julien. Lewis at DH. Farmer at 3B. Solano at 1B. Castro in LF. I would leave Julien at DH and make Lewis sit as punishment.

Ted @tlschwerz · 3m There’s the injury designation. Glad it isn’t the wrist. Quote Bobby Nightengale @nightengalejr · 5m Alex Kirilloff is out with a shoulder injury, manager Rocco Baldelli said. It was affecting his swing. twitter.com/nightengalejr/… Darren Wolfson @DWolfsonKSTP Shoulder issue goes back to April. Sure, glad on not wrist. But the shoulder has been a thing for many months. Aaron Gleeman @AaronGleeman Rocco Baldelli said Alex Kirilloff is dealing with the same shoulder problem he had in the second half. It’s gotten progressively worse, to the point he’s having trouble swinging. Donovan Solano will be the primary first baseman. Edouard Julien and Kyle Farmer are also options. 3:17 PM · Oct 11, 2023

I guess we should know: Ted @tlschwerz · 36m Of note, with Alex Kirilloff being swapped out for Byron Buxton, he would not be eligible to join the #MNTwins in the ALCS

Julien DH Polanco 2B Lewis 3B Kepler RF Correa SS Jeffers C Castro LF Solano 1B Taylor CF Ryan P #Astros Urquidy has reverse splits, so #MNTwins stacking righties.

Mister Ed -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 4:01:10 PM)
Sad THe first base depth is so shallow they decided to keep an injured player out there. Why Guess some others should have gotten reps at first during the season to be comfy. Or they should have gotten a real lefthanded hitting first baseman, instead of another player of glass.

Very interesting and talking about reverse splits the Astros had a stellar 51-30 record on the road this season which means a losing 39-42 record at home. We win today the series is almost a lock to be ours. [:D]

Phil Riewer -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 6:42:54 PM)
And Rocco looks to try to out do Toronto Manager on pulling a starter. Uuugh

TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 7:04:28 PM)
Chalk up another one for over managing.

twinsfan -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 7:07:21 PM)
So perfectly crafted by Rocco to predetermine Thielbar would face that part of the lineup 2nd time through.

bstinger -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (10/11/2023 7:20:13 PM)
Rockhead's over-managing is sure paying off. [&o]
