What a dumb dumb finish.  Morsell, I really expect more from you.  How do you throw such a bad inbounds pass, then just stand there out of bounds?  The turnover the possession before was bad too.

That was a road win we should've had.  The refs didn't help us down the stretch.

I'm so angry.  I'm a broken record, but missed free throws.  Jesus.  Ayala had at least two critical turnovers that I can remember.  Morsell was zoomed in on Cowan on that in bounds, didn't look anywhere else.  At least Wiggins showed up finally.  Gonna need him to make threes in order to beat good teams.

This is a 4-5 seed that is primed to get upset in the first round sadly.  Hopefully they can make a Big 10 tournament run.

Has the inbounds passer always been considered live before he steps back inbounds?  I've never quite seen a play like that before and honestly, assuming it was called correctly, I'm not a fan of that rule.  I don't feel like the inbounds player should be considered in play until he is inside the court.

    • Great to hear. Never really doubted that he did hold team meetings or try to rally them during the rough stretch. 
    • I'm very confident in everything but our bullpen, which was terrible down the stretch (month of September). As long as we don't get into a later bullpen battle game, we should be good. The preference (obviously) would to get an early lead so that our guys can relax and forget about last year.
    • I also think it would be kind of lame to put him in after he's dead now.  It meant everything to the guy to get in, now you put him in when he'll never know he made it?  That's lame.
    • I've never really had a strong opinion on Rose to the HOF, but I will say that its a bad look to have him out for gambling while I have to sit through all the damn 'single game parlay' picks on pregame shows and what not.  I know, he bet on games he was involved in, and I used to think that was a legit reason to keep him out - and maybe it still is.  I'm just not so sure anymore given the overall embrace of sports gambling.  Its everywhere, its annoying, and it moves the needle a bit in re Rose, IMO.
    • I don't think it's really taking anything for granted. We have 9 guys in the bullpen for a three game series. In an ideal world we use 4, maybe 5. A lot of teams are using 11 pitchers (8 bullpen). The use case for Selby/Suarez would be an emergency situation where the game is likely lost anyway. Even in that situation you still want to keep Suarez fresh rather than burn him in a game you are likely to lose. In the meantime, use the roster spot for a guy you might actually pitch. We are trading maybe .0001% WPA for the wild card series for 5-10% WPA of the divisional should we get there.  That being said, I'm surprised it's Selby over Bowman.
    • If this WC series comes down to we lost by not having Suarez on the roster we have much bigger problems than we'd thought.
    • The Twins offense had been absolutely abysmal for a long time. They were 17 games over .500 at one point then couldn't score a run to save their lives and went into a free fall.
