I won’t soon forget the way KC ambushed us in the postseason.

You mean someone of lesser value?  Doubt it.  I'm guessing Westburg or Kjerstad if not Ortiz.

Ortiz has a -6 OPS+ and Westburg has a healthy 53. Easy choice!

Hell of a play by Mountcastle. 

But holy crap, what is up with that "Analysis" from Palmer. "1st round pic. (kinda, 36th pick but ok), came up as a shortstop (Yes, only because Dan Duquette for some reason felt like he was worth more as a shortstop, even though every scout knew he had no chance being one) had quickness (not really), arm strength (No. He had one of the worse arms you will ever see from a guy being asked to play SS at the professional level. It really was the main reason he had to move to 1B).

I was leaving work and on my way to my car in the parking lot during the first inning, so I didn't see it.   So from MY point of view we are having a fantastic night with the glove, with the exception of the extra base taken on Mullins & Westburg.

Or it might have been two players. It's not as if teams were overwhelming the O's with offers for Ortiz.

And the two first inning errors

      Great to hear. Never really doubted that he did hold team meetings or try to rally them during the rough stretch.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      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.

      WC Playoff roster vs KC

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      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.
