Give him a pass ,that was on the manager putting in a guy right off the plane. That should not of happen dude just walked into the ball park a few innings before that.

What a great day of baseball! Didn’t see that coming!   First game had some pucker factor lol and the 2nd game was a great comeback and absolute dagger.

The Twins and Indians  have 10 games to play before they face off again. Each has 7 games vs  White Sox and Tigers. Each team has a critical 3 game series on the road against solid opponents. Twins vs Red Sox and Indians vs Tampa Bay

 
8 games into this stretch and the Twins are 7-1 and Cleveland is 4-4

 

The Twins are 34 games over .500 for the first time since 1970, let that sink in.

Pineda suspended 60 games for PEDS. That sucks! He was really improving as the season progressed...I guess we know why ? Going to miss him in the playoffs.

 

I couldn't believe it. That is a big blow to their chances in the playoffs and I believe it could affect them even making the playoffs.

Not to mention injuries really starting to pile up. Really puts a damper on things after such a fun year so far.

 

This team has exceeded my expectations and I’m content with them not winning anything in the playoffs if they even get there now.

I hope the window for success is just opening. Lots of to team friendly contracts and hopefully some good off season moves and they can keep improving after this season ends.

They need to to tighten up D and offense .We do not need the home runs all the time. Everyone is so excited about home runs but those teams have not won the WS in the past. Plus the Yankees are going to pass us by the end of the season for that record also.

Classic Minnesota sports.  Always finding a way to disappoint us.  I'm referring to Pineda getting suspended. We finally have something going good and this happens.  It always seems that pitching is the problem with this team.  All I can say is good luck now.

That's because the best teams all have excellent starters 1-3 & those are the only ones starting once the playoffs start. Those pitchers don't typically give up many homers. I got to believe that just winning 1 game this weekend seriously hurt the Tribes chances of winning the division. They aren't even in the playoffs yet, trailing TB & Oakland by 1 1/2  in the WC race as of today

I don't think there is any tightening up of the D to be done. It is what it is and has been all season. 

 

So you want to go back to Gardenhire era small ball? How do you tighten up one of the most prolific offenses in baseball?

 

offense won't be the problem down the stretch or in the playoffs, the problem will be pitching.

Going to need the starters to step it up. I don’t feel good about things and this division is far from decided. Rosario really needs to snap out of his slump and get it going again.

 

I also didn’t like Rocco’s decision to leave Garver on the bench as the potential tying run for the at bat in the 8th. Not sure what he was saving him for? Especially when you have the chance in that spot and don’t know if you will get one in the 9th.

It'll probably come down to the last game of the season.

Other guys need to step it up, we're hurting a bit.

Dig deep boy's, it's still within reach.

 

It's been an entertaining season, let's hope it continues. 

(fighting that MN sports doom and gloom attitude big time right now)

I didn't like that either but then again why wasn't he in the game to begin with. With 20 games or so to go and all the injuries going on hes probably our best and most consistent bat right now and he cant play two games in a row? He should play every game the rest of the way. After 140ish games this year he only has like 280 at bats. Think they showed last night 1 homer per 9.33 at bats. That's like a whole at bat better than Mike Trout and that's saying something.

There were a couple tough plays in the field behind Perez during their big inning last night that weren't made that easily could've turned that game around. The last couple starts have been pretty good actually IMO but since we started playing these teams with better records & starting pitching the bats have went a little quiet. They need to get those guys setting out healthy & more than 1 or 2 bats knocking the ball around. Even Cruz has been struggling since he came back . I'm starting to like what we've got in the bullpen now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
