Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Great outing by Nolasco. Twins hang on to win it will be his 100th career win.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Well they have me excited so much so that I just got 4 tics for the June 19th game against the Cubs. No lose game for me since the Cubs are my second team.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

It already disgusts me that the Twins will act like getting Santana back in July is the same as making a move near the trade deadline to improve the team.

Meaning if they are in contention they will likely do nothing.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

I just heard Jeff Pasolt say that part of the punishment assigned to Santana is that he won't be available for the post season if the Twinks should get there. So they better not act as though this is a mid-season pickup. Though, knowing how the Pohlads have treated this team during the past few years...

It's pretty easy to say that when your win expectation was 69 this year. If he's our best pitcher in the 2nd half I can guarantee he'll somehow magically appear in the playoffs should they make it.

No, he's ineligible for the playoffs.

This is old news

It may be old news, but a lot of people weren't really paying attention when they expected the team to lose another 90+ games this year. Now that they're a viable team to at least be entertaining, people are paying attention and what's old will become new again.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Yeah, I thought we had discussed it on here. It was on GPL.

Which will be awesome, if the Twins make the playoffs, and Santana then has to sit out. :roll:

Santana should be eligible for post-season play, unless something changed in the PED policy right?

It changed. If you are suspended during the season you are ineligible for the Playoffs.

Wait, really? That seems bizarre. I'm surprised the MLBPA went with that.

They changed it due to all the anger about Jhonny Peralta and Nelson Cruz being eligible for the playoffs after their PED test fail in the 2013 season. They enacted it along with the longer PED suspensions (from 50 to 80 for failure #1 and 100 to 160 for failure #2).
I think it was the MLBPA's idea. Or at least fully supported by them.
Makes it a stiffer penalty and (hopefully) bigger deterrent for people to stay clean.

Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Ya, I wouldn't touch GPL with a 40 ft pole. So I missed this change.

Let's get win 300 tonight!
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Scoring runs early is great. But not scoring the rest of the game makes me nervous.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Hughes being an idiot and grooving fastballs to Pedroia. Two 2-R HR, and a double so far.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2014: The Quest for .500

Molitor trying to over manage his bullpen in to a loss. Gets lucky and the 8th ends with no runs scoring for BOS.
