Yankees beat the Twins, 10-4

Big win for the Yankees. Their bullpen won the battle tonight but i'm struck by the fact that 5 of the 7 runs the Twins' pen gave up were by guys outside of their top 5. Gibson and Stashak. Gotta get your best guys in there when it's close
Josh Herzenberg
11:27
Couldn't agree more
Especially with such a strong front line in the pen

11:27
meanwhile, that was a 25-pitch inning for Strasburg but his total pitch count is still just 72
11:29
And with that, the fact that this isn't going to be a no-hitter in LA, and that I'll be in the press box at Yankee Stadium tomorrow, I'm going to tap out and crack open an adult beverage

Enjoy, Jay!

Josh is going to stick around, though, so you're in good hands!

11:30
what do you think Strasburg's max pitch count is tonight? Like would they go 120+?
Josh Herzenberg
11:31
I would say they'll have a fairly liberal pitch count for him, yeah
J
11:33
Per Joel Sherman, Dobnak starts tomorrow for Min, Odorizzi G3

How much more does Cole get that Strasburg on the market? How much does postseason play this year factor into that?
Josh Herzenberg
11:34
Have to imagine quite a bit more. He's two years younger, has a longer track record of durability, no major injury history, and has been a good bit better
11:35
I don't think the postseason would (or should) factor into anything related to free agency for anyone ever
11:37
FYI to all of you here -- there hasn't been a drop off in readers, so I'll stick around as long as you guys do to continue chatting. Feel free to keep submitting questions and comments as we roll

How much do you think Strasburg improved his future contract outlook by going over 200 innings this year
Josh Herzenberg
11:38
I think it'll be a big factor w/r/t years, more so than AAV
Go Barves!
11:40
Josh, I don't think I've seen you chat this year on FG. What's your background, interest, vibe? How can we, the chatters, fit into your particular brand a la Kiley and DanZzzz
Josh Herzenberg
11:40
Haha. I spent three years scouting and coaching in the minor leagues for the Dodgers. We can chat about whatever you guys would like
5 Run Homer
11:41
In other words, what silly tangents will you indulge?
Josh Herzenberg
11:41
I'll let Kiley handle Matt Damon-esque things
weezy
11:42
did you work with any current dodgers?
Josh Herzenberg
11:42
A little bit, yeah
Mick
11:43
More of a Ben Affleck type guy then?
Josh Herzenberg
11:43
Absolutely
Sugar dragon
11:44
Rank these pitchers over the next 3 years (walker Buehler, jack flaherty, Tyler glassnow
Josh Herzenberg
11:44
That order seems plausible
lee
11:44
Are there particular Nats hitters you think May would be better/worse against (and why)?
Josh Herzenberg
11:45
He'd probably be worse against Rendon and better against Strasburg
Belli Flop
11:46
Pedro Baez in for LAD
Boch
11:46
As a former dodgers guy, how much better run is their operation than the giants was pre-Farhan?
Josh Herzenberg
11:46
I don't know enough about SFG to say and, truthfully, I wouldn't do so publicly if I did
weezy
11:46
how does scouting/coaching work? Do you spend most of your time with one team? Or on the road like a typical area scout?
Josh Herzenberg
11:47
I covered North Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas and then right after the draft, I left and spent the remainder of the summer through the end of instructional league coaching
5 Run Homer
11:48
I will say, Josh Herzenberg is maybe the most middle reliever-y name I’ve seen on FanGraphs
Josh Herzenberg
11:48
I've been told worse, so I'll take that as a compliment
11:49
A very LA moment: Delaying a playoff game to retrieve a beach ball on the field
11:52
Kolarek and May up in the pen. Soto is on deck
lee
11:53
You wrote the called up piece on May, right? That was fun to read--must be amazing to watch him make the postseason roster
Josh Herzenberg
11:53
Yes. Thanks. Shameless plug: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/called-up-dustin-may/
