Orioles (Rogers) vs Twins (Kremer): 08/10/26, 6:40 PM

[Whammy]

If the bullpen is going to have an ERA of 18.00, it might as well be on a night where we score 9

There’s always a way to not give a guy credit for what he is doing all this year, Don’t forget SSS!

He's a third string catcher who they won't even play.  And you are telling me I won't give him credit for all his great contributions.

Whew. Yes, that was me pacing nervously and muttering to myself beyond the right field seats for the entire 9th 😅 

[Parfigliano]

Icotyde makes you hallucinate is what I got from that commercial. 

Wonder if my insurance pays for it?

1 game a year is a lot easier to fill.

[Parfigliano]

BALT literally stole the 1 run they got off Kremer 

[RpR]

Captain Culpepper had 4 Ks but maybe if is because he is still looking for the big W,

Kremer trade is looking good. He was good on the post-game radio broadcast too.

Good win

It didn't say anything of the sort.  What, are you on Icotyde or something?

I only say what I say. It started as Al Franken “kidding on the square.” I know by now one can’t tell you anything anyway. You are welcome to diminish what he has done when given playing time, if you like.

It is fascinating. That’s how far baseball has come. Maybe he finally gets a multi year contract he deserves with his defensive stats this year. 

I mean it comes down to the zero power and the widely perceived need to play 1B to avoid being too much of a defensive liability. I just think he’s stuck in the same market as a 1B only guy (his lack of speed doesn’t help) with an OBP of 320-ish and SLG of 470-ish. Those guys don’t exactly grow on trees, but they’re not rare enough to make him super valuable, either.

I like him in front of Schwarber. It’ll be interesting what the reviews end up being on his second run at second base.

The game.

Am I the only one who has seen enough of Adams and Rogers?  I know they love Travis' strikeouts and will be giving Taylor the Caleb Thielbar sentimental treatment, but we have seen promise in Jack Anderson which has continued in St Paul, and Julian Merryweather is off to a great start with his return.  I just don't see how we can expect to compete for a playoff spot and expect to count on the two we saw tonight.

Easier when they play 2-3 nights in a city all year no?

Sigh.

 

Was it a good one?

[Whammy]

Can we talk about something really important for a sec…

That dude bubble wrapping his car is going to be really annoyed with himself for not using the mirror to anchor that strip running back across his hood. With no anchor point, that last loop of bubble wrap is just going to fall right off the front of his car.

Woof.  7-1 lead to a nailbighter.  JfC.

I’d prefer the give Rogers they Joey Gallo “no, buddy, you’re injured and need to go on the 60 day IL” treatment

Noah Kahan drew 40k at Target Field last Wednesday. A number that’s exactly as relevant as how many went to the Savannah Bananas games over the weekend.
