    Ahhh, there you go. So I was right, I simply didn't notice a rules change.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Good to know, thanks. I thought anyone not on the 25-man at the end of August had to be an injury replacement of some kind. I didn't know all it required was a 40-man spot.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    I think they have something in Ft Myers but I’m not sure.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Buxton hasn’t even announced when he’ll rehab. The likelihood of him being back before September is pretty small, I think.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't care about the regular season but I kinda want Astudillo on the postseason roster for flexibility at catcher and the value of having a guy on the bench close and late when you absolutely need contact.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    It makes more sense to give him a break in September, as you can fill in with Thorpe, Smeltzer, or whomever and not worry about fiddling with the roster. And no need for the IL in September.

    Chicago isn't awful so that might be asking a bit much. 9-4 sounds good to me. 8-5 will enter dangerous territory. They need to win two out of three games for the next couple of weeks.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Astudillo won't be back before September because there's no space for him on the roster.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd be surprised if they're September call-ups. While you can play the injury shuffle and get a player into the postseason who was a September call-up, I think one of Graterol and Alcala will be up in August to avoid difficulty if the Twins *also* want to put a guy like Astudillo on the postseason roster (though unlikely). I don't think both pitchers make the August roster, there's just not enough room and the bullpen is pretty solid right now, but there's certainly room to squeak one of them on by August 30th.

    Actually, I'm rather unconcerned with the pen at this point. With Dyson back in the mix, Rogers should get plenty of breathers (and his load has been pretty light for the past week+). My biggest questions going forward are: 1. Buxton? Will he be here in September and will he be the 2019 Buxton? 2. Berrios, Gibson, Odorizzi. What version will we get and is there anything Baldelli can do to relieve them a bit to make sure they're good going into October? Sure, it's possible the Twins don't make October and that'd be a travesty. But the AL is pretty fierce this season. I'm only wondering if there's a way to start easing up on some of the starters who either haven't missed a start or have barely missed time and still remain competitive.

    HE'S SO MUCH FUN
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    That’s one hell of a write-up, Nick. I don’t think you missed a single thing of note this week.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    It was bound to equal out in time but it’d still be nice to see a team that launches moonshots at a historic pace manage to occasionally do it with the bases juiced.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    It stings to look back at that second Brewers game and realize the Twins were *this close* to a 6-0 road trip.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    A four game sweep against a mediocre team on the road in a sweltering hellhole of a city. I’ll take it.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't care how it happens and what it takes but Buxton needs to stay on the field. I'm convinced the Twins have dropped at least 3-4 games solely because he wasn't roaming center field (never mind his bat versus Cave's bat). Crashing into the wall is spectacular - and sometimes necessary - but it doesn't need to happen all the time in the sixth inning of a random game in July.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Huge win. Huge.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Were any impact arms even traded today? Other than Greinke, of course. But he wasn’t coming here.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    I think it was an acceptable deadline. I’m not thrilled but it was acceptable.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I hate to break it to you but when it comes to $50m+ being in play, Houston is going to have the advantage every time. Then there’s the NTC to get around, which likely killed any chance of a deal before it could begin.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    What’s BS about it? We know Greinke had Minnesota on his NT clause.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    That would require the Twins to claim home field advantage in the postseason, a tough goal to reach given yesterday's Astros team, much less today's Astros team.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins' share of those three states add up to less than a million people. The Houston metro area alone has 1.5 million more people than the entire state of Minnesota.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I doubt it, as Houston had a lot of payroll space for years and they play in one of the largest markets in the country. Their payroll is way higher today, especially once you add Greinke.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Boy, what a silly trade deadline re: starters. Stroman and Bauer go to non-contenders. Minor, Bumgarner, Wheeler, and others stay put. Only Greinke felt like a normal move.
