    Does Garver need PAs at this point, though? I'd be fine with sitting him more often and giving more development space to Jeffers and Rortvedt.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Because even if Colome is successful next season, there are a dozen other guys who can be equally effective for the same price. Go get one of those guys without the baggage.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, I don't care. He may be a successful reliever again next year and good for him. He simply needs to go somewhere else.

    Congratulations to Andrew Albers, I'm happy he finally received another shot at playing in Major League Baseball. If they want to keep him around for a little bit, I guess that's fine. They can remove Gant and Barnes from the rotation and put in players with a future in an MLB rotation.

    That was a vintage Duffey curve. Damn.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    That was a fine plate appearance from Byron. Sometimes you get beat, especially if the ump has a big zone.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    I've ripped the Albers thing pretty consistently but he's pitching well. I still don't think he'll ever be a real option but he's pitching well right now and good for him.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Not that, getting locked up on a clear strike. He was straight-up fooled by the pitch.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, damn it all.

    Well, that doesn't happen to Jorge often.

    There comes a point where you owe something to the fans, particularly season ticket holders who bought into this season a year ago: and that is a non-embarrassing product, particularly when there are exciting options you choose not to use because reasons.

    Ian Gibaut. Really? REALLY?!?!?!

    My thoughts: This is, in a word, bull****.

    28 is the max but look at the current roster. If they have the will, there are at least five easy cuts ready to be made.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    It’s particularly a non-issue for starters, as they have five days to get to St Paul, check in for a day, and then make a 20 minute drive to Target Field.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree, though maybe they just slide him into a bullpen role to ease his innings off and also get him some experience in MLB. It's not as if the Twins don't have space in the bullpen for him.

    In a recent interview, Baldelli talks about the value of experience and implies that there may be (multiple, hopefully) pieces inbound to Minnesota as we head into the final month of the season. In the following MLBTR link, they speculate that not only Joe Ryan but also Jordan Balazovic may be headed to Minnesota soon. While Ryan seems like a given to me, Balazovic is a moderate surprise. On top of those two names, I'd be disappointed if Drew Strotman and/or Jovani Moran didn't get a call as well. I mean, why not? I'll understand if they don't call up all five guys at once - that could create some 40-man situations as soon as the season ends - but right now, this front office should be taking a long, hard look at the 40-man and readily jettisoning players who simply are not key components to the Twins' future: Derek Law, Kyle Barraclough, Andrew Albers... the list is easily 5-6 pitchers deep at this point and I'd argue maybe even double digits if they really want to get axe-happy. Get rid of them. All of them. If they want to keep some promising arms like Farrell or Colina, whatever, that's fine. But now is the time to start cleaning house. Sure, leave enough room for returning IL pitchers they want to keep and then some additional room for free agents but it's long past time to release the hopeless waiver wire guys that have populated this roster since April. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/sox-activate-yasmani-grandal-royals-brad-keller-injury-twins-rumors-top-prospects.html

    John Gant shouldn't have started once for the Twins but I'll give them one shot at making a mistake. But by god, JOHN GANT SHOULDN'T HAVE STARTED A SECOND GAME. My patience is all but done with this front office. We see increasingly feeble offerings from the pitching staff while nothing is done about it except throw more bad options at the wall and hope that maybe, just maybe, one of them will not pitch well but maybe pitch to an ERA under 5.00. What a colossal waste of every fan's time this season has been.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    How often do you see a pitcher fresh to MLB be dropped directly into the closer role on any team?
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    There’s a zero percent chance of that happening.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Those Baseball Savant rankings. ?
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I also consider Sano a non-position player at this point because Kirilloff would be better at first. And then there’s Larnach, who’s a bit of a trash fire in left. Lots of hitters, too few gloves.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I simply disagree with the premise that the deal was about SWR and not attempting to become better mid-season. Whether their playoff chances were low or not, they weren't astronomically low. They had legit chances to improve and took them. This particularly applies to the 2019 Mets because #lolmets is definitely a thing for a reason. That franchise is so erratic, trying to make sense of their "plan" is often an exercise in futility. On the other hand, going into July 31st, FanGraphs had the Jays' postseason odds at 33%. Given how they play in the AL East, that's worth taking a chance every time, especially if it improves chances the following season as well. It's not as if the Jays can just sit back and wait for a better window in that division.
