  1. We have 19 minutes to trade for the Mets GM because, hey, at least that guy is entertaining.
  2. They can spin it however they want, I don't see this fanbase taking the bait.
  3. It’s getting close to that point, for sure.
  4. I really don’t like the feeling I get one second after refreshing the MLBTR Twins page.
  5. I've never been this stressed out about a deadline before. I don't like the feeling.
  6. If Romo is the best reliever traded, I hope the Twins go find another Romo and trade for him. Or go find a starter and move Perez to the bullpen. I won't fault them for not getting an elite arm if no elite arms are traded but I will fault them for sitting on their hands.
  7. Mostly, the offense can't lay down and die, in particular they can't let a Marlins starter go eight innings. Post four runs against the Marlins and you win the vast majority of the time. The Twins pitching staff can be mediocre and hold that crapfest of an offense to two runs pretty easily.
  8. There really is no excuse, especially relief help. The Twins are absolutely loaded with the type of players it takes to get a relief arm (B/C prospects). If the front office can't identify a few of those players they don't really like in the first place and move them for at least one reliever, that's a pretty massive failure on their part.
  9. He called a strike, then ejected Bauer and most of the centerfield fans. And sued them.
  10. No, you're *also* right. The other Fangraphs stat has him around 36%, but I rely more on their PitchFX stats, which has him just over 40%. Potato, Poh-tah-to. The point is the same. He doesn't throw strikes.
  11. We're still in July and the Twins are closing in on the '64 team in homers. Amazing.
  12. Per Pitch Info on Fangraphs, his Zone % is 41.7. That's pretty awful, unless you have a pitch that makes MLB hitters panic on a regular basis. And Romo throws that pitch constantly.
  13. Woof. This is 2019. Last year, all of 12 pitchers threw 200+ innings. The highest topped out at 220. Only 32 pitchers even threw 180 innings or more. That's basically one per team. Adjust your expectations. Baseball is not the same game it was 40 years ago. Hell, it's not even close to the same game it was 20 years ago.
  14. I haven't watched him in awhile but tonight seemed a bit out of character because many of his pitches weren't competitive. Maybe that's who he is now, I hope it's not. He was amped up and threw a few pitches that bent right back at RHB, hitting one of them. I'll chalk it up to nerves for one outing against his old team.
  15. You're lamenting that replacements aren't closer for a guy who has two more years of control and another guy that has three more years of control? What about Rosario? Kirilloff will likely be ready in a year or so, that's a pretty good replacement offering. Lewis isn't far behind him. No team has replacements ready for 24-26 year old players at every position. If they did, that team would have the most historically awesome minor league system ever.
  16. I am so out of touch that I literally found out two minutes ago that Baseball Tonight is now a weekly show. What the hell, ESPN. The one sport that plays every day and you can't bother to do a nightly show? This is why I cut the cord 15 years ago but decided to buy Hulu cable this season because fighting through VPNs just makes it not worth it after awhile. I care more about being able to catch two innings of baseball while my kids are in the bath than saving $40/mo.
  17. It depends which Puig they get. The one the Reds got, not a big deal. He's been a worse hitter than Cron and slightly better than Schoop, who we all seem to hate around here. That other Puig is quite a bit scarier.
  18. I think people are overreacting a bit about the Buxton comment for the reasons you listed but let's be honest, it's also worth a laugh. A healthy Buxton, should that ever happen, is potentially an 8 WAR player. The 2019 Buxton that seems to hurt himself every fourth day (thankfully, not badly) is basically on par with Syndergaard for the season. Oh, and the Twins control Buxton for one more season than the Mets do Syndergaard. Never mind that the Twins need Buxton because they're in the middle of a divisional race. Of course a Buxton request will get laughed out of the room.
  19. I still don't trust him but I no longer grimace when he comes to the mound.
  20. I think it's likely the Twins match up with New York in the ALDS. I don't see anyone passing Houston. But it sure would be nice to start those first two games in Minneapolis.
  21. This is likely going to be a low-scoring series. The Marlins are terrible offensively but have a pretty good rotation right now.
