    Yep, Gibson just needs to keep his head screwed on straight, throw bloody strikes, and let the offense pound a bad opposing starter.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    He has played in every game since he returned from the IL in the middle of July so likely just a scheduled day off.

    See, I think Romo lines up really well against the Yankees and Astros, though I *absolutely* want another pitcher better than him by the deadline. As we saw in the Yankees series, they were often throwing out eight righties and Gregorius. The Astros' top ten (all the qualifying batters + Springer) are made up of seven righties and just three lefties. Romo's RHB OPS against is just .632 this season. Sergio is a good step in the right direction for postseaosn alignment but more is definitely needed.

    Because you’re paying a premium for Stroman and throwing a full 33% of his control in the trash the moment you acquire him. And it’s not as if a good, not great, pitcher like Stroman can’t be found in the offseason. And I literally just said I get why most teams are in on Syndergaard so I don’t understand why you felt the need to repeat it again. But 2.5 years of control is considerably different than 1.5 years, especially when .5 of that control will be essentially wasted.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I get almost everyone being in on Syndergaard but aren’t the Padres also in on Stroman and others? That makes less sense.

    Both teams went for it in the offseason and refuse to back down from that idea for some unknown reason. Pack it in, boys. Trade off what expiring assets you have this year and try again next year. Paying prospect capital to essentially waste half a season of a player just seems... well, stupid, frankly.

    I suspect we see one of three things happen to fix the LHP situation, in order of likelihood: 1. The team lets it run with Thorpe or Smeltzer and hopes for the best 2. Trade for a starter, bumping Perez to the bullpen 3. Trade for another LHP With Rogers as your best bullpen piece, picking up one more good reliever allows Rogers to play in more of a lefty specialist role (put him in against a tough lefty late in a game but then leave him in for 2-3 more outs because he's that good), which mitigates the need for a dedicated LH specialist (though it'd still be nice to have one).

    I feel the opposite. Despite Cleveland closing the gap, I want some focus put on the postseason along with also winning regular season games. And Romo lines up really well against the Yankees and Astros, particularly the Yankees.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    This is exactly how I feel about it as well. I'm not looking for another Rogers - though that'd be nice, it may be unrealistic - but I want someone significantly better than Duffey, May, and even a step better than Romo (who is now the second-best arm in the pen).
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Like others are saying, this seems like a pretty logical move to shuffle around some pieces while picking up a middle relief arm. But they need something better so I'll reserve judgment until we get past the deadline.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    One run isn’t awesome in that situation but it’s the White Sox. I suspect other opportunities will come.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Woof. Miguel.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    This... makes a lot of sense.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Upon further consideration, I’d like to put an emphasis on people who would both make good moderators and appear regularly in game threads, if possible.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I completely forgot that Ivan Nova was still in baseball. And, looking over his stat line, what a fun surprise for the Twins offense.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    There’s a lot of MLB ready pitching in the org, the question is if any of it is good pitching. And if that’s what the Mets are looking for, it won’t be hard for other teams to beat the Twins’ offer in that regard.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I thought I heard he had resumed baseball activities but could be confusing that with someone else, as I heard it during the Yankees series and I was pretty drunk for that entire set of games.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I think the Mets can extrapolate Thorpe’s recent performances into starting if they’re interested. Unfortunately, if the Mets are truly seeking MLB ready pitching, the Twins don’t have a lot of that to offer. On the other hand, it’s pretty dumb to trade away a pitcher and expect a good MLB pitcher in return. If the Twins had a decent young starter, they wouldn’t need Syndergaard as much. But hey, it kinda seems like “stupid” and “Mets” go hand in hand nowadays.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    True. Expecting him to be dominant out of the gate is probably unfair, it’s just that the bullpen doesn’t have a lot of margin for error right now.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't find it surprising at all. He had over a year off baseball and scuffled a bit. After a couple of months of scuffling, he's good again. He's not a guy I want around forever but for a one year deal, he's a great addition.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    He's not going to be in Minnesota this season.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Also, I'm a Thorpe bobo but he didn't look good tonight. He got a bunch of bad hitters out and lucked out against the good hitters he faced. He was missing the mitt all over the place and threw wayyyyy too many pitches out of the zone. Disappointing, for sure.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins have "struggled" since the beginning of June. Their high water mark of being over .500 was 25 games. That came on July 13th. They're now 23 games over .500. Wow, this team is falling to pieces.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    THEY WILL WIN BY SEVEN RUNS
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I believe he started rehab just a day or two ago.
