    I'm not defending their roster management at large because it's groan-worthy. All I'm rebutting is the fact they didn't have a 25th man waiting in Boston in case a trade happened.

    I'm reluctant to trade Gibson because starting pitching is so hard to replace... but if a team is willing to pay for Pressly's peripherals, you make that trade. The dude has drool-worthy peripherals and is cost-controlled at pennies on the dollar of his value. But the return has to be good. Really, really good. But Gibson should also be floated because there seems to be a lack of top flight starters on the market this deadline. Though I don't know how much Gibson's extra year of control plays in a deadline deal. Hard to say.

    It was an uncatchable ball and I was a little unfair with that post... but Max made it look as ugly as possible.

    The manager isn't going to be notified until the deal is done and signed. The media leapfrogs those steps all the time and announces trades that are close to final but have yet to be finalized properly. How do you think the media scoops all these stories without knowing what is coming back in return? They get enough info to be confident that something is going down but don't have the specifics because it hasn't actually happened yet. And you don't keep your manager in the loop over negotiations. You let him know when the deal is done.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    None of us saw that coming.

    You make the trade when the trade is available. If you sit on your hands in a "what if" situation to get a win when you're throwing the white flag, Arizona might just hang up and find someone else to deal with overnight.

    It was close to uncatchable. The thing didn't get more than 20 feet off the ground. Max made it look just about as ugly as he could but he wasn't going to catch that ball.

    1. I doubt the front office told the Diamondbacks they had to make a decision more quickly in case the Twins needed a 25th man to win a game the night they're selling off one of their better hitters. 2. Rochester is playing in Louisville tonight.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Bwahahahahahahahah Rosario. Jesus Christ.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Come on, Max. That was embarrassing.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    That changeup was absurd. Rodney is not human. He's my age.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Go with Rodney. It will be entertaining.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Holy ****. This ****ing guy.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Boston is getting away with some luck and a lot of sloppy play/pitching tonight.

    Baseball is a 162 game season. For the same reason I get pissed at Buxton for running into the wall to catch a third inning out, I don’t want to see the best hitter on the team turn an ankle just to step on a guy.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    That was the right move. The runner has more of a chance of serious injury than a guy taking a cleat in the leg or back.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Dunno if that was a “great” double play so much as a “series of bad throws that somehow worked out”, Dick.

    Trading Escobar and recalling Sano in his place is exactly what this team should be doing, as much as it pains me to say (for two reasons: I don't really like giving up and Escobar may be my favorite player on the team).
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Just pulled up the box on my phone and it tells me that Lynn has thrown 47 pitches, 35 of which went for strikes. Against Boston. In Boston. That's a typo, right? I assume it should read 97 pitches.

    More than anything, I'm questioning this front office's "short game". Their backup acquisitions and waiver wire deals have been pretty bad and not the kind of risky bad you roll with when it doesn't work; it's the kind of bad that makes you roll your eyes when it happens and the results usually play out exactly as expected. With that said, I have no idea how to evaluate their long game, which is what will really matter if/when the Twins enter legitimate contention status. We can second-guess and complain about their 23-25 man roster moves but ultimately when combined, they might add up to a couple of wins difference in the grand scheme of things. What really matters is getting the big things right in the first place: drafting, signing, development. Getting it right there can be 4-6 wins from a single player. Also, while I have issues with this front office's management of catcher and the outfield backups, they were basically wedged into a corner when their catcher, shortstop, veteran "ace" (ugh, hate that term), centerfielder, and third baseman basically took a pass on this season for various reasons. Few teams could or would recover from that kind of setback.

    When Castro went down, people were excited to see Garver. I thought the loss of Castro was possibly the worst thing that could happen to Garver. It appears Garver is improving but I think he could improve more backing up Castro.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    It went public in 2015, maybe? Possibly even early 2016. I can't remember now.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    It's acceptable if he either OPSes well over .800 or improves his catching by a considerable amount. He doesn't have to be a good catcher, he just needs to be better than he is now. The current Mitch Garver is still a bad player at a .775 OPS. I can barely watch the guy catch and I'm far from a catching guru, I can just see when someone is truly bad at the craft.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep.

    I sold off my stocks last year but the one I wanted to hold on to was Square because I saw huge growth coming. As it turned out, I needed that last $4-5k to finish off the mortgage so I sold that as well. Damn. My original investment would now be at x7 in 24-28 months (can't remember exactly when I purchased but I got it at rock bottom not long after the IPO, something like $10-11/share). I mean, I still sold at x3 my investment, but damn... x7 is huge.
