    Thought it was obvious, but I was being sarcastic.

    Ball don't lie.

    Some stray thoughts from a guy that didn't watch the game due to a family dinner (happy bday pops). I don't remember ever seeing a Kepler oppo homer. I'm sure I have, but it looks strange nonetheless. Paddack is frisky for some post season action. As am I. Those City Connect unis are cool and I hope the Twins get some next year. And I hope they understand the assignment. I feel super bad for Ober. Not on the opening day roster and a good chance to be left off the post season roster. I'd feel worse if he wasn't a full foot taller than me, but I digress. I'm sad for the Mariners. Any team that has a Jon Bois series is a team to root for. In the event the Twins faltered, I was hoping for a Mariners-Marlins WS. That's poetic baby. Looking back on the Paddack and Pagan trade for Rogers (and someone else, probably not an all-star) in hindsight, doesn't look too bad. I was upset at the time because clearly we should've been working towards having Twins on OUR team, not the Giants, but yeah cool whatever. Go Twins, let's do that baseball.

    I'm lost on the Duran graph. What is it showing?

    Also, great write up! Always appreciate these, even more so when I have to miss most of the game.

    Nice series win against a stacked team. Love to see it. Is Pagan... good at baseball now? I'm beginning to believe it.

    Hope Farmer is ok. Sheesh that was hard to watch. That being said, Falvey did well forming the bench. Depth has been crucial so far. Big shoutout to MAT for holding down center until Bux can take over and for Donny B for being as advertised. This lineup could definitely use some juice from AK and Polanco. Lets go sweep them Yanks!

    I'd do that in a heartbeat, but I'm guessing he gets an 8+ year deal. I do think he'd be a really good at 3B if and when he loses some agility.

    Trading away Ramos showed two things; how unimaginative the coaching staff and FO at the time were and how poor they perceived the value of the catcher position. That trade would've looked a lot better were it for an actual stud reliever with team control. Also, Mauer had a history of injuries. Splitting time with Ramos would've been ideal. I'm thinking David Robertson would be the right move. Probably only cost a Low A prospect and he's long been a reliable arm with postseason experience to boot.

    I've been on vacation, so a big thanks to Matt for the write up. I always love the detail that is given and the work that goes into it. Couple of stray thoughts... 1. Love to see Smeltzer continue to befuddle hitters. Not sure if it's sustainable, but keep it up. We're all rootin for ya kid. 2. Not sure what's going on with Buxton. Hope i'ts nothing, but I'm always apprehensive with him. 3. Not gonnna shout (this is a lie) JOE SMITH THRIVES COMING INTO MESSES. STOP GIVING HIM CLEAN INNINGS THAT MAN LIVES TO INDUCE GROUNDERS IN TOUGH SITUATIONS. PUT HIM IN ONCE SOMEONE GETS OUT OF A JAM. Ok I'm calm. But his usage of late has seemed bad. Weak contact is a skilll, and it's suited for jams. Ok I'm calm. 4. Love Nicky G and the versatility he brings. Can't be stated enough how valuable a guy is that can play the IF and CF to spell guys. 5. Go Twins

    Jonathan Lucroy was dealt to the Rangers at the deadline after declining a trade that would've sent him to Cleveland. That's all I've got.

    I really like our rotation. I think it is a good one with potential for growth. It's enough to probably win the Central and promptly get bounced in the first round. We need to raise our ceiling if we want to make the ALCS, which we haven't done in a literal decade. Go get Frankie.
  13. railmarshalljon
    Is this team for real? I still have no idea. But they keep winning and that makes me happy. So I hope the winning continues.
  14. railmarshalljon
    With Sonny Gray trade, still hate it Tom? Gotta soften the blow a little at least.
  15. railmarshalljon
    Pun intended?
  16. railmarshalljon
    Love this for everyone. Hope this means we're not rebuilding/retooling and aiming to be competitive in '22.
  17. railmarshalljon
    Hypothetically, what would an extension look like for Buxton? Whatever it was talked about before the season started is certainly out the window now that he's been playing like an MVP.

    When you're making your resume for interview with The Onion in the future, don't forget to include this, Stu.
  19. railmarshalljon
    Doesn't hurt

    Unrelated, but the "veterans" at the hospital I work at always reminisce about that day. First and only (pretty sure) Code Orange we've had. It was pandemonium with all hands on deck we were running out of drugs we literally should never run out of. Funny thing to live throught such "interesting times"
  21. railmarshalljon
    Well put, Nate.
  22. railmarshalljon
    I'm done defending Cave after learning of his abysmal song choice.
  23. railmarshalljon
    Big swing and a miss on importance of sample sizes bud.
  24. railmarshalljon
    Someone is gonna sign Clippard and is gonna be very pleased with the results. He's a journeyman that deserves a steady home!
  25. railmarshalljon
    Almost certainly, yes. They'll be in an arms race (no pun intended) with Slam Diego all year and adding literally the best pitcher on the market should help them retain their throne.
