  1. It seems his ship has been getting further and further off course since 2020. You just can't give up jacks at the rates he has the past season and a half and expect success. This season he's added in a crappy walk rate, which has made it even worse. I'd draw from the chance pile of Minaya, Cano, Hamilton or Sisk.
  2. Sweep the Sox!!!!

      Nice jinx, man! ;) 

  3. It's probably best for them to put him on the IL and let him heal. I have no problem with them going to a lesser pitcher to fill out their rotation for awhile. Lopez is probably the best option. He has great career numbers against the Twins from my POV. ?
  4. Dollars to Donuts someone on Orioles Daily "has had it and is absolutely done with Jorge Lopez."
  5. Overall, I'm definitely in the corner with those fed up with the bullpen right now, but I don't see how this was a "bullpen meltdown" game. Polanco needs to make that throw for one. Minaya certainly did his job getting out of the 8th and putting up a zero in the 9th. 21 outs in a row is what put the team in that position. Thankfully Arraez and Buxton saved their best for last.
  6. Buxton, Arraez and Ryan lead the team to victory. I could get used to that.
  7. 27th man for a DH. That won't affect his status on the option rules, so he wouldn't be useful on the big league roster for a few days anyway.
  8. I'd like to say Strotman or Henriquez, but looking at their MiLB numbers this year ... ? It might be time for a reset of both the big league bullpen and some of these spots on the 40-man.
  9. Sorry, but the burger and fries basket is garbage. Cheap bun, dry burger and overly salted fries. Tony O's will probably still be what I get, if I ever go back and they don't raise the price of that up to $15 as well. It used to be $10 and included chips. For $13, I'll make them make me a fresh one and leave the grab 'n' goes for others. Red Cow Sliders are good, but overpriced. Senior Smokes used to have Walking Tacos for a decent price, but I think they pulled them from the menu in 2021 (could have been 2019). Lame.
  10. I don't know that he will be a buy low candidate, because Oakland can see the same stats that don't make sense. Trivino is worth a call, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is sticker shock. Falvey will be dealing with Billy Beane, not Eric Cartman.
  11. Would have loved to see Buxton bunt in the 10th. Only one run was needed to win the game, and he's created havoc with his speed in the past. He squared around once, but the pitch wasn't even close. I guess that part of his game has been basically shelved at this point.
  12. Logan Gilbert is an up and coming star, so I'm not at all surprised with the lack of offense against him. With that said, the offense does need to be more consistent. The lack of adjustments against the soft-tossing Gonzales was annoying, especially considering the team's history of pounding him. The training room is where this team needs the biggest upgrades. Can the Twins trade Tyler Duffey, Elliot Soto and Brian Duensing (after coaxing him back) for a top 100 PT and sleeper Soft Tissue Specialist?
  13. Great game from Jeffers! I was hoping for a Gary/Larnach combo in the lineup, but I'm glad I was wrong. He really came through and caught a shutout while doing it. Oh, and if Luis Torrens were to happen to leave this planet and end up in that hot place, I'm pretty sure his punishment would be to play the top of that 8th inning for all eternity.
  14. Lead down to 2.5 games, and now the Twins have lost more games than Cleveland. Hopefully, the Twins will continue raking against Marco Gonzales and win this season series.
  15. Why are they manipulating service time when Kirilloff doesn't play the position of need ATM? Here is the MLBTR article on Soto's call up. It clearly states the reasoning for his selection.
  16. I understand Soto over Kirilloff for the short term. Polanco and Gordon are both dealing with naggining injuries, and I'm sure they want Palacios to keep playing every day. Soto is an emergency shortstop who can be DFA'd with little consequence. He can ride the pine and maybe get one day in the 9-hole when Rocco thinks Correa needs to DH or rest. Trov provided a possible explanation for the delay on a Kirilloff return, but I'm hopeful this will all work out after some rest for Gordon and Polanco and this west road trip wrapping up. Hopefully, AK's wrist just needed a little more time to get back into baseball shape after the stupid, weird off-season that led to the ST delay. His numbers of late sure make it seem that way.
  17. Unless CES moves up or gets hurt, he looks like he'll walk away with the Midwest POY (if there is such a thing). Runs - 4th Hits - 1st Doubles - 2nd Triples - 10th Home Runs - 2nd RBI - 1st AVG - 7th SLG - 3rd OPS - 2nd
  18. Since when is Cody Stashak a starter, and is anyone really surprised that Jose Miranda is hitting home runs? Martin is a great piece for making a trade when his trade value is declining? No logistical reason for keeping (19 yo) Noah Miller in the system? What does acquiring Montas or Mahle have to do with giving Cotton more growth opportunities? A lot of this doesn't make any sense.
