  1. Rocco playing to win now. Love it!!
  2. Now he can't pinch hit for Garlick. Hmmm. I didn't get it either. I thought maybe Miranda was hurt.
  3. Yes, and his debut (7) was the highest until today.
  4. Leave it all out there, Smeltzer!!
  5. Wow ... Look who's suddenly a K-machine!
  6. Not watching, but ... Did he mention that Arraez hadn't struck out since Father's Day? Dick would do something like that.
  7. Hopefully not infield dirt/warning track sandcastle building ... I've seen that, and things go awry quickly.
  8. As Jordan Peterson would say, "Let's get precise!" Archer "may earn additional $9.5M in performance bonuses based on starts and appearances of 3 innings or more". The bonus structure is setup like this: Appearance Incentives $250,000 each for 12, 14 [BOTH EARNED as of 6/25] $500,000 each for 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 $750,000 each for 26, 28, 30, 32 He gets $2.75M as a base salary, but has a $3.5m guarantee for 2022. I'm not sure if that extra $750K is because of the buyout on the $10M option for 2023. That part is confusing for me, so I would welcome an explanation, if someone knows. So at this point, he should be at $3.25M (Base + Earned Incentives) and $4M guaranteed. Cot's says an additional $9.5M ($13M total?), but the Spotrac info shows that $9.5M is the max guaranteed. The Twins have received good value on the earned part so far, and they appear to have a good deal going forward, if Archer can just continue to do what he's been doing. I'd like to see the walks come down and the innings to go up, but I can't complain about this as a fifth starter and positive veteran influence to all the young pitchers.
  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. Bard from Colorado would be my top choice. He won't cost as much as a rental. If the Angels don't turn it around and decide to sell a bit, Aaron Loup would be worth a tire kick. He's got a bigger contract, but he's a lefty and probably won't cost a prospect haul. Finally, if Oakland would want to sell low on Trivino, he would be a longer term option. His 7+ ERA doesn't seem to matchup with his sub-3 FIP. I doubt Oakland trades him for low-ranked non-40 prospects, but it would be worth a call.
  12. Hopefully by the end of the season some of Urshela's smile can rub off on Kirilloff.
  13. Bravo! Next do the one where Buxton is supposed to be a full-time DH. Click-bait articles like the one you countered need to be destroyed. Yes, that "take" didn't age well at all.
  14. If that isn't tyranny, I don't know what is.
  15. Obviously I need to learn me some TD link usage skulls
  16. They just need to get Sano back.
  17. Don't worry. There will still be plenty of human errors in the field, on the mound, in the box and in the dugout. The more invisible the officiating is the better.
  18. I hope this sends Cleveland into a tailspin.
