    It’s actually worse than arguing politics. They are arguing about politicians

    She looks like if you told AI to draw a generic human female.

    Rogers looked like he needed to take a crap on his trot in from the bullpen.

    Glad they brought in the lefty. Improved our defense
  5. Whammy
    Especially if it’s hot out

    I mean, I don’t love giving up hits, but these first batter walks have happened SO much recently. Much more frustrating than a slap single.
  7. Whammy
    Is it a rule that all Twins relief pitchers need to walk the first batter they face?
  8. Whammy
    The indirect result of Roden’s stupid ABS challenge, is Jeffers not pulling the trigger on challenging strike 3. These batters need to understand that.

    Had the base EASILY stolen if not for Gray’s strikeout.

    And a legendary strut off the mound.

    I’m glad at least one person got the reference. I was pretty happy with that one

    We’re on pace for a major league record of 9 double plays turned.
  14. Whammy
    Can we go back on the all star break please
  15. Whammy
    Notice how I have us playing two extra games? Good stuff by me.

    AQI is actually supposed to get really bad again in Chicago tomorrow evening (we play in the afternoon). Currently Sunday kind of looks like the worst of the 3 games, but smoke forecasting is pretty difficult.
  17. Whammy
    Current 7pm forecast from the site I've been using

    Brody Hopkins seems like a reasonable ask for a guy like Jeffers (Fringe top 100 guy, putting up so so numbers at AAA). Normally I'd say TB doesn't seem like a team that would trade young controllable pitching for a rental, but there are lots of Nelson Cruz for Joe Ryan comparables here.

    # of Starters used at least 2 times by each AL team so far in 2026 5 - CLE 6 - SEA 7 - TEX 8 - A's, BOS 9 - BAL, DET, KC, NYY 10 - LAA, MIN, TOR 11 - CHW, HOU, TB Looking at guys that have started at least once tells a similar story, but doing it this way removed some openers from the analysis.

    Only partially related... Cleveland has had the same 5 starters all year. Literally. There's not a single game started for them outside of those 5 dudes. Can you freaking imagine? What a luxury.

    This isn't a Liriano 2006 situation where you can't live without him in your rotation. He's been as good as could reasonably hope, but his production in the rotation is replaceable for relatively cheap on the trade market. Getting him through the season feeling good is priority #1.
  22. Whammy
    It looks like, assuming his blister issue has cleared up, he will have two more starts before the trade deadline. I'd say you use those two starts (and the team's success between now and then) to determine if you think you need to trade for a #4 starter at the deadline. It's not reasonable to expect him to be a "normal" starter through the end of the season. Picking up a mid to back end rotation piece at the deadline allows you to do what you probably SHOULD do, which is to let him start normally for his next 3-4 starts then shift him to the bullpen. Given the choice, of adding a 7th inning reliever at the deadline, or adding a 4th starter and making Prielipp a 7th inning guy for the rest of the season, I'd take the latter (I'd also add another reliever).
  23. Whammy
    Sure, but this is a "discussion board", not a "concise conclusion board"

    Who knows what the QO looks like after the new CBA, or if it exists at all, but one thing I’ve been thinking about is the idea that you’d almost never give a QO to a catcher or a relief pitcher, because it’s so much higher that the AAV those positions typically get in free agency. What if they changed it to be more like the NFL and the franchise tag. The mechanics of baseball’s Qualifying Offer could work the same as it does now, but the one year contract value could vary based on position. I believe in the NFL the franchise tag contract value is equal to the average of the top 5 salaries at that position. I don’t think top 5 is the right answer for MLB. Maybe it’s top 3 or maybe top 5 + 30%. And I don’t think you need to get TOO specific on the position. Maybe it’s 5 categories of IF, OF, C/DH, SP, RP
  25. Whammy
    I gave MLB too much credit. The Twins play the A’s twice pretty early and don’t play the White Sox at all until the middle of June
