    Why is Paredes still included in the bullpen usage chart? Also, Raya isn’t shown.

    Unfortunately, I'll be out of town Wednesday. My kids wanted to see Shohei, so we'll just have to hope we catch a Shohei homerun during a 10-1 Twins victory tonight.
  3. Whammy
    Worth noting... I'm 3-0 in person this season.

    Cody dropping a "vociferous" on us knuckle draggers!
  5. Whammy
    Thanks. Also, I just noticed the Cody Christie article on the subject

    I can't believe that when you wrote this article (before Saturday's game) he had only played 61 innings at SS. I was certain that was wrong. It was correct. He's at 79 now, after having started there the last two games.

    I knew of the potential strike, but I don't really know what workers are under the same umbrella. Does Truly-on-Deck fall under the same umbrella? How about the people selling concessions in the stands?
  8. Whammy
    I'll be watching this one in person tonight.
  9. Whammy
    Just not Toronto
  10. Whammy
    I’d love it if we tried to find out again today.
  11. Whammy
    It was a dry 101
  12. Whammy
    101 from Taj is something!
  13. Whammy
    Walking the leadoff guy wasn’t great. But yeah, the pie chart of blame for that inning is something like CP: 20% TG: 45% LK: 15% BL: 20%
  14. Whammy
    Well, we’re up to 5 potential outs so far this inning. Only 2 actual outs
  15. Whammy
    Man, Keaschall not turning that DP might be costly. Such a slow turn.
  16. Whammy
    It remains equal parts confusing and annoying that Apple hasn’t added the ABS challenge tracker to their ScoreBug.

    For what it's worth I can't find a Tom Pohlad quote with any version of "contend" in it. I've found: "exceed expectations" "be competitive" "That's ridiculous" (related to the 72.5 O/U)
  18. Whammy
    I'm curious to see the exact Pohlad quote. It might seem like splitting hairs, but I wonder if he said "contender" or "contend for a playoff spot" I feel like we've been down this road before, but what would you consider a successful 2026 Twins season to look like?
  19. Whammy
    The good news about having such a terrible bullpen is how easy/cheap it would be to upgrade it. Dodgers can't say that. They need to acquire premium talent for just a marginal upgrade. Advantage Twins!
  20. Whammy
    Perhaps Tom's confidence came, not from powerful confidence in his own team, but his deep knowledge of the AL and how bad they would be as a whole. Tom Pohlad, AL Whisperer. /s

    For me, if the Twins are really out of it (let’s say 8 or more under .500), then I’m trading Jeffers almost no matter what. Just get the best package you can. Catcher is going to need attention in 2027 no matter what happens. If the Twins are within, say, 3 games of the last wildcard spot, then I’m just riding it out with Jeffers unless some absolutely crazy package gets offered.
  22. Whammy
    Random Buxton trade thought (besides “I’m thoroughly against it)… With such a large percentage of his total potential compensation tied to MVP voting results, it would be really detrimental (financially) for him to accept a midseason trade to the NL. It would remove almost any chance of that bonus triggering.
  23. Whammy
    Since we're doing hypothetical thought exercises... Would you trade Ryan Jeffers straight up for Connor Wong. I'm ignoring the fact that Boston wouldn't have interest in a 2 month rental of Ryan Jeffers. But purely from a Twins perspective, would you rather have Ryan Jeffers for the rest of this season or Connor Wong potentially through 2028? Said another way, could we flip whatever trade package we get for Jeffers and get Wong with those same prospects?
  24. Whammy
    Playing both sides of the fence is rarely the right choice. Either sell at the deadline (Jeffers and Larnach for sure, with Ryan being a maybe), or add a few relievers on low wattage deals. Anything in between just feels silly.
  25. Whammy
    I mean, a top 100 prospect for a 2 month rental feels like asking for the moon.
