Maybe they'll accidentally leave Varland behind? lol

It's satisfying for us that pay attention to collectively be proven right while he was proven wrong.

Insert "the point" GIF...

I'm so glad Tommy P has now had the entire month of April to "see what we've got in the guys we have". No one could have predicted that this bullpen would be a mess.

It's an objective way to measure the decline in fan interest. But with ticket giveaways, etc., it's a moving target.

I wonder what the attendance count would be if they hadn't given away tickets for these games. That wasn't an accident as a way to bump these numbers.

There was a good discussion on Reddit about this. Apparently the players (when they were testing this) favored a challenge system over just letting the computer correct wrong calls immediately, which is what I'd think we as fans would like to see. That said, I agree this could be done in 5 seconds without the graphic and advertisement. The theory I read in that discussion is that MLB wants the sponsorship on that graphic.

Some would say they work out too much. Lewis has been accused of working out for bulk vs. for health & fitness, too.

This is an interesting consideration I wish I would have thought of.

That's a lot of ifs.

Seems pretty obvious to me that considering Casper was their third option in 2025 they needed a new third option. When one catcher goes down, which is inevitable, you need two viable options. If they move Jeffers, they need two guys. When they lose Jeffers at the end of 2026 no matter what, they have two guys.

At the deadline any remaining assets will be on the table. They're clearly looking to either hope for good luck or tread water until the deadline when they can remove the few remaining assets after 2025 and finally admit they are rebuilding.

Falvey trying to salvage a shred of his reputation going into Twins Fest?

What a waste of a suspension considering how well they worked for him.

You made me laugh.
