    Kudos to the bullpen for a very efficient game on their part.

    ... after zero games in the majors while briefly on their 40-man. DFAs should revert to the previous team.

    All he does is Save.

    I said not enough. You changed it to nothing. Go ahead. Call up ERod. It won't change much. The FO drove the franchise into the ditch and it's going to take a while to pull it back out. It's going to take some time simply to determine how much blame Falvey himself bore, since ownership and his underlings remain.

    You can always find a team willing to trade a backup position player for your pitching prospect.

    The bar is really high in center field. To be deemed "average," there, is no slight. An average center fielder who bats in the middle of the lineup is valuable on any roster - it saves you from having to play a light bat to gain defense, or play a sub-par glove to gain offense.

    Bell at 1B is enough to gag a buzzard, but that's what happens when they keep signing DHs.
  9. ashbury
    How do we know? Has anybody thought to ask them to try?
  10. ashbury
    It's easy. Bell: his best position is probably DH. Install him there. Wallner: he profiles more as a DH going forward. Larnach: I guess you could DH him. Oh wait. I think I'm beginning to see the problem.

    Seems like our Twins have an awful lot of players with OPS below .600. More to the point, they have an awful lot of plate appearances invested in players with OPS below .600. I just took a look at the Blue Jays and sorted their batters by plate appearances - you have to go down to #9 to find their first guy with such a low OPS. On the Twins, you find them at #2 and #4.

    Well, the sequence I mentioned just now didn't involve switching devices or anything. It occurred within 10 minutes at most, maybe just 2 or 3.

    Are there multiple servers - or multiple virtual machines anyway?* Because the symptoms are hit-and-miss for me as well. I tried to click Like on somebody's post and got the error popup, and then a moment later I Liked someone else's post and it registered. * I acknowledge that my terminology may be outdated or even stupid. I used to do IT as part of my job, but 20 years since those days renders me unhirable if I ever were to try to get back to it. Hopefully you get what I'm asking.

    Amen can be used to mean, "it's over." 🙃

    I just clicked like on this and likewise got the correct result. Whether by luck or design, maybe something is fixed.

    One other possible clue: while I am unable to click "Like" on anybody's post (to my knowledge), I did receive notification that Chief "liked" one of mine. Don't know what might be different about his account than mine.

    Not sure when it started. Since I saw all the multiple posts, I was careful - the symptom I see is that when I click "Submit Reply" nothing visible happens, but if I open a new TD window my post is there. Meanwhile someone in the game thread posted this tidbit:

    Very true. I was responding to someone's plea to cut Outman. If I were in charge, I would call up ERod to replace Wallner who I would send down to AAA for some kind of tuneup. Outman's role limits the harm he has done so far at the plate. Wallner's not very suited as a backup, and if his bat isn't producing he doesn't even have the other tools that Outman does.

    Ted Six is a new nickname to me, but the Red Sox were in the postseason in 2021 and 2025.

    It's getaway day. They're just planning to forfeit.
  23. ashbury
    The consistent use of the word "anyone" permeates roster discussions, and honestly I don't find it constructive. We can release Rogers. The next guy will probably have an ERA in the 7s as well. The FO owns this, and by extension ownership does. We don't, and it's not up to us to cast about for solutions among the wreckage.
  24. ashbury
    Releasing dudes that offend us is the easy part. Who do they get replaced by? Simply calling up guys who aren't ready or never were or never will be is not a solution. Outman for ERod is the only combination that makes any sense with this depleted roster.
  25. ashbury
    Bad offense. Bad bullpen. Bad ... result from an off-season that barely addressed these issues.
