  1. I meant it as a hockey metaphor but it could be interpreted however you wish. Game threads aren't Hell but you can see it from here sometimes.
  2. Paving the way for the next line of riff raff to come in!
  3. They're at 38 players on that roster, so they don't need the room at the moment. SWR was DFAed not to free up 40-man room but to free up 26-man room.
  4. I like BREAKING, as long as an admin comes along 24 hours later and removes it.
  5. Uffda. Even if he passes through waivers and maybe makes a rebound with the Twins, this seriously degrades the rearview mirror grade on the Berrios trade. Martin's provided value so far, but you have to trade front-line pitching for potential front-line pitching, and this has proved to be a failure. Other teams will always offer you hitting for your pitching.
  6. You think infernal intervention on behalf of the Dodgers is?
  7. No. Rogers. Aaron Bummer pitches for the Braves this season.
  8. He pitched on Monday. It was a last minute substitution that had him called on at all. The outing today was subpar, but even in the best case 6 innings would be fantasy.
  9. There are 7 teams with payroll above that 246 in 2026 who like things as they are. There are 12 teams with payroll below 171 who like things as they are too. Lot of No votes to be overcome. Because if they liked that range they'd already be in it.
  10. The Twins batters were overmatched by a starting pitcher who has come into his own. This is Martin's 11th start this season and he has yet to have a complete clunker against anybody. He's under team control through 2030. I'm not looking forward to having to face him these next several years. And dang it, he was a 14th round draft pick in 2018.
  11. Concur. A new manager often brings improvement because, in part, it's just the nature of the job. I nevertheless pegged this as a 101-loss team, just for "fun," and it was the potential of underperformances like you mentioned, plus the merest shell of a formerly capable bullpen, plus the chance of key injuries which we've already seen several of, that led me to expect a roster with not a very high ceiling in the first place to exhibit futility. To instead have this team a game below .500 is an accomplishment. I still expect more downs than ups the remainder of the season, but I'm enjoying the results so far and am happy to give the new manager credit for them. Grade of A at this early juncture because I don't know what else could have been asked of him.
  12. I guess he can have that title, since the cat we had that looked almost identical passed away a few years back.
  13. I see we have a cat posting to the site today.
  14. Nice three innings by the bullpen. I forget, who started this game?
  15. Let's hope an emergency doesn't arise and we see Caratini or Jackson at third base with Lee sliding over.
  16. Way to root in the right way. No jinx there. Attababy!
  17. Plus the failed challenge earlier in the game. I will not let this go. Except for the creditable defense, we're in Wallner territory with this guy.
  18. Fine his Little League coach for not teaching him the basic rules.
