    Your most stinging satire yet!

    For one inning, anyway, Jacob Lopez stakes his claim as a Cy Young candidate.

    I don't like the smell of that one. / I slay me

    He's of note as being the guy in the Jaime Garcia trade who wound up having the longer tenure with the franchise of the two. 🙃

    That aged extremely well, courtesy of Goldschmidt leading off the fourth. Luzardo asked me to pass this message to you:

    The Twins are tied for 5th most runs in the AL in July. There are cracks in this unstoppable offensive juggernaut and it's not crazy talk to try to shore it up. Run prevention still is an issue. They are 9th fewest in the AL in runs given up so far in July. There is room for improvement in both areas.

    I keep thinking of the phrase "opportunity cost" and this is a fine example. Yes, you can rebuild a bullpen. But this one has taken 4 months during which wins-and-losses continue to count. That's the hidden cost of being a bottom-feeder team, sifting through other teams' discards. Now here we are, just below .500 and needing to be several games above .500 by season's end if we hope for a post-season. Tick tock, my friends.

    This team, with the hole they've dug for themselves by now, would have to be playing at the level of a division winner, going into the post-season, simply to make it to the post-season. That in turn would elevate their chances against their first-round opponent. Not that I see it happening. But going to the playoffs as a wild card isn't worthless, if the team elevates itself to make it.

    In the current standings for the wildcard race, the last spot is held by the Red Sox with a 52-49 record. It's starting to look like finishing at .500 won't let anybody sneak into the post-season. How many wins will be the minimum? How about 85? it was 87 last year. Right now the Twins are 51-53. To get to 85 wins, they need to win 34 of the next 58. That would be a .586 winning percentage, which is higher than the Rays (best in the AL) have achieved so far this year. Is there anything about this squad that suggests adding a few pieces will make them capable of playing like the best team in the league for two months? I'd like to see the Twins conduct an active, wheeling-and-dealing trade deadline. But the aim should be to acquire controllable talent that can give us a boost in 2027-29, and maybe have a little fun in 2026 while we're at it. Not expiring contracts for a pennant push in 2026 specifically.

    This is "Former Twins. Where are They Now?". Not "Former Twins. Who are They Now?"

    But, enough about Ryan Kreidler.

    If they're interested in Jeffers then they are going for it, and then why would they trade away the starting pitcher giving them the second most b-r value this season, who I believe isn't even eligible for arbitration yet?

    Somewhere between control artist and crafty?

    No balls and one strike, is how I heard it. Yes, I do feel very gross for repeating that one.
  17. ashbury
    Better than what happened to the Athletics batter the other day.
  18. ashbury
    As Expected.

    Brace yourselves. The hawt taeks are coming.

    Incompetent manager, one supposes.

    An inning where we didn't allow the opposing team to score a run! I believe that is referred to as a "shutout" in baseball lingo.

    The rules say the pitching rubber has to be 60' 6" from home plate, and it's a balk and/or automatic ball if you start your delivery from anywhere forward of it.
