    From the post-game: "yeah, thought about [bringing in Rogers] a little bit but just decided we're going to go with Fundy there and, obviously, it didn't work out." Story of the '26 bullpen. No good options.

    But he is not an Out man.
  3. ashbury
    He's a Good man. Not an Out man, by way of contrast.

    I think it's fair to look at least skeptically at those last-inning runs. The Rox had a six-run lead when they brought in Zach Agnos and his 7.21 ERA. The Twins raised an additional lump on him and he exited at 7.71. Had the Rockies not extended their lead against Funderburk and then Raya, it's reasonable to suppose someone else would have pitched the ninth for them (I don't know the Rockies and a glance at their '26 stats don't reveal who they believe in). I don't know how to define a metric, and I'm sure every team scores nearly meaningless runs facing subpar competition over the course of a season, but I maintain that a lot of the supposed strength of this club's offense is as substantial as a field of dandelions gone to seed. It's fine with me to say that the Twins scored two legitimate runs today.

    Jeffers is in the I'm Heading To Free Agency camp.

    I would not like to see Trevor Larnach wither. ("Wither? I've never even met 'er.")

    C'mon Martin, 3 to tie, 4 to .... dang it.

    Goodman has more HR this season than Ohtani. As expected.
  9. ashbury
    If by that you mean improve his range at shortstop, I'm all in.

    "That's my teenage daughter, you jerk." Man, if I had a nickel for every time ....
  12. ashbury
    Yes, because if a player is considered a defensive liability, it means he makes zero plays the entire season.

    Lifetime ERA of 9 for Raya. Moral victory.
  14. ashbury
    They're sending Raya out for another inning? This could put the game out of reach.
  15. ashbury
    Are we sure we WANT Raya in the ballpark at all?
  16. ashbury
    So, his BABIP is .000? Stellar! Oops no, Tovar singled. Dang it.

    Droppin' .... droppin' like a rock!

    Let's fire up the Wayback Machine.... Third batter...

    Walk. In play, run(s). Never mind.
  22. ashbury
    Wait ... Raya! Guess I'll pay attention a little longer.

    Interesting but not relevant. I'll ask again, what pitcher on the current 40-man is a waiver wire pickup? Not that I think it's super important. If anything, it's a bit more damning, to pay cash to jump out in front before a player of the caliber they wind up with is exposed to waivers, or trade a prospect of any value for one of them. Still, for all the roster churn and the gnashing of teeth here on TD, the current state of the roster is that none of the waiver wire pickups is responsible for the continuing weakness of the bullpen (or back end of the rotation). I just thought it was an interesting datapoint / factoid. Don't blame the waiver wire pickups. Blame the fact that more significant pickups haven't been made.

    Wait. He said ANY Twins exec, EVER. I withdraw the above nominees. One word: Waseca.
  25. ashbury
    Hush now. You hear? Don't go giving the Twins bullpen ideas.
