    Looks like the Dodgers pitcher is Hurt.

    Mmmm, crystal eyeballs.

    Nice jinx.

    Arby's correct about the joke But since Pittsburgh didn't cut unJustifiable Lawrence - it was a trade for cash considerations - I believe our Twins would still be the ones on the hook for the princely sum of $1.225M prorated, if they were to actually release him - news of which I haven't seen, merely the DFA with the likely purpose to outright him to St Paul. Assuming the next step is waivers, any team so foolhardy as to put in a claim would then inherit the salary obligation.

    The Twins might be willing to cover part of the salary if he does.

    Wait, the Nationals will be at Target Field too?

    The Angels went this route in 2021, and did less-extreme versions of it in 2019/2024/2025. So far, the strategy doesn't seem to be paying off handsomely, at least by glancing at the b-r.com draft pages (or simply looking at 2026 AL standings).

    SWR has pitched twice so far in the month of June. The Jays may be working on something with him. Those two long-relief outings certainly cause some consternation, but it seems too soon to even guess where it's really headed.

    That was the moment, the second such failed challenge earlier this year, I lost faith in him - and I've been a long-time supporter of his potential. What better way to tell the pitcher - and his catcher! - "hey, put that in your spreadsheet for next time, you really fooled me on that pitch." (Not to mention that he'd make these challenges with bases empty and two outs and fewer than two strikes, if I'm remembering even closely.)

    I remember seeing Revere two-bounce a throw to his cutoff man at least once. Yeah, baserunners might be tempted to take liberties with an arm like that. Runners will take lower-probability chances depending on the number of outs or other factors in the game. With enough opportunities, Ben would occasionally throw a guy out. But the number of those outs is a poor guide to arm strength, and in many cases can mean the opposite of what might first be supposed. A ratio of outs made to throws attempted might be a slightly better guide, but the number of attempts isn't readily available to my knowledge. And even that ratio would fail to reflect runners simply not attempting to take an extra base versus the young Buxton's arm.

    Take a look at who actually wins the Cy. Last year it was a guy with an ERA of 2.21. The previous year it was the same guy with 2.39. The year before that, another guy with 2.63. The year before, a guy with 1.75. And they all do it typically across a greater number of innings pitched than Joe is currently on a pace for. The other league awards their Cy's to guys with similar credentials. Blame the Twins defense or the weather or the phases of the moon. But Joe's very good ERA of 2.99 doesn't put him in the running most years, and this year there is likewise someone else running a full run lower per game, which is huge. It's the halfway mark, and maybe Joe has another gear he can shift into. But right now he's in line to get at most courtesy votes far down-ballot.

    Details, details. We expect top prospects to rise up above a bit of adversity.

    The report that broke the news about the MRI states that he woke up with elbow soreness and the team chose to shut him back down on account of that. It also states that the injury which led him to be put on the IL was elbow-related.

    They've already had a couple of four-game losing streaks earlier this season. Today they lost their second game in a row. (Recent) history could repeat.

    Ben Revere was mentioned above. In a similar 6533 innings, Revere had 31 lifetime assists across his 8 seasons in the majors. Ben. Revere. You might want to rethink the meaning and importance of that particular defensive stat, if Ben Revere threw out more baserunners than Byron Buxton.

    That's just what an AI would say, amirite.

    The other team can not stop Ryan Kreidler, they can only hope to contain him.

    You expect the Twins will be in Save situations all three days? I admire your optimism.

    Two separate trips to the plate or did he just set some kind of new record?
