  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The other team can not stop Ryan Kreidler, they can only hope to contain him.
  5. You expect the Twins will be in Save situations all three days? I admire your optimism.
  6. My homeowners insurance company provides some concrete help on avoiding losses due to electrical fire or wildfire.
  7. Two separate trips to the plate or did he just set some kind of new record?
  8. Where's this league-leading offense of ours I keep reading about?
  9. That might even be light. Realmuto got $115M for 5 years at age 30, and while he's better than Jeffers, there's a lot of headroom between those figures for Jeffers's agent to exploit if he's the best available catcher this off-season.
  10. Any professional pitcher can strike out two or three batters per inning. You just have to make sure to give them 10-20 opportunities per inning.
  11. Don't be sad. The days start getting longer again in about six months.
  12. What's the Over-Under on when we go an entire 24-hour period without Lawrence being mentioned anywhere in the comments at TD? I'm going to guess the line would be at Wednesday. 😁
  13. Remove the "if" from just before, and I think this sums it up. Yikes.
  14. Mock ownership, then if someone asks for specifics, complain that the response's tone is mocking. So who do you have in mind? You could probably pry 39-year old Kirby Yates from the Angels for cash considerations. His ERA is decent but his game log suggests they use him only in blowouts if they can help it, and he gets tagged with a blown save or a loss when they have to use him meaningfully. Is that what you had in mind when you specified "reliable"? I don't look to the Tigers or Royals for help as divisional rivals. I'm not confident big-market teams like the Red Sox and Mets are ready to throw in the towel at 5.5 games out. That leaves SF and Colorado. I'm not going to do your homework for you. Who do you have in mind? I'll suggest in advance that in return for cash you will get Justin Lawrence clones, Anyone markedly better will be traded to the highest bidder, not the first bidder, and not for the cash you specified.
  15. Defensively, yes.
  16. Abel and Festa are of similar build, aren't they? Do the Twins feel they have identified some sort of special sauce?
  17. Boras has always been an astute student of the sport. He would have made a great Commissioner (he's a little old to start that now), and in that role he would of course have looked out for the owners' interests but also that of the general public. But no way he would've taken the pay cut that that would involve.
