    Can somebody remind me what are the rules for the September call-ups now? I know last year changed but I don't remember what changes were for just last year, and what changes stayed. How many players can be called-up? Thanks

    For a moment I got scared that he was writing about me. Then I saw that the guy retweets. No, that is too much technology for me. Phew!

    It smells like Torii Hunter.

    "What if they switch uniforms mid-game because they were traded for one another!" For Astudillo? Ohtani and who else??

    I took a look at the Mets minors. I am no expert, but the whole system doesn't seem very good to me. I don;t know if they are a good partner from the Minnesota point of view,

    Got your catcher in round 8 And in 9

    I think we are starting from the end. When there is a failure, first you have to revise the extent of the failure, what is bad and what is still good. The causes why the failure happened. What processes have to change. And then, after all that (which might take months or even more than a year if it is done right) you have to decide if the people you have can do the necessary changes or not. I think that was what they went through in2016 and up to this year the results had been good (not exceptionally good, I am not forgetting about the playoffs). Starting from whom to fire it is tempting, it shows that you do something, but rarely accomplishes anything

    I don't know. We have really bad pitching this year, but we've had a lot of bad pitching over hte years. Remember when the "ace" was Scott Diamond?

    I agree with Greglw3. If the Twins go the route of blowing it up and rebuild, it is going to be at least 5 years of 2020 Tigers level seasons. If Buxton and Berrios want lo leave, then that will be unavoidable. But if they can be kept, the Twins should make the effort.

    The thing to me is not this year. If you think this year, the answer is obvious, trade for what you can get. But, what is the depth for the position in the minors? Is Lewis going to be ready when he comes back? People recover from ACLs but it takes a while to get the same flexibility and trust in your knee. And for all what I read, Gordon is not someone who you can put as a SS everyday. I know that he has a 1 year contract, but you can keep him one more year of the team we'll have to find another SS stopgap for next year.

    I think after the pandemic interruptions injuries are up in practically all sports. May it be related to disruption of pre-season rutines? I follow soccer quite a bit (forgive me) and it has been terrible. And football pretty much the same.

    Dobnak earning an extra buck.

    I wouldn't crucify Celestino after 2 games. Probably he is not ready. He was pushed to the majors out of bare necessity, You are playing the fifth guy in the depth chart, at some point it is going to hurt.

    I would agree that Shoemaker wasn't as bad as the end results... if it was not the case that it happens too often. Second or third time through the order he starts to get crushed. Maybe when Maeda gets back, Shoemaker can get piggybacked with Dobnak (kind of similar case). The one that could be a serious problem is Donaldson. He has a big contract and is not really playing well at all. And he has 2 1/2 years left on that contract.

    Well, after this strech playing the Oriols and KC, we get the Yankees and the Astros, so it is going to be a quick back to reality.

    In the case of Simmons missed catch, it was like Berrios throw was so good that Simmons didn't expected it.

    Today's umpire was plenty incompetent. He called strikes in more than 2 pitches that were clear balls ( in one case it was almost a foot outside). It was for both sides, so I can't say it was partial or corrupt. The electronic zone, once calibrated, it is going to be the same for everyone, so, once you know what it is called a strike, that's it.

    Also, if you are in the bleachers over left, center or right field (or the Plaza) when the bullpen is ptching, a helmet is not required but recommended

    I don't think it is inmaterial. He is being paid to be a core of the bullpen. Right now he is not, and is tying resources that could be used in other players. I agree that he had to be removed from the closer role. But it is not true that removing him from important roles solves all problems. If a guy making the minimum ptches badly, you just remove him and go to the next guy, no big deal. His case is different

    I was looking at the standings and realized that even when our offense has been bad (9th in the AL in run scored), we are 10th in the AL in runs allowed. The starting pitching has been OK for the most part (Maeda is the exception, I guess), so it is mostly on the bullpen. Colome could use a trip to the IL with something. Then look for arms inside and outside,
  21. adjacent
    Actually, he is not pitching particularly well. But the competition is Colome or similar. Bring it in

    So many Minnesota teams games, so many examples!

    Positive win. Happ was great and the team needed it. But what made me laugh was Astudillo trying to steal an out of that foul ball.

    The Timberwolves are just bad. But the goal here is maximum disappointment. That is what our guys are for. Example, having the game won with just an easy field goal, and throw an interception instead (remember New Orleans?). Winning 2-0 shocking the Seattle Sounders and then losing 2-3 in injury time (the Loons). Tease as with the Home Run record only to fail miserably once the play-off starts. That is what our guys go for.

    Yeah! I saw why they said that Rooker defense is not so good. Not quite Delmon level or Doumit level, but getting there
