  1. This feels like posturing. Either for the fanbase, to make a non-trade look okay. Or to the Mets, if they actually asked for Buxton. There's no reason for the Twins to leak this, ahead of the deadline without hoping for some kind of effect.
  2. But Stroman is only around for one more season, unless they resign him I guess. I don't get it, honestly.
  3. Can he elect free agency? At least the rest of the league agreed he's not worth a major league roster spot... Edit: Looks like he's debating whether to accept assignment or not.
  4. Although his over all line is problematic, he has a .864 OPS in July. Also 10 home runs in a little over half a season at in the Florida state league isn't nothing to sneeze at (8 of those coming since June began), especially from an up-the-middle player. I think being out of Ft. Myers will help Lewis quite a bit. Obviously the Twins like his approach lately, or this promotion would not have happened.
  5. He was drafted in 2018, so no need to be added to the 40 for another year.
  6. Hate giving up Diaz after his resurgence, but the Twins are facing a 40 man roster crunch and with Rooker and Lanarch, I suppose he was expendable. That said, Romo better not be the only addition to the pen, because that is a meh acquisition.
  7. I'm not sure how much an upgrade Ray would be over Pineda or Perez, his ERA (3.95) is currently out performing his FIP (4.27), though his Ks are sexy; I'd prefer Greinke.
  8. I had the same thought tonight on the unfairness of the Angels potentially being able to stach Mejia. I hadn't even thought of the Rule 5 method; good idea. Though my OOTP team would take a hit if your rule were put in practice.
  9. I'll miss them. The timing seems rather sudden. I certainly didn't find the vitriol outsized recently.
  10. Watched the first couple episodes of the The Boys from Amazon Prime. I really like it; very entertaining. The premise is pretty simple: corrupt super heroes.
  11. There's people in the middle that are wary of Trump, but don't have enough reason to vote against him. Those people. There's only like 40% or less that is part of Trump's cult (crazy that it is even that high), but that leaves 60%, many of which need to be persuaded, and could be on these grounds--the Trump colluded with Russia, though not quite enough for a conviction. There's a persuadable middle there, with what already 45% approve impeachment.
  12. It's not so much a waste of time as creating a better record (video, sound bytes, things that can be plugged into commercials and referred to by candidates with memorable reference) for the 2020 campaign. He unequivocally said he did not exonerate the President, that Trump could be indicted after leaving office, that the Russian threat is ongoing and dire, among many other things. We're in the spin zone, so it all seems a bit partisan and therefore meaningless but there was real news today. Schiff's questioning of Mueller was expert, in and of itself creates a startling record of the seriousness of what happened during 2016. All that said, in the current news cycle, as you say for those who pay attention, our biases will only be confirmed. I think this is better fodder for the Democratic candidates than Trump himself.
  13. You see what you want to see.
  14. Of course it's Hicks. Of course! I HATE FATE.
  15. Where to plot this game on the life of us all? I don't even know.
  16. Danchat had a pretty good rebuttal just above. We'll see. He could just be a guy, but at least he's a guy who's doing well lately, or catching fire/genie/a-pickle in a bottle.
  17. Littel has seen a bump in velocity, along with effectiveness, since the move to the bullpen, no?
  18. Normally I'd cringe at having Adrianza here. These days, things are just strange.
  19. Will limited mound visits be consequential?! That story at midnight!
  20. This game is an indictment on the Front Office. I've been reluctant to say it, but their inability to anticipate and address the bullpen has cost them a half a dozen games over the last several weeks.
  21. Our bullpen just isn't good, it's bad.
  22. Isn't this kind of optimism against the TOS. MODS!?
