    Nice swing Kep!

    What game are you watching? The starter went 3 1/3 and the pen is now 5 2/3 of one run ball on 75 pitches. The one run had a missed strike three that will show up on the umpire scorecard tomorrow and you want to bitch about the bullpen? I don't know why some people even watch. One reliever wasn't great but minimized damage. Otherwise lights out.

    Odd to go to Chapman in the middle of the inning when replacing another lefty?
  5. Jocko87
    Well, maybe not so much. Old Pagan gives up 6 there.
  6. Jocko87
    Yup, was a great pitch but you have to stay composed.
  7. Jocko87
    That 2-2 pitch is going to show up on the umpire scorecard isn't it?
  8. Jocko87
    One bit too much managin'.
  9. Jocko87
    Polanco to the field? Lose the DH?
  10. Jocko87
    Rocco certainly got his managin' shoes on tonight.
  11. Jocko87
    That's why Stevenson is up.

    I was wondering about Funderburk too, with only 9 pitches.
  13. Jocko87
    Give it another hour and let me know how it goes.

    These guys man, these f'in guys. I like these f'in guys.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/09/orioles-claim-jorge-lopez-from-marlins.html Wow, Baltimore is going to fix him aren't they?
  16. Jocko87
    It might be the limiting factor on this whole thing going forward. Oops indeed.

    Something is going on here. The silence is deafening. I'm not exactly doubting Phil's reporting, but he specifically mentions a Twins spokesman in his tweet. Nobody else has said anything, Twitter is silent and spokesman implies someone said something official. Either someone has bad information or today's official update is catastrophic. 😞

    I have been wondering the same. Not knowing what the injury is, has it advanced to the point when a significant last ditch procedure is called for? Like a miss all of 2024 type thing?
  19. Jocko87
    Deep cut. Well done.

    The pattern is that shaky gloves move. Sticks with functional gloves are not being moved by this FO. Sticks with excellent gloves aren't going anywhere. That means Julien is long gone before Lee or Lewis are even thought about. They simply have to put their money on two way players to stick. Its the slightly higher class small market move. I would be listening to all offers on Julien, quietly. The bat is still looking very good but the weaknesses are not fully exposed. The glove is actually improving and the Twins can play that up. He might be an elite bat so my asking price is very high but I move guys that hurt on defense. I'm also not convinced they will do it this year or next. Lee and Martin are not contributors early next year considering the pattern with vets. We should probably start accepting that Kepler and Polo will be with us to start next year. In this scenario, Polo as a fill in all around the infield including short is not the worst thing. If his legs are good, he will be back to start next year. Playing 4-5 days a week will probably be good for him.
  21. Jocko87
    New nickname for next year! Sorry.
  22. Jocko87
    There is more than one way to beat an ace. In this case, make him work in the heat and a couple extra pitches an inning adds up. I'm sure he would have liked to keep going but consistent pressure works. Also, if this is the game where opposite field hitting was discovered, we will look back very fondly on today.

    I mean, this years team is literally built only for the postseason. We may argue about the quality of that plan, but they are built for October. Which raises an interesting variation on this question. Would you rather your team dominate the regular season or barely get in and be an absolute SOB in the postseason?

    In the fall of 1987 at the age of 9 I had my first sports memory. 4 years later it happened again. I grew up with a very distorted view of sports and expected outcomes. On behalf of Midwestern men of my age, sir, I say nothing. Because that's what Midwestern men say when they are aggrieved. But also, grrrr.

    Let’s not forget that if we give up the ride we give up the hope of a new season, new draft pick, new signing. If we know it won’t work, nobody comes here to talk about it. If we know it’s a lost season, we don’t watch. Now, if we don’t know when in the 10 years the WS win happens you would theoretically have the hope until it happens but then would have to watch a world champion explode dramatically. I, for one, do not relish the idea of a first to worst transition.
