  1. Browns are going to be 2-1... who saw that coming? Their defense seems to be alright without Garrett.
  2. Looks like the Rangers are cooked, Astros up 4-0 and they trail.
  3. And Darnold throws a back-breaking pick 6... some crazy things happening at the end of the noon slate.
  4. Steelers made a game winning play at the same moment the Browns scored a go-ahead TD!
  5. Maye has 7 turnovers in the first 3 games last year, and 8 turnovers in the 4 postseason games last year... he sucks right now. Chargers have won the turnover battle against Buffalo 5-1, but are somehow down by 11. Horrendous football from them after losing two easy games early on.
  6. They did trade one of the 2 firsts to the Jets for DT Quinnen Williams... which means the Jets could have 3 fairly high 1st rounders in a really good 2027 class (they also have the Colts pick from the Sauce Gardner trade).
  7. For me, projecting forward who is more likely to continue regressing leads me to want to say goodbye to Ober. What if his stuff drops another level? Pre 2025 Ober is not coming back, whereas Kremer resembled his former self with us. So I think Kremer's back and Ober isn't... they should be able to trade Ober for something, not gonna be a lot, but teams will pay for starting pitching.
  8. An unfortunate outing for Ober in what could very possibly be his last game as a Twin. Kinda crazy how Roden is hitting .291, but he's likely not going to start next season on the major league roster.
  9. Y'know, this reminds me of some old football wisdom that was once shared with me. If in the final week or two of a season and a team desperately needs to win, they usually lose / don't cover because they're not very good to begin with, given they were in the position of being desperate in the first place. The Rangers aren't very good and play in a wretched division, so no wonder they laid an egg.
  10. Gee whiz, I figured the Packers were overrated given they have a bottom 5 OL and questionable defense without Parsons, but getting blown out by the Falcons at home? Wow. You hate to see it... 😂
  11. They don't think he's a prospect, evidently. He gets called up much sooner if they think there's any chance he helps the team in the future.
  12. But Mike, if we run back the same roster (again) and everybody stays healthy, we might go .500 this time! 🤪 You might want to provide some statistical backing to that argument unless "barely" = a chasm. The only stat Bell is close to Cruz in is RBIs. Is Bell hitting close to .300, .380 OBP, and 76 HRs per 1000 PAs?
  13. Santana signed for 1/$12M to generate .219 ba .633 OPS 78 OPS+... letting him go was 100% the right move.
  14. Looks like Dart will be out 4-5 weeks with an MCL injury... Jameis Winston looked pretty dang bad but usually he can get an offense rolling but the picks are a problem.
  15. They want him off the 40 man roster over the offseason, so may as well DFA him now. It doesn't make sense to have him be on the roster for so long without using him, but evidently given they have DFA'd three times this year, they are fine with another team claiming him.
  16. 6 games isn't enough to evaluate a guy, feels to me like they want to give Sabato a cup of coffee but he's not in the future plans with the team. If he was, you don't call him up the final week of the season in his age 27 season. Hitting well in these 6 games is too small a sample size to change anything about his outlook, unfortunately. It's a consequence of continuing to play the vets despite the team already falling into irrelevance.
  17. He's on year 3 of a 5 year long rookie deal, I believe they aren't even allowed to extend him until after the completion of his third sesaon. Jalen Redmond, who was absolutely incredible today, is going to get a monster contract and will deserve it. He was great last year and looks Pro Bowl caliber so far this year. He is a restricted free agent next season so he won't hit the open market, but would have to be tendered if they don't give him an extension.
  18. They traded him to the Bears for a future 5th rounder.
  19. Rooker had 230 PAs as a Twin before they moved him, Martin is almost at 800 and Lewis is nearly at 1500. There's no comparison to be had there. That would be like moving off Roden now, who just so happens to be at 232 PAs. (And yes, I understand you're not the one making that argument.)
  20. Here's my depth chart for the Bears:
  21. I wonder if we'll see Gallagher next season... not sure he sticks as a starter. Speaking of which, it wasn't a great season for Rojas with his health inferring at multiple points. He's clearly a MLB-level talent, but he can he pitch in bulk? Or do we pull the lever and unleash him as a reliever with top tier stuff? I've not been impressed with Acton, I imagine he gets DFA'd at the end of the year. Not sure why he got another shot in the majors over Raya.
  22. Tendering him in hindsight has turned out to be a fine decision, but they should have sold high at the deadline. I think they ultimately didn't because they required a major league player in return instead of just prospects. But as already mentioned, trading for Roden made even less sense when Larnach was going to be starting in LF. At the most very least, Roden should be playing in September with the team out of contention along with the other prospects, but he only got recalled now... should have asked for a prospect further down the developmental pipeline from the Jays instead of calling up a guy ready to play in the majors and stuffing him into a logjam. Roden's numbers aren't close to as bad as Outman's, not to mention Roden has a good 800 PAs less in his career than Outman.
  23. Keep giving the kid chances and he delivers, 6 hits in a row! Heck yeah.
  24. The logical conclusion to this thought process is we find the Ark of the Covenant and the Twins just need to bring it to every game and they'll win!
  25. Larnach to the 10 day IL with a wrist injury, Roden has been recalled.
