    I don't think any team in baseball would pay anything more than cash considerations for AAAA players who are hitting well at AAA. Guys like that are a dime a dozen and are in the minors for good reasons.

    Attaboy Miranda! Turns out we needed to exercise a little patience with him - sprinkle in a one day long demotion - and viola, we have a MLB hitter on our hands! He's hitting .320, 6 HRs, .364 OBP since June 1st. Still not sure where his defensive home is, but he looks he's found a home in the lineup.

    Are there any 'good' managers left? What managers successfully employ a 'win at all costs' process that aren't completely reliant on their teams' superior talent?

    Buxton is starting to take some Sano-like ABs...

    Kepler left the game with an injury, I believe he fouled a ball off his foot. Pinch hitting Garlick over Gordon against a wild lefty made sense to me, might as well try to get the game close.

    The Brewers also have only 2 guys over 40 RBIs...
  7. Danchat
    Suddenly, we have a chance here…
  8. Danchat
    Ugh. Our entire rotation is imploding...
  9. Danchat
    He’s pitching in AAA for us, he recently gave up 4 runs in an inning IIRC.
  10. Danchat
    Hold on, 3-0 leads haven't been safe this series... oh boy, are the Rangers going to score 6 in an inning soon?
  11. Danchat
    We could really use some average relievers, and if it costs prospects like Diaz, Berroa, and Teng then I’m all for it.

    The Twins could also be the ones to go on a random 7-8 winning streak - their August and September schedules aren't that hard and I think July is going to be the low point for this team, and they'll lock up the division in September beating up on the AL Central. That being said, they're probably getting crushed in the playoffs... I don't see any way around that barring some major moves and some major improvements from our pitchers.

    Reminder that this team was 36-50 on July 8th 2021. Is Correa worth 20+ wins?
  14. Danchat
    Ironically, former Twin Ian Gibaut gave up the lead for the Reds... Kyle Wright was my favorite, he's finally having a good year as a starter for the Braves, but he debuted in 2018 so they've been waiting a long time for him to shape up into something.

    Can't really blame Duran, that should have only been a single. And turns out the bunt may have been a waste since their runner was scoring no matter what on that triple.
  16. Danchat
    Methinks Duran has to go the 8th and the 9th.

    If only we got this version of Megill a few days ago...
  18. Danchat
    Perez is still in the game?!
  19. Danchat
    Well, I guess now we're losing games by keeping our starters in too long when cooked... great. Well, I think we've experienced the whole range of the different ways of losing games this year!
  20. Danchat
    Hold on... we were up 3-0 yesterday and gave up 6 to make it 6-3... and now Texas was up 3-0 and we just scored 6 runs! Weird coincidence!

    It's easy to get disheartened by this squad - the starting pitching is usually effective but can't go 6+ innings, the bullpen is a complete disaster, and the hitting is usually good but very erratic. I think they'll play better as we get further into the summer, but it's hard to have any confidence that this team will break the 18 game playoff losing streak, or even if they do, win a single series in the playoffs. I just don't know about this front office and coaching staff - where is the pitching pipeline that was supposed to match Cleveland's? We've got a few young and talented arms at the major league level, but it's been total feast or famine for the prospects. We've tried to scrounge around for waiver wire arms and fix up AAAA guys for the bullpen and it's not working. Falvey and Levine know how to build a lineup, that's for sure, but they won't spend on pitching and their development of it has not been anything to write home about. Yeah, I know this is an overreaction, but I'm thinking back to that article we had about a potential Falvey/Levine extension and I thinking we've got to see this team actually accomplish something this year or I'd honestly rather start fresh then sign up for several more years of this.

    I feared that the bullpen would be bad this year, but not this bad! How much rope does Thielbar get if he's getting crushed by lefties?
  23. Danchat
    Why is it impossible for Twins pitchers to go 6-7 innings? Gray was cruising before this...
  24. Danchat
    Wow, Gordon is really hitting well the past several weeks. The front office has been rewarded for being so patient with him - I didn't thought he had this in him.
  25. Danchat
    I was just checking up on them on baseball reference - Seager (10 year deal) is not hitting close to as good as he was in LA and Semien (7 year deal) has been awful, though both have been good defensively. Gray has been OK, looks like his WHIP is very good for a starter. Plus Garver hasn't been what he used to - it's got to be frustrating to be a Rangers fan.
