    BTW, the deadline is on August 2nd this year.
  2. Danchat
    He has 5, plus last Wednesday's game where he got credit for a hold despite blowing a 10-7 lead (Jax let in his runners, so he takes the blame in the box score).
  3. Danchat
    Dang, that's 7 earned runs Pagan has given up in his 3 outings versus the Guardians this week... yuck. Time to IL him or give him the Duffey treatment, I guess.
  4. Danchat
    I'd be willing to tack on a year, maybe two... perhaps they give him a small raise on his $12M 2023 option in exchange for smaller numbers in 2024/2025? Just don't want to get stuck paying an old starter too much down the road, a la Phil Hughes.

    I don't mind a hitter pitching every once in a while, but as Vanimal has pointed out in his article, it's happening too frequently and most times it's just uncompetitive. Though it's not a big enough problem to have any rules made about it, I'd guess.
  6. Danchat
    I don't mind challenging a play even when up 9 runs (try to get Jeffers a hit for his stats), but can't they speed up the review? I though it was clear he was out.
  7. Danchat
    Gibaut is still in the majors? Yikes, Cleveland, you don't have anybody else better at AAA?
  8. Danchat
    It appears Larnach's injury was fairly serious, and he shouldn't be expected back until August. Even then, there's no guarantee it's going to be exactly 6 weeks.
  9. Danchat
    Looks like the base of his salary is a modest raise, but he can make a lot more from incentives and other factors.

    Thornburg is at 25 pitches and nobody’s warming in the pen… interesting call.
  11. Danchat
    Holy cow, Iglesias just got eaten alive,
  12. Danchat
    He’s on the IL, so…
  13. Danchat
    Atta boy, Arraez. More RISP hits please!
  14. Danchat
    3 Ks with a runner on 3rd… shameful.
  15. Danchat
    Got out to my first game this year:
  16. Danchat
    Good to see Buxton in the lineup, his knee must have calmed down. Weird how Larnach has been on the IL twice now and Buxton has avoided it so far.
  17. Danchat
    Plus they gave $140M to Javy Baez who's basically turned into 2021 Andrelton Simmons... yikes. Only 2 qualified hitters are hitting over .700 OPS for them and they're both at .710. Woof!
  18. Danchat
    It's not an "off day", his knee injury has flared up (he had ice on it yesterday so I assume it was swelling up) and it's not a "planned day off" thing, he's actually unable to play. Hence why Rocco told us that the plan was for him to play both games, but he couldn't.
  19. Danchat
    Can't say I'm a fan of this. Bundy keeps his spot in the rotation, and hopefully Winder will be back soon.
  20. Danchat
    Defaulting to the same guy only in the 9th inning is overrated, having a good bullpen is not. But it's true that many here thought that Rogers was overrated, if that's what you meant. I just don't know if there are many, if any managers out there who could navigate this awful bullpen to perfection like for those who think it's possible. Sure, I would have pulled Pagan quicker, but when your options are Jax (after losing the previous day's game), and Duffey and Thornburg (two guys who should be pitching in AAA right now), I can understand Rocco's call. I'd just like to see more criticism directed at the front office rather than Rocco... it's not his fault Pagan and Smith were our biggest bullpen additions.
  21. Danchat
    Yup, just as I thought, Buxton seems to have had a [minor] setback and it was not the plan to have him on the bench today. Maybe it's time to IL him and see if his knee heals up... of course, he'll inexplicably hit 3 HRs the next few days because I suggested that.

    These two games have felt like how the Twins play against the Yankees... enough offense, horrid pitching. Horrific play in the clutch.
  24. Danchat
    There were 13 to 1 odds after the Twins took a 10-7 lead that the Guardians would win the game...
  25. Danchat
    Wow. This bullpen is destitute, it's nothing but Duran at this point. Time for drastic measures - trades, get Sands and Canterino working as relievers, etc.
