    Holy cow... 11 hits, 5 HRs, 3 walks... and 0 strikeouts. It doesn't get much worse than that! Unless you're Matt Shoemaker.
  2. Danchat
    We haven't faced many good lineups this year, and we're being reminded what happens when a bad pitching staff gets rocked by good hitters... yikes.
  3. Danchat
    Garlick got IL'd but Refsnyder didn't after leaving with an injury? What the heck?! ?
  4. Danchat
    Sure, they still could have taken Enlow, but they likely wouldn't have been able to pay him over his slot amount, which is reportedly why he fell to the 3rd round. Lewis strikes me as a guy who will take a few years to learn how to hit in the bigs, similar to how Buxton debuted / eventually got settled at the plate.

    May has rebounded after a bad start and is sitting at 3.86 ERA/3.29 FIP, but he does have a 10 hits/9. His 102 ERA+ would put him behind Robles, Rogers, and Alcala on our current team.
  6. Danchat
    Sands, Miranda, Moran, and Cano... I like these guys in AA.
  7. Danchat
    I know they won’t, but I’d consider bringing Wisler back. Yes, he’s a one trick pony, but I’d take him over Colome.
  8. Danchat
    Yeah, they’ve been showing the “creepy” pixelated TC on the Target Field screens, especially pre-game. IMO this doesn’t make a lot of sense for marketing a baseball team, too artsy/aesthetic for the average fan.
  9. Danchat
    I’m surprised they just straight up gave up on Hackimer. It’s not a big deal, but they’d really rather have Minaya over him? Ok, then...

    I can't remember the last time I watched a professional baseball team look so... clumsy. Sure, putting Tortuga out at 3B is asking for it, but Simmons has screwed up several routine plays this year, Polanco was supposed to be a plus defender at 2B, but still disappoints even though 2B is easier to play with modern day shifts. This team consistently finds ways to embarrass themselves.

    If I knew the Twins were only going to take hitters in the 1st round for the next 4-5 years, I would have hoped they went with one of the top pitching prospects... I don't think Royce is going to bust, but I think he will be less valuable than a couple of guys that went shortly after him. At least they were able to save money on the slot and take Enlow... who now is having TJ surgery. Great! ☹️
  12. Danchat
    Larnach is one of the few reasons to keep watching this team... the dude is not overwhelmed by lefties, and I didn't even think he'd be on the MLB team by this point.
  13. Danchat
    Ugh, not good. This move Enlow's arrival date to somewhere in 2023, most likely. Good to hear Canterino didn't have a serious elbow problem.
  14. Danchat
    I know this defense is really bad, but would it hurt to get a strikeout, Rogers?
  15. Danchat
    This is what happens when you get your hopes up... especially with a bad team like this one.
  16. Danchat
    Yeah, we're not missing Rosario's .635 OPS / 75 OPS+ / subpar OF defense, he's basically Astudillo at the plate (they both have 4 HRs!) but he gets plenty more RBI chances since he hits in the #4 spot. I am happy with Kirilloff and Larnach getting full reps in LF/RF. Hill is old and always hurt, so I really can't blame them for letting him go. Of course, then they went out and signed Shoemaker, who is also old and always hurt...

    I may be new to the stock market... but man, AMC was just killing it for me last week. I sold 75% of my shares, but still came out with 200%+ gains on it. And today CLOV, another one I've got money in, is absolutely skyrocketing. Going after these heavily-shorted stocks seems to be working out for me!

    I heard this back in 2018 as well, we wouldn’t have Duran here if we had held onto Escobar for another 2 months. I don’t see the point of having Cruz spend August and September on a bad/middling team. He deserves to go on a World Series run with a real contender.
  19. Danchat
    He was the final piece in the Escobar trade, he was seen as a lotto ticket, but you could bump him up to low-tier prospect. Still a fringe bench bat at best, probably.

    I agree that the top story has to be the complete failure to find and develop pitchers, especially in a historic pitcher-friendly season. Just imagine how many more runs this staff would be giving up if this was 2019! I still find it inexcusable that Shoemaker has a spot in the rotation. We have other options - Charlie Barnes, for example, could be added to the 40 man and could start a few games until Maeda is ready. Jax could start, too. Shoemaker always had little upside, and it's clear he's cooked. Why even bother when he couldn't get out of the 1st inning last time? Plus, this offense is infuriating to watch. They're quite good at getting runners on base, but are just so awfully non-clutch. I am still in favor of finding a new hitting coach.
  21. Danchat
    He hasn't hit a HR in 5 weeks, I wonder if the wrist is still bugging him?
  22. Danchat
    They're pulling Ober at 51 pitches? I guess he was on a strict pitch count... I was hoping he could go 6 or 7 today. Can't expect this bullpen to hold this lead down.
  23. Danchat
    That's why I never use fielding %, it doesn't tell you anything because so many errors are called hits these days. I'd imagine this is a big reason why so many advanced fielding stats have been created, to give you a better idea of what actually is an error.
  24. Danchat
    That's gonna add another 10-20 minutes to every game with the way challenges currently go... these challenges would have to be near-instant.
  25. Danchat
    Y'know, if we had more triple plays happen, games would go by faster and starters would have less pitches to throw... there's your solution to the pace of play problem! ?
