    Great game for Jenkins, who wins or loses at this point isn't relevant, the young'uns just need to keep learning and developing. What is with the 1st inning woes for Bradley? He's dynamite afterwards. I'd really like to see Raya or another reliever with a future get some chances in the bullpen... next season's pen looks like it could be average, but the warts are showing. Gomez's regression was inevitable, Morris' has been disappointing... but is the likes of Nance (high WHIP) going to be back at age 36? Funderburk is an acceptable reliever but I believe he's out of options next year.

    Lewis is down to .670 OPS... the experiment is over. Time to move on.
  3. Danchat
    Nope, he won't have to!

    I'm not a fan of having your best hitter bunt and use up an out... and then Bell pops out.

    Funnily enough, of all the AAA overachievers who are on the old side, the only one who is doing damage in the majors is Mickey Gasper with a 143 OPS+ in 206 PAs with the Red Sox at age 30. Insert that image of the miner who gives up digging for diamonds right as he's about to hit them.

    Right when people start to give up on Zebby and wish to move him to the pen, he goes 6 scoreless on the Yanks. There's just too much upside to move him away from starting. And unlike most pitching prospects (who are borderline starter/reliever), he's been able to stay healthy and can go deep into games.

    Ross called back up with Culpepper hitting the 10 day IL.

    Just checking in... ugh. What is the point of Taylor Rogers? He's not going to be on the team next year and he's cooked. Why not give Raya or Jack Anderson an audition in the pen? Play your young players! Some of them might turn out to be good!

    Geez, bad outing for Minter. So glad we traded for a rental player on a team with no hope of going on a playoff run.

    The Jags put him on their PS and called him up to be QB2 yesterday. They are transitioning to Quinn Ewers to be QB2, so Mullens can be signed off their PS. I don't think the Vikings will nab him, Kyler shouldn't be out that long... and they still trust Brosmer for whatever reason. They were actually worried he'd get claimed on waivers.

    They averaged 3.9 yards per play, worst of any game Week 1. Yes, even less than the Browns. 😗
  12. Danchat
    Methinks it's time to give Raya a shot over Adams.

    Some crazy high scoring games today... Bears and Panthers is a barn burner. Ravens and Bengals offenses are fully functional. As I said elsewhere, the Jets aren't as bad as usual - they're blowing out the Titans, who look like garbage at home.

    https://x.com/mattschneidman/status/2099210470762639787 Unless there is some injury he picked up during warmups, Banks is a healthy scratch in year 2 of a 4 year $77M deal. Absolute disaster.

    Gabby and Mendez are only going to start with the team if there are multiple injuries. They'd be up and playing now if there was any chance they'd be on the Opening Day roster next season.

    Here is my depth chart preview vs the Packers. Reminder, this is PFF grades going back 3 years for every player, weighted more heavily towards the most recent season. Category is determined by the grade % vs the rest of their position group in the league.

    People like to come up with reasons for why slumps happen, when it's just simply a matter of baseball that hitters will slump at times. Some claimed that the rumors about him getting traded to the Astros affected his play... or it might just be that some regression kicked in.

    I don't know how good of a fielder Ross is, so perhaps I'm off, but my comments were made based on how the Twins used him - seems like they don't believe in him as a prospect. Fangraphs does have him as a top 30 prospect (#30) and a 55 fielder, so perhaps there is more upside there. Maybe they always planned to add him to the 40 man after the season was order to protect him from Rule 5, but I dunno... neither of these two are going to hit well enough to make an impact in the majors.
  19. Danchat
    I don't know if Kriedler is getting DFA'd, he makes a lot of sense to retain as an utility bench bat who can play almost anywhere on the field really well. Ross is the one who is probably getting DFA'd at the end of the year, they didn't treat him like a prospect that needed ABs. If they really like him, it didn't make sense to add him to the 40 man roster when they could have held onto him through next year instead of risking him through waivers. The kid has over 1000 PAs at AA and was not very good over most the duration of that, which is probably why they don't see him as a prospect. In his few ABs in the bigs he's looked overmatched as well. Probably not much different than Fedko.
  20. Danchat
    There's room for him, just simply DFA Rogers who has a 1.6 WHIP and is not going to be back next year. Or even option Adams. 6 starters has nothing to do with it.
  21. Danchat
    Roden could easily play over Bell, Raya should be pitching in the majors and Rogers is incredibly easy to DFA.
  22. Danchat
    The Packers are in rough shape coming into this game with no Jacobs and Parsons, and after comparing their current roster to last year's, they lost a ton of players over the offseason not to mention their high quality DC to a HC job. This is a great time to face the Packers given they the roster should get into better shape later into the season, but it's got a lot of rough edges. Can anyone name an above average starter on their defense? Odds are you can probably name one safety and maybe one LB. Their edge room down Parsons is the worst in the league. Oh, and their offensive line might be bottom 5 in the league with only one even average starter. I'm not the highest on this Vikings squad, but this is a game they should absolutely win and cover.
  23. Danchat
    Nope, we gotta keep losing games with the vets! Because you know, we'll be so uncompetitive playing the prospects... just ignore that stat about the Twins being the worst team in baseball since the trade deadline. I'm sure positive regression is right around the corner!
  24. Danchat
    Oof. That's a dagger.
  25. Danchat
    I'm getting tired of Lewis continuing to strike out on that kind of pitch.
