  1. Hindenberger is back, and he's ready to let more inherited runners in!
  2. These wild pitches are starting to get real annoying, boys...
  3. Good work, Littell. Let's win this one now, I have no interest in another super long extra innings game... though we do have the arms to last for quite awhile.
  4. There’s two ways to calculate it - record against currently winning teams, and record against winning teams by their latest record / final record. I think most use the latter option as it’s far easier to calculate.
  5. I think Marwin and Gonzalez are the same person...
  6. With the start Perez had last time around, this is going really well comparatively. Could the bats wake up, please?
  7. Not sure what you're looking at, he was ranked 20th out of 33 punters for average net yards (just net yards means nothing because you need to know the # of punts). He also had 6 touchbacks. He's a decent downgrade from Wile, but I guess he's a veteran and he can hold kicks...
  8. Eh, the Twins probably don't win this one because they only scratched 2 runs across, but something's got to be done with Berrios. You can't trot this guy into a playoff series the way he's pitched the last 3 weeks.
  9. It's been pretty obvious for a while now that Berrios needs to get shut down... looks like an extra day's break isn't doing him any good.
  10. The Twins' bullpen has been remarkably healthy this season, so I can't say losing Dyson is bad luck. Hopefully he can come back at full health for the playoff run.
  11. Good win, boys. With a 6.5 game lead on the division, I think we have this wrapped up for good this time. Meanwhile, Oakland is just a half game back on Cleveland. Not a great spot for the Indians, getting swept by Tampa was huge.
  12. For all the crap Rogers is getting, he looked pretty good out there. Now give him a rest!
  13. I didn't realize we were doing an opener tonight...
  14. Cardinals practice squad... yup, so apparently no NFL team wanted to roster him. I'm surprised, but Vikings fans have overrated him... there are still fans losing their minds over this.
  15. You might want to re-think that, I haven't seen anything saying he's going to be that good. First off, he's going to need to build up some innings if he's going to stick as a starter in 2020.
  16. I think you'd have to give Pineda at least $30M on that deal if you want to give him a competitive offer. There's going to be plenty of demand for him.
  17. I love me some RISPy shift-beating singles. Great stuff, boys. It's great to have Tortuga back, and I'm hoping we get to see Graterol for the first time today. But first, how about 7 strong innings from Pineda?
  18. I feel bad about the negative things I’ve said about Gibby in the game threads, I would have laid off if I knew about this. Having ecoli to start the year and now UC could definitely throw a guy off. Here’s hoping Gibby can recover as well as possible.
  19. Losing this game is alright, as taking 5 of our last 6 against bad teams is a good job. Now just please win the next two. Congrats on getting the record, boys! Now, how many more are we going to hit? 300? 310? 320? 330 even?!
  20. Turns out Stashak should have started this game...
  21. Ian Miller is coming up for the same reasons people wanted Billy Hamilton - he's fast, can steal bases, and should be a capable CF. Neither of them can hit, but that doesn't seem to be necessary for the roles they will play. I don't quite understand the 40 man issue with getting Graterol up, but I'm confident he will be eligible for the playoffs. At the moment, it does not appear any non-40 man players will also be making the trip (Alcala/O'Rourke) but that remains to be seen.
  22. Perez was great for about 6 weeks, and now he's back to the guy he was in Texas. He's a 5.00-6.00 ERA starter who will be passable every once in a while, but will implode and isn't worth a spot in the rotation. I never liked the signing, and this is what I envisioned happening... though I didn't see the positive value he'd bring as an ace for about a month. I'm surprised they haven't tried him in the bullpen extensively, maybe see if he can get his MPH up a few ticks if he only pitches a single inning?
  23. A whole ton of reinforcements are coming on Sunday (I would guess at least 6 pitchers) and Dobnak and Stashak just threw multi-inning outings... I would have thrown Stashak out there today, but I don't hate the decision.
  24. The first inning lasted 41 minutes... can we get a pitch clock, please?
  25. I'm just done with Gibson. He can't even beat up on bad teams anymore. He needs to skip a start or a couple weeks...
