    Weird how they finally used May, but just for a single pitch... I feel like this is the perfect time to use him, with a 5 run lead...
  2. Danchat
    I think we gained about 4-5 WAR just by upgrading our DH spot from Robbie Grossman to Nelson Cruz.
  3. Danchat
    I think May gets the 7th... and then you cross your fingers and hope you have a big lead by the 8th.

    Perez's start against NYY 7/22: 4 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hs, 4 Ks, 3 HRs Perez's start against KCR 8/2: 5 IP, 5 ER, 7 Hs, 3 Ks, 3 HRs I'm willing to give Perez with a bad start against the Yanks, but yikes, this isn't looking good. Of course, this is nothing strange for Perez's track record...
  5. Danchat
    RP, as in relievers? You may have missed a couple trades they made. But you're not wrong about the starting staff...
  6. Danchat
    It might be time to try Perez in the bullpen to see if he'll be a realistic option there in the playoffs. I'd be fine with giving Smeltzer some more starts in the big leagues.

    Looks like the Indians are going to bag a win today... let's beat up the Royals and keep the lead at 3!
  8. Danchat
    I do think we need to get Littell back up here, he was doing well in close games and it seemed Baldelli was starting to trust him.
  9. Danchat
    I wonder what the plan for him is. He seems ready to try and take on MLB pitching, but we have no room for him.
  10. Danchat
    Move him to the bullpen in the minors and see if he finds a rhythm, if not, DFA him. Trying to fix a 22 year old prospect isn’t a bad idea, but he has his work cut out for him if he wants to stay on the 40 man over the winter.
  11. Danchat
    I would guess the thought process is that they don't want him throwing innings than he absolutely needs to. The less wear and tear on his arm before the postseason, the better. It also gave the Twins another look at Poppen... and now we know he needs to be shipped to AAA. I would have liked to seen him throwing a full game shutout too, but I understand it if Baldelli's doing this to keep Berrios maintained for October.

    On MLBTradeRumors, the Twins are listed second on the Deadline Headlines: American League article... as in, compared to the rest of the AL, only the Astros made more impactful trades in their opinion. IMO that doesn't justify the lack of more moves, but it puts it in some context. Also, check out how the New York media is handling things....
  13. Danchat
    You're not wrong... I hear NFL fans saying "oh no, the CBA's up in a year or so, there's gonna be a lockout!" But really, the MLB is in far more trouble in my humble opinion. There's just something inherently wrong with teams owning players' rights for 6-7 years and then the player finally gets to hit free agency... from ages 29 to 32 sometimes.
  14. Danchat
    Hey, if Houston loses, we get closer to the #1 seed in the AL...
  15. Danchat
    The MLB has gotten weird lately, free agency is now a dead period where teams refuse to sign veteran players, August trades are banned and the trade deadline suddenly becomes constipated, young players are signing deals to prolong team control (in some situations, giving up tons of future $$$ for less amounts now), and bad teams like the Mets and Reds are coming away with two of the deadline's best three starters. Seems like teams are holding on to their money and prospects more tightly than in past years. But in my book, it seems Falvine doesn't like taking risks, and that's pretty disappointing.
  16. Danchat
    Good, I'm glad we can stop talking about Allen getting called up. He wasn't getting it done at AAA and is a shell of his former self.
  17. Danchat
    I think we're a year early for Duran in the majors, and it depends how Graterol's shoulder recovery goes. They need to be extra careful with him. The Mets aren't making any sense, I guess they're going for a 2019 playoff run? Good luck!
  18. Danchat
    Looks like the Nationals are also getting Elias from Seattle. Hooray for middling relievers!
  19. Danchat
    Falvey and Levine come from backgrounds that had several major trade additions at/before the deadline; this history you speak of is from Terry Ryan and Bill Smith, and I think it's crazy to suggest they're cut from the same cloth. They might be sticklers to their prospects, but I expect at least one move tomorrow if not multiple (and there is also likely to be a flurry of moves tomorrow, though the trade deadline has been bizarre this year). BTW they still have 3 open 40 man roster spots, and I doubt they DFA'd all these relievers just to decide to do nothing at the trade deadline.

    I'm not sure about a top 50 prospect for one year of Bauer... methinks it would be better if Cincinnati built for the future since their squad is pretty lousy. Perhaps they'll make some moves over the offseason that will show that they are ready to compete in 2020.
  21. Danchat
    Is Franmil Reyes any good, because I'm wondering why are the Padres shipping him and a 22 year old pitching prospect to Cleveland so that they can get a single prospect from Cincy? Is this Trammel guy pretty good? I don't think this is a bad move for Cleveland, not sure if 2 months of Puig will do them much good, but if Reyes develops they'll win the trade. And I guess the Reds are 'going for it' in 2020? Huh... weird.
  22. Danchat
    We are also just 2 games behind the Yankees, as they've lost 4 of their last 5 games. Also just 3 games behind the Astros.
  23. Danchat
    Puig and Reyes to the Indians, huh... so they're not exactly hoisting the white flag.
  24. Danchat
    You're forgetting his save in the win against the Yanks, he's blown 2 of 3. I'm much more confident with him freshly rested and facing non-playoff contenders like the A's and Yanks.
