  1. The Astros lost 7 games in a row and I don't see Astro fans melting down... I'm not really worried about the Indians. If they catch us, that's because we're not a very good team, and I'm not interested in watching this team limp into the playoffs barely past the Indians... I want to see them dominate. Plus, are the Indians going to make any moves at the deadline?
  2. And that's why you don't see the suicide squeeze nowadays! Dear goodness, they're going to find a way to lose this, aren't they...
  3. Our starting pitchers really like to give up 3 runs in an inning, and then not give up any runs in the rest of the innings they pitched. Gibson and Pineda have this down to an art at this point.
  4. Hindsight is 20-20, but Gibby's trade stock was pretty high about year ago right now... and apparently we needed him for a 2019 playoff run. Boy, if only they traded Gibson and kept Pressly...
  5. These guys need the All-Star Break to come tomorrow. Or at least Gibby does.
  6. I'm going to pick Berrios, but like Chief I don't do Twitter so you won't get my vote there. He's been the ace we've desperately needed, providing 112 innings with a sub 3.00 ERA, and his ability to get more innings than the other guys has saved the bullpen from throwing more innings. While Polanco has the higher WAR and on a individual player basis he should be the MVP, without Berrios our pitching staff as a whole would suffered tremendously. It was hard not picking Polanco, I do love this guy. He deserves to be the MVP and All-Star rep.
  7. There we go, Luis! Let's tie this one up, Sano!
  8. There we are, Castro, let's get that bat heated up again!
  9. Well, we could see Odorizzi hit the DL and have Berrios go to the All-Star game in his stead...
  10. With 69 pitches at the end of the 3rd inning, our bullpen is going to need to relieve our All-Star starter very soon...
  11. It's not an Odorizzi start if it doesn't take more than 40 innings to get through the second inning!
  12. I have to be concerned with Lewis... he's had nearly a full season at A+ and his hitting numbers are bad. It seems he still needs to work on his swing, which isn't something your top prospect should be dealing with. Kiriloff, on the other hand, isn't killing it right now but I'm still very confident in him. Let's see if he can catch fire in the second half and start razing AA.
  13. I haven't seen any news on this move, but it makes sense as Torreyes seems like the next logical option to come off the 40 man roster for Mejia.
  14. I'm not sure what to do with him, as I don't see a spot in the 'pen for him, and they've already collected an assortment of guys who don't have any options. But I also think there's a very high chance he doesn't make it through waivers. If Austin Adams can't make it through waivers without getting claimed, Mejia isn't getting through.
  15. I think this move within the division is absolutely do-able and the Twins have the room to pay his salary in 2020. I like the way his numbers are trending, so I'd be very happy if they could make this move.
  16. Thorpe looked pretty impressive today, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him again. He ended up with the loss, but Duffey actually lost this one today. Plus we could use a little more clutch hitting from our batters...
  17. Well, he's looked a lot better than he was the past two seasons with the improved fastball. One bad outing does not make a bad reliever, but he doesn't have a track record to back up his recent accomplishments.
  18. Well, I see Duffey is back to his old self. Let's see if Palka and his beyond-embarrassing .026 batting average will come through here.
  19. Heh, that's pretty pathetic. I thought Berrios and Rogers would at least make it in... Berrios made it to the All-Star game last year and I'm pretty sure he's been better this year. Have fun with your popularity contest, MLB, I could care less about the All-Star game. As cjj td mentioned, perhaps the team can use this disrespect for motivation.
  20. I think our days of calling Giolito a failed prospect is over. This guy's good!
  21. Oh no... do I need to whip up another Infielders in the Outfield poster?
  22. Yeah, if we’re going to have Arraez in left I’d like to have Kepler in right. I’d like to see Sano get more reps now that he’s heating up.
  23. Gibson’s start is getting pushed back to Wednesday. Thorpe will probably start tomorrow.
  24. Nice inning, Pineda! More of this, please. Meanwhile, how about that Yankees-Red Sox game in London? The score is 17-10 in the 7th inning!
