    Jax is supposed to be the cornerstone of the "best bullpen in baseball", what gives? The sooner Paddack is done starting games, the better. Why not tap into that pitching pipeline I've heard so much about? Festa was arguably the better pitcher last year as a rookie.
  2. Danchat
    MLB Gameday and Yahoo sports claim that Duran is pitching... I am confused.
  3. Danchat
    I think we can officially say that we've gotten some positive value out of the Polanco trade... it took long enough!

    They seem fortunate to get out of that inning only down 1. Time to score some runs with the first two batters on base here. Methinks McCaughan is going to be needed for more innings today...

    I thought it was intentional to ensure there are less games when it's cold here. In 2024, 12 of our first 17 games were on the road. In 2023, it was 13 of 19.

    Cole Sands' walk up song being Darude - Sandstorm is very funny.

    I'm a fan of putting starters in the pen and seeing what happens. Even if Cory Lewis still has a chance to be a major league starter, why not keep him in the pen for a bit and see if he thrives? Some or even the majority of these guys are going to end up in the pen, why not fast-track it a bit? It's more than likely we will need bullpen help from the minors as the season goes on.

    I noticed when I checked up on his career numbers this is the first time he's not beginning the year as a starter, given how well that works for other pitchers it may be that they've found a capable multi-inning guy. But he also has no options so high chance he gets DFA'd for a fresh arm at some point.

    I wonder if they reached out to Drew Strotman? 😉
  10. Danchat
    Signing him and trading him away were both A+ moves!
  11. Danchat
    Correa and Buxton are going to hit, them slumping is going to be confined to smaller sample sizes... but it would be cool if Bader's hitting continues past this first week. Would be Santana-like in the way our expectations were surpassed.
  12. Danchat
    If Bader keeps hitting like he is, sure... perhaps both Bader and Kepler have rebound seasons.
  13. Danchat
    Nothing will change until the regime is replaced. Otherwise Falvey will just replace Rocco with a similar manager.

    Brewers did it in Game 2 when the Yankees scored 20 runs on them!
  15. Danchat
    Perez throwing a perfect game/no hitter against us would be the start of Total System Failure 2.0...
  16. Danchat
    Yup. He's a symptom of a larger issue and it wouldn't solve the massive issues this roster has... but even I as one who has continued to argue that managers don't have as big of effect on the game as most think they do, he needs to go after how 2024 ended. But so does the front office and the minor league development staff.
  17. Danchat
    Good thing we didn't have Paddack compete for a starting job because of his salary... even though Festa was the better starter as a rookie. Ugh.
  18. Danchat
    There is a big difference between a starting shortstop and somebody who can handle the position defensively while likely being a black hole in the lineup. They currently don't have that.
  19. Danchat
    If true, seems like malpractice... all it would have taken is to bump Ober down the order and have Dobnak or an emergency option from AAA pitch the game. Ugh.
  20. Danchat
    Castro reminding us he is not a good 2B, but Wallner bailed him out.
  21. Danchat
    That was a cookie… maybe we need to slow down on the whole “Cy Young” discussion. We be overrating our starters.
  22. Danchat
    The bats will eventually get hot, but their volatility paired with them being a below average unit defensively is a bad combo. Not a good sign to see a AAAA hitter DH'ing in the #6 spot on the second game of the season. Yikes.
  23. Danchat
    Haven't noticed many differences with this lineup with the new hitting coach... last year's lineup had hot and cold streaks, seems like it will be more of the same this year.
  24. Danchat
    Could also be the decline in velocity and reduced command that we saw this spring.
  25. Danchat
    Seems like most starters in the league aren't going very long to start out. The Cardinals just pulled Fedde at 73 pitches and pulled Gray very early yesterday. Don't think it's a Twins thing. Most starters aren't getting to the 6th.
