    Gotta love how Wallner takes the pitch right down the middle, then swings at two pitches nowhere near the strike zone. So many terrible PAs from these hitters so far this year.
  2. Danchat
    Gallo got quite a while…
  3. Danchat
    Since when could Skubal hit 100? Holy cow.
  4. Danchat
    Well darn, they pulled it off. It feels like they were lucky just to win one game against the Dodgers.
  5. Danchat
    What specifically is going down for you?
  6. Danchat
    Not gonna win many games when you have 3 total hits...
  7. Danchat
    Wallner gets struck out thanks to two strikes called down and in, according to Gameday they are out of the strike zone. I guess that is the new meta to pitching against Wallner... throw balls that will be called strikes for whatever reason.
  8. Danchat
    Not sure what happened to him, and no corresponding move as of yet.
  9. Danchat
    One hit in seven innings... come on hitters!!

    Bring on the robo umps... then we can lose on our own merits, not with assistance from the umps.

    Well, they got Carrasco to throw 31 pitches in the 1st, despite not having a single hit...
  12. Danchat
    Right, we have a tendency to do that, but then he got placed in an organization with a top 5 QB and a pass-first offense where he produced. And yet he still hasn't been happy the past couple years there despite being on a perennial playoff contender.

    If true, A) the Twins front office should be fired this instant for trading a player of Polanco's value mostly for a AAAA starter and B) the Seattle front office looks very dumb for "throwing in" a top 100 prospect when they could have used Gonzalez as a chip in another trade. I've never heard of a prospect of that caliber being a throwaway addition outside of a megadeal. Well no, because DeScalfani isn't going to pitch until mid-2025 if he's lucky... but the trade doesn't go through without Gonzalez because he wasn't a throw-in, he was the main prize of the trade. Falvey may have said he didn't trade Polanco for the prospects and felt that starting pitching was their greatest need, but actions speak louder than words. Baffling actions to be sure, especially given how they spent their little money on Farmer, Margot, and Santana and have put themselves in this situation.

    So you're saying the top 100 prospect was just a throw-in? The fact that DeSclafani was the only MLB level starter they added was a terrible call, I agree with you there. But Gonzalez is by far the biggest chunk of value of that trade followed by Topa. It's not as if he doesn't have value as a trade chip, even if he isn't helping the major league team. I just wish they would have made a second trade for a starter that involved giving up a top prospect of ours after bolstering the farm with the Gonzalez addition.
  15. Danchat
    Why is he in the #5 spot? He should be in the #2-3 spot in the lineup.
  16. Danchat
    One out short of a quality start for Lopez.
  17. Danchat
    I thought that yesterday when it was 3-0... then we won 7-3.

    Larnach has already gotten three full chances the past three years in the majors. I loved him as a prospect, but you have to know when it's time to give up. He's not going to be a starter / impact player in the majors. Miranda is more of an enigma, but with the advent of him not being able to play 3B and being a butcher at 1B (last we saw him), he needs to hit really well to compensate for his lack of fielding ability. There's still a path to him playing a big role in the majors, especially if Carlos Santana fully goes off the rails.
  19. Danchat
    Paddack is allowing a lot of baserunners so far...
  20. Danchat
    Yikes, pulling Julien in the 4th inning? Really?
  21. Danchat
    So far this year, Gallo and Sano are a combined 1/24 so far with 12 strikeouts. 😬
  22. Danchat
    Gotta love how much the pitch clock sped things up! Oh wait...
  23. Danchat
    I think that sums up my thoughts well. I was fine with them trading Polanco and saving money/getting a top prospect/getting Topa... but then they spent money on two questionable hitters in Santana and Margot, and didn't make a move for another starter. I thought they would move a couple prospects for a starter, but it seems we may have to wait until the deadline for that to happen.
  24. Danchat
    Yeah, I don't get having Willi Castro being an everyday starter in the lineup... might as well see what we have in Austin Martin. Too bad he's not ready to play the outfield because the front office was too preoccupied with him getting reps at SS that he would never be able to do in the majors.
  25. Danchat
    Stefon Diggs traded to Houston for a future 2nd rounder... the Bills wanted him gone so bad they took a big cap hit to do so. How long until Diggs wears out his welcome in Houston?
