    Great timing with that post!

    So far, so decent from Wallner. Gallo gets to be DFA'd ASAP, but of course the FO won't give on him despite his horrific play.
  3. Danchat
    What's up with Ryan? He hasn't been the same lately.
  4. Danchat
    Seems like Sands is being treated like the mop-up guy, and doesn't have the trust to be used in any other scenario. It's unfortunate, but it's common for teams to carry a guy like this. Moran-Pagan-Ortega have not been overused and should have been able to handle this.

    Say what you will about this team, they are out eeking wins where they can. Better than snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
  6. Danchat
    This team is insanely bad with the bases loaded!
  7. Danchat
    Gallo is allergic to RBIs!

    When that story first came out in late 2021, the Cook camp got out in front of the allegations and claimed he was the one assualted... well, somehow I doubt that he is the victim, seeing as how he's offering $1M to make the story go away.

    Can't win when you can't score any runs...

    FYI, Lopez has given up 5 runs in his 6 and one third innings since returning from his mental health break.
  11. Danchat
    I must say, I don't think I've ever seen a pitcher load the bases by hitting all 3 batters!

    Putting in Jax there was fine, but I agree with the rest saying that pulling Julien was a bad move. And it's not like Julien is slow, his sprint speed is not shabby. That spot is likely to come up again.

    Nice to see Maeda having a quality rebound start so far. Perhaps we can see the rest of the rotation rebound from their All-Star Week hangover, or whatever it was.
  14. Danchat
    Correct, I forgot about him, I thought the other two players traded were international teenagers. Davis has 95 PAs between 2019-2021 coming in at .203 / .573 OPS. I do remember some being upset that he wasn't promoted after demolishing AAA. Looks like he's at the Mets AAA affiliate with a middling triple slash line with a pretty high strikeout rate.

    Well, at least Kepler's power is back after he hit just 9 HRs last year. He's become far more tolerable than Gallo lately.
  16. Danchat
    The Mariners are calling up Berroa of the Sam Dyson trade for the first time, potentially to play against the team that he started with.
  17. Danchat
    Berroa is the first - and probably only - prospect from the Sam Dyson trade to reach the majors. He was traded to the Mariners last year for Donovan Walton.
  18. Danchat
    If the Twins are serious about being a true contender, I believe the bare minimum would be to acquire a 3B, RH OF, and a reliever.
  19. Danchat
    I believe that Julien was their top replacement for Arraez when they traded him - both were great hitters in the minors who didn't have a home defensively. Julien has a long ways to go to match Luis, but is at least already a MLB caliber hitter, as compared to what we have behind Pablo Lopez (the drop-off from Arraez to Julien compared to Lopez to Varland/AAAA filler is justifying the trade right now).
  20. Danchat
    What a season so far from Julien - he is making losing Arraez not hurt quite as much.
  21. Danchat
    Is our whole rotation having a post-All Star break hangover or something?!
  22. Danchat
    We have to get Buxton and Kepler out of the lineup, at least in the short term. They're costing us too much with their ineptitude. Even if Wallner strikes out a whole ton, at least it's someone else doing it. Julien needs to be the every day DH with how he's hitting, and get Buxton on an IL/mental health break.
  23. Danchat
    Short starters are a pretty typical thing in the playoffs, as managers usually pull their starters at the first sign of trouble in the 5th/6th innings. Gray is by far the best rental piece out there, not counting Ohtani.
  24. Danchat
    They should listen to all offers on Gray, but they should see if anyone tries to blow them out of the water. If not, hold on to him... but if they anticipate Gray will not be a Twin in 2024, then I think it'd be prudent to get something for him instead of only getting the extra draft pick from the QO. Of course, with the team in contention and the front office needing to prevent a third losing season in a row I don't anticipate they will seriously consider moving him.
  25. Danchat
    Well, they did it last year when Royce Lewis was tearing it up in a two week stint and still sent him down when Correa was ready to go, despite our lineup badly needing him. Hopefully they have learned from that mistake.
