  1. It's pretty telling that our team leader has 66 RBIs... and only two players have more than 60. Lewis is on pace for 110+ if he had as many PAs as Correa, though.
  2. We needed first half Ober and Maeda pitching, and got the second half versions. This game might have gone different if they were hot.
  3. I look forward to when pitch calls can be challenged. It works well in the minors, it's time for it to be implemented in the majors.
  4. Twins are pitching their pants off with runners on base... offense needs to score more insurance runs. Can't expect them to stay perfect.
  5. Honestly, pitch count isn't a big concern - he's not going more than 5 innings anyways.
  6. Wow, I didn't think the Rays would get stomped like this. Rangers vs Orioles it is!
  7. Just gotta get a good outing from Duran and the streak is broken... I still don't know if I believe!
  8. I guess since he made that brutal error in the 2020 playoff game vs the Astros?
  9. Oh boy, putting Polanco at 3B is already beginning to cost them...
  10. Ober probably would have made it over him if Kuechel were healthy.
  11. They got 11 sacks total, 4 players had 2+ sacks each. Ridicluous!
  12. 100% defensive win, they gave up 6 points and scored 7 themselves. The gameplan worked because Bryce Young couldn't handle pressure and held on to the ball too long, but it's not going to work against any of the good offenses. Awful game from the offense, only 14 points against a middling defense. So much for the predictions about them being a top 10/5 unit, they are barely scoring 22 points a game. And even with the run game functioning well a second straight week, they just can't score points. Pickett might have wrecked his knee today, so depending on that Kirk could be in play there. I expect the Wilfs interfere, however.
  13. Celestino was highly likely to be removed once the season was over, so It’s not a big deal DFA’ing him now. Ironically it’s to get Alcala, the other half of the Pressly trade, onto the roster.
  14. Nope, there's no way they are giving up on Pickett this early into Year 2. They're the last franchise to make a huge shift at QB on a whim. Yup, that has been infuriating. O'Connell was livid with Kirk after that one 3rd and 3 where he threw it deep and missed, and it looked like Osborn was open for a 4-5 yard gain.
  15. I legitimately thought the Vikings were winning this one up until the play at 0:35 when Kirk didn't realize he had to spike the ball. I expected a chaotic back-and-forth game that would end with the Vikings winning by one score, and they certainly should have. The defense is bad but Flores doesn't have the players needed to run his scheme effectively. The offense has no excuses, they were playing a bottom 5 defense that suffered multiple more injuries and they had two golden opportunities and squandered them. I am no longer considering O'Connell an above average coach, getting beat by a poorly coached Staley team was an embarrassment. It's starting to look like 2022 had a lot more luck than involved rather than I thought it did.
  16. Floro and Gallo should go first. After that, I'd guess Celestino is on the chopping block as I doubt he will be on the 40 man this winter. Though they may only need 2 spots as I don't know if Alcala is going to return to the major league team.
  17. I was at the Saints game tonight, and was pleased by the offense's display of power. I hope to see Martin and Severino in the lineup at some point next year. Brock Stewart was throwing gas, but was having trouble throwing strikes, which isn't a shock. Alcala also looked electric but I doubt he makes it back to the roster this year. There was also a situation mid-game where between innings there was an injury to one of the guys in the sumo-wrestler outfits and he was unconscious for a few minutes, but ultimately left the stadium on a cart. I hope he's alright.
  18. Correa should be ready for the playoffs, but will get some time to rest before that.
  19. Despite this, they've only lost one score games and the same thing happened last year with a much worse DC and we still consistently won games. Trust me, they're going to rip off a bunch of ugly one score games and it's gonna frustrate us (or mainly you lol). Then again, if Kirk does get hurt then we are winning 4 or 5 games this year. I didn't quite think about that scenario through.
  20. Incredible how they only lost by one score. 4 turnovers with zero run game, zero run defense and they still only lost by 6. The offense is broken since there is no run game, Kirk isn't going to make it through the full year taking this many hits. The defense doesn't have the personnel, I think Flores is doing a decent job but they simply don't have the front seven to get it done... comes from years of neglecting DTs/DEs/OLBs/ILBs. I still feel confident about my 8-9 projection, they're still going to win a bunch of one score games like last year. This isn't a bad enough team to win only 5 or 6 games.
  21. Should have watched this rather than the Vikings game. Uffda.
  22. Jax on pace for loss #10 on the year... I can't remember the last time a Twins reliever lost 10+ games.
  23. Incredible how consistently Lewis rises to the call when he is needed. Can’t say enough good things about him.
