    Bailey Ober has been activated, and to make room, Jharel Cotton has been DFA'd (for the fourth time this year!).

    Like kissing your cousin?

    Conversely, Verlander was pulled at somewhere in the 80 pitch range when he had 7 no-hit innings on us. I'd let Ryan go past 110.

    I was hoping they would prove that the 2021 was a fluke - I didn't expect any success in the playoffs, but if I were to know how bad this division was ahead of time, I would have expected us to win it. The initial promise was 'sustained competitivity', and I don't feel like that has been attained. We've gone off the rails since a successful 2019-20 stretch, and even during then this team wasn't competitive at all in the playoffs. It feels like we're miles from being our 2019 squad, which already wasn't good enough.

    Paddack not pitching in 2023 is the most likely result, though it's worth noting that athletes can return from an ACL tear in around 9-10 months, so I wouldn't rule out Lewis being good to go by some point in the first half of the year. I just have no hope long-term that this team will be able to avoid injuries - both the hitters and pitchers have been constantly plagued by it the past couple years and the minor league system isn't faring a whole lot better.

    The line has gone from GB -1.5 to MIN -2.5 in the past 24 hours… ?

    This offense is suddenly good at scoring garbage time runs - what, is Cleveland playing prevent defense or something?

    Balazovic has a long ways to go, even with this step in the right direction. He's got to prove 2022 was an outlier with a hot start next year. I wouldn't mind getting Wallner up to the majors with some of our bats cooling, I'd like him over Cave and over Garlick vs RHs.

    Dang, I got busy doing other things and didn't even notice the Twins scored 6. Ironic how Correa is erupting today when we really could have used this the past week from him.

    I don't know how anyone could watch this team the past 6-8 weeks and come to this conclusion... they're clearly not built to go on any sort of run. They are barely treading water in the worst division in baseball! Not to mention how horrifically they play when they face the likes of the Yankees/Dodgers/Astros. If they do reach the postseason, it's probably the weakest team they've reached it since... I don't even know when. Heck, I'd take the 2017 squad over this one. They're poised to add on to their playoff loss streak if they do sneak in.

    Didn't our bullpen numbers plummet right when Johnson left? I'm not sure we should look into these things with small sample sizes, but I can't believe that Wes leaving helped things. But there could be truth to the MPH+ training leading to more injuries. Well, the stats don't really show the whole story since he was the best reliever in baseball the first two months, then became completely unusable until the Padres traded him, and now he's been mediocre for the Brewers. I'd still take him, but we'd be disappointed with him if he were not traded - he hasn't been his old self for a good 3 months now.

    The pitch clock is a godsend, don't care about the bases... I don't like the shift limitations, but I suppose it's worth a shot.
  13. Danchat
    Is an ump going to help us save this game? That would be hard to believe.
  14. Danchat
    Got it, I was wondering why he got pulled so quick.
  15. Danchat
    9-8
  16. Danchat
    Yup, I won all 3 bets against them in this series. At some point you'd think the sportsbooks would learn and ban betting on Twins-Yanks games until some regression finally comes...
  17. Danchat
    Well done, sir!
  18. Danchat
    Bringing in Moran to face Judge... bold move. *ducks for cover*
  19. Danchat
    You're thinking he'll opt in and be a trade option? Hmmm, I never considered that.
  20. Danchat
    Megill has both losses in this series... can we DFA him? Or hire somebody who can figure out how to fix the likes of Megill and Pagan? Can't keep these guys on the roster if they can't do their job. Meanwhile, my plan to bet on the Yankees over the Twins every game this year has a 80% success rate. Let's see if that will continue through the final two games.
  21. Danchat
    Both of these teams are embarrassing themselves today...
  22. Danchat
    I would be pissed about Guzman if I were a Yankees fan, you get a shot with the majors squad and you do that with the bases loaded no out?!
  23. Danchat
    Correa may not be living up to his pay at the plate, but he sure has defensively. Heck of a play!
  24. Danchat
    Thanks for the free out, NY!
  25. Danchat
    Bold of you to assume we’ll have another lead in this series…
