    So far, so good for Varland. Helps that the offense finally decided to show up in the early innings.

    It's shocking to see the Yankees' lineup emaciated like this - Guzman hitting at the #4 spot? He was literally just called up after not being in the majors since 2021. But they'll still likely beat us all the same!

    2/3 of the 2020 season is 40 games... yeah, that's nice to get out of a minor league free agent, but it's nothing to write home about. Pretty telling if that's one of the primary success stories for the FO in 6 years. But we've been saying that for years, and yet this season we've had to trade for Gray, Paddack, and Mahle, and had to sign Bundy and Archer... and we'll probably need to add more for next year as well. As for the current pipeline... it's Varland and Woods-Richardson, and then not much on the horizon. MLB.com's last update placed the Twins farm system at #23 and I agree that it's in the bottom 10. There's certainly no starter prospects who profiles as a future ace, which is something we've been hoping that the new regime would be able to find since Cleveland developed the likes of Clevinger, Bauer (yes, I know he was traded) and Bieber.

    A single series shouldn't determine anything for the full season - to me it's more about how they play in the aggregate. The Yankees series isn't going to change what I think about this squad.
  5. Danchat
    Incredible, 1 HR on the year for Kiner-Falefa on 400+ PAs, yet Pagan gives him one. He's going to set a single season HR rate record for pitchers/relievers.

    I was about to post 'I have a feeling Megill gives up a run this inning', but looks like I was too late.
  7. Danchat
    All our trade additions flopped in this series... ?
  8. Danchat
    So it seems they didn't use the maximum call-ups for Moran?
  9. Danchat
    Don't worry, that someone is the Yankees. 4 games in the Bronx will do the trick.
  10. Danchat
    I am not one for hyperbole, but this is a "fire everyone" game. It's time for a new front office and coaching staff.
  11. Danchat
    Hold on, Gordon is pitching after using just 2 pitchers?! Why can't Megill come get the 8th? I know this game is lost, but do we really need to throw a whole bunch of white flags onto the field?
  12. Danchat
    Good to see Palacios finally get rewarded with a 40 man spot (previously he was up as a COVID temp player).
  13. Danchat
    I have high hopes for Steer, I think he's capable of hitting like Miranda has this season. There will be ups and downs, of course, but here's hoping both us and the Reds can get proper value from the trade.
  14. Danchat
    Reagor will be the #4 WR and the punt returner, he was actually very good at returning punts for the Eagles last year. But yes, he's pretty bad as a receiver, but he's got upside. I could see him working out as an occassional deep threat. Cutting ISM is very puzzling indeed, it seemed he was the #4 guy with Bisi's ACL tear, but it seems the new FO wasn't high on him. Especially since we could have cut our 10th OL (why is Udoh still on the team?). Now he's basically the Bears 2nd or 3rd best WR.
  15. Danchat
    Usually seems like that is the case with our minor league relievers, they can put up great numbers then get demolished. Cano stunk even worse and now he's getting trashed in BAL's AAA system. Seems like the best bet is failed starters becoming good MLB relievers, like we've seen Duran and Jax pan out this year.
  16. Danchat
    Hard to believe that Arraez has one less HR than Kepler - 9 to 8.
  17. Danchat
    FLASH GORDON!!!!!!!!
  18. Danchat
    I haven't seen any substantiated rumors, it's mostly fans who are drumming up talk about adding a center. They've given Bradbury zero competition and they're committed to starting him all through 2022. The backup center Schlottman is not going to push him (he's somehow been worse in pass protection when he's had to start games). Special teams, but he also played every snap with the 2nd team. I was surprised since Blake Lynch started several games over Dye last year and graded acceptably, while when Dye played in 2020 he was a disaster. So it's got to be special teams, I imagine. Hopefully Asamoah is the primary backup at LB.

    Yup, Archer usually goes through 3 innings well, then falls apart. He's a long reliever taking up a starting spot in our rotation, just wish we could see what he could do in 2-3 inning outings in case we do make it to the playoffs.
  20. Danchat
    Huh, interesting. I was super high on Blacklock in the 2020 draft but he didn't do much the last two years in Houston. He is a better fit in the 3-4 system but hasn't played as well as Watts has up to this point.
  21. Danchat
    Armon Watts was cut, which is a big surprise. He notched 5 sacks last year and looks like a solid interior pass rusher, but he's a better fit in a 4-3 defense. I guess he wasn't worth anything on the market, but he's a guarantee to be claimed on waivers. Jonathan Bullard is now a starter, or perhaps they plan to sign Suh.
  22. Danchat
    Bundy still gave up 9 hits and was lucky to only let in 2... buyer beware whomever signs him to a deal next year. I would wager a guess at another one year deal with a bigger price tag.
  23. Danchat
    So far, 3 of the 4 3rd rounders from 2021 have been cut (Mond, Chazz Surratt, Wyatt Davis) along with 2021 4th rounder Janarious Robinson. Oof! At least Darrisaw looks like a above average LT in the making and we did find Nwangwu and Bynum in the 4th round, but Spielman's quantity over quality approach did not work out as intended. I am intrigued to see if any of them get claimed on waivers - I am on the record predicting that Mond will be claimed.
  24. Danchat
    Are we at the 3:00 hour mark? If so, how and why is this game going so slow?
  25. Danchat
    Bisi tore his ACL so he's out for the year. McGill is week to week with an ankle injury and will likely be released off the IR in an injury settlement within the next month.
