    Even a Little League team score a couple of runs when they have 7 walks. This one falls on Shelton,should have PH numerous times and didn't. Caratini looked like he had zero interest in being in the box after fouling the ball off his knee. Bell and Lee were flat out terrible hitting into inning ending DP's. Just maybe Clemens,Larnach or Roden could have sparked a comeback. This hurts because both the White Sox and Cleveland lost and the Tigers won and only a half game back.

    Trading Jeffers and or Jackson may be on hold until Caratini is ready. He had to be helped off the field last night. The last thing a catcher needs is a bruised knee. If they still think the team is still in the division or WC they can't go with one catcher if Caratini is on IL. This is just another thing that has happened to the team they didn't need.

    One out of the last 4 games has been watchable. This is starting to look like the same team that came out of the break last year. They had a workout last Thursday that apparently didn't do anything to get them fired up for the 2nd half. They will be a seller if they get swept by Cleveland and should be.

    Love the folks who always say the team needs to increase the payroll. How has that worked so far. Did that work for them signing Donaldson or Correa and with Lopez going down has been a drag on the staff. With the CBA coming at the end of the season the team needs to at least play the next 10 games and see where they stand. I think the owners have a better idea of where the negotiations are heading then anyone here does. With the Jeffers situation being what it is he should be traded before the deadline. He has been unavailable for weeks and the team stayed in the mix. With Larnach and Bell,can you really trade 100 RBI away to replace them with a rookie who could look over matched in the box. With Roden being called up over Wallner I would say that is the end of Wallner as a player of the future. So let's move him for whatever he brings.

    Had the SP in trouble in the 1st inning and fell flat after that. Bad at bat after bad at bat with runners in scoring position. With the Angels getting in at 4 in the morning it was the Twins that looked like they got in at 4. Can't give games away to the worst team in baseball. Even with Buxton and Trout on the bench the Twins are the better team but didn't show it. With the new FO Kurt Suzuki being on a 1 year deal will be shown the door at the end of the season if not sooner.

    This is what happens when you have a real manager and coaches who know what they are doing. You win games you shouldn't because they are playing all 27 outs. They put pressure on the opponent's SP with good at bats getting pitch counts up. Even with 2 outs the inning is not over.

    The team is still in the mix right now for the division or a WC spot. And trading a 100 RBI player by the end of the season for the possible future what. The team has a log jam of OFers and IFers as well. So we get a BP arm or a A or AA SP that is years away. Right now you win games by scoring more runs than your opponent. If people really think a trade of Bell will bring another Ryan are wishful thinkers. Look around baseball SP are a premium because of arm and shoulder issues.

    From what I see is they have to be careful about messing with the chemistry of the team. If they drop 10 games of the next 15 then make moves. If they win 10 then try to get a couple of BP arms using a Wallner and a prospect or 2. Right now other than Jeffers who is on IL everyone but Gray and Fedko are producing hits and runs. As it stands the AL is wide open and the NL will be fishing there at the deadline.

    Comparing Bell to Wallner as the DH is a bad idea. Bell is able to stay in the lineup with a LH pitching change and Wallner can't. Both are really bad defensively,but until this team falls out of the division Bell is far better at DH. Both are not good trade chips because of age and with Wallner also in AAA because of his K-rate. After today's game watching Fedko hit was absolutely unwatchable and needs to be in St Paul. If Buxton can't play bring Roden up because his bat plays and Fedko's doesn't.

    At the point of this trade the BP cupboard was bear there was only 2 arms left. And then the new FO did nothing in the off season to fill the need. And now have had to get DFAed arms and bring an arm from Saints up today and down tomorrow. Plus the 2 arms that were left,1 has been on IL all season and the other has had trouble throwing strikes and been back and forth to AAA. With the team playing far better than anyone thought this team probably would be a .500 team or better with a BP that Varland was a part of. The other trade that hasn't seen fruit is the Duran trade,Abel needed to be part of the rotation and is on the IL until probably September. And yes he may be good to go next year,but they needed him this year. When Lopez had the have TJ that left a big hole in the rotation and Abel would have been the answer.

    They go to Yankee stadium and put their choke collars on. The only player who showed up was Clemens the rest were lost. There was one miracle in the game Funderburk pitched 2 innings without walking anyone. As soon as Orze came in I knew the game was over,up to that point there was a chance. Watching Gray's one at bat where he struck out on 3 pitches how is it he is still on this roster. If they want a chance at WC spot changes have to be made sooner not later and he is one of them.

    Who do all of you want at bat after 90 game with RISP, Bell or Buxton? For me I go Bell every time. A majority of Buxton's RBI are solo homeruns. As it stands Lee,Clemens,Bell and Larnach are the hitters you want in the box with RISP. The biggest problem this team has is the BP, with a 7-1 lead the game was not over. Just like last Friday with a 7-0 the BP fell apart putting Laweryson in the 6th let the Astros back in the game. Both Laweryson and Gray should be on their way to the Saints today. Watching Gray his bat is now affecting his play in the field. And Laweryson is a RH Funderburk can't put hitters away.

    Plain and simple this one was all Ryan's fault. The Astros hitters weren't swinging at has waste pitches so they got to 3-2 counts. His pitch count was 91 after 4 innings. The other problem was the lineup that had Burrows on the ropes in the 1st and let him off. He was at 25+ pitches after one and they decided to swing at first pitches making quick outs. They have to be excited about what Raya did in this outing. He got out of trouble in his 1st inning and pitched a 1-2-3 second inning.

    Hate it bring it up again but Buxton is not getting it done. With no outs in the sixth and Larnach on 2nd he hits a ground ball to SS not advancing Larnach to 3rd. Next man up Clemens hits a fly ball to deep RC that would have scored Larnach easily. Why not PH Bell for him in that spot with Buxton as DH and not playing CF. The way the series was going all weekend the Rockies were not going anywhere. I think PHing Bell for Larnach was a mistake. Watching Larnach bat the whole day he was hitting balls on the screws. Plus that took another player off the bench because Bell isn't playing the OF.

    First off we have to stop blaming attendance on payroll. It's not payroll that's the problem with the Mets or how about the Guardians. The FO over the last few years was plain and simple terrible. They drafted poorly and made bad trades. You have players in the minors who everyone wants to see but can't stay healthy. You have players who can't perform on the big stage and have to return to the minors as well. And last but not least the location of the stadium is not good. The lack of law enforcement in the area is a concern.
