    Well, technically that's an improvement in the bunting dept for Lee
  2. The Great Hambino
    I like some of the things Shelton does. Going to Topa as much as humanly possible is not one of those things Dodged a bullet
  3. The Great Hambino
    I hope so, Topa gives me the willies

    I've noticed that too. I'm sure carrying more lefties in the pen will lead to more matchup-based usage than normal since it's not really an option when you're only carrying one. It could also be a bit of a fact-finding mission as they are still trying to figure out what this motley crew can and can't do. I wonder if this will decrease if/when roles become more defined.

    I thought basically the same thing, and it certainly shaped my view of the trade at the time. Happy to be wrong here. Maybe there's another angle here: are the Rays sneaky bad at being the buyer in trades? They certainly have more practice being the seller
  6. The Great Hambino
    Great, it comes down to Topa vs Dirk Diggler
  7. The Great Hambino
    Bullpen conjuring suspense out of thin air God, I hate these Eric Byrnes commercials about as much as I hate snakes, raw onions, and Jane's Addiction
  8. The Great Hambino
    This might be the most I've enjoyed an in-game interview with a player
  9. The Great Hambino
    I know it didn't work out completely cleanly, but I love that they let him go out for the 7th. Well done Shelton, well done Taj
  10. The Great Hambino
    What a great challenge by Jeffers. Might've bought Bradley another inning
  11. The Great Hambino
    Chasing Skubal in the fifth with a string of hits when the inning began with Lee bunting the ball off his own face. Baseball is weird and fun
  12. The Great Hambino
    Cold nights like this might push Skubal toward LA over NY

    Did ... did Lee just hit himself in the face with the bat on a bunt attempt? See, this is why you don't bunt. Too dangerous
  15. The Great Hambino
    I gotta say, Wallner's put together some nice ABs the last couple of games. Facing a dominant lefty, attack early in the count and go with the pitch. We can work with this
  16. The Great Hambino
    They must really be afraid of Martin or Roden having to cover CF for even a short spell Would a plausible workaround to that be Roden/Kriedler up, Outman/Clemens down? Roden/Martin platoon in LF, Bell at 1B most days, Larnach at DH most days, Caratini a true backup at C/1B while moonlighting as DH (he'd still play a decent amount), Kriedler primary utility IF while providing cover in CF. I don't think the D we've seen at 1B from Clemens is appreciably any better than Bell, so he becomes unnecessary pretty quickly. Kriedler can't hit but neither can Outman, and at least he provides some positive versatility. I don't see anyone picking up Outman after the start he's had. Clemens might, but that's fine. He isn't doing anything well enough to justify a spot anymore.
  17. The Great Hambino
    Alright Carrot Teenie
  18. The Great Hambino
    Outman's batting line or the attendance?
  19. The Great Hambino
    I think he's been incredibly consistent with his time in the WBC
  20. The Great Hambino
    It's not a drinking problem, it's a drinking solution
  21. The Great Hambino
    Honestly, I think it's cuz it hit the mound. That's a dumb and bad reason, but I can't think of a better one
  22. The Great Hambino
    The distinction between hit and error has become meaningless
  23. The Great Hambino
    But those spring training stats tho
  24. The Great Hambino
    Were they both first pitch? Managers should be able to immediately veto their own players' challenges. That could lead to some fun dugout moments
  25. The Great Hambino
    Know what's funny/incredibly sad? 2026 Twins w/ RISP: .239/.360/.373/.734 2026 Twins overall: .192/.298/.331/.639 They've been better with RISP than overall. By quite a bit. And they have not really been all that good with RISP
