  1. Is there something in the water at Target Field that renders pitchers unable to throw the ball to first???
  2. They gotta put an outline around the numbers or something on these navy alternates ... can barely see them
  3. Looks like Gasper has had quite an influence on Tolle. Has Mario found his Luigi?
  4. At various times, I've hypothesized that our friend Peter could possibly be Dave St Peter, Chief's burner account, or TC Bear himself. I think we can add Garcia's agent/mom to the list of possibilities
  5. Good points. But I'd add that Jeffers will be younger than the catchers that signed those larger deals - he'll be 29 this offseason whereas Contreras and Realmuto were heading into their age 31 and 35 seasons, respectively. Do good catchers generally not reach free agency in the first place? So much depends on how he looks upon his return, but I'm not sure if it would be unreasonable to offer the QO even if it's above his projected AAV in free agency given it's just a one year commitment 3/45 for Realmuto and 3/30 for Vasquez tells me that the FA catching market can be strange and unpredictable
  6. A big part of a player's value in free agency is the list of the other available free agents at their position. Here's a list of top potential free agent targets at catcher this offseason Catcher: Carson Kelly (mutual option), Ryan Jeffers, Tyler Stephenson, Travis d'Arnaud, Kyle Higashioka (mutual option), Gary Sánchez (mutual option), Jonah Heim Jeffers looks pretty good among that group to me. He's two years younger than Kelly, and the rest are roughly replacement level
  7. My biggest takeaway from the game is that Jeff Jarrett still needs money
  8. Quite the display of offense from both teams tonight First two batters: 2 runs Next 53 batters: 0 runs
  9. Justin Morneau of all people advocating runners making themselves a big target to make 3-6-3 throws more difficult is interesting
  10. Twins 6, Astros 3: A Little Rain is No Pain (But a Sprain, Alas! A Sprain...) ... in Spain stays mainly on the plain
  11. Is the ongoing debate about a potential Jeffers trade about to be replaced by an ongoing debate about a Jeffers qualifying offer? Right or wrong, I don't think an extension is within the realm of possibility Also, does the QO deadline occur before or after the CBA expires/lockout begins? This offseason is gonna suck
  12. Gleeman writes an article about Wallner being on the verge of getting sent down, gets sent down later that day Gleeman writes an article about Lewis being on the verge of getting sent down, gets sent down the following day Since leaving The Athletic, Gleeman might have unlocked the lamest superpower ever (Or he's getting tipped off on impending moves. I'd believe it either way)
  13. Garcia and Topa (will [not should] replace Garcia and Rojas) a starter giving up 5 runs in 3 and a third 45th (middle of June)
  14. They were all under four so no baserunning yet! Dad definitely got an extra beer or two in "looking" for the free ice cream
  15. I was at the game but spent most of it trying to shepherd a small battalion of toddlers to the finish line without enduring any meltdowns (mostly a success!), so I wasn't able to pay attention the way I'd normally like, but it sure seemed like there were a lot of loud, warning-track outs that allowed Ober to get by
  16. Twins sure have a propensity to abondon relievers that go on to stumble into an All Star Game You heard it here first: Anthony Banda, 2028 All Star for the Rockies
  17. 1. Cool Papa 2. Taco 3. Liberty 4. Saved by the 5. Alexander Graham 6. Southwestern ........ 476,873. Josh
  18. Pat Murphy looks like he should be playing a cop in a 70s movie
  19. Well that's a play you can hang on the fridge. Nice job Royce
  20. Not sure if "double" or "attempt" deserve bigger air quotes here
