  1. I think he's been incredibly consistent with his time in the WBC
  2. 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
  3. The distinction between hit and error has become meaningless
  4. Were they both first pitch? Managers should be able to immediately veto their own players' challenges. That could lead to some fun dugout moments
  5. 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
  6. The Pohlads requested a built-in excuse for bad attendance figures
  7. Man, when Ryan's breaking stuff is on point, he's fun to watch and tough to hit
  8. Remember: the FO looked at the roster, saw Topa slotted into a high leverage role, and said, "we're good"
  9. Certainly explains the offensive bonanza we're seeing today
  10. Harry Doyle: One hit, that's all we got? One goddamn hit? Manager of Dunder Mifflin Albany branch: You can't say goddamn on the air. Doyle: Don't worry, nobody is listening anyway
  11. Pro tip for those looking to take advantage of the $2 pregame brewskis: Many of the lines have you grab them from a cooler while you wait in line before checking out, so be prepared to be standing in line while holding cold cans of beer. As you might have heard, it was chilly at the game, and they frown upon you drinking your beer before you pay for it, so be prepared to come with a hand-warming solution, uh, in hand. Luckily for us, they were handing out these convenient knit beer satchels to the first 10,000 fans in attendance. A bunch of the uncultured rubes in attendance made fools of themselves by putting these satchels on their heads, but it became immediately obvious that there true value lies in the ability to use it to hold your beers while you wait in line so you don't freeze your fingers. But they're not gonna be handing those out every game, so come prepared. Or you can buy a coozie for six bucks. They're not worth three beers, but to each their own.
  12. Gray’s homer cleared the wall at its apex. That thing was a laser. If you’re gonna slog through a cold wet miserable afternoon, might as well win. Hopefully Buxton isn’t too bad
  13. Power just went out at the park. Definitely not a metaphor whatsoever
  14. Full disclosure, I thought it was implied that I was showing 5-year-old me’s thoughts, and it might not have been as clear as it was in my head
  15. Nah, pretty sure it's Monday. I know my days of the week Of course I'm being ironic - it's a game thread
  16. When I was a kid, it was always confusing to me why Good Friday was called Good Friday. Like, they killed him. How is that good? I would also get thrown off by Monday Thursday
  17. Some of the hidden value of Caratini is that because of his presence on the roster, Bell hasn't yet made an appearance in the field. So far exclusively he's been a DH. There will come a time when that's no longer true, and I think we'll have a greater appreciation of Caratini's competent 1B play at that time. Plus, I think his real value is as the bridge C between Jeffers and Tait/the next bridge to Tait, depending on his development. It's not a coincidence that he's the only new guy brought in with a guarantee for next year And if he starts to take off above expectations, he could be the inspiration of some avant-garde custom cocktails at the bars in the park. Do I want a carrot-infused martini? Probably not! But I'd give it a try anyway
