    You know who to call

    Buxton is far from a lock. He might be leading centerfielders in WAR (technically Julio Rodriguez has passed him in bWAR), but they vote on outfielders as a whole. He's only 7th in the AL among outfielders - Bader has even snuck by him for the moment. And assuming he'll pick up right where he left off post-concussion is pretty optimistic. He's had a great stretch, but he definitely has some work to do. I think Ryan has the best chance on the roster of getting picked before the manager-fill-out-the-roster phase, and that stage becomes a crapshoot based on which teams need someone and who their viable candidates are.

    This is a fantastic headline

    I remember Sano's finest moment - walking off Atlanta with a dead center blast that was such a no doubter that Acuna didn't even turn around - just started jogging in as it entered orbit

    He also normally doesn't have his best starter still going with 79 pitches entering the ninth. i think that's relevant to the decision

    I'm reading that tonight's game is rescheduled for September's series, and they'll try to finish Monday's game before the regularly scheduled game tomorrow

    It also never was going to happen. The bill to fund the stadium barely passed without the roof. There was no way it would've passed with $200MM+ added to the price tag. The choice wasn't roof or no roof. The choice was no roof or no Twins. Also, every stadium with a retractable roof looks dumb. They still haven't really figured that out.

    Best watch yourself in case that poodle retaliates
  9. The Great Hambino
    So the bench is Bride, Fitzgerald, and PTBNL?

    They've also been losing followers and influence to the "hip" megachurch on the north side of town for the last couple decades
  11. The Great Hambino
    I honestly can't tell anymore
  12. The Great Hambino
    Broadcast confirms Buxton and Correa both in concussion protocol
  13. The Great Hambino
    No one has been pulled out in Des Moines yet. I'm suddenly much more interested in the Game 2 lineup
  14. The Great Hambino
    Paddack back out. Back to back outings into at least the 7th when the team really needed it
  15. The Great Hambino
    They're not fooling anyone
  16. The Great Hambino
    Unfortunately can't say the same about the slide into second
  17. The Great Hambino
    Kiersey is barely OPS'ing his weight
  18. The Great Hambino
    I think they might be on to Sim
  19. The Great Hambino
    I didn't pick up on that. Not so good
  20. The Great Hambino
    From what I saw it looked like Lee was probably going to be safe easily, but he ain't exactly Vince Coleman. I understand the move
  21. The Great Hambino
    Larnach did not miss
  22. The Great Hambino
    Hopefully SWR was taking notes when Professor Paddack gave his seminar on the benefits of first pitch strikes. It would be great if he saw the sixth

    I have a theory that doubleheaders are more likely to end in a split than any two random games. If every game's a coin flip, then it would be a split 50% of the time. But between the winner of game 1 being more likely to burn their top bullpen arms, the game 1 loser trying extra hard to avoid a sweep, and the game 1 winner having a natural easing up after having a win banked away, I figured splits would happen well above 50% of the time. I started trying to track it a couple years ago. In 2023 splits did happen quite a bit more often. Last year was a pretty even split. And so far this year, splits have only happened in 3 of 10 doubleheaders so far. In conclusion, I've wasted a lot of my/my employer's time

    Ober has mastered the art of looking much worse than his boxscore this year
  25. The Great Hambino
    Clemens in the 3 hole now, that's neat
