  1. Bremergasm means Richard is an amateur too?
  2. Phillips was quite a ways from the wall and was already reaching his hand out… Twins gotta pick that little nugget up
  3. I don’t mind the chatter, it mitigates the cliches a bit. I got annoyed by the Buxton interview, too glitchy and repetitive. I like video production and stats.
  4. Watching my first AppleTV+ game, I REALLY like the live stat in the bottom right of the screen
  5. An opener with Archer or Bundy where they clearly get exposed the third time through the lineup, makes sense on the surface. I challenge this a bit due to a reliever is more effective after a start, because a fresh arm is more effective than a tired one. Why not just yank the starter before the third time through the lineup? piggy backing archer or Bundy with a long reliever (like Sands, or each other) would be more effective in managing innings and effectiveness for the starters and the bullpen
  6. That’s not Rocco’s choice. Thad or Derek make that decision
  7. Me too, those 3 I pretty much trust implicitly, but looking at the rest of the pen I gotta ask: Trust with what? like Pagan for instance, he’s “fine”, I trust him ok for a hold, wouldn’t trust him in a “late and close” situation
  8. Sure, just like we’re expressing our opinions here. It’s not the what, it’s the how
  9. Jax has been very good and improving as the season progresses, seeing that xwOBA trend down over the last 100 PAs tells me Jax is embracing his role as a relief pitcher and should be used in some higher leverage spots. having Jax added to Duran and Smith to the closer/setup man leverage mix helps quite a bit. additionally, between now and the trade deadline, they need to churn the Megill, Cotton, Cano et al. group of pitchers to see what you have in higher upside arms on the farm. Maybe Canterino, or Jordy Blaze or someone else, not sure, but those three aren’t moving the needle much. One of them should get swapped out for a swing man, and one for another short appearance reliever at least. Im starting to think Duffey needs to go. We’re past the blip of “it’s a bad stretch but he can recover” phase. Instead of swapping two of Cano, Megill, Cotton, maybe only one and Duffey
  10. “Acerbic” is good word, one I don’t use is my day-to-day often enough. im not a big fan of booing players in general. They’re allowed opinions just like the rest of us. edit to add: I forgot about the Anderson thing. Still not a fan of booing players, but that particular issue isn’t as excusable as just being a jerk.
  11. I assume Buck likes velvet like George Costanza I know I do
  12. Archer’s best outing of the season. Good timing. In the warmups Gladden scoffed because Archer’s last outing was his longest at 57 pitches for quite some time (2019 I think) I doubt he comes back out for the 6th at 70 pitches
  13. Good to see aggressive base running by Gio
  14. Cmon Twins, good chance to put a run or two on the board!
  15. You choose to focus on one of the team’s best players being back as a good thing, or you can choose to complain about it. Like I tell my eight year old, it’s up to you if you want to be happy in life.
