Cash money not broken bones right? RIGHT?!

I have meetings with factories in Asia several nights per week, and young kids. I tend to check in between responsibilities

I believe I read that if Ryan were to go 5 innings, 3 or fewer hits, he would have a record for the first rookie to have accomplished that feat through his first 3 starts

Go Orioles and Jays!

Do you think if Bert were still in the broadcast booth, he’d still pull out the “downward plane” cliche with Ryan on the mound?

running rough-shod all over the Tigers!

Buxton!

Yes

It’s been on my To-Watch list for years. I love the Coen brothers and Tim Robbins

It’s official… cursed

“do you believe in tanking” kinda sounds like “do you believe in Space aliens” Of course there are people that believe… I am not one of them

End of the Line for Brent Rooker?
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'm arguing this like I love Rooker. I don't, and if he were DFA'd or traded, life would move on... but it seems like there's a contingent forgetting that Rooker hasn't hit arbitration yet and still has 2 options. He's cheap and can go to AAA. As a comparison to how expensive he is: Rooker Sano 2022 Salary 570k 9.25M 2023 Salary Arb 1 14M MiLB Options 2 (after 2021) 0 2021 fwar -0.1 0.3 2021 OPS 0.691 0.773 k% 32.50% 34.40% BB% 7.60% 11.20% wRC+ 91 109 Sano is better than Rooker, no doubt, but Rooker could be as good, or better than Sano in 2022 and 2023, for $8.5 million to 13 million less. Floating him on waivers to see if he passes to free up a 40 man spot, when there are 10 other players on the 40 man coming off already guarantees that in 2023 the team is spending $10-14m on DH rather than pitching. -
That is a fantastic picture! I will forever think of Go-Go Gomez in context of shouting on my couch “Look at him go!…. Awe, he’s out” and muttering “jeez! Hit the cutoff man!”

Bailey Ober's successful innings management
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Isn’t the old adage about sophomore slump for starting pitchers due to blowing past their previous innings peaks and having a dead arm their second year? Im not sure I’d stretch his innings much year 2, maybe 5-10% and look for year 3 to start extending the length of his starts significantly -
End of the Line for Brent Rooker?
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don’t think Wade is a good comp. In AA/AAA Wade never hit like Rooker. Wade has been a 100-ish wRC+ sporting mixed results as a fielder and maybe miscast as a CF. Rooker on the other hand has been 140s to 160s wRC+ and is a decidedly negative UZR150. there wasn’t much shown with the bat for Wade to have predicted a 125 wRC+ in the bigs in 2021, but he’s a good enough fielder to stick (like Cave). Rooker on the other hand has a big league bat if his eye at the plate continues to improve. The question is no longer how many no hit mediocre fielding 4th outfielders can a team carry? The question is: how many DHs can a team carry, and which one sticks? -
2 on…. Let’s catch up a bit here

Trip to the 60 day IL, probably

Is worth two in the hand? wait wait wait, I thought a ball in the hand is worth two in the bush
