  1. what are the odds of a ball striking that exact spot i guess the tying run probably is at second either way so.. maybe not a huge deal?
  2. THIS SPORT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME
  3. If Teoscar Hernandez and Seranthony Dominguez switched uniforms, would a Twins fan be able to tell the difference?
  4. A half-swing with his lead arm coming off the bat.
  5. Nice 1-2-3 job by Louie, considering the strike zone that inning
  6. There is one person on the entire planet who understands the reasoning behind the Varland trade (well, two people, if you count the Jays GM)
  7. Looks like Betts came up with a big base hit, and not a cheap one. He needed that like a wilting plant needs water. I love Betts (platonically) so that makes me ‘opposite-of-sad’ (I also love Game sevens)
  8. The Twins still haven’t replaced Astudillo… The two of you combined can recreate La Tortuga in the aggregate! @Parfigliano @ashbury
  9. I’m not actually down on Shelton, just based on tidbits I would pick up while listening to the radio during the 2019 season. that said, we need someone who will do this to the data Falvey is feeding us “here are your spreadsheets”
  10. Dodgers really digging a hole for themselves. Blue Jays pitching is overall good to great this series.
  11. Hopefully it was a strategy to wear down Ohtani, since he is scheduled to start tonight. Combined with it being a close game.
  12. just found out, this is actually the first game of a double-header
  13. I know a lot of fans asking for results—fans that don’t even post here! I get that you don’t read these but still. Anyway, the MLB draft is different now, too, than it was during the Houston and Washington teardowns. Too soon to tell about Baltimore, but I rate them a soft buy (I am optimistic for them) Going forward in 2026, a 100-loss season will still get you better than 50/50 chances of landing a top 3 pick (woo-hoo! 🙂 100 losses! great job everyone!) but you cannot really count on getting the top pick year after year like those teams did. I went back, and Houston actually swung and missed on a couple those. Toronto did not do a hard reset, and have a manager in the mold of Rocco Baldelli, and yet here they are. Many ways to get to the promised land now in the 3 wildcards era.
  14. My Siskel & Ebert review would be two thumbs down. If you’ve heard one Falvey interview, you’ve heard them all. I have met guys in my professional life in the same mold; I wouldn’t call them all competent. Maybe a few were. I do give credit for Falvey breaking in to the game as a self scout, however. These types of guys in my experience always say mostly the same things, in the same breezy voice, regardless of setting or topic. With a small edge of “I told you so” in their voice when things are going well (eg, postseason). I always preferred Levine just for his directness. There is a radio program called Inside Twins that airs on Sundays during the regular season. Falvey normally appears on this program about once every 3 weeks or so, rotating with Rocco and another person, but after this last trade deadline he did not appear as a guest on this program until mid-September, something like six or seven weeks. 6-7, as the kids would say it.
  15. what if it was baby Hitler? ... off topic?
  16. And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, and now the air is shattered by the force of the free swingin’ Mariner’s blow….
  17. Here we go…. (anyone expecting a Mitch Garver sighting?)
  18. Edit: also line drives
  19. Ground balls are so funny They can go for double plays or rally building base hits
  20. !? Both of these guys I would rate much closer to Baldelli than Joe Torre on the managing scale, and there’s always a whiff of desperation in these situations, but it is a Game 7 and taking your team there (or riding their coattails) is probably not grounds for firing?
  21. Managers managin’ like it’s a Game 7 or something 🙂
  22. For sure that is the better and more marketable matchup, no offense to the deserving Jays fans.
