  1. So the Detroit Tigers run out a opener/primary, and have a perfecto going against the O’s through six. I don’t have Tigers Perfect Game on my 2024 Bingo card, but I do have ‘Twins finish 4th place in the Central’ on a corner square, so curious to see how this all turns out …. not that I’m cheering for that. but who knew it might be an outside possibility heading into the final two weeks.
  2. Also, the Red Sox are giving the Yankees fits tonight
  3. I dunno, the Reds may be mediocre like most other teams, but it feels like they will actually put up a fight and not be pushovers. They have not announced starters for Saturday or Sunday. I wonder if that's because they are having rotations issues? or if their manager will try to use the bullpen to throw off Rocco's platooning. I know Hunter Greene is on the IL--having a great year and would have been fun to see him.
  4. I'm not seeing that one. From Spotrac's Buxton public page: Contract Notes Annual MVP Bonuses: 1st: $8M 2nd: $7M 3rd: $6M 4th: $5M 5th: $4M 6th-10th: $3M Plate Appearances $500,000 each for 502, 533, 567, 600, 625 2022-2026: Full No Trade Clause 2027-2028: 5-team trade list Source: MLB contract specifics generally collected from verified reports.
  5. “I can see the game thread, but even if I cannot see the game thread, I know that it exists. And to know that the game thread is there and has not been locked for the night - that is living.” -Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
  6. That may be home town bias, based on all the comments I have read about Santana recently not making certain plays or me seeing him miss a couple scoops at first with my own eyes. Either way, I digress.
  7. I was wondering if someone would bring this up. Miranda has great splits against lefties in the minors. Do you really think Miranda would struggle against lefties with regular playing time and a regular role? I am not opposed to your suggestion to put Miranda at 1B full time, which would take away Julien’s potential at bats as a 1B. I don’t have a good read on either one’s glove or footwork at first?
  8. Not sure why TwinsDaily pushed this so hard? I have no problem having Julien as a DH or pinch hitter. There can be a role for that especially in a playoff series. I think, much like Miguel Sano, Julien is who he is at this point, a high exit velo guy who is prone to streakiness and may even be able to carve out a role as first baseman for a while. A Miranda/Julien platoon at 1B/DH seems like a simple in-house replacement or even upgrade from Santana next year.. I was just typing out the same thing. 🙂
  9. That is looking more and more true, unfortunately. Doesn’t he have a cutter? Maybe make that his bread and butter pitch & save the true four seam for special moments. As long as we win Pablo’s and Ober’s starts we should be good.
  10. I like that Durán has an actual save chance here. Very old fashioned but whatever.
  11. ok well that is an impossible ask. Anyway, the wild card series is probably going to line up Game 1 Ober and then Game 2 Lopez. (but maybe not; still time for shuffling) Rocco has a history of pulling his starters extremely early in past postseason games. I don't think you will be able to justify doing that this year. I also think Rocco leaves in Ober through minimum 6 and Lopez 7 through sheer necessity, because he doesn't have a better option. Agreed?
  12. You may or may not recall that the Saints made it to the NFC championship the season right after Katrina, and they lost—- or was that part of the script as well? 🙂
  13. Hope your rehearsal went well 🙂
  14. Thanks for your company and thanks for not going ballistic… I am going to go put the teeth in the glass and advance scout the 9ers for a bit here 2nd & Goal
  15. Funny thing is, because of the WhiteSox, the Twins get all the tiebreakers (unless Boston sweeps us, in which case its Defcon 1 anyway)
  16. Welp almost 8-2 there after that foul ball Still within shouting distance in the bottom of the 9th
  17. Scott Blewett wasnt there a player named SuckedTonight available?
  18. Well they will at least have something to tell their grandkids about this season lol
  19. “A.I., create a Star Wars Flintstones joke out of this”
  20. His financial advisor is actually creating a Max Kepler resume instead of thumbing through the Rolodex for MLB teams who need right fielders.
  21. I did not know that either. Thanks, IndiansTwin
  22. Great job Wallner backing that up. I feel like Kepler might have been checking his smartphone out there.
