    what the heck is a “singles on a fly ball to shortstop” i will assume a texas leaguer?
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    did you try turning it on and off lol
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The front office would look like geniuses for staying a million miles away from this! (and one of Royce Lewis and or Brooks Lee would have their natural position to play)

    A win makes for a better flight home
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    and do you know why there's no crying in baseball? 🙂

    Actually, I don’t disagree. I needed a starting pitcher comp on the Twins, even though there isn’t a very good one. I didn’t want to use Sonny Gray, so I used Maeda. Maybe I should have used Joe Ryan….

    Will be a shame when he's sent back down for [fill in the blank] reason /snark
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So that’s where you were going with that 🙂

    I guess to clear up any confusion:

    I want to see a competitive AL Central race as much as the next guy, but Cleveland has had the looks of a 90 loss team since about mid-June. Their GM apparently saw the same thing I was seeing. Or vice versa. Good year for them to retool. I’m seeing people really downplaying that 1B prospect. Sounds more like sour grapes, but who knows. You mention he will have impact in 2027. By that timeline, we should expect Julien to start having an impact by 2026, then? By the way, welcome to Twins Daily. 🙂

    Cleveland and Minnesota should be dueling it out with 90-plus win seasons year after year. That’s what a fun summer of baseball looks like to me!

    Civale is doing great but is a continual injury risk. They definitely sold high. Gutsy and probably smart. Someone compared Manzardo to Miranda, lol, did they even look at their minor league numbers? What Cleveland did here was the equivalent of the Twins trading Gallo and Maeda. If the Twins had done that, all of the writers on here would be praising the front office to no end. And none of the writers are mentioning how Cleveland lost their top two starters to injury. Convenient omission. Imagine the angst if the Twins had lost two of their best starters. (No, Mahle doesn’t count.) This was the perfect season for Cleveland to retool. They can give some of their young starters a nice run, see how they perform. And Cleveland does have some nice young starters ready for the chance to break through. They always do. I don’t think they are trying to win the division this year. All the better for the Twins who seem to be in “win now” mode anyway. Unlike the Twins, Cleveland does have some problems to address in the offseason, but Antonetti has set them up nicely for 2024 and beyond.

    This, thank you.

    I thought they definitely should have made a move to add to their bullpen yesterday. But as far as bullpen help for the first playoff round, here’s an idea we can start thinking about. The Twins will only need three starters there, so when is the best time to sit down with them as a unit and lay this out? Who would volunteer to pitch from the bullpen? If we count it out 1-2-3-4-5 from now until the end of the season, the game one starter would be Lopez’s turn, followed by Ryan, then Gray. I kind of like the idea of Ober starting game two and saving Gray for an inning or two in relief, so the rotation will need to be adjusted before then. I would offer Gray the game one and game five starts for the second round to see if he would be willing to pitch in the bullpen that first round. Either that or be left off the roster.

    I think there honestly needs to be a #4: They were a little spooked that last year’s deadline deals were a disaster.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You are correct, I forgot that the postseason is seeded with byes for 1 and 2 like the NFL now.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good question about Dallas Keuchel. I guess we will find out soon enough. The Brock Stewart thing was always too good to be true. How many guys suddenly add 5 to 6 mph to their fastball? Best to thank him for his contributions than worry about his absence. The rotation should still be fine, but are starting to wear down. Clearly they were overachieving in the first half. Odds are good that at least one of them gets hot again as the season winds down. And then Correa and Buxton. Shoulder shrug. Sounds like doing nothing at the deadline was unacceptable to a lot of fans here. Well, I had no idea what they were supposed to do, and neither did they, apparently.

    Adam Wainwright is on an expiring contract, I think the Twins should ask about him lol
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hopefully this launches Houston into the AL West division win. I shudder at the thought of hosting them as a 4 seed in the opening round. (Would probably be 2 games and out, our only round)
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This Twins front office doesn’t do squishy stuff. If this is up for debate, then I would start by asking why they traded away Arraez, a fan favorite.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    ? I don’t know how you can compare Cleveland and Tampa Bay. They are both smart? Sure that works Clevaland has been in MLB for 100 years, and Tampa Bay is the youngest MLB franchise that literally had no fan base and no money when their team began playing, still have few fans and little money, and adapted accordingly.

    Maybe the best course of action today is no action:
