No I agree. Ober looks promising. But the Cardinals aren’t winning it this year and people always say every player has their price.. So if not Ober then Varland enters the conversation. (Assuming the Twins and Cardinals are talking) -
That sounds like a good offer from a Twins standpoint, but you always need to ask what it would look like if you were a fan of the other team.

A year ago at the trade deadline, Jose Miranda was OPSing at .800 and it would have sounded foolish to suggest trading him, a young player on the rise. A year later, things look different. With that said, would Bailey Ober be a good trade piece to give up? I don’t know. The Cardinals would be interested, I would think. It would be nice to see Gray, Lopez and Ryan all keep pitching at high levels in order to give up a rotation piece like Ober for a bat like Goldschmidt or Arenado.

Mariners 7, Twins 6: Sonny Gray Boils Down
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
There was a time when I thought Gray had a legitimate beef with Rocco pulling him too soon. Well so much for that. Actually the whole rotation looks like it’s coming back to earth.- 65 replies

Yeah, on just one swing of the bat, everything can become magnified

Not over yet! Everybody come back!

So the report on this guy is he works high in the zone, so the home run swings with runners on base will need to be minimized tonight if possible.

Good take - a Nixon goes to China level of diplomacy that hopefully both sides can be happy with

In the spirit of the internet, I don’t think anyone else really cared 🙂

Oops NFC West
-
In the spirit of the internet, I will post this before fact checking it. But iirc when the Seattle Seahawks were a new franchise, they played their first season the NFC Central with the Vikes Bears Lions and meatpackers, before switching into the AFC West their second season.

That is also one of the 2 or 3 ways I will remember Kep (2 are positive and 2 of 3 aint bad)

Rumor: Will the Guardians Trade Aaron Civale?
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I expect Cleveland to hold, but yeah their lineup is 50 feet of crap worse than the Twins. -
We like to do Twins all time lineups, so here's a Seattle one LF Ichiro CF Griffey SS A Rod DH E. Martinez 3B Kyle Seager 1B Alvin Davis RF Jay Buhner 2B Harold Reynolds C Dan Wilson (he went to Minnesota, ya know)

wow buck dropped below the Mendoza line? nice to see correa pick it up and Kirilloff throw the team on his back for a day
-
Escobar is a great guy and it’s too bad he missed Arizona’s competitive window by a couple years.
-
Gray seems like a guy with his ducks in a row. The upcoming 1/20 QO might look really good to him.

I would need to see at least a full season, better yet 2 or 3 seasons, like the Dodgers or Cleveland had, maintaining a spot at the very top of the leader boards, before I start calling Falvey an elite pitching mind. Hopefully with a new organization. As said, there was a cost to get to this point. Bringing in guys like Pagan, Mahle, etc, needs to be a part of the story as well, and not called quibbles. They have plenty of other whiffs on evaluations, in my opinion these are guys like Pressly, Dobnak, Wells, Thorpe, Gil, SWR, not to mention the train of fill in starters like Schoemaker and Archer, not trading guys like Jay or Gonsalves when they had a chance, and so on. All teams have misses like that, but an honest evaluation should mention the bad with the good and let people decide for themselves. I still think the bullpen is very shaky and the best thing that could happen is that we get a weak draw when we host the 6 seed and play our games in the daytime out of the limelight. Because the only reliever I would trust in a high pressure situation in a prime time game against Houston or New York would be Duran. Duran being the one really solid acquisition after Joe Ryan.

Also, incredible that our boys made Kyle Gibson look like Bob Gibson today. Who had Gibson striking out more batters than Joe Ryan, especially considering Ryan’s hot start? I don’t know if Ryan was upset at some ball strike calls, but you can’t let it affect you. That’s a thing where coaching absolutely makes a difference. Just sit down with him and tell him to forget it. Remind him who is coming up next inning and how to get that strike one, and put it behind you. Maybe someone like Tingler did that and it didn’t work. Not sure.

I’d be curious to know who was listening to Levine talk about Buxton this morning, and who was listening to Provus and Gladden during that 6-run sixth inning today. (The second big inning after the game was already out of reach.)

The Twins Made a Third Base Mistake
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
In my opinion, all that Miranda needed back in April/May was a few more days off sprinkled in, or some run at DH, to not let him get inside his own head too far. Also, last season all the writers wrote glowingly about how valuable Miranda was, rookie of the month in July, etc.
