    I think you are thinking of Mike Florio, not Dylan Floro. Football on the brain, I get it. 🙂 (also, Wendy’s)

    I do like the trade for Lopez's sake, but it doesn't really move the needle for the postseason. The Twins still need at least 2 or 3 more bullpen arms to slot between Jax and Duran, if they want to make any noise. Thielbar and Stewart are nice arms, but not what is needed, in my opinion. Thielbar is effective and a lefty so obviously that is helpful. I actually thought the bullpen would be better this season. Is there another young left-handed pitcher in the minors with good stuff and good makeup who the Twins could quickly prepare/promote?

    Here is my AL Central poker analogy for 2023: Detroit: fold. Kansas City: fold. Chicago: They raised, we called their raise, they folded. yeah, they are that guy*. Cleveland: still in the game, but has all the body language of a team holding poor cards and ready to fold. Twins: Last team standing, hanging around to collect a small pot. I think if the Twins keep swinging the bats, that they will stay hot, or warm enough, to start putting some distance on Cleveland. The goal at this point is to build a cushion so that those Cleveland series later in the season will not be so pivotal like they were last year. *PS, I suck at poker 🙂

    You are going to have to give them the credit yourself, because I have no clue what their vision is for this franchise. They have made some transactions, some good, some bad, but the pieces don't fit. I don't think they consider themselves fortunate or maybe they aren't even aware that they are playing in the worst division in major league history, and that their only competitor in the division for the foreseeable future lost its two best starting pitchers to elbow injuries. I do expect Twins Daily to organize a parade on the day the Twins clinch the division. 🙂

    If we are describing the Guardians 2022 run as charmed and lucky, then let's be consistent and describe the Twins 2023 season the same way. But the Twins won't really have a stretch run this season. It's been evident for a while now. We are all just drumming our fingers at this point, playing the waiting game, to see who our first round opponent will be and if this is the year we break the streak. Maybe enjoy some baseball in the meantime.

    So now that that’s been written about, we can expect the streak to end in his next start. 🙂

    4pm tomorrow? Then this will (or should) be a story for 22 more hours, max 🙂 a 19/20 round pick or prospect or whoever they are are very nice ballplayers, and will dominate rec leagues for the rest of their lives, but in this context they don’t have much leverage.

    Actually, that Vazquez substitution and subsequent double play is covered in his Excel spreadsheet, just like every other possible situation. It just happens to be way down in cells DU4259-4290. 🙂

    I would think Ryan, Lopez, Ober, Duran, Lewis AND Lee would be enough to land Trout AND Ohtani. Get er done!! 🤣

    It was so much fun watching Maeda last night. The scouting report on Maeda should be: Doesn't throw many fastballs, can have trouble staying in the strike zone with his breaking pitches. A guy to wait out. Yet he got through the first inning by mixing his pitches well and getting strikes, and from that point forward just owned the Mariners lineup. He had them absolutely guessing and looking foolish.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Assuming the inning ends here, Correa could get a leadoff hit/walk in the 9th and turns out Taylor could sac bunt in Juliens' spot

    High off the Grand Canyon wall! And the next day Julien is extradited back to Canada for destroying a national treasure
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I was going to say Jim Mora was the King, but yeah Burnsie had at least one all time great defending Schnelker
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes. haha just kidding 🙂 EDIT: ninja'd by you
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Pinstripes? * leaves quickly *
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Comes with a side of lean bacon, lol
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    are you sure that’s not a fried sea anemone, or something?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think Julien is possessed by the devil (the good devil who does baseball)
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah, we always said, imagine if we ever got the 90-game MVP Buxton for a full season. Another way to look at that, is imagine if all these other players who play full seasons, like Judge, Trout, Betts, whoever, could cherry pick their best 90 games, and then we compare with Buxton's best 90 games?
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'll tell you how I feel, thankyouverymuch 🙂 Maybe the Twins should starting talk about all player injuries the way they talk about Buxton's injury?
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The most likely explanation in my opinion is that Buxton is healthy (if not 100%) and he is waiting to go back out into the field until the very end. I mean, there's some merit in that idea. Back in early May, everyone wanted to talk about how brilliant this move was. Unfortunately but maybe predictably, it has backfired. It could still turn spectacularly in the Twins favor, and I think that's what they are praying for.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok, I'll try again, a little bit more kindly. Here are some valid uses of that information: I would feel better; I would explain it so my kid understands; I would think about going to a game when Buxton is back in the field, and so on
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The information about Buxton must be pretty damning, then. Damning to someone.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Form Rosenthal’s column/chat today: “And the team still plans for Buxton, at some point, to stop DHing exclusively, and play center field.” Context was the upcoming trade deadline, meaning: this season.
