    Less than an hour before first pitch, and no corresponding move announced and no lineup posted. This is not normal.

    Rays now at 43-19 on June 6, a 112-win pace, as they get ready to host the Twins.

    Have fun! Game is 90 minutes away and Twins haven’t posted their lineup yet. I bet they can’t decide who to send to the IL list.

    No one is going to mention Late Night LaMonte in this thread?? 🙂

    I tend to agree about Correa, but disagree about the everyday player being traded for a good pitcher not making sense. Sometimes it does make sense. However, in this case I think people were overappraising Lopez and underestimating Arraez, I definitely agree with that. We see the front office do a move, and we want the move to work out, obviously, and we try to make sense of it, so we call Lopez a borderline ace, we call Salas a top prospect, and we call Arraez a huge risk with bad knees not likely to continue hitting, and we say we are selling high on him, even though I don’t think most people really believed that. In general terms, trading a middle infielder for a starting pitcher can be a good thing to do, if the right players are involved. but anyway.

    Then I’m not sure why Falvine hasn’t accepted the Yankees offer.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Don’t the Yankees have that one guy, currently playing in right? …his name is on the tip of my tongue… 🙂

    The best Mientkiewicz story is the 2004 World Series ball, which he caught for the final out, and kept for more than a year. Mientkiewicz said he was mad that the Red Sox didn't ask for it back, and then he said he was mad because the Red Sox sued him for it, and they sued him when he was trying to clean up during the aftermath of a hurricane. Then when the Twins fired him, he said it was nasty that they fired him him while he was cleaning up in the aftermath of a hurricane! "Aftermath of a Hurricane" is kind of a running theme with Doug Mientkiewicz. 🙂

    A very nice start, a so-so middle, and ending with a loss and your most important players watching from the bench. Kind of like the whole 2022 season too, come to think of it.

    Today would have been the day Carlos Correa was eligible to come off the IL, if he had gone on the IL right away.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What are the chances if Kepler comes through here??
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Or at least a little stitious

    Welp, Sonny Gray wants to pitch deeper into games, I take Sonny Gray’s side, and… ? btw Rocco not in the dugout?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    And the pickoff involves the pitcher stepping off, catching the runner off the base, and running at the runner and tagging him out without having to make a throw? 🤣

    Sorry I just missed it typing reply to @Squirrel !

    Actually there have been hints but we can do that in another thread.

    This is a fascinating topic to me (Sorry to hijack the game thread), and I would bet no, A.J. did not have that reputation here. My guess is it's one thing when a young "cancer" is brought into an organization and comes up through the ranks and plays their entire career here. They are a part of the club and they have a chance to adapt and survive, and the club can adapt to that individual. They might be an SOB, but "they are our SOB". Think AJ, or think Lance Lynn with the Cardinals. Part of the culture and character of the clubhouse. On the other hand, it's another thing, when one of these folks leaves their home organization and goes to a new one. All bets are off. Think when Lance Lynn came here. I am by no means calling Carlos Correa a cancer - he is not - but he certainly has a strong personality that isn't going to be to everyone's taste. In Houston, it's easier for Correa to be himself and be part of the family and assume the role of leader in an organization he has spent his whole career with. In a new organization, like the Twins, individuals will need to make some adjustments or there will be conflict.

    Should the Twins end the Buxton DH experiment? The front office will have to run that idea past Carlos Correa https://www.mlb.com/news/carlos-correa-convinced-byron-buxton-to-be-twins-dh

    For his next trick, Royce Lewis will take a 200 million dollar pile of money, light it on fire, and make it magically reappear
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Imagine where the Twins would be if the front office optioned Lewis to AAA for one more week! yay Pitchforks!!

    Yup, could be Triston McKenzie’s season debut— Guardians are getting their #2 starter back.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Thanks for bringing those comments in, @Mike Sixel

    Confession: I and I alone possess the proprietary data for how many pitches a pitcher can throw — the inflection point for every single starter in the league before they risk injury is exactly 100.0 pitches!!

    Provus and Atteberry wanted to see Varland come out for the 8th.
