    Yeah, that's the danger of sneaking in a comment during a break from work. 😄 You are, of course, correct. I meant to say, "...deplete themselves further for the rest of the year." But I do think there's an element of truth here. If Cleveland bails, that makes it less important to tweak for the rest of the season. And given the random nature of the playoffs, I'm always less about trying to tweak for the playoffs than I am for getting there.

    If we're talking "Perfect 2023 Trade Deadline," let's add the Twins going at least 3-2 the rest of the week and Cleveland going no better than 2-4. That puts Cleveland four games under .500 and 5.5 games back and hopefully makes them fully enter "sell" mode, depleting themselves a little further for future years.

    I was on the radio -- was the game-winner catchable?

    Ftfy.

    Listening to Jeffers with the post-game radio interview, I was glad to hear Jeffers use the word "plethora." It means a lot.

    That looks pretty phenomenal, but I can't go to Seattle without loading up on chowder.

    Remember folks, if you're going out for the celebratory Blizzard, Dove chocolate tastes better than their soap.

    Seems like an easy "yes."

    April 2022 would be a bonus.

    How do you figure? Going into tonight, they are 42-0 when leading after eight.
  11. IndianaTwin
    Phooey.

    It has a chance to get late early for Cleveland. If we hang on here, it's a 4.0 game lead. Bieber now on the 60-day, Quantrill still out a couple days. Rotation down to Civale, Williams, Bibee, Allen and an Opener. Lineup not strong. If the Twins take care of business and go 4-2 or better this week and Cleveland loses another game or so in the standings by then, they very easily could be moving to seller mode. Even if they think they are still in it by being within five games or so, to be sitting at several games under .500 at that point makes it awfully hard to try going for it with the number of holes they have.

    Wagner graduated from the next high school over from us.

    My third favorite team*, Kansas City, has just won. *Third favorite team being whoever is playing Cleveland. Second favorite is whoever is playing the White Sox.

    No, Tomorrow. Who's on first.

    I regularly get to listen to Pat Hughes, deservedly honored in Cooperstown this weekend. It's easy to hear Hughes coming through in Provus. Provus was blessed to get to work alongside Hughes in Chicago.

    Getting recalled? I keep getting the letter about the airbags on my 2004 Accord needing to be replaced.

    It only seemed like it lasted into the night.

    I'm not concerned about identifying a "No. 1" starter. I've been saying all season that they have five guys who can pitch or have pitched "like a No. 1" for an extended period of time. That's better than having a clear 1-2-3-4-5.

    Uh, why not just re-sign Sano? I mean, like Mountcastle, he's a right-handed hitter who can only play 1B. Mountcastle only strikes 171 times per 162 games, whereas Sano is much higher, but Sano has a higher OPS+ and more HRs per 162. Said more succinctly, "No, thanks." (And like others, I don't think Baltimore's likely to be trading him.)

    Correlation doesn't equal causation, but it's been reported that Larnach will be activated on Monday, with Buxton to the paternity list. Perhaps the Twins got word the birth was impending.

    From: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-draft-2023-bonus-pools-pick-values; Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, teams lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.

    Because it's still at least a couple weeks out. Plenty of things will change by then.

    It’s the Vulture role. He’s gotten two of his four wins that way. I haven’t seen anyone make reference to this, but this week he also got one via the rarely used “brief, but ineffective” clause.

    I’ve been convinced for a while that the Twins are the only team in the division with the talent to be able to pull away from the others.
