    Rosario misses the cutoff man to let a runner advance. Who woulda thunk it?

    The last time Stewart has come in with the team down was May 19. Since then, always tied or ahead.

    Not sure what to say next.

    Except Acuna probably would have stolen second. But yeah, first base was open. EDIT: You say Ozuna, I say Acuna... That'll teach me not to try reconciling my checkbook while listening to a game.

    Used to watch lots of Atlanta games on the Superstation. Didn't see this live, but it remains one of the greatest calls in the history of broadcasting:

    Also, neither Garcia trade even made honorable mention...
  7. IndianaTwin
    FTFY.

    According to the radio, this is the first game in which Rocco has had a pitcher get an out in the ninth.

    Nice timing. at 1:44 CDT, MLBTR posted an article declaring Ryan the "best deadline rental return in recent history." https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/06/mlb-trade-deadline-twins-joe-ryan-rays-nelson-cruz-rental-return.html EDIT to add: They have Escobar for a package including Duran as No. 4.

    Why would we want to take a chance on someone like Keuchel, when a TJS guy is starting tomorrow and our starters in St. Paul are now Lawyerson (4.60), Varland (just sent down), Enlow (now with one AAA start), Sanchez (5.12), Woods-Richardson (7.47) and Dobnak (5.02)? Seriously, there's no real risk here. As others have noted, minor league contract, lefty, potential to go a couple innings at a time in the bullpen, MVP/CYA votes only three years ago, Boras client. As lottery picks go, it's worth a shot. Also, the Twins have generally pursued character guys, and even if that's all he's got, that's still a good guy to have hanging out with Enlow and friends as a bonus pitching coach. I'm sure there's some learning to be had.

    Betteridge (and thus, probably @ashbury) and I say no.

    People have been comparing Arraez to Lopez in arguing that that was a bad trade. As I see it, the trade is really about, "Have the Twins gained more by having 15 starts of Lopez compared to 15 starts of someone else (which would have been someone like three starts of Ober before he was called up, but then 12 starts of Dobnak/Rodriguez/Sanchez, etc.) or would they have gained more by having 300 plate appearances from Arraez at the expense of 300 at bats from others (some combination of Kirilloff, Solano, Gallo, Larnach, Buxton)? With how Arraez has been hitting, it's probably accurate that the offense would have been better with 300 plate appearances of him compared to those guys. But I think the gain from Dobnak, et al., to Lopez is much more significant than the loss from Arraez to others. All of which to say is that it's never as simple as comparing the players who were traded. Every player has a context. I'd love to have Arraez, but in the context of what the Twins also had, I think he was among the most tradeable chips to fill in a need. (And also, of course, that we're talking about a bit less than a half season. I'm not a betting person, but I will bet anyone on TD a buck that Arraez doesn't finish the year with a .400 batting average or a .940 OPS.)

    Anyone up for a gofundme to buy Applebee's cards for Parf?
  14. IndianaTwin
    I'd rather have pizza than have chicken. I mean, "then."

    I can't see on the radio, but I've never heard Provus go off on the umps as much as he just did.
  16. IndianaTwin
    Think Wong can boink MAT on the head?
  17. IndianaTwin
    Got a Duran-Duran matchup here. Hope Jhoan doesn't come undone.

    Speaking of wallets and money and stuff, I was in a pet store the other day. There was a bird cage there that had a bunch of quarters, dimes and pennies in it for the birds to peck around on. When I asked why there weren't any five-cent pieces, the owner told me it was a nickleless cage.

    Think Snydes knows you're supposed to take the picture out of the frame before you put it in your wallet?
  20. IndianaTwin
    If I would start a gofundme, do you think we could come up with enough to send him to play-by-play school? Or at least get him lessons on how to say someone's name?

    At least we know Rocco won’t pull Gray at less than 100 pitches…
  22. IndianaTwin
    Saints already made their trip to Rochester in April. They’d probably save expenses and do the shuttle from St. Paul… 😃

    Working on my shopping list for tomorrow. Does anyone know if Whole Foods sells half-and-half?
  24. IndianaTwin
    What? Who?

    I don't follow the minors that closely -- just remembered that Salas was somewhere on the TD rankings (12, as it turns out). Byron Chourio is the other. Mainly just noting that it wasn't a one-for-one. (Also, have you been hanging out with my dad? He was often offering to bet a nickel as well. Haven't heard that phrase for a while. Timely, coming two days after Father's Day.)
