    Checking in from EDT, concur.

    As others have noted, it's 11. But to your question: Last year, when the Yankees had 12.
  3. IndianaTwin
    And there's No. 11 to hit No. 10 on the year.

    I would pencil in Sept. 29. That will tell us a lot about the standings on Sept. 30 as well. (Sorry, it's the end of a long work day and junking a car that my son wrecked, so I'm a little snarkier than normal.) But yes, those are a couple of helpful reads on how the schedule shapes up in the weeks to come. Thanks for summarizing.

    I'll admit it. I was banging the drum for David Robertson. He of the 6.2 innings and 5.40 ERA and the 3/$35MM Robertsons.

    Any team can come off Greinke's no-trade list at the right price for an extension. I'm not sure I'm interested in that price.

    If that was indeed the case, that might have also contributed to his enthusiastic response this weekend. Perhaps internally he was saying, "I made the wrong choice last winter, but now I get a chance for a do-over."

    I'm not a big fan of trying to declare a winner on trades as if it's a zero-sum game. I think the best trades are the ones that help both teams. Contextually, I think the trade could well help the Twins this year (i.e., Romo does well this year), and I hope it does. Contextually, the trade could well help the Marlins down the road (i.e., Diaz becomes a good player), and I hope it does. When you approach trade negotiations with the genuine intent of helping the other team as well as helping yourself, you increase the likelihood of finding a willing partner when you call them back next time.

    Romo being able to spend the off day with teammates will also be a benefit. I’m guessing he’ll be eating with and sharing a row on the plane with either Johnson, Garver, or Castro, for example.

    I loved his quotes in this article. If this is anywhere close to genuine, that's exactly the kind of attitude I want on the team. So if he wants to come and meet the new teammates, a thousand bucks for a round-trip ticket and a taxi is well worth paying. https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/sergio-romo-joins-twins-for-finale-vs-white-sox

    (Stringer Bell, this isn't a response directly to you. I was just starting to type something like the following when yours popped up and yours is similar to what a number of others have expressed.) Yet, Romo is 17 of 18 in save opportunities this year and Rogers is 15 of 20. Romo also has more experience as a closer over his career. Rocco has also shown a willingness to use his best reliever in high leverage situations. Romo is also a righty, which many teams seem to prefer as the closer. All that to say, I won't be surprised if Romo slides in to something closer to the traditional closer role, with Rogers slipping back to the guy who gets used in the high-leverage situation. Not saying I agree or disagree with that approach, just saying it could well happen. (And frankly, that's a debate for only three more games, because there will be someone else on board by Thursday to change the conversation. Over the last two years, Falvey and Levine have made more than an average number of July trades. There's no reason to think that won't happen again.) (Frankly, part 2: To some extent, this is a typical Falvey/Levine trade. They haven't made "big splash moves," but rather "nudge the needle" moves. Last year it was "get rid of impending free agents." This one is a "get rid of 40-man question marks" move.)

    Yes, Shmegheghi, great first post. With the bonus of showing us what looks like a cool baseball-reference.com tool that I wasn’t aware of.

    The Rod Carew Game — June 26, 1977. With a first-person account here, including Stew Thornley’s climbing of the flag pole: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/26496-game-thread-twins-indians-62517-1210-cdt/

    So, with 62 games to hit those 76, they just have to homer at 199 hr/season pace the rest of the year. And yeah, those late 7:10 Central starts stink when you are in the Eastern time zone, even when they don’t last five hours. I have to put up with that too.
  15. IndianaTwin
    I’m thinking it may take the Game Recap folks a couple extra minutes on this one...
  16. IndianaTwin
    No, but the guy who does is so far in last he’s not going to care. In fact, Chapman’s saves are the only thing keeping him from being in last in all eight categories.

    Just letting y’all know that as the proud owner of Zach Britton in the Northern Indiana Rotisserie League, I am extremely glad to take one (two) for the team.
  18. IndianaTwin
    FROSTY THE SANO-MAN!!!!!!!!!
  19. IndianaTwin
    Provis quoting George Bamberger earlier in the game: Those triple plays will take you right out of the inning.
  20. IndianaTwin
    On the bright side, we could have traded for Homer Bailey...
  21. IndianaTwin
    Yeah, but it didn't take us as long to get 7 runs. :-)
  22. IndianaTwin
    Old enough for magnesium citrate, but still a few strokes under Paar.
  23. IndianaTwin
    That’s it! Cleveland had its 22-game winning streak a couple years ago. This year it’s our turn.
  24. IndianaTwin
    I kid you not — I’m watching the MLB At-Bat free preview on my cable system. They signed off immediately and now Emeril is cooking chicken on some air bake infomercial.
  25. IndianaTwin
    Unfortunately, after the last couple of days, I didn’t have any chicken thawed. It’s gonna take me a while.
