    I’ll be holding down Section 309 tonight. Sorry for the late start, folks. For a moment, I thought Terry Ryan was going to mention each fan in attendance with his thank yous.

    If Zebby starts Tuesday, they don’t need Varland on Wednesday or Friday. Ober Wednesday, followed by SWR, Festa, Lopez, Zebby has everyone on regular rest. However, if they want to give everyone an extra day, they could slot Varland in on Wednesday as you suggest, but that would be choosing Varland over Ober. More likely, Ober would still go on Wednesday and Varland on Thursday.

    Zebby on Tuesday seems the most likely option. They do (and could still) have a nine-man bullpen through then, which does make a bullpen a more viable option, depending on the usage until then.

    Looking at the bullpen usage chart, I’m not sure that anyone is truly not available tonight. That’s pretty amazing coming off a doubleheader.

    Varland was the 27th man. He goes down after the game.

    Bullpen sans Jax and Duran, 13 up, 13 down.

    For the bullpen, sans Jax and Duran, 13 up and 14 down.

    Great game to be at!
  9. IndianaTwin
    Yes. (As Chief said.)

    I like Castro. But he seems like Arraez-style trade bait. If he nets a López-like starter in a budget-neutral trade, go for it.

    Blonde lifeguards?

    I’m guessing he coughed. And then his head hurt.

    MSP airport restaurant has Olympics on one screen. One of my favorite parts of watching the Olympics is all the anthems. I love country music.

    If you’ve only got two weeks, you might want to make the call now.

    Hopefully they can coordinate the delivery with when the cable installer shows up.

    Sorry, I stayed at a Hampton Inn last right rather than a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I’ll trust people who have actual access to a medical report.

    Three consecutive days off for Buxton is not “routine day off.” But sure, let’s go ahead and put Buxton on the IL so we can have Eduourd Julien available today when Buxton is expected back by Friday for the Cleveland series.
  18. IndianaTwin
    Why.
  19. IndianaTwin
    One of the classics.

    You’ve obviously not been to a Thanksgiving dinner when Mrs. IT made the pumpkin pie. (It’s actually made from squash, but it’s the recipe from Mama IT, and she called it “pumpkin.”)

    You can be happy if you’ve a mind to it. (Sorry, I’m a bit late on the response. I got shut out while fishing in a watermelon patch.)

    A major part of how they’ve kept him on the field was the offseason surgery cleaning up his knee.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Careful. Such kind comments about Vazquez could get you banned from these threads. 😄
  24. IndianaTwin
    Do you mean the one in 2016 or the one in 1982. Or are you including the Senators as well? But overall I agree, two of them in 60+ years is more than enough.

    I think it's a matter of degrees. Should a GM refuse to trade an asset to Team A offers a deal that is 50 percent (as if you can measure that) better than Team B, because Team A is in the division? I'm with you and others -- that would be a dumb decision by the GM. But what if it was only 40 percent better? 30 percent? 10 percent? 1 percent? There may be a number where it makes sense to consider the division component. I don't know what that number is, but no GM is going to publish it. So I think it's plausible that the Sox asked for more from the Twins for Fedde than they asked from teams outside the division. But I haven't seen anyone reference the corollary, which is that it's also plausible that the Twins would offer less to the White Sox than they would to a team outside the division, for fear of having the prospect bite them more frequently in future years. And again, that's a matter of degrees, but given that the Twins would be offering young, controllable talent, it's frankly a bigger issue for the Twins than it is for the Sox. The Twins could get bit for six years (or 12 or more if it's multiple prospects), whereas the White Sox only have to worry about one more year on Fedde. In Falvey's case (and any GM, for that matter), he's going to name that the other team was asking too much because they were in the division, but he's not going to highlight that they would only offer less for the same reason.
