    2. Pale Hose are deeply in the cellar. They've had three 14-game losing streaks in their entire history. Two have been in the last nine weeks. On pace for 122 losses. Couldn't happen to a better team.

    Kirilloff went on the 10-day IL on June 13, and we haven’t had any update. I’m guessing he could easily slide to the 60-day.

    They have Lopez, Ryan, Ober, SWR and Paddack all under contract for 2025, followed by Varland, Festa, Zebby and other people I'm not thinking of. They also have guys increasing in cost (Lopez, Correa, arbitration folks). Though it's been their past MO, I don't see them prioritizing years of control in any acquisitions this year. It makes more sense to pay much less and get a pure half-season rental (Kikuchi, etc.).

    The Giants and Mets probably were right, in that signing a 28-year-old to 12 years or more isn't a good idea (though they shouldn't have offered him that in the first place). But that doesn't mean the Twins weren't right in offering him six years.
  5. IndianaTwin
    Ober did have 167 innings pitched last year, including the minors. He's on pace for 169.

    Shoes are most definitely not just shoes. They make a difference. Ask Cliff.

    Cleveland has four regular position players with an OPS+ below Eduard Julien. Their rotation has three starters with an ERA+ below Chris Paddack. It's their bullpen that's been lights out and carrying them. On the left are the innings pitched by Cleveland's bullpen guys. The Twins are on the right. Three Cleveland guys are on pace for 74+ innings, with three more close behind. This looks like injuries (or loss of effectiveness) waiting to happen.

    Alex Kirilloff went on the 10-day IL June 13. With not having heard updates and it being a back injury, it doesn’t seem impossible to think of him moving to the 60-day.

    On the bright side, Vazquez needing to play third pushed Lee to second. Not sure that Julien would have made the plays at second that Lee did.

    Nice. As a kid, I also started following the Twins in 1973 on WHO, which also led me to think that Jim Holt was better than he probably actually was.

    Maybe they could do that thing NL managers used to do when they were stuck using a pitcher as a position players. Alternate Lee and Jeffers between 2nd and 3rd depending on whether a lefty or a righty is at the plate.
  12. IndianaTwin
    And even if they don't know the lineup, I think a lot of managers (including Rocco, if I remember reading correctly) communicate a tentative word to a regular after a game about having the next day off or to a bench player that they will likely be in the lineup.
  13. IndianaTwin
    How 'bout that convincing lineup?

    Tonight's my Golden Anniversary. In the big scheme of things, the Tigers beating the Royals 8-2 on July 13, 1974, had no real impact on the standings, and there were no particularly noteworthy individual performances. But I was sitting at Royal Stadium in Section 119, Row JJ, Seat 4, taking in my first-ever Major League Baseball game, so it was a game of epic proportions.

    I'll gladly trade two outs for a run.

    Huh? Are you saying Kepler's parents were actual ballet dancers? Who knew?
  17. IndianaTwin
    Not sure why I haven't thought of this before, but I wonder if players from the 1960s experienced PTSD today when they looked at the online schedule and saw "Gibson" listed as the starter for St. Louis.

    Hadn’t been used in a week.

    As a regular listener, I really miss having Corey on the radio.

    Germans. Pearl Harbor. Etc.

    Speaking of green, my pet chameleon won’t change colors. It has a reptile dysfunction.

    Wish their shortstop wouldn’t have positioned himself so Wisely on that liner by Buxton.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Sorry — I only make jokes about red, blue and yellow. They’re more basic.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Late scratch because of his back. EDIT: Ninja’ed twice. But clearly Miranda should have been spending more time on cHawk’s recliner.

    Did I mention that Mrs. IT and I went to Alaska on vacation. Brought home some salmon, but I couldn’t open the package. Had to call a loxsmith.
