    The lefty didn't enter the game. I said he was warmed and ready if Rocco PH's Wallner or Larnach for Margot.
  2. USAFChief
    Duran time.
  3. USAFChief
    Nit sure it works that way
  4. USAFChief
    A LH pinch hitter would have faced a LH reliever. One was warmed and ready in the pen. For what it's worth
  5. USAFChief
    So many chances to widen this lead.
  6. USAFChief
    Alcala implosion.
  7. USAFChief
    Man this team has trouble driving in runs.
  8. USAFChief
    Lewis is not running well at all
  9. USAFChief
    Rather sparse crowd.
  10. USAFChief
    Rather sparse crowd.

    In any case, let's go Ober!
  12. USAFChief
    I don't think I did. They're 8 deep? They're 2 deep, and plenty of teams have had worse luck with starters than the Twins. This isn't some unforeseeable, incredibly unlucky situation. And not addressing it in the offseason isn't an excuse for not addressing it in-season.
  13. USAFChief
    Need about 7 strong from Ober and a W in game one. Preferably without using any of Alcala, Jax or Duran, who are then available for game 2. Use up a good portion of Cleveland's pen to boot. That's not asking much, is it?
  14. USAFChief
    If only there were some way, some...mechanism, some...strategy whereby the poor Twins could have supplemented their roster in-season. That would have been something. Oh well. Poor, unlucky Twins.
  15. USAFChief
    Not happening.
  16. USAFChief
    False. A player brought up as the 27th man for a doubleheader isn't subject to the normal rules regarding recalls. He could be the 27th man tomorrow, returned the next day, and be recalled at any time. https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/27th-man

    The hitters of past eras would also have grown up, and learned to hit, in a higher velo environment. They'd hit today.
  18. USAFChief
    Lots flamed out. I don't think it's any more than today.
  19. USAFChief
    Grady Sizemore named interim manager.
  20. USAFChief
    Yes.
  21. USAFChief
    More bad injury news.
  22. USAFChief
    I think that's mostly true. I certainly agree teams place much less value on defense today. It also, to me, points out the problems of using WAR as a measure of ability. Belanger has 41 career bWAR.
  23. USAFChief
    He didn't return a top 100 prospect, so yeah, the Twins could have gotten that done, and it wouldn't have taken Lee or Walker. That's not realistic. He didn't even return a top DBacks prospect. Numbers 14 and 30 in their system, by MLB's measure. https://www.mlb.com/news/aj-puk-d-backs-marlins-trade Keep in mind Puk has 2 more years of team control as well.
  24. USAFChief
    I'm going to continue to believe Tony Oliva could hit in 1967 and he could hit in 2024. If he wasn't 80 years old of course.
  25. USAFChief
    I can't read the Athletic article, but the Driveline clearly doesn't state what you claim.
