  1. Megill is oh-so-close to being a real pen weapon. Just a little more command, and he's gonna be a nice find. He's already pretty decent. And winnah.
  2. Nobody is signing anyone, or not signing anyone, based on WAR.
  3. I'm going to question how Mahle was allowed to even start this game, much less pitch into the 3rd inning. Velocity off by that much isn't something that can be benignly explained. And it had to have showed up during his warmup. If not then, which I don't understand, at least by the 1st hitter. For an organization that treats players with extreme caution, no less. That seems pretty negligent to me.
  4. Worse than that...2 on, no out, 3-4-5 hitters due up.
  5. Y'know, Mrs Chief is forever calling me immature. Well, I've had it with that. So I banned her from my fort.
  6. I share a middle name with John, Winnie, and Attila. Chief The IncredibleJokeTeller
  7. Well anything's possible. Except Judge or Turner signing with the Twins.
  8. The only way any of these players are with the Twins next year is if Correa opts in. And that's unlikely. At best. Not impossible, but unlikely.
  9. Late in a tie game, or down by 1? I guarantee you David Ortiz would be trying to pull the ball and hit behind the runner. Agree on sac bunts, although again, late in a close game things may change. That's not really about Pagan, I guess. Sorry. Terrible trade, I suspect he's back next year too. I have a hard time blaming Rocco too much for Pagan. He didn't make that trade, and every reliever is going to pitch in close games. No way around it, even IF the Twins hadn't decided to limit starters exposure.
  10. Season. Over. //relax. It's an old BYTO thing
  11. Turns out Friday morning wasn't the low point after all. https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/58278-the-2022-twins-are-at-a-low-point/#comment-1178118
  12. Gladden: "(Sierra) has pretty good route."
  13. Meanwhile, Archer still needs to be replaced in the rotation.
  14. Oh, I gotcha now. Graham Mertz.
  15. Jalen Hurts? Ryan Fitzpatrick? Josh Allen?
  16. Too much fun? There is no such thing, my child.
  17. He angles back, toward the corner. He intercepts the ball after one or two hops. I'm not going to argue any longer, but you're wrong. For same reason an infielder doesn't always travel perpendicular to the path of a ground ball. A SS for example, angles a little toward CF rather than 90 degrees from a ground ball's path to cut off a grounder up the middle. If he's going to attempt to catch it, yes. Direct path to ball flight. But you have to be 100 percent sure you can catch it. Otherwise, tie game for sure, and maybe worse. Not 100 percent? Cut the ball, 3-2, live to see another hitter with the lead.
