    I say again "In play, run(s)" please.

    One of my pet peaves. They aren't.

    "In play, run(s)" if you please.

    Me every time the bullpen door opens:
  6. USAFChief
    Pfft. They only carried TEN pitchers. We have THIRTEEN! FOURTEEN for two months! NOW who "has the pitching??"" Hmmmm???
  7. USAFChief
    I'm hoping they're the 69 Mets.
  8. USAFChief
    Holy cow Celestino you about gave me a heart attack.
  9. USAFChief
    Yes, it could. You can't manage afraid.
  10. USAFChief
    I'm OK with Ryan coming out. Better a couple hitters too early than watching Molitor trudge to the mound 3 runs too late.

    I don't know how to make this clearer...as I stated at the time of the trade, a team serious about contending doesn't make this trade. Clearly, they don't sign Correa and trade for Gray if they aren't planning on contending. So it was a CLEAR mistake to then turn around and on the eve of opening day trade your best bullpen piece. Particularly when their PLAN for starting pitching was to limit their exposure. They PLANNED on 3, 4 or 5 relievers pretty much every night. With that, I'm out. The trade was poorly conceived, poorly executed, and surprise surprise, the results speak for themselves. We're here hanging on for dear life with a weak and thin pen, starters who can't go past 5 or 6 IP at best, Pagan a train wreck and Paddack rehabbing. They'll need to spend significant prospect capital to have any chance at bolstering the pitching, if they even can. Moronic trade. No amount of lipstick can change the look of this pig.

    Obligatory

    I'm told RBI are meaningless.

    Rogers wasn't signed past 2022 and didn't need to be. The Twins didn't "free up money" as you claimed. They freed up nothing for the future, and even tied up money this season. Rogers is the same free agent this winter no matter the trade. And the Paddack injury was bad luck...and a bad gamble. His elbow issues weren't unknown. The Mets turned down a trade earlier in the spring because of that very issue. And it seems likely San Diego made him available at least in part due to concern over his elbow. Which is all just additional reasons not to trade. The primary being it was stupid to reduce an already weak and thin pen if you planned on contending.

    Bad luck??
  16. USAFChief
    Up AND down??

    Explain to me how the Twins "free up future money to sign other players." They didn't free up any money. Rogers wasn't signed past this year. If they did ANYTHING money wise, they limited their options now since they operate on a budget and theyre currently paying Paddack, Pagan, AND Rogers. In fact, they'll spend 2023 money on Paddack without having any idea if he'll pitch well, or at all. Keeping Pagan will cost as well, if they so choose. If they keep Rogers they're not obligated to pay ANY of those three in 2023. This simply wasn't a trade a team serious about contending makes. Ill conceived. You can't take the best piece out of your bullpen. "Saving money" not only didn't happen, it actually cost them money.

    Tellez 55.
  19. USAFChief
    Mid July and only 2 Twins even in the 40s. It's HR or nothing.
  20. USAFChief
    We don't have anyone on this team that can knock in runs.
  21. USAFChief
    Infield single. Followed, of course, by bad pick off putting him on second for the RBI single.
  22. USAFChief
    Could fall to 35 games over .500!
  23. USAFChief
    Max Fried. 18 starts, 17 of em a minimum of 6 IP.
  24. USAFChief
    Can also be released.
  25. USAFChief
    Seems like an opportunity to win some wagers.
