  1. Speed makes the game pretty fun to watch, and a lot harder for the opponent....
  2. Strange bounces off of the limestone this year...
  3. First career PA is a HR, congrats young man!!
  4. Looks like a RHP coming in for CLE, RP Franco Aleman.
  5. Caratini losing an ABS challenge means the hitters will be less likely to challenge (the pitch to Culpepper was well off the plate)...
  6. Game should be over by 6:10 CT....
  7. No, but you can give him a day off against a tough, same handed pitcher. Detroit didn't start Clark against Messick last Saturday, CLE didn't start Genoa against Bradley last night. It's not a bad thing and shouldn't slow player development.
  8. After the opener it will be another LHP. Messick dominated him last night, so badly the team was forced to have him bunt with a runner on base...
  9. Messick is tough, Jenkins probably should have had the night off last night. Oh yeah, the team sent GG to AAA yesterday....
  10. If you are a results guy (results matter) than yes, he's been very brutal. If you are a metrics guy, his expected stats are pretty good. His BABIP, WHIP, and LOB% could be better, but those are more results driven than expected stats...
  11. Sounds like an opener followed by Cantillo (LHP), at least that's what Provus was stating last night during the broadcast, CLE is pushing Williams back until Monday against CHW.
  12. Minnesota Twins batters sorted by WPA since August 1st (worst at top of list):
  13. And he'll also probably get to 200 Ks. His WHIP isn't bad despite those BBs, and he's only allowed 1 hit tonight.
  14. Messick is a tough lefty, probably not doing Jenkins any favors playing him tonight, but his second PA was much better than his first...
  15. Fan Graphs has him at 38th with 2.1 fWAR.....
  16. Bring him up Monday, bench Larnach, and platoon him and GG the rest of the way. Or start him every day and let GG play 1B or DH (sorry Lewis or Bell, gotta prepare for 2027).
  17. Kremer is Arb 3 eligible for '27, same as Ober, they will get about the same $$$ next season. Kremer has the most fWAR as a pitcher on this team since August 1. Ober has the second most. Tough decisions must be made as a lot of SP that were part of the team's future plans will be coming back from injuries next season. Both may be back, neither may be back. Royce has 2 Arb years left, he has about 3 weeks worth of games left to see if he should be a part of those 2 years. He won't bring back much in a trade, but as part of the right package, another team may take a chance on him. Larnach is replaceable yesterday. He has no trade value, but some team will offer a low A player for him.
  18. Dude, pick it apart all you want, I never stated he was a superstar. He's performed well enough to justify his contract, this team, however, DID NOT NEED a full-time DH (unless Schwarber, Ohtani, or Diaz was that DH)...
  19. There's 12 pages of qualified batters who have appeared as a DH for at least 1 PA, Bell is 10th in fWAR. Can't really sort by wRC+ because there are a lot of guys that have enough qualifying PAs but have only played 1 or 2 games at DH and have a crazy wRC+ as a DH. The point is he has not been horrible as a DH, but this team didn't really need a full-time DH...
  20. Among MLB players who are qualified for the batting title, Bell's DH statistics aren't bad. He's horrible at 1B and this team doesn't really need a full-time DH, but he's been alright as a DH...
