    I guess it wasn’t fake. SWR up as well. Alcala to St Paul

    Polanco activated. Julien sent down. Edit: I think I was fooled by a fake Twitter account. Don’t see it officially reported by the usual team of Do, Gleeman, Betsy, and Dan Hayes.

    What would change putting Maeda in the pen? The dude is throwing 88. That’s not going to play anywhere in modern baseball.

    I think they’ll keep Nashville open as the expansion city when they add 2 more teams to the league. Is Montreal ready to support an MLB team full time again? Charlotte?

    There was ample time and opportunity to get something done in Oakland. I’m glad there is finally pressure being put on the organization to get out of that absolute dump of a stadium. Tampa Bay, you’re on the clock.

    The LH vs LH matchup should have been thrown out of consideration when Moran couldn’t throw strikes. Then it should be ineffective vs. potentially effective to get the last out and live to fight for another inning.
  8. Vanimal46
    Baffling that Moran continued to pitch after Refsnyder grounded into the double play. He clearly didn’t have it tonight and Pagan was warming (warmed?) in the pen. 4 hits in 10 innings isn’t going to cut it. Neither is 3 errors in the field. The walk off is classic Fenway shenanigans.

    This is excellent news! Lopez, Paddack, and Ryan locked in for multiple years with an extended MLB track record. Ober, Varland, SWR, and others waiting in the wings.

    On last week’s review, I said this week was a big barometer test for the team. They passed the test thanks to excellent pitching, the White Sox’ shockingly bad fielding, and just enough hitting most games. What we’re seeing right now reminds me of May 2022. A month also anchored by excellent pitching and just enough hitting most games. We’ve got the arms this year for that to not fall apart. I’m still paranoid if we can hit more consistently. It would really ease my concerns to see a week of 7+ run games from the Twins.

    We all know birds aren’t real. Maybe they’ll fix that in version 2023.2.

    We’re all just living in a simulation, man.

    The sound of the baseball hitting Farmer square in the jaw is nightmare fuel. Giolito was visibly shaken once he saw where it was going. Good luck to Farmer in his recovery.
  14. Vanimal46
    That didn’t answer my question but thanks though.

    The guys that are playing every game so far, they are likely the stars on their teams, no? I’m curious. Our stars require a mandatory sit day every 4-5 games.

    I dislike the Buxton plan very much. It’s only robbing the team and the fans of the immense value he provides at a premium position. Take advantage of the rare time when Buxton is healthy and play him in the field. There is nothing indicating that he’s injured right now. The current strategy is becoming borderline preposterous. Yesterday as a prime example… They would rather change 3 players’ positions and eliminate the DH vs. having him play 1 inning in the field.

    Two old friends in one update

    Big barometer test coming up this week. I am thrilled to see the starting staff pitch so well. Rocco, it turns out, does know how to manage a staff when he has talent to work with. Correa has a long enough track record to not be concerned about the slow start. However, I am concerned about potential sophomore slumps with Gordon and Miranda. Can we please start easing Buxton into CF again? Even with the hot start, he’s only the 8th ranked DH for fWAR and wrc+. It’s a shame we’re only seeing a fraction of the value he can provide for the team.

    Tom is never going to accomplish the illustrious 9-9-9 challenge (9 hot dogs, 9 beers, 9 innings) now that games are 2.5 hours!
  20. Vanimal46
    I’ve been withholding judgment on this team until I see them against the better teams like Houston and NYY. We shall see. I don’t have the warm and fuzzies about the Twins. Especially when it comes to the offense.
  21. Vanimal46
    The real challenge begins. Astros, White Sox, and Yankees next.
  22. Vanimal46
    Very pleasant start to the season. The real MVP is the pitch clock. Every game under 2 hours 45 minutes. You love to see it. It’s very evident we have moved away from the HR or bust team and officially back to pitching and defense. Hopefully the pitching keeps up against the tough opponents coming up this month.

    Things just didn’t click for Javier in the minor leagues.
  24. Vanimal46
    The pitch clock is the best rule MLB has implemented in a very long time. This exact game would have been 3 hours 15 min+ last year. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to have to win a lot of low scoring ballgames this year…

    I’m shocked that Cole Sands is likely to make the opening day roster. He’s been pretty bad all of spring training.
