    At least he knows what hotel to stay at in Anaheim!

    KLaw Chat: ndrah 1:10 some talk about the twins calling up one or two of their top pitching prospects this fall. Do you think Graterol could contribute? Keith Law 1:10 Maybe in relief? Ben 1:17 Is Luis Arraez a potential GUY? The Twins' coaching staff just gushes about him but he looks kind of like a slap hitter with limited upside. He also seems to have taken Schoop's job. Keith Law 1:17 I think a good utility guy. Oscar 1:32 Is it time to accept that Buxton's body is just not going to cooperate with him? I love seeing him play, but it saddens me to think that injuries are going to rob him of the opportunity to do so. Keith Law 1:32 No. Ted 1:44 You were on Balazovic as a stud pretty early. What are your thoughts on Jhoan Duran? Keith Law 1:44 That one 'splinker' pitch he throws is legit. I hear some starter, some reliever; depends on whether you think that one pitch is enough of a carrying tool to let him turn a lineup over 3x. Mike 1:46 Brudsar graterol - solid number 2 in his prime? Keith Law 1:46 Uh, no. No. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/klawchat-8-8-19-5784.html

    Back in my day Pizza Huts were dine-in restaurants that offered lunch buffets! This will no longer be the case. And let's be honest, Pizza Hut Express is terrible. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-lifestyle/pizza-hut-set-to-close-500-dine-in-locations-nationwide

    A thread to discuss the ever changing world...

    Here's a Fangraphs post discussing Danny Santana's breakout in more detail! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-unexpected-danny-santana-breakout/

    Nelson Cruz can't stop, won't stop. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/nelson-cruz-wont-stop/

    Everything you typed makes perfect sense to me. When the 2019 season is over, how can we reasonably predict the offense will be on a historic pace again?
  8. Vanimal46
    His batting average was .328 (!!) During his Cardinals tenure. Trout gets a lot of love, deservedly so, but I think we forget how amazing Pujols was too.
  9. Vanimal46
    Not a Twins stat... Still amazing though. Albert Pujols is at risk of his career batting average falling below .300 at the end of the season. The last time his career average was below .300? The 4th game of his rookie season in 2001.

    I blame the manager for the reckless and DANGEROUS decision to have him pitch the same day he took a 2 hour 40 minute flight. No human being on Earth can handle those conditions. I also blame the person who sat next to Dyson on the plane. Clearly they bumped his arm during turbulence and it's wrecking his tenure with his new team. #HawtTaeks
  11. Vanimal46
    It's a beautiful thing when you have the power to move the goal posts one year into the future every year... Don't worry gunnarthor, 2020 is the year they'll make a big splash! If not, 2021 is definitely the year!
  12. Vanimal46
    He's done. Barely #5 starter material since June 1. I'm not sure I want him in the bullpen either if the cutter isn't working.
  13. Vanimal46
    3 things that are guaranteed in life... Death, taxes, and Brad Radke giving up a 1st inning HR.
  14. Vanimal46
    If there are people expecting him to throw close to 150 innings one year after throwing maybe 60 innings? You're also going to be disappointed.
  15. Vanimal46
    There's a little thing called an injury rehab assignment that he's not done with yet.
  16. Vanimal46
    Sure I remember him. He'll most likely get a 20-30 PA look in September to see if he can take Schoop's spot on the playoff roster. Doesn't mean I would get rid of Schoop today, which is what jaimedude posted.
  17. Vanimal46
    I would personally rather have Schoop on the bench as insurance over a complete unknown like Gordon at this point. I posted in the Schoop odd man out thread he filled the role we needed from him this year. Which is being a placeholder until someone else hit their way into the equation. I have no issue with him being a bench guy now until the rosters expand. I'll be surprised if he starts more than 25% of the remaining regular season games.
  18. Vanimal46
    Who knows, they could be rotating long snappers and holders. It still would be nice not to have to worry about kickers... But, you know, it's the Vikings.
  19. Vanimal46
    Dan Bailey in mid season form!
  20. Vanimal46
    And what's your plan if Arraez starts to slump? There's no one kicking down doors in AAA to take his spot.
  21. Vanimal46
    New Fangraphs post that discusses how AAA teams are trying to adjust to the MLB (juiced) baseball. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/when-every-park-is-a-bandbox-how-teams-are-adapting-to-the-new-ball/
  22. Vanimal46
    No one's a better mop than Kohl Stewart...
  23. Vanimal46
    Why? There is literally no harm to have him on roster until rosters expand.
  24. Vanimal46
    A blessing in disguise? If you believe he's a top of the rotation starter (I don't) this is no blessing. It'll be another year or 2 before he could ramp up to a respectable starter work load.
  25. Vanimal46
    Does anyone still think the Mets don't know what they're doing? Seems like Brodie had the best trade deadline of all GMs...
