    Sorry but WAR is old news. I only care how many mph a baseball is hit. Can we tie that in? I don't care what direction the ball goes in. Just how hard they hit it. Bonus points if they tear off their jersey and flex afterward.

    Never give up, kids.

    Gordon looked awful at first too. Hopefully he'll get better.

    Team leader in AVG and OPS!

    Eh, with 70-person bullpens and few games over 10 innings nowadays, you don't really need long relievers. Even with yesterday's start in consideration.

    Ah, the Martin/Castro/Hellman OF we all predicted in April.

    The Twins website posts almost daily updates on this exact topic. https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twins-injuries-and-roster-moves

    This team always follows a terrible game with a win. This team always comes back in the late innings, even if they end up losing. This team has resilience.

    Roughly 120 pitches in the whole game from the Twins. Good stuff.

    Oh, I didn't say I'd rather see Thielbar. Just surprised. With 2 outs, it was a classic LOOGY scenario.
  11. Shaitan
    3 batters, 11 pitches so far. Duran is so much more effective when he's efficient.
  12. Shaitan
    Which I suppose he'll get when Lee is back. Lee isn't going to AAA in September.
  13. Shaitan
    Maybe Royce needs a day off instead of extra time learning another new position.

    Is Varsho a switch hitter. Kinda surprised they went with Jax if he's strictly LH. Obviously a good call.
  15. Shaitan
    I suspect MLB likes it. The moves generate buzz, just like the trade deadline. And the players who are cut end up in a less toxic environment (presumably). That said, I don't like it either. It feels unsportsmanlike, for lack of a better word.

    lol All of those pitchers had agents.

    Before the season I thought he profiled for Gordon's roster role. Still seems that way now. Backup OF/emergency IF. That's a valuable player. Hopefully he can push to be a starter because that means he's doing even better than expected.
  18. Shaitan
    What else do I think? Please tell me.
  19. Shaitan
    Didn't see that one coming. Not surprised (re: Okert's performance). But nobody else really seems to be pushing for the roster spot either. As I said elsewhere, I think the Okert/Gordon trade was fair. This maybe continues to prove that point. Trading borderline roster players for a better positional fit is a good move, even if it doesn't work in the end.
  20. Shaitan
    I like how you hit both sides with this.

    Manfred's gonna Manfred, I guess. The game has sorted out its issues for 100 years without silly new restrictions. Why add them now? All it does it add more complexity and new loopholes. If they want more IP from starters, then don't enforce how many arms are on the roster. Some maverick might try a smaller staff again some day when the winds change.
  22. Shaitan
    I think it depends how they use the DH. If they keep a 3-4 player rotation between 1B/DH I'm open to it. But I doubt he'll want less money after a good season, not to mention less playing time. Everybody will likely come out happier if they simply go their separate ways, unless Santana is seriously thinking about retirement and the change to more of a part-time role. Personally, I think it's still too early to tell. At his age, performance can fall off a cliff fast. No reason to fret about this until January. If they wait too long, so be it. There are other players at similar cost for what he does.
  23. Shaitan
    Is this frustrating, yes? But the record is better than 2023 and we don't have Sonny Gray whining every 3rd day. Stay positive, folks. It's a long season.
  24. Shaitan
    I'll still take Okert for 162 over Gordon. #notsayingmuch
  25. Shaitan
    Maybe it's the subtle point here but maybe nobody is the Twins' MVP? Maybe baseball is a team sport
