  1. An overlooked but all too relevant point to keep in mind. Fingers crossed I guess.
  2. Nice to see Lopez continue to bleed baserunners. Consistency is the key. That extra year of control is just great #value...
  3. Pagan came in and immediately surrendered a single, a double, and then a ground ball to score a run, but yeah, en fuego...
  4. They were just embarrassed in NY, they've got maybe one SP that can start a playoff game, we've all witnessed the spectacularfailure that is this bullpen, the offense is nonexistent at times, and they're 7 games under .500 since June but yeah, definitely #builtforoctober... FWIW Seattle is a better team than NY right now; getting them in a postseason matchup isn't comforting.
  5. Maybe an unintended consequence of this, but the last game I was at this summer there were people up and down ALL GAME LONG. I had an aisle seat, and missed entire chunks of the game because there was a steady stream. Idk if the ushers aren't holding people because of the lack of vendors, maybe there's just a total lack of game etiquette, or some combination of both, but whatever the case it got old. Fast.
  6. Which means little as far as availability was concerned. Removing an option isn't the same thing as never having it in the first place. I asked before, but would the Twins have "done nothing," if they nixed the deal due to the medicals and subsequently ended up without a SP at the deadline? Would you, or anybody else defending the move as a situational necessity have been upset and claimed the Twins did nothing?
  7. @Vanimal46posted a pretty discouraging Ryan split the other night in the game thread. Rookie lumps are a thing, but he needs to figure out a least one reliable secondary pitch because he can't navigate even decent lineups only throwing his FB.
  8. Pagan has been worse than Rogers by a decent margin, his struggles are on another level, and Paddack is now a guy they're hoping turns things around after 2 uninspiring seasons in SD + TJ surgery. This is a false dichotomy. Even if we ignore all the decisions along the way that landed the Twins in the pitching situation at the deadline, it wasn't Mahle or bust. They wanted him, they got him; to date it's been a poor decision.
  9. Arraez sitting might be more palatable if Hamilton wasn't trying to improve upon his .000 BA from the right side of the plate. SSS yada yada but oof.
  10. Is postseason baseball more fun than choking away a terrible division? Yes. Will I tune in to the postseason games? Absolutely. Does winning this awful division (their only shot at getting in) erase the fact that this isn't a good team? No.
  11. Is last season really the bar to clear? Kepler, Jeffers, and Sano all did a pretty good job of killing offensive while in the lineup. If I told you in March that Buxton would make it to September before going on the IL, would you have taken it?
  12. It's embarrassing. Cleveland is the 7th best team in the AL by win % and they play in a division that has 2 of the 3 worst teams in the league. A postseason berth shouldn't have any bearing on how this season is judged for the Twins. Whoever "wins," this pathetic division likely won't deserve a playoff spot.
  13. There's a risk it becomes a dumpster fire, but this topic would be a pretty solid thread and a welcome departure from a lot of the click bait bs that's clogging up this site.
  14. The FB is a real weapon, but yeah, the off speed stuff is so inconsistent. He's not super young by baseball standards which makes me anxious about whether he'll be able to develop good enough feel/control of another pitch and last.
  15. I liked him coming into this season, still do, but the luster has worn away a bit. I think the opening day start and general dearth of SPs led to expectations that wildly exceeded realistically where he'd end up if things worked out, the back end of a rotation. Vanimal's not wrong though, the margin between AAAA and number 5 starter is thin, and he's pitched more like the latter in the second half.
  16. Ryan needs a semi respectable secondary pitch if he's going to hang in the mid/back end of a rotation. Easier said than done, but guys are sitting FB and the HR numbers don't lie...
  17. Gotta love corporate speak. Not that I expected anything different, it just would've been nice to see this FO actually questioned by local media.
  18. Not sure how to interpret that exactly
  19. Wish I would've known he was going on
  20. Not sure there's much there to fix.
  21. 0 for his last 26. Game winning hit. Can't make it up.
  22. Wtf is going on. It's little league s*** out there. Wow.....
