    Fubo has a week free trial that should cover you for the Wild Card round and the start of the ALDS if needed. Depending how long the season lasts, I may just bounce around streaming providers with free trials.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Especially the Bichette and Guerrero factor. Figured at worst the Twins/Jays games would be the latest AL games at the 3rd slot at 7ET. Guess I was half correct

    I did say in my original reply to you that I would give him a batter or two. We're in some agreeance here, I also understand taking him out.
  5. Puckett34
    Looks like I stand corrected.

    81 pitches or not, he was getting shaky and is known to be worse the 3rd time through the order. Now I would've probably given him a batter or so depending on the result, but I think taking him out was the right call. To call it malpractice is a bit of a overstatement.

    I guess that's one way to try to avoid Ramirez in the 9th
  9. Puckett34
    Well, hopefully after a waiver claim or five tomorrow, he won't be long for the roster. But I'd venture to guess his spot goes to Buxton or Kiriloff, whomever comes back first.

    ***It also might not

    That is always the team I think of when I'm ready to write them off. There was a May or June in 2014 or 15 I think they went 20-8 in a month after being god awful for two months, was thinking, they're gonna do it. Think that was the season Plouffe hit like 10ish home runs in a month or something and Dozier was nearly matching him. Edit: it was the May of 2015, went 20-7, then in June went 11-17. Fizzled out after the break. Good times Edit Edit: Mixing up my references and meshing them as one. The Plouffe tear was indeed in June, but of 2012, but the May of 2015 thing obviously happened separately.

    Was a passive fan from birth-mid 2000's, the 2006 team captivated me and the 2009 team cemented to the fan I am now. September 2009 was amazing

    I'm afraid for the calendar. Its days are numbered.
  14. Puckett34
    Another opportunity to blame you!

    What's red and smells like blue paint? Red paint.

    Those oblique injures can be finicky, you sure it's soon?
  17. Puckett34
    Ah the 'ol guys coming back from injury is just as good as a trade schtick. (sarcasm incase you haven't noticed)
  18. Puckett34
    But you're asking them to be aggressive for being aggressive's sake. There is not much out there left to be had for the cost to get them. This team is ok. Maybe they'll win the division, but I don't think it's worth giving up prospects for. And honestly they could be a seller and still have a punchers chance at the division.

    Small(ish) upgrade and if this is a move just as much as it is for Lopez to be closer to his child, all the more better.
  20. Puckett34
    Who of sound mind and body is trading for Gallo given how his season is going?
  21. Puckett34
    Never said he didn't have the talent. I'm sure he does. I was talking about experience. So you would rather DFA someone, anyone at the expense of trying an inexperienced 3B that has barely played there in any capacity for the sake of needing a 3B for a minimum of a few weeks? I surely don't.
  22. Puckett34
    Maybe this has been asked earlier, but why wasn't Duran used? Were they giving him an extra day off due to pitching two in a row over the weekend (Friday/Saturday)? I know it's one game and may not change the outcome.
  23. Puckett34
    Has played a grand total of 9 innings of professional baseball at 3B, along with 2 games when he was at Covallis in 2018. If he had been playing there with any significant time there this year, I'm probably with you. But I don't think he's it, at least at 3B anyway. Especially if Royce is 2+ weeks away.
  24. Puckett34
    Likely Wallner down when Polanco is ready. Once Royce is ready, I'd put Polanco back at 2nd, Lewis to 3rd, Juilen to DH and Buxton to the IL. I guess unless Buxton is deemed fit to play the outfield, I dunno.

    I'm of the opinion that firing Popkins is probably the most likely thing to happen. Maybe it should, that is not for me to decide. However, I do think that firing managers, front office personnel, coaches, etc..., midseason is probably not something a middle major organization should be making practice of on the regular. I'm of the belief that not only will it likely not sold the problem(s) at hand, but it makes prospective future hires hesitate on taking the job. Sure the Yankee's, Cubs, Dodgers and the like can get away with it and be mostly fine, but I don't think it is something that teams like Minnesota should do. Is this the proper approach, probably not. Maybe the thought should be more short sighted instead of worrying about hypotheticals. I think I'm talking myself out of the second paragraph. I dunno, I just think personnel changes should be made in the off-season. Should he be back, next season? No. But I don't think much is to be gained by making a change with 71 games to go.
