    Duffey came in after Berrios let 4 runners score. He struck out the one batter he faced in the 5th on 7 pitches. This is what it feels like to have nice things? I LIKE HAVING NICE THINGS

    I thought about this in terms of who I think will get the most all star votes this year. Who is most likely to be voted in by fans? My guess is Rosario, if he keeps mashing HRs. He was in the final vote last year. He’s leading the league in HRs. I also think he’ll be hitting over .250 when it’s time to vote. If he’s hitting .222 though, I could see Polanco. Especially since he’ll probably have about 7 cycles by then.

    We were projected to finish I think 12GB of CLE by 538. We’ve overtaken them by game 33. This is as fun as I’ve had watching this team in years. Not only because they mash and Oro / Perez are SSS aces out of nowhere. But the farm is stacked and we have a GM who says we will go for it when the timing is right. How good does this team look with another legit ace dealing? Or an Andrew Miller type trade. Oh and Sano coming back. Squeeeeeeee

    Told a buddy coming into this 7 game stretch that 3-4 is what I expected. 4-3 or better and I’d believe. A win tomorrow and I’ll go on record as the twins being a team that will not just content for the central, but be a contender to go to the World Series. Man this team is fun to watch.

    I think we should just regain our homer happy form with that bandbox of a field, and pull out our brooms. Simple as that.

    Heyyyyy! Another day where Royce event 0-fer! Too soon for pessimism?

    Look at the runs scored and runs against for the tribe and the twins. Tribe have played two more games. Twins have scored 25 more runs Twins have given up 12 more runs This is how this season will go. Tribe will win on SP. Twins will win on bats. As carlito_b said - we have a lot of players who can carry a club. Sanó may only add to that. The tribe have some elite SP, a shaky pen, and a paper thin lineup. I like our chances.

    A lot of 0fers and 1fers thus far from the bats. Leggo boys. Need me some trade meat for midseason. Berrios and Graterol need a third horse to win the World Series this year.

    Two good offensive games and that FTM box score doesn’t look quite so ... offensive. Don’t get me wrong, a few OPSs near the Mendoza line, but two nights ago it was brutal. Keep mashing Royce. Need you tearing up AA ASAP.

    Hoping TF isn’t the cure to the Jays road woes. 11-5 would look pretty damn good. Particularly with the tribe facing HOU SEA ATL in 14 of their next 19.

    Yessssssssssssss That is all. Yesssssssssssssssssss Couldn’t help myself.

    Now a career .371 hitter with a .371/.388/.546 triple slash. The legend grows. No chance of regression.

    From ESPN Astudillo was 2 for 2, raising his career batting average to .368 in 100 plate appearances. That's the highest average in major league history among players with at least 100 plate appearances, just ahead of Ty Cobb (.366).

    This is going to be a fun summer of baseball. Would be most excellent if we could break out just in time for the next wave to come up.
  15. ScooterDance
    Agreed on Buxton double being my favorite moment of game. His ascendance to elite player is the most important development that could happen this year. Also, 2mph faster than his fastest ever exit velo? Keep hitting them weights homie.
  16. ScooterDance
    Really hope this is a philosophy that is being strangled out of the organization. Siloed thinking craters innovation and progress.
  17. ScooterDance
    Buxton 2-2 1HR 5RBIs last night. 800 RBIs and 160HR should get him mvp votes. Figure he’ll need two days off throughout the year from general soreness due to carrying the entire team on his back.

    Keep reading that this solidifies our floor but does nothing to our ceiling. Our ceiling will be dictated by Berrios Rosario Sano Buxton Kepler etc. if they take leaps to star / superstar our ceiling is high.
  19. ScooterDance
    Cruz at 1+1 is better than anybody we signed last year. Marwin at 2 years is not like last year. Fernando to the pen being announced this early is unlike last year. Schoop more intriguing as well. Not seeing it.

    100% my dad

    This feels like the approach we will see as commonplace after a strike. Both players could have made more in the latter half of their respective deals. By giving some future earning potential in exchange for increased compensation whilst not proven stars, everybody wins. Both sides are assuming the risk. If the players become stars they still have the ability to make some scratch down the road. The current system enables smart teams to optimize for young, cost controlled talent. Once that talent gets expensive they can flip it for more assets. See Tampa.

    I believe there was a typo in the OP where it said Kepler was going to be our starting RF. No way he starts over Harper.
  23. ScooterDance
    What can he do? How about not have three of his relief pitchers on the appearances leaderboard at the all star break. That’d be a good start.
  24. ScooterDance
    This feels like one of those trades that - if we make it Realmuto gets hurt or sucks and Kirilloff is a HoFer. And if we don’t Realmuto is a 9 time all star and 2 time MVP and Kirilloff never amounts to much.

    I'm going to screenshot this and show you after we sign one of them. You better have evidence that you pooped your pants, or I'll call you out as a charlatan and a liar.
