  1. Buy a bowel? Where do you do that, Sears Medical?
  2. Well, it was true for a whole minute or two ?
  3. I guess we're only going to score runs by the home run this year . . . sheez.
  4. I actually like this trade. 2 controllable-affordable pitchers for 1 year of Rogers and a controllable but possibly superfluous iffy power outfield bat. Rogers is good but Pagan is no slouch, and Paddack can be a quality starter or as HG3 pointed out above, maybe a lockdown reliever.
  5. Gonna be the Angels bullpen catcher I believe.
  6. With the arrival of the Sisco kid, there's no more waiting for Godoy.
  7. Strat-o-matic did a 2022 simulation and somehow the Twins made it to the World Series to face the Brewers, losing to the beer makers 4 games to 3. Now this is March and those must have been some Twins-friendly dice, and of course beating the Yankees in the playoffs ... yeah .... no. I can only imagine that Buxton avoided the injured list and he and Correa powered the look-alikes to a lot of runs scored. However they did it . . . i like it!
  8. From the National Library of Medicine on TOS and pitching performance: Conclusion: 74% of professional pitchers who undergo surgical intervention for TOS are able to return to play at the MLB level. With regards to performance, the majority of metrics were unchanged from prior to surgery, indicating return at a similar functional level. Pitching metrics demonstrated that pitcher ERA remained inferior postoperatively compared to baseline preoperative performance (3.66 vs 4.50, p = 0.03). Fastball velocity (p = 0.94) and strike percentage (p = 0.50) were equivalent to pre-injury performance. Me: "Similar" functional level, but still reduced as far as I read it. The ERA difference seems significantly worse. Reports say Chris Archer is a "smart pitcher" and if he can figure out how to be effective post TOS , then he can help the Twins some.
  9. No.
  10. Royce Lewis . . from the hole . . . throws him out. Nice play.
  11. How do you know they haven't?
  12. Looks like Raley to the Rays.
  13. A Big Mike reunion wouldn't be bad. You would have to be Ga ga to think that Chi Chi is more than just frou frou or adds good ju ju to our pitching staff.
  14. And . . . a 14-1 pasting at the hands of the Red Sox to start the spring (we did get 2 hits though) just adds some extra juice to our current roster angst. Why do we always seem to start out like we're 2 weeks behind everybody else?
  15. Good question. Sometimes guys end up as roster fodder, no fault of their own.
  16. Jose Godoy the catcher we claimed from SF looks kinda like a Rortvedt clone just 3 years older. Left-handed bat with similar minor league hitting and fielding profiles. Gets on base a little more with a little less power, and throws out a few more runners with less passed balls per game. Looks like a good and timely claim.
