    Was Mitchell a reach for the Royals?

    Welp everybody feared they'd get cute, but they somehow held their worst impulsiveness in check, lol

    Not with this pitching staff.

    Two years of Sonny Gray is a lesser asset than 1.5 years of Berrios? Martin is a utility player? SWR is a reliever? I'll answer; If Gray keeps this up this year, he is the clear winner. TBD TBD I would say Gray will offer much more value than Berrios. Martin and SWR, at the time of each trade, had twice the value Petty did.

    You would think a walk back to the dugout to don the Golden Sombrero would help in convincing them.

    There is another excellent, wide ranging game recap by Dan Hayes behind the paywall at The Athletic. https://theathletic.com/4666653/2023/07/04/twins-max-kepler-royals-zack-greinke/ In it the Twins talk about changing their IL routine and how they will have players go on rehab stints at St Paul to get dialed in enough to actually help the big club upon return. Ya think? This FO seems to miss the simple things and react very slowly.

    Balazovic has gotten some good results and I'm rooting for him, but he has to keep his breaking pitches in the zone for longer. No one would offer at them and he had to resort back to the fastball.

    I would say that's really good at just under 18%

    It's going to be telling watching the daily strikeout totals. Stringing together a whole lot of 6k or so games could keep them from breaking the ignominious record. That will be much easier when not facing pitchers like Spencer Strider.

    Bold statement!

    28, 75, 78.2, 108.1, 72.2, 94.1. These are Ober's yearly innings pitched totals in his pro career. He's made 17 starts this year so at 94 innings he is averaging 5.5 innings per start including the minors, but 6.35 since being called up. They were clearly limiting him in the minors due to his track record, but they don't have that luxury now. We just passed the halfway point, at his current pace and with a conservative 15 more starts, that's 95+ more innings. About 189 innings total. 2.65 times the innings that he pitched last year. Now add a possible playoff run and I just don't see how there is anything to discuss here. You are right though, I don't need to be terse. The fact that I get tired of certain conversations here doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't be discussed.

    I can't believe people are talking about Ober going out for the 8th. Pay attention. Look at his career. What is the gain? What could you lose? That was the right move all day long and twice on Sundays BTW how's about Jax n Duran? Pretty sweet eh?

    He got a homer, a walk and a strikeout. Two good at bats and what I would call the Joey Gallo special. Or would it be the Joey Gallo trifecta, lol. The best part IMO was he batted last so that limits his exposure.

    I think SZ's point was that it seems some only post when there is an opportunity to complain and fall silent during periods of rejoicing. This may be true. I don't want to put words into anyone's mouth, though.

    Louis' a bum. Edit: disclaimer, see above.

    My shoelace got caught when I hopped off the bandwagon yesterday and I got dragged for a couple of blocks. A little scraped up but I clawed my way back on and no worse for wear. Go Twins!

    Per Tom F, Wallner has reverse splits and is OPSing over 1100 against leftys. Anyone think of a team that could use help hitting leftys? I just can't take it anymore, he could've made a real difference the last month. Malpractice. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and hear what it is management could possibly be thinking.

    Thank you and you as well!

    I took it as you were implying that he wanted out of Minnesota for this reason. That is what I disagree with. Now if they don't give him a good run up here this year, then I could get on board with that. I don't think they should've sent him down in the first place and was very disappointed with that decision. That is a major reason why I'm losing patience with management. I'll bet he is frustrated right now, but thankfully he is taking that out on the ball.
