    It really is starkly different to be in the AL, and especially if you're in the AL Central or West. The Twins are 57-59 and a half game out of the WC and 3 out of the division. For comparison, they'd be tied with the Reds (4 games back of the WC with 4 teams ahead of them and 15.5 back in the division). Twins are a decent-ish team offensively, but give up a lot of runs (-35 in run differential). Let's get this offense in gear, shall we?

    They alluded to this on the broadcast, but Miz is bothered by the landing area on the mound today. This has happened in other away games, too. And as I typed this, it became apparent again.

    Just as a public service announcement - when sports are exclusively on Peacock, it usually also goes on the NBC Sports Network. Services like YTTV (which I have) carry that network. So, I'm getting it today.

    The Angels' city connect uniform is probably the least different from their normal ones than any other team. Not saying that's a good or bad thing, just an observation

    This is the advantage of playing sellers at this exact moment in time.

    They're only sorta in it - several teams between them and either a division (where they're 4th) or a WC berth (5 teams to pass). With guys like Skubal and maybe others, if they don't move them they miss a chance to re-stock their roster that they won't have if they hold on to them and then just lose them to free agency. The smart thing to do would be to sell, but teams aren't always smart.

    Color me concerned. There was a report that Pannone had joined the team in the dugout yesterday, so something was known. We'll see who goes off the roster - it has to be a pitcher. OTOH, with Harrison back soon, if Drohan is hurt, that solves who goes out of the rotation.

    I know he's a popular punching bag around here, but he did play the position when Vaughn was hurt at the beginning of the year. Not particularly well, perhaps, but he is an option ahead of a lot of others. I wonder about Contreras, if for no other reason than his brother plays the position a bit.

    Chourio, Mitchell, Bauers, Lara, and Vaughn cannot all be in the field at the same time. Whoever sits will be commented upon, without fail.

    I really don't follow the Cubs that closely - he must have been really bad on a team that is starving for arms (or at least that was the impression I had). Or, are some of their injured guys coming back now?

    I have no personal connection to anything related to this, but does anyone know which came first between the MB glove and Whalers? Seems like the same general idea...

    ...and Stallings Getting to the point where Ashby, Megill, and especially Abner need some work. Sproat, unfortunately, tends to provide work opportunities for the bullpen,,, I like a TyMahle with rice and pinto beans. Giants are a little above average in OPS, but are 25th in runs scored, They're a little below average in runs allowed (19th). Overall, they aren't a good team, but they shouldn't be as horrid as their record - only 3 games ahead of the Rox...

    Was Troy Johnston getting high-fives in the dugout (only Rox player to not K in first at bat)

    It appears Murphy’s going with a 3-man rotation with Pratt, Ortiz, and ol’ Bunty. Pratt and Joey have been the hotter bats, but getting every third day off is good for keeping the tank full, at least.
  15. formerlybis
    I’m a little more surprised it was Stallings and not Hall. He and Harrison both on their way, so a temp assignment for Stallings, I’d assume.
  16. formerlybis
    Yesterday was our 5th starter (when Harrison returns) and two arms not in the top 5 of bullpen options. We need these guys to make it to the end of the season, but they’re unlikely to be featured performers in the postseason. I would still like them to go get a top starter, but using yesterday’s performance as a justification is disingenuous. Also, despite their horrific record, Colorado has a better than average offense. If you want to be concerned about anything from yesterday, it should be the rather anemic effort against the league’s worst pitching, by far.

    Just looking at the Rox OPS's and their lineup is potent (of course, gotta take Coors into account), Where they fall down is runs allowed - currently in dead last at 596 (MKE is at 381). They've also allowed 1,048 hits - 2nd worst is at 949, and the Brewers are at 2nd best at 741.

    Sugano is 5-0 in his last 6 starts - pretty impressive for a team 22 games below .500.

    "All models are wrong, but some are useful" is an old saying in statistics. Personally, I hope they never figure out the Brewers' secret sauce,
  20. formerlybis
    Not criticizing you, per se, but I think this is too simplistic a way of looking at things - at least for a position player. Starting Pitchers? Yes. Everyone else? No - I suppose you can make the argument that the C is the most influential position player, but they still are way below the impact of the SP. Everyone agrees Contreras is the preferred starter. But you need to have a backup, and Sanchez is a better backup than most (if he could just stop patting his head uncontrollably...)

    The expansion of the number of Wild Card teams makes it harder for teams to make the decision to be sellers. The coveted players from Detroit, Minnesota, San Diego, and especially Boston may not be actually available depending on how they do over the next week or so. That makes the pool of targets shallower. I'm glad I'm not the GM. My biggest want is a power hitter, but I don't think there are many out there.
  22. formerlybis
    I think they still need to make a 40-man roster decision with Hall coming off IL. Might be wrong about that, though.
  23. formerlybis
    Is there any way they keep Wilson? I kind of like what he brings, but when Hall comes back, somebody has to go a) from the big-league roster, and b) from the 40-man. Anyone on the 40-man DFA'able instead?
  24. formerlybis
    Turang needs a day off here and there, too.
  25. formerlybis
    Except that Bunty McBunterson is coming back on Friday... Maybe that doesn't matter - just ride Joey a while
