I'm not sure what you guys are seeing to indicate the Twins are good. The starting pitching has been great for sure, but everything else hasn't. The hitting is unbearable and the relief pitching is the same dogshit core as last year.

Peggy Edson posted:lol yep 48-47 in the AL Central, World Series here we come!!! Ah see now you've moved the goalposts. Are they a WS team? Probably not. Are they an ALCS team? Maybe! Are they an ALDS team? Probably! Are they gonna get bounced in the WC round? Maybe! All they need to do is hit as well as this team is capable of. With Polanco and Lewis coming back in the next few weeks, Correa picking up, and some Brain Magic for Buxton, we'd be a solidly competitive team, instead of just the "best" team in a weak division. Considering the hitting problem isn't JUST Buxton, it IS curious, and it IS an organizational thing, I WOULD like to see the approach shift across the board. But saying they're not playoff capable is just plain ignorant.

I agree the Twins should sell. Trade Buxton and Correa to Houston it's the only way to be sure.

Has Aaron Judge's family started saying that his record is the legitimate MLB home run record yet? That's when you know it's getting serious.

Looking forward to Maris Jr hanging onto the "most HRs by a right hander in the AL" record for Judge after Ohtani hits 70

Peggy Edson posted:ok maybe but my heart can't take extending the playoff losing streak even more the fun part is that the rotation being this good means that this Twins team is even more "set up" for playoff success than any trip in the last decade+ so it will hurt even more when they lose every game 2-1

Again, trade Ohtani to the NL so he can win both MVPs

https://twitter.com/Alden_Gonzalez/status/1681369757751345152 Personally I think it would be really cool of Marquee could also go bankrupt so that MLB had to take over and we could bury the dismal three-man booth experience once and for all.

Sydin posted:Rizzo just does this. He'll completely forget how to hit for 2-3 months and then suddenly become the hottest hitter on the planet for the next 2-3. It’s a little more concerning because he’s chasing more and not hitting the ball hard at all. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it came out that he still had lingering pain from the collision with Tatis back in May. Apparently Statcast is due to come out with a bat speed metric which I’ll be really interested to see if it can confirm which guys are slowing down

MLB should take over all teams broadcast rights. Unfortunately I don't think Marquee is going anywhere anytime soon.
