I’m confused as to why the current pitcher is not maeda

As am I....but perhaps this season is about learning and practice at this point? That or Maeda? I got no idea.

If someone is willing to pay big for Garver right now, trading him is fine. I’m just skeptical anyone will pay a premium right now after the up and down of the past 1.5 seasons. 

It's really more about getting the max for Berrios....

See, I think Garver can bring a haul by himself if the front office times it right, which probably means this off-season or next July.

I’m not sure you can trade your own player for another

truth. 

Arraez!

Another runner in the scoring position.

 

Get 'em home, okay?

Tigers got 'em right where they want 'em!

The balk rule is perhaps the dumbest rule in a sport chock full of dumbass rules. 

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Yet, it's seemingly key to the Twins offensive strategy.

I hate that I feel bad for Krol

Ugh, poor guy.

Kepler sneaks it by Grossman!!!

Triple? Sure, whatever.

There’s the Robbie Grossman we know and love. 

Ah yes,  Robbie Grossman

The sac fly with 1 out was still my favorite scoring play this inning.

Hit it at Grossman is a pretty good strategy

Atlanta could use him.

Remember when Sano hit that grand slam in Cleveland back in 2019 to effectively clinch the division for the Twins? What happened to that guy?

30 MLB teams can use a catcher that hits like Garver but right now it’s unclear when he will resume catching. 

Sure would be nice to see the other relievers pick up Alcala here and get him a "W". Kid hasn't had the best year, would be good for his confidence for sure.

Getting eight out without giving up four runs is a tall order for this bullpen. 

Swings at ball four and cheats us of the matchup we all wanted /slash/ didn’t want to see :

Baddoo with the sacks full two outs

Just got home from friends house. Alcala pitched without giving up a home run and Kepler has 2 hits . . . looking good.

Hmmm. 4 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks, 4 rbi. Is that called, "giving them what four?"

The committee would also have accepted "Strong in the fours."

Baddoo beats the shift.
