Isn't this what happens when everyone is in the best shape of their lives?

I'm a masochist, and ended up choosing 90-94. I think they'll be better than .500 and with a little luck can win those 9 extra games to get to 90.

How does service time manipulation have anything to due with Lewis? He's been hurt, and had his development slowed by circumstance not manipulation.

At least his knee that was injured last year was untouched, right?

Better to be lucky than good, eh, Falvey?

Dislike having Pagan pitch, but if Duffey starts the inning and blows it we’d be complaining about that. Thus the issue of a craptastic bullpen bites again.

So walk the best hitter in Cleveland to load the bases for a guy who might walk in a run? Or just give up the 3R HR?

Using Pagan, -10 manager WAR.

Better to rip the band-aid off quickly than slowly? They're getting their days off now matter what, now it is one game without them than two games without one each?

I would politely suggest you're more full of rubbish than a land fill full of tires. Francona is the same manager who got run out of Boston for losing his clubhouse. Cleveland's relievers have over half a run better ERA than the Twins. Cleveland just had a better bullpen. And the Twins like most teams pull their starters early due to the fact even a mediocre reliever has a better chance against a lineup the first time than a starter does the 3rd and 4th time through. Almost the entire MLB now does this, but of course it is just Baldelli.

Wasn’t Winder the 27th Man for the double hitter? He was just returned to AAA them without an official move.

The saving grace this year compared to last has been the usable talent ready when injuries occurred. This deal strips the depth the Twins have.

Wow. Just, wow.

But damnit the teams lost by always running hard, and having unbelievable pitcher fielding fundamentals.

I liked the Obi-Wan show. It wasn't great, but enjoyable. I liked how it delved into Leia's backstory, while also showing the Owen/Beru & Bail/Breha as the parental figures who shaped Luke and Leia. And showing how f-ed up Obi was from the end of the clone wars and order 66.
