[Boogie!]

[Boogie!]

potential closer

I have no idea why the Twins traded us Varland lmao

Especially since he has 5 more years of control left, and was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota. A childhood fan of the Minnesota Twins, who dreamed of playing for his hometown team growing up. He took the trade hard, but I am glad we acquired him.

[Boogie!]

Varsho hitting nukes, Ty France playing like 2021 and we got a reliever with 5 years of control that throws 5 pitches and has a 99 mph fastball

He throws 5?

Hoffman is back

Let's wait and see how does in the next few games before proclaiming that.

Yeah there is a pretty decent chance they try him again at starting next season, I think

[Madvillainy2004]

If the offense keeps up with Gimenez/Varsho/Kirk all back for defense man this team is fun

You know, Schneider is living right when Ernie Clement saves him from looking like a fool.

This manager was going to surrender an out with 2 men on - with 0 outs - in the 4th inning - all in the hopes that the 2nd out might produce a single run?! And just decided in advance to give up on scoring France from 1st.

Is he trying to slowly kill the inning? You’re playing for a single run (with 2 on and 0 outs) and more than half the game left to play?

Schneider must really think 1. that Clement sucks and 2. that a 2-run lead is enough for Berrios.

bunting with Giminez on deck in an interesting decision. Maybe Ernie saw the sign and thought f that.

Especially if we re-sign Biebs and Manoah comes back healthy, there's going to be some good competition for those last couple spots in the rotation.
