    Twins up on the Jays 7-3 in the 8th.
  2. moonslav59
    Yes.
  3. moonslav59
    There was enough complaining over the first 3-4 months to write a book about. I've been perhaps his biggest supporter, and even I agreed he should be sent down, at one point in the season.
  4. moonslav59
    ...and his defense. ...the hole in his swing.
  5. moonslav59
    Bobby Dee!!!!
  6. moonslav59
    Iggy a Bloom gem- unexpected. (Shaw, too.)
  7. moonslav59
    I noticed the same thing. Let's see if he can still get the job done or dial it up a notch.
  8. moonslav59
    With 4 days off in the last 18 days, it makes sense
  9. moonslav59
    Altuve hater. Are you for setting the strike zone based on a crouch? Altuve's would be about 10 inches top to bottom.
  10. moonslav59
    I'm all for smaller strike zones for smaller players. I'm not for shrinking the zone for players that crouch vs standing more upright. Am I missing something?
  11. moonslav59
    No. I said "stance." Players that crouch, should not have smaller strike zones. It should be based on height or actual measurements between 2 points of every player's bodies, as players with the same height make have different measurements between the knees and letters.
  12. moonslav59
    It should not be based on batter stance, though.
  13. moonslav59
    So, basically, 12 guys. That makes room for the 7 Rule 5 and 4 free agents. Sounds about right- no roster crunch.
  14. moonslav59
    Interesting points. Maybe they measure every player and feed the dimensions into the computer, or just go with 1 set strike zone or 2-3 based on your official height.
  15. moonslav59
    That looks about right. Let's assume we protect those 7. Here's how the 40 man might shake out before any FAs are signed. Assume we keep Vaz & Richards options, JD does not opt out and ERod receives and accepts the QO. We lose Perez (option declined), Ottavino, Santana, Robles, Shaw and Iggy. With 8 players currently on the IL and not counting towards the 40 man roster, and us having 39 listed, now, we will actually be at 41 before adding those 7. That means 8 players will have to be traded or DFA'd to make it 40, and that's before we add anyone as a free agent. Who might those 8+ players be? (I think some added for COVID do not need to be DFA'd to be kept in our system.) Michael Feliz Jack Lopez Geoff Hartlieb Yairo Munoz Borderline: Jesson Rosario Hudson Potts Austin Davis Yacksel Rios Trade? Brasier Arauz Plawecki/Hernandez/Wong (1) Cordero
  16. moonslav59
    Yes, you guys are right. A team selecting Ward would have to keep him on the 26 man active roster, even if on the IL. It looks like a good way for us to keep him without having to rule 5 protect him, this year.
  17. moonslav59
    I think the rectangle is useful, but we have to realize it is not perfect. Balls that are breaking, and even fastballs are falling and will hit the catcher's glove lower than where it goes over the plate. We can also see that pitches that hit the same spot are sometimes called ball and sometimes strikes.
  18. moonslav59
    At least MIN has shown it can beat TOR, unlike the yanks.
  19. moonslav59
    It makes it easy for a team to select him in Rule 5. Keep him on the 40 man roster (taking a slot from someone else), but then putting him on the 60 day IL to start the season and opening back up a 40 man slot for most of the year.
  20. moonslav59
    Rule 5 candidates: Lock: Bello Downs V Santos Probable: Winckowski Jimenez (not close to ML ready, but big talent) Crawford Maybe: Feltman German T Ward Granberg T Reed Dearden Ort Esplin Cottam C Brannen Schreiber AJ Politi Padron-Artiles
  21. moonslav59
    He'll may start in AAA, next spring and maybe earn a shot in the bigs, if he does well. soxprospects has him starting in AA. Here is their projected rotations: Rule 5 in RED AAA: Seabold, Crawford, Winckowski, German, Espinal AA: Bello, Groome, Murphy, Santos, Gambrell/Van Belle A+: Walter. Blalock, Wu-Yelland. Drohan, Liu A-: W Gonzalez, Olds, Encarnacion, de la Rosa, Loubier/Rodriguez No Ward listed anywhere.

    Today's games: BAL (Akin) @ BOS (Seabold?) CLE (Plesac) @ NYY (Kluber) MIN (Pineda) @ TOR (Ryu) Saturday: BAL (Lowther) @ BOS (Pivetta) CLE (Civale) @ NYY (Gil) MIN (Ober) @ TOR (Matz) Sunday BAL (Wells) @ BOS (ERod) CLE (Morgan) @ NYY (Cole) MIN (???) @ TOR (???)
  23. moonslav59
    One game at a time. Peddle to the metal!
  24. moonslav59
    Exactly. Just take care of our own business.
  25. moonslav59
    Or, we could gain 1 or 2 on both.
