I was taking a lunch break. I watched it all funny Duran comes in things happen. Few notes. Yoshida what a home run. He has such good bat control. His hands must be like steel. Or wrists. Very intelligent too. Bloom hit on that one. To the g.m. Who said we bid against ourselves. Great I’d like to see his great accomplishments. Winc was tired , Rodriguez good job. Martin what can I say. Jansen got it done.
Oh this is it till Friday. Also 6pm deadline preview on MLB. Do you guys know 2 channels are broadcasting this. When are we going to do the whole draft. How much fun to break down 20 rounds. I mean in football they do 7. Or fo the first 10.

Give a little space to Wake. he is the who made a ML living out of throwing 1 pitch, which almost no one in ML history every really threw ( a few guys). And he was almost out of the league at that when we got him Analytics isn't gonna be his thing. He had to gut it out and he did. To be clear, I will always love Wake. '95 was one of my formative seasons as a wee Red Sox fan and he was a magical part of that, and a guy I loved rooting for for the next 15 years after that. He's just... not an announcer. Wake: When the whole analytics thing came out, I was against it. Will: Why? Wake: I don't really know.

I now think I’d be ok with a buy and sell approach this deadline *ducks* Sell kiki and buy a starting pitcher, don't go over the LT threshold. Simple as that ! Reminds me of Wall Street , Fox tells Gordon BlueStar Airlines dropping as your broker when it hits whatever I suggest you take it. Gordon yeah you take it up the azz. That’s the commodity of KeKi, it keeps dropping. .

What do you call it . Dry sense of humor. Very serious looking. All the time. The FO love him.

Huge reason. They have 6 outfielders (Kiké is a outfielder), and they haven't had middle infield depth all season. Pablo Reyes is coming back to finally fix that for the time being. Duvall is a piece who should get a 5th starter type they might need to fill in. Duvall is just a imperfect fit to this roster.

I might be moving towards keep Duvall just cut Kiké. Awesome insurance policy, can play most games against lefties and an occasional other one. The team is better that way. On the other hand thatâs probably the worst situation for locker room vibes

Going into the AS break with a very different feeling compared to last year. Quite optimistic!

They’re gonna lose 3-1 today and will miss the wild card by a game I'm starting to worry. Ngl I was too, I was like “wtf this is supposed to be a reverse jinx” Fortunately they’re the A’s!

If reverse jinx was a real thing, Kiké would have Ohtani's numbers right now.

Fangraphs playoff odds are up to 30% If we want the playoff odds to keep going up we will not be trading Duval. He’s exactly the type of player we would be looking to add if he was gone. He dosnt have to play every day to be important.

He dosnt have to play every day to be important. Some mentioned Kenta Maeda in the deadline thread instead of Duvall that they mentioned…. I honestly think a Dalbec for Maeda trade makes a lot of sense (Coming from someone who wants to sell our expiring pieces) If we wanted to buy that move is perfect. Fill a need with a guy whose peripherals say he is pitching like 3-4. And we basically sacrifice no part of our future. Twins get desperately needed right handed bat who is raking in aaa. And are trading a 35 year old rental who they essentially replaced with Ober earlier in the season…. Just food for thought

8-1 in their last 3 series. that is nice with all the starters out, no SS/2B. Absolutely. Their season is essentially based on 3.5 streaks: - April 14-21 -- 6-2 record
- April 29-May 6 -- 8 game W-streak
- June 12-21 -- 6-game W-streak (also 7-3 with all 3 L's in extras)
- June 30-July 9 -- Won 8 of 9
You could actually combine the first two if you wanted (16-6)
Almost all of the pain has come against the NL (and Tampa), especially the lesser NL teams we should have beaten. Unfortunately, we have a lot of inter-league games after the break.
