If the bats are hot going into the Cleveland series we have a shot

Absolutely. 3 would be nice but I’ll take 2 out of three

But what may tell the tale is which Gio shows up and Cueto needs to be 2 weeks ago Cueto

At least we’ll go in with a fully rested Graveman and Hendriks.

We need ALL 3 in Detroit, no room for error

Yes but the odds of Minnesota sweeping the 5 games, are slim and none, we can win 7 straight, is it possible? Yes, feasible no. Cleveland could be overconfident playing Texas and KC. KC loves to play spoiler. It’ll be interesting.

Ok so barring a total collapse, which we are know won’t happen we’ll be 3 out. Cleveland has 5 with the twins we have 3 with Detroit. Sweep Detroit Minnesota takes 3 out of 5 anther 1 out and then THE SERIES with Cleveland win just 2 out of 3 and we’re tied for first.

When a team is -150 on the road after a loss against a 1st place team that just swept a team. Something smells in Denmark as they say. Especially with the guy they threw out there.

Forget Luery for now, let's talk about what the hell we do about Cueto next year. Do we make the same mistake that we did with Rodon?? Before everyone statrs yelling at me and if you read my posts, I'm a big Cueto guy, without him and Cease we'd be just waiting for Bears Football, and that's no bargain, we were lucky Sunday. Would we have got better numbers from Rodon? we'll never know. Cueto will get a payday next year but not from us.

Luery earn 5.5 million a year, guaranteed for the next 2 years after this year. he'll be 35/36 at the end of his deal in 2024.

Luery will be here next year and the year after, this team will also have the same problem as last year unfortunately. these morons will get hurt from time to time and need time off. Remember, if he really goes downhill i don't think they wouldn't DFA him. We ate Keuchels money which was a lot more than what Leury makes, we need to trim the fat money in the bullpen also.

I’d love to see Elvis stick around for at least one more year, he’s a great insurance policy

I’d rather see Luery, who I like to be traded to free up some cash, Mendick is a bit younger and can play all 3 infield spots, granted Garcia can play the outfield but so does Engel in a reserve spot. We also got some dead weight in the bullpen. But that’s another topic.

Wishing TLR all the best, please take the rest of the year off, visit the grandkids, take the wife to Italy, visit with your friends that you didn’t have time for. We’ll get by, it’ll be tough but we’ll make it. We are Allstate. We’re in good hands.

We will have a log jam problem next year. We are filled to the brim with DH’s and 1st Basemen. But the this team gets hurt, we made need them all !!!!

I’d love to see a bench next year with Romy, Elvis on it. I could even live with Romy at second if we pour money into another quality starter and or a legit right fielder. Maybe even Elvis at second??

No excuses tonight, it’s the A-Team minus Anderson, but Elvis is not a bad replacement and doing a great job defensively. Romy also holding his own. Need the next 3. Especially Thursday afternoon.

We have 2 with Colorado. Now we really need both. Time for Packers Vikings second half. I’ll watch the posts to see how we’re doing.

3 games series not 4

Can’t be a complete shocker. Very shitty teams are tough to sweep when they’re at home. Although we were all counting on it.

If we have a chance to get a good starter and or a legit right fielder, I’d rather spend the money on that and I could live with Romy and let him develop at second. Also what about Elvis. Anyone know his contract status? Is he a FA after the season? I’d rather resign Elvis and let Harrison walk, and I think Luery has slight trade value.

I’d still leave him out there. Rather have him out there than Luery Harrison also

We got 6 left with the Twins. Beware of wounded dogs, they’ll want to play spoiler.

Agree

This could now be the beginning of the sweep
