Don’t even engage.

NOT GOOD

Ahhh yes. One start decides all. He’s not getting traded. Sorry buddy.

Not sure about everyone. I expressed caution on considering Yermin the real deal here many times in April and May and got roasted a lot for it. I certainly didn’t want it to come to this, but it was obvious he was never going to be able to sustain anything near that productivity with his approach.

Let Yermin go get his swing back in AAA. 100% the right move.

LFG so stoked for Burger

It was back of hand. I was much more concerned with a broken hand. Sounds like he avoided that. I’m sure it’ll be sore a few days, but he’ll be fine. Per usual, he acted like he took a gun shot which always makes it look pretty bad in the moment.

No I know they do that, but when you do the game by game analysis that shows the steep drop-off for Giolito the last 2 starts, I want to do the same for Berrios. But its still showing June 24th as his latest start. Maybe there is another way to comp today's spin rates with Berrios season to-date, but I haven't figured it out yet.

How quickly does Savant usually update the game by game charts post game? Some of my Twins buddies were talking shit to me about Giolito the other day and I CANNOT WAIT to provide them Berrios chart.

No Burger on the menu tonight down in AAA, so chances are you'll get your wish tomorrow night.

Per DVS, Tony said Yoan is likely out this weekend. Guessing we go with a 4 man bench this weekend and Burger gets the call.

Woof, hope this doesn't mean Yoan is heading to IL.

Can you share link?

Me thinks Donaldson should look into Berrios and what happens to his spin rates without the sticky stuff. 0 Ks today!!

He catches that ball if healthy. He shouldn’t be out there.

Disagree.

No, he told you Yoan is dramatic and soft. Which he is. Love the guy. He’s a big baby.

Do you not think Yoan is dramatic? GMAFB

Man hopefully just Yoan being Yoan.

Fegan also said Leury is fine.

Because he got scratched? Lol, relax.

Eloy DH / Vaughn LF / legitimate LH hitting RF via FA/trade is the clear route here. I suspect we will see some Eloy/Robert/Vaughn lineups in August and September, but everyone know that is not a long term solution.

Vaughn has been more than serviceable in LF and I see now reason to jam him into DH/1B at this point. He can cover LF adequately. Let Eloy DH most of the time.

FFS dude this isn't a video game. Defense matters. Moncada is an elite 3B. You don't fuck with that for Jake Burger. Stick Burger at 2B a few days a week....sure....and deal with just 1 poorly defended position and not 2. This hypothetical you continue to repeat is simply not something that is going to transpire under pretty much any circumstance.

I feel like with Billy relegated to pinch run / late inning defense role because his noodle bat is even more worthless with a bad oblique, Goodwin has to stay. Unless they trade for Escobar next few days. Otherwise you're pretty much locking yourself into Leury in CF and Mendick at 2B everyday. it was pretty obvious Billy was not healthy in his AB yesterday. Still has a role on this team, but I don't think he can bat much at all right now.
