As a Minnesotan, I am required to point out that Louie Varland is a local kid (born in St Paul and went to tiny Concordia College….first Concordian to reach the Majors in 70 years!)

Wouldn't gold gloves be rather heavy and thus impractical gloves? Also a lot of deflections

There were a lot of Minnesota hearts just dropping a beat...

MAT's offense obviously hasn't been nearly as good but it was such a good move by the Twins to acquire a gold glove alternative to buxton in CF

Is unp siding either Jay's pitchers over Twins pitchers in the zone .....or is it just me?!?!?

please don't dip fries into pumpkin spice smoothies

What caused the Orioles to constantly give up on pitchers and then they go do better elsewhere?  Arrieta, Gausman, and Bundy for a bit. Was it the GM back then? Im looking at Gausman # and they were better than I recalled when he was on the O's. Not elite, but back of rotation type.

As many of you have seen, our staff postseason predictions went up today. Jason Martinez was the lone person picking the Blue Jays to win the World Series. Three picked the Twins to win the World Series. I have the Twins losing to LAD in the Series.

The O's back then were in the disjointed Duquette/various Angeli/Showalter years

Of note, my preseason pick for the World Series was Cardinals over Twins. Big whiff on at least half of that. (I hate making predictions.)

speaking of Tommy John, I have a partially torn UCL. We're trying rest and treatment right now...

Today I learned that dipping fries into smoothies is a thing.  Humanity ascends one more rung on the ladder of hopelessness

Hey everyone, I'm showing up as a bridge chatter. I'm gonna be part of the later crew, but probably only peripherally involved as I'm also recapping, so thought I'd get an early start

Welcome to Ben, who is on record as having predicted the Orioles would win the AL East -- only FanGraphs writer to do so.
Ben Clemens

I also picked the Mets and Cardinals to win their divisions, but luckily I wasn't alone on those

Better yet, don't have pumpkin spice Frosties. My kid tried one the other day it was awful. He regretted his decision.
Ben Clemens
6:46
They wondered whether they could make Frosties pumpkin spice. They didn't worry whether they SHOULD

ITS NOT ANY BETTER
french fries should not be touching dairy products
KC Pain
6:46
I can see that Dan.  Just surprised they let Gausman of the 3 go (okay in a trade).  Arrieta was the one who had the horrific #s that I attributed to Gausman...who was lower 4 ERA then.

cheese fries???

oh yeah, cheese
Ben Clemens

Dan how do you feel about California burritos?
AvatarDan Szymborski

OK, they shouldn't be touching SWEENTED dairy products
sweented?
why would you name your prescription drug to sound like "abysmal?"

Dan, AL Central got the worst food on your list right?  It looked bad!

Eighth pitcher of game entering. Score is 3-1. The days of Babe Ruth throwing a 14-inning CG in the World Series are long gone.

ChatGPT, which tends to give you less crazy results than Inferkit, had its share of horrid items too

Minnesota Twins:
Item: "Twin Cities Juicy Lucy Juicer"
Description: A Juicy Lucy burger in juice form, featuring a blend of stuffed cheeseburger ingredients, served in a souvenir mini baseball helmet.
Ben Clemens

discussion question: is a cheeseburger still stuffed if both the burger and stuffing are liquified?
Vin

Are you allowed to dip your fries in that juiced burger?
AvatarDan Szymborski

no, it's a smoothie
