MLB (4/8/25)

Posted Record: 10-3 (+6.51 units)

Good afternoon all. I was just reading through the comments in yesterday's thread and came across one from @tommyla. He mentioned that he was a Vietnam vet and that he and some of his veteran friends have been following along. Man, that made my day. You don't need to be thanking me, Tommy. I'm deeply grateful for you and all the other veterans and active military out there. Cheers to you all

Now let's see if we can stack another W. Today, I like Cole Ragans and the Royals to take down the Twins.

I'm on Kansas City at -117

BOL out there

LFG

Good luck bro!

@Kaufee

Nice run Kaufee. 

I like this play too. 

Been away from the forum for a few years—feels good to be back. Also refreshing to engage with people who understand why we are on this forum to begin with. 

Let’s stay after it!

We share your feelings, appreciation and respect!

Good Luck 

@Kaufee

The Twins are 0-8 since 2023 when Pablo Lopez starts as a regular season dog.

Appreciate you all

Kaufee

thanks for the insights. Does Pablo being 5-1 against royals concern you at all? 

Good luck mate, I really like Kansas city reliever Erceg in the 8th, but closer Carlos Estevez, he is really headcase, I never feel comfortable with him closing games

Giddyup!!  

BOL TODAY KAUFEE....

Lets Go Kansas...

Nice to see you on KC, I was just looking at taking them. Good luck!

It would if I thought he’d get run support. Ragans has been dominant vs Minnesota. In 5 starts, he’s sporting a 1.93 ERA with 33 k’s across 28 innings. 

It feels like the Twins are reeling right now and Ragans is the perfect guy to knock em back down. 

I hear ya, Dion. A lot of closers make me uncomfortable. I don’t mind Estevez. Although I’m not sure he’s even available tonight. If there is a save opportunity, we could see Erceg or Harvey instead. All 3 pitched in the last 2 games, but none threw a ton of pitches combined. We’ll have to see

One concern is KC's bullpen could be taxed after past couple of games and Lopez has great numbers vs KC.  However, you have been HOT! Lynch will probably have to give them 1 or 2 innings tonight.

2 nights ago Harvey threw 6 pitches, Erceg 17, and Estevez 9. Last night a little heavier workload at 15, 23, 23, respectively. It really depends on Quatraro and who he’s willing to roll out for a 3rd straight day. It might be none of em. I considered this, but thought he’d pitch at least one and I like Lynch, Long, and some of the other guys in the pen enough to still make it a play
