First annual James Outman Outhouse or Out'y awards

[jaimedude]

My first Twins Out'y  awards in honor of James Outman's flying squirrel bunt to the Chicago  first basemen  last night.                                                                                          1. First Out'y nooky is awarded to Joe Pohlad for claiming in March 2024 the Twins needed to "right size payroll". Crushing team momentum and starting franchise down turn.    He get's an honorable "out'y" for announcing a sale of the Twins  franchise in 2024 then pulling a switcheroo,  reneging on that 2024 quote and just taking on minority partners this season.                                                       2. My second  Twins "Out'y" nomination goes to Derek Falvey.  He has been here nine years and is the definition of starting on third base and failure to be driven in by a sacrifice fly to score a run. His drafts, his trades, his players. This conglomerate of Twins players doesn't even have the excuse of being young like the 1982 Twins who were playing players above there level and had the excuse of an owner looking to sell the franchise or relocate it. Falvey has brought us Twins greats like Josh Donaldson who was great at bat flips and trying to start fights at home plate. Now we have Matt Wallner the new Joey Gallo who strikes out like Gallo, hits solo home runs like Gallo but doesn't run as fast as Gallo. Not a clean up hitter or a leadoff guy but alas he has placed in both spots in Rocco Balldell line-up.                                                Falve'y get's another Out'y for trading away almost the entire 2025vbullpen for Post Trade Deadline AL Worst 5.29 ERA and a collection of prospects like the man of hour Outman that may have cool hair, but are a collection of change in your car or couch cushions.                                          3. 3RD honorable nooky and "out'y" of course is Rocco. This nooky awarded to Rocco Baldelli he get's his "out'y" for insisting on needing a 3rd catcher on the roster and this keeping Mickey Gasper on the roster. A line-up last night that had one player capable of winning a championship, continued errors in the field and baffling base running mistakes. That and the flying squirrel bunt to first base.                                                                                            4. Royce Lewis, he get's an "out'y" for talking about personal hitting statistics and arbitration to the newspaper. You may think it outloud, but don't say that stuff to the press. That is nooky worthy and a golden "out'y" for Royce having diarrhea of the mouth, on a subject not to brag about.                                                                      5. The man the myth the legend, James Outman. Impressive as the flying squirrel bunt may have been in theory trying to catch them off guard the execution was not Moose and Squirrel worthy execution. The collection of running near the wall and mis-playing the ball off the wall or throwing to the wrong base and missing the cut off guy while visually impressive is not sound baseball. I have to ask, how was this Outman ever a Dodger.                Who is your "Out'y" awarded to winners of the year?          In Reusse fashion Turkey I would say after nine years Falvey get's the grand poobah "out'y" of year award.                                I'll take an L for bitching about Gasper in the game threads too much. It is not his fault the Twins are not very good, it's a collective effort from ownership on down.   That and for poor writing style and imitation.
