    I added the time stamp back into the post. I want to eliminate the "Today" part of the text to shorten it up but I don't have the energy for that today. I'll look into it later.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Hmm. A lot of you used that time stamp. I'll look into possibly adding it back in.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    We are working on it. I've been out of town the past few days for a funeral but I'll be back later today and will try to resolve the problem.

    If that's the way you feel, I invite you to leave and never, ever come back. We spend hundreds of hours putting this site together every month. if you can't appreciate that, we will shed no tears if you go somewhere else. To respond to your "real job" statement: If you want an ad-free website, go build one.

    It's right there in the rules. You can attack an idea, not a poster. Everyone needs to stop reporting posts that don't violate the rules. Clean this thread up or it's going to get locked. I'm on a phone right now but I'm going to look through this thread more closely when I get home.

    Could someone post the lineups for me? Heading to a funeral, which isn't as unlike a Twins game as one might think.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    I think the argument can be made that the Twins move players cautiously. They rarely jump people a level above where they should be at the time. Do they move the occasional player along more slowly than other teams? Probably. Is that a problem? Very rarely, in my opinion.

    I'm in total agreement, just thinking aloud. If I was the Twins, I wouldn't even consider signing him beyond 2015 and even that is a stretch for me.

    Yeah, that's a fantastic alternative. Block the only source of revenue from a site you frequent for free. A site that requires hundreds of man hours a month to maintain for very little to no pay. Brilliant. With that said, I received a full frontal assault of pop-up, pop-out and noisy ads this morning when I checked the site. I now see the complaints. That will be resolved shortly. We want to create a friendly environment that also allows us to make a little money for all the effort we put into the site, not annoy the users to the point where they never want to return to TD.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Nope, always six games for a starting pitcher.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    If they really wanted to do it, they could renegotiate Morneau's contract for 2013 at $11m and then put him at, say, $9m for two more years. It's possible but it would require some interesting negotiation.

    I don't understand how the Waiver Trade process works. In a large deal like this with a boat load of players changing hands. Don't they all have to go through waivers. I can understand how A Gon, Beckett and Crawford can make it through to LA because of salary but... How do the Young Talented Cheap Dodgers get through without a claim. Been following baseball for a long time and I don't understand trading in August. There seems to be an unwritten law that GMs don't claim players they honestly have no interest in pursuing unless it blocks a division rival. Otherwise Houston could just claim everybody decent for the hell of it.

    Nah they are all surfing off La Jolla Shores; only military and tourists go over that Bridge Oh, I'm well aware. Lived there for eight years and crossed that bridge maybe five times.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, is that such a bad thing? Scott should be winding down for the season anyway, in my opinion.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Padres fans are throwing themselves off the Coronado Bridge right now.

    After a healthy year of Mauer in 2012, I'd really like to see him behind the plate more next season. Not a ton more but if he can catch 100 games, I think the team needs to do it. He's better behind the dish than Doumit and Ryan can DH more.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Most teams don't have two catchers that OPS over .800 and also play 1B, OF, and DH. While I'm not dead-set on the Twins carrying a third catcher, it does make sense for the team to do so. You may not agree with the decision but it's not indefensible. Why should Span have been DLed? Because the team needed the roster spot? For who? They called up Matt Carson, for crying out loud. Now Span is back in the lineup and had a good game last night. If they had DLed him, he'd still be unavailable for 4-5 days. There are plenty of reasons to bitch at the medical staff but I don't see the point in cases such as this one. Reserve your vitriol for the Pavanos, Bakers, or countless other situations where injuries carried on for far too long.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, I'm just fine with Willingham taking it easy over the next five weeks. Does it really matter if he plays every day?
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    This would be awesome if it happened, if only for the crazy amount of talk it would generate. But why are the Dodgers trying to pick up everyone else's bad contracts?
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    If we ever moderate you for anything, just consider it a pre-emptive strike.

    Burnett had around an 8 k/9 ratio in AAA with a WHIP of 1.7. Slama has around a 10.8 k/9 ratio in AAA and a WHIP of 1.15, including a ridiculous 15.1 k/9 this season. They're very different pitchers. I'm not saying Slama is the answer but Burnett is not a good comp.
