    Strange, that’s not how it works for me. OS and browser?

    It depends on the context of the issue and how each of us views the ability to replicate putrid results in specific innings or situations going forward. Overall, the Twins offense is pretty good and I happen to believe that while they may be built to fail more often in important situations, what we're witnessing is beyond anything I've ever seen or read about in baseball, which tells me it's at least in part some really terrible luck in sequencing. But we can argue the details of what that means all day long, I certainly don't know where they "should" be given their talent level, only that they're better than their record in 2021.

    In what inning will the Twins offense stop scoring runs tonight, the second or third?

  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I’m definitely not in favor of trading Berrios for the reason you just stated, I was just pointing out his value is probably quite high right now.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Ugh. You have absolutely no evidence this is the case, which is what makes evaluating a manager from the outside so bloody difficult. Baldelli isn't a screamer and that's a good thing but fans believe that screaming leads to better outcomes for whatever reason (stop watching sports movies and glorifying the likes of Bobby Knight, if your boss acted that way, you'd go find a different ****ing job ASAP). In both 2019 and 2020, the Twins were reeling late in the season, blowing and ultimately losing the division lead in both seasons. They rallied both times and won the division. Was Baldelli competent in those seasons and incompetent this season? Or does his influence not matter? Or, more likely, is this a really complicated situation that can't be evaluated by comments in newspaper articles and snippets of Zoom conferences? Don't conflate anger/outrage with good management or leadership.

    I think Berrios could bring quite a haul but with Buxton being injured *again* and his likely return not that long before the trade deadline, I'm skeptical of how much teams would give for him coming off yet another injury.

    I don't see any need to rebuild yet and there's no real benefit in making that decision on June 1st versus July 15th. I agree that Larnach and Kirilloff should continue to receive playing time but quibble with the others. Sano should still receive playing time, at least in a platoon, until he shows he can't hit at all or shows life again. Polanco is not a third baseman, he doesn't have the arm for it. Besides, what are you going to do, bench Donaldson in the meantime? That makes no sense. Rooker doesn't deserve playing time over Kepler and I'd argue that he hasn't shown he deserves playing time in Minneapolis at all. "Different" is not automatically "better", particularly when speaking about the defensive butchery of Rooker over the quality defense of Kepler. And calling for the DFA of quality veterans is the ultimate knee-jerk reaction. Donaldson will be paid by the Twins for over 2.5 more seasons, you really want him to go be productive for another team while the Twins foot the $70m bill? That's really foolish, no team would *ever* do that.

    They may have internal bullpen options, we just don't know yet because instead of having played 30-35 games, the Saints have played... seven. Thanks again for that, MLB.

    I've never watched a team this infuriating to watch on a daily basis. They're not a terrible team but they're so completely and epically terrible in such specific ways for no apparent reason. Like the fact they're one of the better offenses in baseball but have scored like three runs in the ninth inning or later. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOWWWWWWW STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

    There's a red tab with a white up arrow that appears as you scroll down the page (left side near bottom of screen). Tapping/clicking that will scroll you back to the top of the page.

    Going to start cleaning up the ads displaying *everywhere* on page, hopefully can get that resolved today.

    He's also injured for multiple weeks (again), which is why the FO didn't extend him at the price he was likely asking. This is a circular argument. I don't think anyone is in the wrong, Buxton just wasn't (and maybe isn't) ever going to be an extension candidate because one side will always weigh the risk more heavily (as they should) while the other will always weigh the reward more heavily (as they should). I think too many look to allocate blame instead of looking at the nuance of a situation and realizing that both sides are operating logically and can't reach an agreeable solution together. Ultimately, I think the only solution for Buxton is to go to free agency and see just how much someone will pay him despite the massive (and way above average) risk.

    Blue will be introduced in time but some of the key features that I expect to use blue more prominently weren't part of the launch goal.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Someone let me know about it ~30 minutes ago. I changed some group settings this morning, which sent the article permissions into panic mode for whatever reason. It should be fixed now.

    The orange is for announcements and we have several color options available to us. You see a lot of orange right now because I'm trying to draw attention to key components of the new site to ease the transition for some of the more confusing aspects for long-time users. Once launch dies down, expect to see orange banners rather infrequently. (you may have noticed one of them is already gone)

    By the way, please let me know how speed is for you today. This is the first day of "regular" traffic on the site and for all of yesterday, the server was using a small amount of resources to run background tasks like reindexing the search engine. Speed should be good under normal circumstances but I'd like to hear of any difficulties you're having.

    Thankfully, our tools are much more robust now and while spam will never go away entirely (spammers even slip through the filters of Facebook on a regular basis), it has already decreased considerably and I'm implementing more filters and ways to thwart them as we determine the new software's leakiest bits.
  18. Brock Beauchamp

    Excited to see the site gets its first regular load test during tonight's game...

    Because, after changing forum platforms four times over 15 years and getting the same questions every time, I finally learned my lesson and got out in front of those questions by writing guides how to use the ridiculous number of features included in the software package. If you actually read any of the tutorials, you'll notice they primarily talk about underlying site features and assume you know how to do things like... type a message.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The new system has a "follow" feature, which makes more sense when you examine it. It's like a Twitter follow and you can set notifications when people you follow post, you can filter to people you follow in the activity stream from the menu, etc. Lots of stuff you can do in the new system that makes following a much more sensical approach.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Read this, I cover all of that.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, you just alerted me that I'm not receiving notifications from our ticketing system correctly. For the time being, PM me a detailed description of your issue and I'll look at it while I troubleshoot the ticketing system.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    If this happens, screenshot it and send it to brock.beauchamp@twinsdaily.com. I know that aspect is still a little buggy but everyone experiences ads a little differently and I can only fix what I see.

    Here's a dated meme for your wall, Parker.

      I’m old so I understand this reference. Thank you.

    By the way, for those of you that haven't read the tutorials, two cool new things available. @Mike Sixel Hi, I tagged you! And hit the GIF button in the top of the text editor, you have an immediately searchable GIPHY library!
