  1. It stings to look back at that second Brewers game and realize the Twins were *this close* to a 6-0 road trip.
  2. A four game sweep against a mediocre team on the road in a sweltering hellhole of a city. I’ll take it.
  3. I don't care how it happens and what it takes but Buxton needs to stay on the field. I'm convinced the Twins have dropped at least 3-4 games solely because he wasn't roaming center field (never mind his bat versus Cave's bat). Crashing into the wall is spectacular - and sometimes necessary - but it doesn't need to happen all the time in the sixth inning of a random game in July.
  4. Were any impact arms even traded today? Other than Greinke, of course. But he wasn’t coming here.
  5. I think it was an acceptable deadline. I’m not thrilled but it was acceptable.
  6. I hate to break it to you but when it comes to $50m+ being in play, Houston is going to have the advantage every time. Then there’s the NTC to get around, which likely killed any chance of a deal before it could begin.
  7. What’s BS about it? We know Greinke had Minnesota on his NT clause.
  8. That would require the Twins to claim home field advantage in the postseason, a tough goal to reach given yesterday's Astros team, much less today's Astros team.
  9. The Twins' share of those three states add up to less than a million people. The Houston metro area alone has 1.5 million more people than the entire state of Minnesota.
  10. I doubt it, as Houston had a lot of payroll space for years and they play in one of the largest markets in the country. Their payroll is way higher today, especially once you add Greinke.
  11. Boy, what a silly trade deadline re: starters. Stroman and Bauer go to non-contenders. Minor, Bumgarner, Wheeler, and others stay put. Only Greinke felt like a normal move.
  12. Houston also plays in a market roughly twice the population of the Twins.
  13. The Greinke deal looks really good for 2019 but one has to ask what this does to the Astros in 2020 and beyond. Hard to see them keeping Cole, for example.
  14. In the course of two weeks, I've gone from quite bullish on this front office to seriously considering whether they should be fired.
  15. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/34237-trade-deadline-discussions-please-read/
  16. We have 19 minutes to trade for the Mets GM because, hey, at least that guy is entertaining.
  17. They can spin it however they want, I don't see this fanbase taking the bait.
  18. I really don’t like the feeling I get one second after refreshing the MLBTR Twins page.
  19. I've never been this stressed out about a deadline before. I don't like the feeling.
  20. If Romo is the best reliever traded, I hope the Twins go find another Romo and trade for him. Or go find a starter and move Perez to the bullpen. I won't fault them for not getting an elite arm if no elite arms are traded but I will fault them for sitting on their hands.
