  1. Obviously, any player (like Mauer) can have their career derailed from "first ballot HoF" to "maybe HoF" in a heartbeat. But we're comparing legendary players through their mid- and late-20s and Harper was mentioned. Somehow, despite all the hype early in his career, Bryce Harper has become the most over-rated-under-rated player of my lifetime. He's a phenomenal baseball player who will likely reach ~50-ish wins when he's 30 years old. That's a first ballot Hall of Fame track, no matter what happens next.
  2. Oh no, that's a GREAT baseball name. Not only is his last name "Balfour", his first name is "Grant". That's ****ing amazing.
  3. That was an incredibly fun game. So at this point the Twins have faced the three division leaders of the AL in consecutive series: Houston, Chicago, Tampa. The Twins have gone 6-3 in those games. As we all predicted, of course.
  4. BTW, I noticed this went from an intermittent problem to a consistent problem so I patch-worked some code to fix it until the ad provider can deliver a real solution. If you still experience this issue, clear your cache on a mobile device and it should be resolved.
  5. While I have no opinion on the player himself, “Ralph Garza Jr” is a terrible baseball name.
  6. I’d definitely call for Rooker in that situation.
  7. I have one question: Where the **** was this team in April and May?
  8. This is kind of what I’m thinking. Something in the Willingham/Cuddyer mold of hitting. Decent bat, bad glove, pretty good career overall.
  9. And again, if you're comparing guys like Trevor Larnach to literal first ballot Hall of Famers, you're doing both objective analysis and Trevor Larnach a disservice. The overwhelming majority of MLB exists between bust and first ballot status and we should discuss where Larnach lands on that spectrum, not throw him out because he's not the 0.5% of the 0.5%.
  10. I think you’re describing an ad issue that has been expanding some pages on load. It’s a tech issue I’m going to address as soon as I clear a few things off my current list.
  11. He has been really terrible in that very specific situation but also has a 200 tOPS+ in Late & Close situations. Like most clutch stats, I write it off as noise. But it’s still frustrating to watch.
  12. Yeah, while we can debate Donaldson’s attitude until we’re blue in the face, he’s been as-advertised when on the field.
  13. Minnesota Nice taken to an absurd extreme
  14. Excellent baseball from the visiting team, same as always.
  15. Oh no, sorry, my jokes were all R rated so I can’t type them here, that’s all. No offense taken and none given.
  16. *sits down to watch baseball at 7:34pm after putting kids to bed* ”Well, ****.” *turns off TV*
  17. I have no witty retort to this that isn’t R rated so imma just gonna go watch some baseball now.
  18. First, you need to ratchet the rhetoric down about 90% and chill with the hyperbolic exclamations. Second, Stu is given a lot of liberty to write and satirize by Twins Daily ownership, of which I am a member. You may disagree with his take and that is fine but he’s here writing by invitation. We support his content and pay him to continue producing it. If you don’t like what you read, feel free to move on to the next (probably much more straight forward baseball) article. Personally, I think Stu is funny as hell and that this was one of his best pieces yet. YMMV. Third, don’t waltz onto a website and tell people to “keep X out of this space” when you haven’t bothered to learn the site’s mission statement or even who you’re responding to in comments. It’s bad form.
  19. I don’t really have evidence to support this but I’ve always considered them largely working in tandem.
  20. Simmons did not take the vaccine and has stated he will not take it.
  21. The other side of that coin is that John Gant was an unmitigated disaster with the Cardinals and has been utterly dominant with the Twins in 5.2 IP.
