  1. Apparently Royce is walking around the clubhouse today, saying he feels great and better than he feared. Hopefully that continues.
  2. Out of Correa, Buxton, and Lewis, Carlos is the only guy I'm confident will be back.
  3. Oh, I completely agree, I'm only pointing out that Target's logo is one of the only sponsor designs that isn't eye-bleeding terrible.
  4. Yep. Their logo is the reason the Loons' kit isn't insufferable and terrible.
  5. The obvious choice is Target because their logo is cool and super-minimal.
  6. That's why their rebuild failed. They had some elite talent and absolutely nothing behind it for depth.
  7. I have a head cold and had no idea Julien hit that homer with two runners on base until about 30 seconds ago.
  8. For sure. If everyone wants to play at 60% speed for the rest of the season, I'm fine with that.
  9. Ryan Jeffers showing his athleticism on that slide.
  10. Lewis has to absolutely destroy Henderson's rate numbers to overcome that plate appearance disparity, which he's not doing right now.
  11. I don't give him any particular credit for 2019. I don't give managers much credit most of the time either way. I think their biggest influence is in the area we have the least visibility, clubhouse management.
  12. Based on Cody's article here, "unknown time period but at least 2025".
  13. If a team plans to keep a manager around, they often extend them before they can enter a lame duck season just to avoid potential drama and distractions. That's what appeared to happen with Baldelli. And while the Twins were disappointing in 2022, it's hard to pin much of that on Rocco. Having one of the worst injury records in baseball was the most obvious culprit, which is why the front office hired Paparesta.
  14. So you're saying that a team with a historically good offense doesn't platoon much because their hitters are exceptional.
  15. My point is that we don't know the reasoning why not to publicize the Rocco extension but it's pretty obvious the reasons why those teams did publicize their extensions. My general rule is that if I have, say, 5% of the information on a particular subject, I don't try to fill in the 95% I don't know because all I reveal is my own bias, not any kind of truth.
  16. Congratulations, you just found four examples of teams that won the division and/or went to the World Series who rode positive vibes with a manager announcement.
  17. The Twins were coming off two disappointing seasons. There could be a dozen reasons why they didn't announce it right away. It could have been at Rocco's request. Given that this practice is pretty common in baseball, I think it's a bit of a reach to try to read tea leaves on this.
  18. This is quite common in baseball, actually. Because teams are under no obligation to report front office or management salaries or contracts, they often decline to do so.
  19. Emilio Pagan spits nails for two innings against a postseason team, just like we all predicted.
  20. Standing pat was also an option, I've been told.
