    How can't folks understand Cody was stating facts, not his supported desires. Pretty unfair responses. I hate it, but what he has stated is true.
  2. Wedman13
    What you are saying is factually true (although I thought it was 3 years not two). But there isn't a player in the league that wouldn't opt out of a 2 year contract for a 5,6,7 year deal. It was absolutely expected by all right from the start and a smart move that any of us would take. It would have been negligent of his agent to allow him to opt in. He cannot be blamed for that IMO.

    Is that you Joe Mauer?

    The negative spin from the writers on the site lately is surprising. Yes, Keaschall is killing it. So that means Lewis sucks? Why does every post need a 'yeah, but'? Just enjoy the run, if ur a fan. ps... Lewis didn't even play today

    I like your takes so I no offense but they got shot out last light.
  6. Wedman13
    Slight correction. Other than Seth, somebody forgot to tell the TD writers and 90% of the folks posting on the site, that they were supposed to lose a lot of games.

    This is a great article/opinion. Thank you for the breath of fresh air! it won't be popular, but I think Brooks is our guy.

    Literally zero idea what your point is in this incredibly long post. Correa is a horrible guy (per your personal sources) but should have not accepted a trade - to stay here and continue to be the 'cause' of our players not performing and therefore continue to sink the ship? While having teammates who are your close friends that talk behind his back? So you dislike him, felt he wasn't a great leader, teammates didn't like him......but you thought he should stay. It's a very odd perspective if I understand your words correctly, but ok.
  9. Wedman13
    I 100% agree with you, but the OP blaming him for the failings of grown men is a bridge to far.
  10. Wedman13
    Let's not blame Correa for the failures of others. The last time we won a playoff series he was the best player on the field. Wallner, Lewis, Lee need to take their own accountability, which they would agree with - and I have a feeling they will step up.. the biggest change in this team (albeit its been 1 week) is not the exit of Carlos Correa, it's been the entry of Luke Keaschall. if anything, I think the 2019 bomba squad, while fun as hell, set us back years. Hopefully now we can get back to some level of fundamentals and exciting baseball. (If Rocco can adapt). With the players we have, those on the doorstep and the ones we acquired....I'm very excited for the future of the team.

    Jake Murray of the Campbell Camels! Love it. Harness that control young man!
  12. Wedman13
    I've been shocked at the articles/opinions the normal rational writers on this site (Not including Seth in that) have had lately. It's actually weird. Was he suggesting keeping Correa @$33m was better than going Lewis, Lee/Culpepper, Keashall and name your 1.st baseman + have $20m to spend was a better option? they could have stayed stuck in the middle, or gone for it. I love the bold moves.

    Be patient, Lets give him a real shot at a stable position. (what people are saying). maybe you will get it then. Or maybe u will be right. We'll see. Just think u are jumping the gun. I'm very excited about our future infield

    Here we go again....
  15. Wedman13
    Possibly! the Varland, and Wallner's for that mater have cousins? I'd bet Jerry Koosman, Dick Stigman and maybe Dave Goltz have grandsons? Mike Restovich may give up his legal practice to come back. I hear Mike Kingery and Tom Burgmeier have family (born in MN) that can rip. And Paul Giels step daughter's neighbor crushes it. Heck, I have to believe moonlight Graham has family in Chisholm that can play some. Let's go! 26 MN players on the roster. The way to win, I guess
  16. Wedman13
    The names Louis Varland is being associated with in this thread is beyond crazy. The absolute legends of MN baseball, and Louis. Wow. I hope most of you, and the massive amount of fans that showed up at Target Field to see him pitch the 6th inning, fly safely to Toronto to watch him play. I'll be here tuning into the Twins
  17. Wedman13
    I'm genuinely curious why you put Varland in this category? He's almost 28, has a career ERA of 4.6. I don't believe he's anything like Ryan. And why wasn't Duran in this category? not being sarcastic, I'm truly not quite understanding.
  18. Wedman13
    I'm 1/8th German so would bring the family and sit in the champions club several times a year to watch Kepler. But no japanese in me, so I wouldn't drop a dime to watch Ohtani..
  19. Wedman13
    You nailed it. Not sure what's in the water on this board but did Bulls fans mind that MJ was from Wilmington, did patriots fans care that Brady was from northern CA (via MN they say), do Dodger or Yankee fans care where their players are from? I'd say no to each. Do we take a bit more pride because someone is one of us? For sure. Having Hrbek (the best home town story I can think of) play for the twins was great. Grew up in the shadows, etc, etc. But he was also an amazing, relatable player. but you are 100% correct. The attendance and interest is related to success, not where a player is from. Anyone can debate the trade on its merits - totally fair. But to act like Louis was done dirty is nuts.
  20. Wedman13
    You realize you just put Louis Varland, a set up man's set up man in the same context as Winfield, Morris, Molitor, Hrbek and Mauer? I must be losing my mind...
  21. Wedman13
    You raise a great and interesting question - why do we follow the teams we do? I don't have the answer. I think generally it's geography, but sometimes something else, something deeper. You are right it's a human connection, but generally not to an owner, player, coach, etc. College sports arguably have the most rabid fan bases, yet kids are there only 3-4 years... (and even less now with the portal) so it's something bigger than human to human. regarding the article, I simply think it was a good trade talent wise. It doesn't matter to me where the player is from. That's just my opinion.
  22. Wedman13
    Dramatic much? Head to Elko, Dundas or Jordan if you want the down home aspect. I agree it's special. Thanksgiving and Christmas are great too. How many posters were pissed because we only got Strotman and a 25 yr old soft throwing righty from TB for Nelson? A bunch. Proclaiming trade winners and losers immediately isn't bright. And yes, we understand you don't watch the twins. It's said every day. Some of us still do.
  23. Wedman13
    What in gods name is going on with these articles? Just terrible clickbait the last week. Cry me a river his parents need to now travel to watch him play Major League Baseball. He's blessed, and so are they. And specifically, which players were 'seething'? I get it, cool down home name from St. Paul so let's look past that he was me first and didn't even want to go to the pen. and that before this year he was terrible. And that he wasn't even a setup man on a bad team. My god.... This by all measures was a good trade, and it's getting very tiring reading about how amazing the talent was that we traded away, while the team has dramatically underperformed. i truly don't understand where TD is going with articles like this.
  24. Wedman13
    So reactionary it's laughable.
  25. Wedman13
    The whole article is confusing, and I love the guy. It's been noted that Falvey was completely clear with him about tearing things down. If Buck 'chooses' to stay, that's his decision. Further, the org stuck with him for years and rewarded him pretty handsomely even though he couldn't play 100 games. His fault? No. But it was how it played out. im a huge fan of his, but to say he's been let down is pretty dramatic. and not to nitpick at everything, but he wasn't the first overall pick in 2012. I forget who was...
