    Funny, the only people who really thought Balazovic had any steam were the people on this site.
  2. purplesoldier4u
    Bubba Thompson?

    Dave St. Peter and his business acumen is responsible for that. When the RSN deals were being haded out like candy to children on Halloween, the Twins were relegated to lower-tier dollars. $55 million was more than they led us to believe it was, much like the Royals' deal, but it should have been in the area of the Padres.

    Hahahaha! Those passionate Twins fans sure are simpletons, right? I mean, the team did so well at the trade deadline and, with the easiest schedule in the league, is running away in a horrible division. Also, it's not like they are running with leading the league in their hitters striking out and still continue to roll out a strike-out prone hitter a handful of times per week.

    The 0-2 comment seems spot on and when you live in the strike zone, you die in the strike zone ... unless you're Greg Maddux.
  6. purplesoldier4u
    ... still!

    The Twins could not afford to throw these past two games away, but, as usual, they did. Is anybody else concerned that Ryan is so inconsistent?
  8. purplesoldier4u
    I remember a prominent, even eminent, TD "member" pontificating that the Twins should not try to trade for Adrián Beltré becasue he was "about done." The comment was made prior to the 2006 season.

    Indeed. As dumb as it is to be critical of any draft, it is comically stupid to rate the success of any draft. Fact is, maybe two or three players, from each team, will make an MLB roster from this specific draft ... some teams will have more and some will have less. Then again, years ago a website commenter asked what if Buxton and Sano didn't live up to their collective hype machines and that person was widely told that it is unlikely they'll not be MLB superstars "because all the experts say so."😀

    These are some very basic stats; but in 82 games (each), the Twins have scored 9 more runs and have walked 43 more times than the Marlins. Yes, the Twins have stuck out 173 more times, and the Twins have hit 27 more HR's and 92 less total hits. As far as (again, very basic) pitching numbers go, the Twins are better, though not appreciatively better, than the Marlins. From what it looks like, the teams should be fairly comparable, but Miami is perceived to be much better, and they are 8 games better, but that should not be the case. Would one hitter, albeit an exceptionally good one, flip the script that significantly? To be honest, there are only a few really good teams, a few really bad teams, and the Twins are in the mediocre group ... with 20 other teams. I expected 85 wins and hoped for 95+ and so far, they should be somewhere between those two numbers, I hope.

    Fun!

    I wonder if Glen Taylor can sit down and look eye-to-eye with Buxton or Correa? It worked so well with the underperforming Wiggins.
  13. purplesoldier4u
    I feel bad for AK. He came up up looking like he was really squaring up the ball and now he looks like most of the remaining hitters. I'm not a big RISP guy, but did I read we were 0-23 in the series? Seriously?
  14. purplesoldier4u
    I'm pretty sure I heard Scotty Ullger screaming "swing like a man!" earlier this season. I'm glad it's resonating with the ballclub!
  15. purplesoldier4u
    I know this is beating the parenthetical dead horse, but MLB could make the draft more interesting by allowing all trades, including slotted dollars, and making it a three-day affair. Day 1: 1-5 Day 2: 6-10 Day 3: 11-15
  16. purplesoldier4u
    Unless it's Enrique Bradfield?
  17. purplesoldier4u
    Enrique Bradfield Jr.!

    How much longer is the Falvey/Levine/Rocco era going to last?
  19. purplesoldier4u
    Those prospect losses wouldn't hurt so much if we had received value in the Berrios trade.
  20. purplesoldier4u
    Sadly, you have to give up something to get something. No more of those Nick Punto and a middling prospect for X superstar trades, I guess.

    LOB: 12 😢

    It really doesn't begin to matter until Memorial Day. After that, let's see where they are.
  24. purplesoldier4u
    Megill looks horrible, but he has decent stuff. Is he headcase or just doesn't know how to pitch. His mom is nice looking too!😉
  25. purplesoldier4u
    I wonder how high SD's spending to revenue is? 65%? 70%? Their owners are willing to spend the money to win it all. Good for them and the Padres fans!
