    Yeah that's gonna be a no from me dog. They don't pop at all, you gotta go with the white Hankies! EDIT: Apparently, according to TC white hankies have been banned since 1991!? Am I crazy or did the 2000's Twins also have white hankies?!

    I can instantly tell you how old a Twins fan is by how confident they are that the Twins will sign a Cole-level pitcher this offseason.

    Just came here to say I was wrong. Thought the team would fold after the lackluster deadline, and I was dead wrong. Congrats to my favorite baseball team and I will take my lessons learned this year with me moving forward!

    I think that if the Twins want to use Perez as a reliever, they should have sprinkled him in here in that role over the last couple weeks. Why keep giving him (poor) starts all the way until the ALDS?

    Winning the pennant would mean winning the American League, not the Central.

    "Yes, baseball players having their best season at age 39 seems normal" - Every baseball fan in the late 90's.

    This is what sometimes worries me about having a hyper-analytic front office. Every once in a while, I think you just need to trust your eyes.

    They have scouts diving through the league's dumpsters as we speak!

    Just once I would like to hear Gibson say something along the lines of "I stunk and I need to step up in games like this." It's always "I think I pitched well outside of one or two pitches." This loss was not on Gibson, but I just don't think he has the swagger/mental toughness to take that big step forward to be a #2/#3 starter in the league. He will always be a #4/#5.

    I'll take Marwin! He's been very clutch this season.

    It'd be nice having Garver's bat in there more often, but I don't know if I'm ready to see him try to bail the infielders out with the month (season?) they are having defensively.
  14. Dave Overlund
    Yes! That "Home run record" flag will look nice next to the World Series ones from 30 years ago at Target Field!

    EDIT: First commenter already mentioned this, my bad. Isn't Yordan Alvarez the favorite at this point?
  16. Dave Overlund
    Hey I am really expecting Gibby to turn the corner in his age 32 season next year. Honestly drives me nuts how some people still see/treat him like some young prospect.
  17. Dave Overlund
    I agree that you probably can't afford to IL him for rest, but I also maybe don't leave him out there to rot against Atlanta either.

    Thank you for the necessary and not at all pedantic response. Changes absolutely nothing about my original post but if it makes you feel better than yes, you are right and I am a dumb idiot. At this time last year, you could have said the same thing about Cron with the Rays, there was no reason to believe they would let him walk but here we are.

    As I mentioned in my post...

    Honest question- why does everyone talk about this "window" opening? My comment is not aimed at this particular post/author, a number of people are talking about it. Schoop, Cron, Cruz, Perez, Odorizzi, Pineda and Castro could all be gone after this season (Cruz and Cron will likely re-sign, but they aren't young cornerstones). Polanco started hot, now is trailing off. Berrios is trending in the wrong direction. Buxton can't stay on the field. Sano is a crapshoot from game-to-game. Sure, all of Graterol, Alcala, Balazovic, Kiriloff, Larnach etc could all pan out and we could have a great team, but it's not likely. This was the year, all the stuff the FO threw at the wall offensively worked better than they could have imagined, and they needed arms. They chose not to do anything at all during the offseason, then whined that the price was too high at the deadline. I guess I don't fully understand the narrative that this team has a ton of pieces in place to be some sort of great team for the next decade.

    This weekend was a perfect preview of a potential playoff series. One team got solid pitching performances, manufactured runs however they could get them and played fundamentally sound baseball. The other team swung for the fences, ran themselves out of rallies and made mistakes in the field. Cleveland played baseball, the Twins played like a slow-pitch softball team. The Twins are a fun story and it's been great to see them be competitive for the first time in forever, but this weekend showed us what type of team it takes to win the big games.
  22. Dave Overlund
    This is amazing. "Throwing out" a start against the Yankees for Odorizzi is very convenient for your argument, and saying the Twins are better than Atlanta (after they were embarrassed on their home field) because of run differentials is laughable. People could definitely stand to be more positive about this season, myself included. But holy cow some of these "facts" remind me of John Gordon's stats on Little Big League, in that they are highly doctored to produce a favorable outcome for your argument. Atlanta's starters may not rank highly, but Soroka/Fried are a pretty good 1-2 punch, and they ponied up to buy Keuchel last month. Further, Atlanta's top three starters have combined for a total WAR of 8.3, while the Twins' top three is at 6.8. The Yankees starters are not great, but let's compare their bullpen to Minnesota's!
  23. Dave Overlund
    I am shocked, SHOCKED I say, that Kyle Gibson wilted under the bright lights like SpongeBob out of the ocean. If you need seven solid innings against BAL/KC/DET, he's your guy. Otherwise, forget it. The Kirk Cousins of baseball.
  24. Dave Overlund
    Bring him up. A lot of fireballers have a short shelf life, might as well use 'em up at the Major League level. Sink or swim!
  25. Dave Overlund
    Similar to what the Twins did with Cuddyer in 2002, although Cuddy got a taste of MLB in late 2001. He only had like 80 games in AAA before getting the call up to play instead of the Mohr/Buchanan/Kielty pu-pu-platter.
