  1. "Kintzler warming up for what he hopes is a save situation" Noooooooooo!!!! You say this like once a freaking week. Stop saying this, you dolt. He hopes the Twins score 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th and it's not a save situation.
  2. That's how you lose ballgames, folks.
  3. We are the most pathetic bunting team I have ever seen.
  4. ANOTHER failed sac bunt. We are 0-1000 this season
  5. I know we all have fun with the Pohlads/Money jokes, but were talking about $1M here. We aren't talking about signing a $100M free agent. If we can't pony up an extra million for a draft we are in the drivers seat of, then I don't know what the point of any of this is.
  6. That wasn't exactly my point. There were plenty of top 100 guys left on the board in Round 11. We had overnight to negotiate with them and I'm sure we had a pretty good idea of where we were at in terms of our cap. Just like with the Enlow pick. I expected a high school flyer at pick 11-1. See what you can save with some under slot guys, use the 700k (5%) extra and make an offer. Worst case, you lose your 11th round pick. Best case you get another top 100 guy. I'm not lamenting our draft. Still lots of signings to take place. We'll see where we land. My point was, if we don't bump up against $14.8M, we did something wrong.
  7. Falvey should've been planning on paying 15.39M for this draft class from the beginning. 14.86M in signings and 530k in penalties. Not doing so, with as large of a draft pool as we were given, is essentially like giving up a top 100 draft pick. It's only money. Money (at this scale, especially) should not be a deterrent.
  8. It's a little early for a Boundary Waters trip. Those lakes would be chilly!
  9. I assume that does NOT include the $700k they can go over without incurring a penalty? So they are really under the number that REALLY matters by about $1.8M
  10. Assuming we haven't, I wonder how many other teams haven't had one.
  11. Serious question... has a Minnesota Twin ever thrown 100mph in a game?
  12. Could you imagine if we had a TV guy that could intelligently talk about the juiced baseball issue?
  13. Someone needs to tweet that The Ringer "juiced baseball" article from last week to Dick Bremer
  14. Well.... he DID manage to walk Eddie Rosario
  15. This game is simultaneously why I'm worried about run differential and not worried about run differential.
  16. Wolfson had a tweet that he's just going to be there for a couple weeks to get used to playing OF every day, then likely go to Ft Myers
  17. Yeah, the headline got me as well. I went there straight from the main page, so I didn't have the context of what Forum (Minor League) the discussion was in.
  18. I feel like you "curveball terrorists" are jsut being obtuse. Having a curveball doesn't make you good. Not having a curveball by the time you get drafted probably means you'll never develop it.
  19. Don't forget, the Twins can start 700k over slot and not violate the 5% rule.
  20. I saw a couple days ago he was something like 0-8 on 5-star plays. That made me wonder.... is there a video compilation of all of the 5-star plays in the OF this year? Those must be some pretty damn incredible plays if Buxton has ZERO of them.
