  1. Seriously...what would Boston demand to get Alcala back? I would be afraid to ask.
  2. But Ty France is the perfect player for the Twins’ safe, boring, and guaranteed mediocrity.
  3. BREAKING: Chris Paddack has been DFA’d by the Twins and claimed off waivers by Dairy Queen. Sources say DQ was impressed by his consistent soft serve.
  4. What a way to start the 2nd half...getting shelled out of the gate by the worst team in baseball. Meanwhile, Alcala throws another clean inning for Boston.
  5. I'm pretty sure Falvey is #1 on every GM’s speed dial.
  6. "Hoping" was a key word you didn't include in your quotation copy. DXP is "hoping" the next big deal is, that in contrast to the current ownership, the new owners will want to win. My hope is the new owners know how to win.
  7. Minnesota isn’t failing to follow the Cleveland/Tampa model because they won’t, it’s because they can’t. Those teams trade from strength and develop surplus. The Twins don’t have the same luxury. .
  8. A younger version of Clemens, Miranda, Julien and Sabato we need not. Just pick him up when he's DFA'd in a few years.
  9. He actually has played 1st. Screenshot shows his minors/college fielding states. Between college and the minors, he logged 22 games there and started 13. In 2024 at Wichita, he started 13 games at 1B and didn’t commit an error. Mauer was moved there due to concussions. Morneau ended up at 1B because he didn’t cut it behind the plate. So it's common position for a player to settle to for one reason or another. In the Twins case, they need him there.
  10. Crazy how much debate a utility guy creates. Clemens is not the long-term answer. The Twins will move toward putting Keaschall at first ASAP.
  11. Exactly. He's not able to hit when it matters the most. The pressure to perform gets to him and he fails. Hopefully he grows and figures it out. Like Roy Smalley said about Wallner. " The balls he hit stay hit a long time"
  12. All Wallner's homeruns have been solo shots. Unbelievable really...to have only 6 other RBIs in the other 191 PAs. If that was a batting average were talking. .031
  13. Wonder how he'll do in the field? I still have a vivid memory of Delmon Young turning a routine one-hop single in left field into a triple. It was a train wreck waiting to happen. Carsten Sabathia looks good. Smooth and fluid swing. He's still undrafted.
  14. Sox are 13-1 in last 14 too... Alcala did give up 3 runs in his last outing. So Sox win despite him. But...he's not melting down like he did here. Btw...Wentz gets picked up by Atlanta and promptly throws 3 scoresless innings. Another coincidence?
  15. Can't tell you how many times I've thought the same thing. Rocco has his methods and rarely mixes things up. He's so predictable. Jax had the next 4 days off to rest too.
  16. Everything seems out of sync...that's a given. Hitting starts from the ground up, so his hamstrings must still be a factor. I hope he finds his mojo again over the break.
  17. you just described a major league team posing as a treadmill...going nowhere fast.
  18. Instant replay...another momentum killer, losing a winnable game.
  19. Nice to see he continues to survive. He was a scab replacement player in the 1995 MLB strike. Caught in the middle of millionaires fighting billionaires while fringe players like Gerorge were making peanuts just tried to survive. You have to wonder how this effected his career as a player and manager.
  20. And...it's not just the Twins...Wild, Vikings, Wolves too. Only teams that know how to win in town are our ladies...Lynx and Frost.
  21. Wasn't ripping anyone, just pointing out how outer worldly Ripken was. I do think the mlb mindset has changed over the years. Players are seeing themselves as commodities. They do anything to protect themselves. I'd do the same. But we're off topic now, so, I'll stop.
  22. No disrespect to Correa, but it makes you wonder how MLB has changed over the years. Cal Ripken...also a shortstop...played in 2,632 consecutive games from 1982–1998. That’s every single game for 16 straight seasons. Guess he was a freak of nature. But yes, I hope C4 is back on the field soon.
  23. Wow...reviewing this thread and see AI has been banned from TD...or at least article by the posting author. AI is a tool. Just like a > computer> internet > search engine > wifi >AI. So...where do you draw the line? We've reached the end of the road? The opposite is more realistic, AI is barely getting started.
