    Counterpoint, someone made an edit of the Trout/Ohtani a-bat as if there was a pitch clock: Still feels intense. And watching the 91 World Series doesn't feel any less intense because of how quick the pace was back then.

    That was a lot more negative than I expected! But maybe my Spring optimism has gone too far. I hope they can stay healthier this year.

    You’re a rube if you believe this. Forbes is a joke of a publication.

    Something interesting I discovered on Fielding Bible and Statcast...despite playing 1B last year for the first time in his career, he was phenomenal at it. In only 215 innings, he had 5 runs saved according to DRS which ranked 5th among first basemen. Statcast had him at 4 Outs Above Average and 3 runs prevented. Both tied for 2nd among all first basemen. Analytical teams like the Astros have put a surprising emphasis on 1B defense in recent years. Looks like the Twins are taking it seriously, as well. EDIT: Oh and his UZR/150 was 13.9. Easily the highest at 1B. Another thought...with the shift limitations, a 1B that has more range might be a big bonus as well.

    Having a Jeopardy contestant on your trivia team is basically cheating, John. Btw, I think you should post these Tik Toks on Instagram too.

    I like the idea of starting him at CF and letting Buxton DH when facing LHP. Taylor isn’t great against lefties or anything but has a career .722 OPS against them. Not bad when considering his elite defense.

    Acquire McCutchen or someone similar and they’ll have an awesome lineup against LHP. C Vázquez 1B Miranda 2B Polanco SS Correa 3B Farmer LF McCutchen/Garlick/random vet CF Buxton RF Gallo DH, I’m not sure. Could put Celestino in LF and McCutchen at DH. Or one of the lefties. Or Arraez but I like giving his knees a rest against LHP.

    Bring him home Twins.

    I’d take the chance if I was the Twins. But I imagine the Mets will renegotiate something.
  10. raindog
    Right on the money. Their 285 million offer shows that they weren’t serious.
  11. raindog
    I can’t believe people think Arraez would get it done for Lopez. I’m even more surprised people think that would be a bad deal for the Twins.

    Ted reported it as fact in the tweet this article is based on. That’s what I’m referring to. I’m not saying it wasn’t worthy of being posted here or that you’re calling it fact.
  13. raindog
    Has Ted broken any kind of news before? I’m very skeptical.
  14. raindog
    People talking about his career numbers prior to this year are ignoring the fact that this is his first year in the bullpen. He has the stuff to break dominant out of the pen and was for the majority of this year. Hopefully he can get back on track with us.
  15. raindog
    I think him being 23 years old had a lot to do with it. Just see what he can do in AA at this point. But he sure looks like a bust.
  16. raindog
    I can't wait to buy a Keirsey shirsey.
  17. raindog
    I mean, it would hurt, but the Twins would still be getting a deal here. I think the Twins would definitely do this. I doubt it's enough for the Reds.
  18. raindog
    If Balozovic's struggles have anything to do with his knee, this is bordering on negligent treatment of him.
  19. raindog
    It continues to baffle me that they're letting Balazovic pitch through his knee issues. It can't be good for his confidence, and I'm always skeptical that playing through something like that isn't making the injury worse.
  20. raindog
    Can we get the bullpen usage spreadsheet added to the Twins Resources page? That's such a cool thing you guys do, but you have to find the previous day's game recap to see it. I also think it would be worth including in the game threads, more so than the recaps.
  21. raindog
    Yeah. It seems bizarre to have him pitch through this.
  22. raindog
    Ultimately, this is a three game series, and not that big of a deal. But if they have to play Toronto in the postseason...yikes.
  23. raindog
    If Gray was unvaccinated, it seems strange they would have waited before putting him on the IL. And Joe Ryan had to be vaccinated to be in the Olympics.
  24. raindog
    So chickenfingers69 is Beck Bradford. Can't believe you doxxed him.
  25. raindog
    No chance they DFA Thielbar. The guy has been excellent for the past two years.
