    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.
  2. raindog
    Has Ted broken any kind of news before? I’m very skeptical.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. raindog
    I can't wait to buy a Keirsey shirsey.
  6. 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.

    If Balozovic's struggles have anything to do with his knee, this is bordering on negligent treatment of him.
  8. 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.
  9. raindog
    Yeah. It seems bizarre to have him pitch through this.
  10. 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.

    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.
  12. raindog
    So chickenfingers69 is Beck Bradford. Can't believe you doxxed him.
  13. raindog
    No chance they DFA Thielbar. The guy has been excellent for the past two years.
  14. raindog
    Huge move. Seems like a heavy price to pay for two years of Gray. They need to acquire another high end starter if they want to compete. Otherwise these two trades don’t make a lot of sense to me.
  15. raindog
    12 teams make the playoffs now. They should be trying to contend nearly every year.

    Going to aarongleeman.com makes me so nostalgic. I'm glad it's still there, and looks the same.
  17. raindog
    I realize the MLB draft is a bit of a crap shoot and you could do this most drafts, but looking at who was chosen after Cavaco is brutal. A lot of big prospect names. I had it in my mind that Cavaco was chosen pretty late in the 1st round but 13th overall looks so bad. Hopefully he can prove us wrong.

    I find most of these moves to be incredibly optimistic and Twins friendly. Verlander isn't coming to Minnesota if they don't significantly outbid the competition. Gray will get more than 30 million over 3 years. Kepler will absolutely not net Manaea in return. I would like this offseason plan, it's just not happening.
  19. raindog
    I'd be shocked if any of them got an offer from the Twins. It's just not gonna happen. I'm hoping for 2022 they can find a defensive specialist that can hit a better that Anderlton did. And re-evaluate next offseason. I'm still hoping Royce Lewis can be a competent SS.
  20. raindog
    Maybe watch this to gain a new appreciation for him and his character. It’s incredible what he’s overcome.
  21. raindog
    I desperately hope the Twins win a playoff game this year, it only to stem the negativity from fans a bit. It’s gotten over the top and comical at this point. There’s nothing wrong with being critical of the FO but I feel like people aren’t being reasonable. Anyways, I’m happy to see Astudillo make it. Garlick is a surprise but I’ll take the better defense in LF. I think Rooker needs to be a DH. Hopefully he hits enough to be an option there when Cruz is gone.
  22. raindog
    Shoemaker is a veteran who was promised a starting spot in the rotation to sign here. You can’t send him to the minors. He’s good when healthy. When he or anyone else in the rotation gets hurt, Dobnak will be there. Relax. Unless he himself gets hurt, he’ll end up starting more games than someone that is currently in the rotation. They could have not signed Shoemaker but then they have less SP depth. I don’t understand how people are confused or upset about this.
  23. raindog
    Debacle seems like a really strange word to use for this situation.
  24. raindog
    I’m skeptical he’ll ever be much more than what he has been, but I’d sign him to this kind of deal. Solid mid rotation starter.
  25. raindog
    Interesting article if his projected salary was actually significant. I would have simply tendered him a 1.5-3 million dollar deal and DFA’d him if he turned back into a pumpkin. What’s the point of taking a flyer on a guy like Wisler and cutting him loose when he achieves the best possible scenario of performance?
