  1. I'll remove any doubt. You are welcome to Twinsdaily.
  2. I'm not sure... the pulled hamstring might have something to do with it. I seriously struggled to take off my socks. If it doesn't untighten while I sleep tonight... I can already tell you that putting on my socks tomorrow morning will be the worst part of my day tomorrow.
  3. I'll be honest... I'm not enjoying the running as much as I used to.
  4. I actually played softball tonight for the first time in around 8 years. I'm 54 years old... I Pulled a hamstring but made it home just in time to see Sano hit one out. Don't tell me I don't have my eye black on. I'm a gamer.
  5. In the trade being discussed. The Pirates traded major league ready players. It’s a no brainer that the Twins will give up prospects for major league talent but the dynamic changes when you trade major league ready talent for major league ready talent. The Pirates had two players in hand that immediately out performed the player they got back. This is an assessment problem. The GM screwed up big time. They would have been better off last year, today and tomorrow by not making that trade for an incremental potential increase. For prospects... they still got miles of land mines to survive before they contribute one inch at the MLB level and you won’t weaken your current team trying to improve it. In this case they thought Archer was better then Glasnow... they were wrong. They had 3 OF’ers and thought they could afford to lose Meadows... they were wrong. And they threw in a decent prospect to boot. This happened because the Rays didn’t need to trade Archer. For this year... See Boyd.
  6. Thank You for this article. I hope everybody reads it. We have been over run with "It's Over" type comments because we started playing .500 ball lately.
  7. Tampa didn't have to trade Archer. He could have been dealt in the off-season. As a matter of fact. Tampa was actually in contention when they made the deal. Pittsburgh had to pay a high price or it wasn't going to happen. How do you avoid this from happening? You can't if you really really want the player but understanding leverage and what side of that leverage you are on, helps.
  8. He's very talented... Worried a little about his delayed puberty.
  9. ASH!!! ASH!!! We need you... Gotta reverse this jinx now. OK we don't have time. Quickly... Go to the freezer, grab some ice and rub down a piece of bread with it.
  10. I know He has a very impressive screw ball.
  11. Here's something you should hear more often. Thank You for your Service!
  12. If you knew what they did to Grandma's Cable Bill... You'd hate them more.
  13. I've read that sort of thing happens on the internet.
  14. I've watched the Astros move Peacock back and forth. The Dodgers move Maeda around. Pomeranz, Minor and a bunch of others... The precedent has been smashed... only convention holds it in place.
  15. Seriously tho... They can come up a routine to fit anything. There is no reason to limit our possibilities. Baseball has been good at limiting possibilities.
  16. That's that Canadian stuff with the gravy and fries.
  17. I honestly don't understand why anyone would be bothered by that stuff. Here's the ball... keep getting guys out until I give the ball to someone else. 1 inning - 5 innings whatever.
  18. Duffey... You guys practice that a lot. Remember getting in line at the mound with all the other pitchers, faking a throw to the plate, running in an arc to first base... catching the ball and finding the bag. And then doing it again. I use to make fun of the pitchers doing that drill.
