    Way to go Joe, well earned, well deserved

    I'm guessing he's not too remorseful about the $21 million he cashed in on after his "career year". Ill gotten gains imo, bit of a fraud.

    They get the Twins #3 prospect, a hard throwing pitcher no less, and then say they want another top 10 prospect as well? I hope Falvine made sure Bloom heard the laughter before they hung up the phone.

    Seems to me this is what trades for prospects look like, they aren't going to dig up a number 1 or 2 starter for that price. Free agency didn't work out for them like they would have liked so we have this, which improves their pitching now, which is desperately needed. Maeda can be an important piece for the Twins for the next couple or 3 years, you worry about replacing a Graterol type in the pipeline later. I like the deal.

    Oh my Falvine.
  6. twinsnorth49
    Well, they have more pitching....

    Former Gophers Chris Streveler and Drew Wolitarsky celebrating at the Grey Cup parade for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers captured the CFL championship this past Sunday. Strev was hilarious and clearly having a good time, lol.

    Nah. Score effects. 28-9, 5 minutes into the 3rd. The 4th Q was a victory lap.

    Highest Gopher ranking in my lifetime as well, and would be for anyone under the age of 57. Truly a remarkable run by this team.
  11. twinsnorth49
    Gophers will enter the top 10 with that huge win. ROW THE BOAT!!!

    Just a writer throwing out names of guys subject to qualifying offers, but it's interesting to see Odorizzi's name being brought up in Jays land. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/mlb/blue-jays-prioritize-bolstering-rotation-heading-into-gm-meetings/ar-BBWtsg8?ocid=spartandhp

    Suck it Badgers, lol.

    Worse than that, they’re just sitting on strikes right in the middle of the zone, because Twins pitchers haven’t been able to work many other parts of it. Breaking balls are fine but you need to be able to get some over for strikes occasionally and be able to do it in the odd unfavourable count. They have done nothing to disrupt the rhythm of the Yankees hitters, instead relying on them chasing. The pitch execution plays a big part but I just don’t think the plan has been very solid. I’d like to see some data on their fastball and change up usage, frequency and location. I’d guess it’s been pretty pathetic. I haven’t seen any indication that they have any idea how to attack this lineup.
  15. twinsnorth49
    Yeah, but it’s more than just that.
  16. twinsnorth49
    Pitching and plate approach have been a hot mess two games in a row. The Yankees look far more prepared in both areas, it’s been impressive to watch them execute their game plan. The Twins are letting themselves down, do not seem focused at all. Disappointing.

    Not usually one to second guess and point the finger at Rocco, but I largely will this time. The players play and need to step up and do what is expected of them, but the wrong players were in the wrong situations last night. Rocco needs to be smarter.
  18. twinsnorth49
    Is this an actual story? Are the Twins looking for an investigation into the trade? I think they got screwed personally.
  19. twinsnorth49
    Lol, possible and likely are entirely different things. Not to mention, people have been saying things like this since July, and still the Twins lead. This view paints pretty much the worse case scenario, not exactly a good bet.
  20. twinsnorth49
    2 Twins wins combined with 2 Cleveland losses? Ya, I’ll take those odds. Relax.
  21. twinsnorth49
    Not sure if serious? They literally hit 4 the night before.
  22. twinsnorth49
    Favourite part tonight, by far, was the Game Thread implosion when May came in to close, and then struck out the side. Good stuff.
  23. twinsnorth49
    That's the way most coaches teach it, no use looking into RF while rounding 2nd, your 3rd base coach already is.
  24. twinsnorth49
    My bet is most people would have barely said a thing if he just stopped at 2nd.
  25. twinsnorth49
    Speaking of BS. Guys admire hits they think are going over the fence all the time and then don't. He should have just stopped up at 2nd. And the comments being made aren't only about this specific incident, neither are mine.
