  1. As soon as it he hit, watched it and took forever to circle the bases you knew that someone was going to get beaned. And you believe that it was magic that he was the batter that was HBP? Not me!
  2. Don't throw at another player of you don't want to be suspended. Not an over-reaction by MLB. Erase those stupid unwritten rules. Start by getting rid of these old-men managers. Bochy had his pitcher drill Ryan Jeffers after he celebrated a big homerun.
  3. No because the Austin Martin link will probably continue to always be wrong and you will somehow never be able to fix it.
  4. Also, look at past honorable mention winners. There are virtually no names that ever made it to a cup-of-coffee let alone a reasonable MLB career.
  5. Absolutely. If you are using that end of the bullpen in the playoffs then you are already losing big and it doesn't matter who they are.
  6. Now that we are here, the sh#t-show republican debate is probably what effected mid-week hotel prices.
  7. When looking for a hotel room for 3 nights I noticed that many places had higher prices for Tuesday and Wednesday nights than for the weekend. I was confused until I realized, 'Duh, it's for the influx of Twins fans'.
  8. So individually, the trade of Hardy to Baltimore for nothing was the worst trade. Or be complete and bring it back a step and include the Johan trade which is what brought in Carlos Gomez in the first place.
  9. Excellent article! Sadly you used the term economics and too many will be confused by the lack of a lazy, false argument about 'cheap Pohlads'.
  10. OMG! Cole Sands is not going to get you someone who was recently in the top 10 of all minor leaguers. The Angels (as always) need real MLB-ready talent (like maybe Jo Adell??) and have absolutely no incentive to trade him for a box of pencils.
  11. EVERY relief pitcher is a failed starter. Please retire that old trope.
  12. There was an article early last year that talked about Jeffers making major changes to his batting style/approach. Is there anything more recent about the status of these changes?
  13. Excellent point about Kirillof's baseball IQ. I recall multiple times when he was on base and reacted immediately and decisively taking the extra base in a ball in the dirt. This is instinct not learned behavior. Big hopeful fan!
  14. Why would you think about trade any asset for a 4th outfielder when you have a glut of outfielders (even if you trade one)? If you make any outfield trade, it should be for a quality starting right handed bat without discounting the young outfield talent. Treat the youngsters as real talent. If you don't get fully valued in a trade do not do it. Or trade for a quality pitcher???
  15. FYI: Please fix your Austin Martin B-R link in the article. It brings me to martin006aus not martin004aus.
  16. 1. Awful damn weather, though they had 20,000 in yesterday's cold rain!! 2. COVID carry over/Disappointment of 2021 season. Fear of crime? If you are afraid, you can park in ABC right next to Target Field and walk to your car with 10,000 other people. Just like always. Inflation fears?? maybe... I have not heard people talking about making major changes due to inflation. Just talk about the price of gas. Wolves and Wild did obviously take away attention.
  17. I don't remember the Twins beating the pitching prospect drum. They did not get a starter in free-agency and that failure is why we have Correa and they felt the need to get another MLB starter. If we got a first-wave free-agent starter we would not have Correa now. There will be plenty of need for minor-league starters. They used 16 different starters last year. At least one of Bundy/Archer will be gone soon. Has anyone money had a successful comeback from Thoracic Outlet? If either one is kept, it will only be good news because it means they are successful.
  18. a simply 'no' would have been easier than the few hundred words you pushed out here. Better yet, how about not doing comparisons between players that have very little in common.
