    He's trying some new things. / .... that apparently aren't working
  3. ashbury
    Third option, do the Twins offer him that 50-75M contract?

    The 2023 Twins were tied for third in all the majors in innings per start. When Rocco has the horses, he lets them run.

    The article is about strategies.

    Shorten the entire pre-season itself? Or just replace a week's worth of games with continued drills in early March?

    The bats started slow last year and got slower, right up to the mid-season mark when suddenly it was like them breaking out big grins and saying to us "what were you worried about, huh?" So one can read those tea leaves either way one wants. The weak batting results in spring training lead me to expect another slow start, which will be hard to take after getting our hopes up like that. Maybe they think they can "work on some new things, give us time" then turn it on at will. I used to have cars like that, back in the days of carburetors and the setting of chokes; I arrived at work late some mornings as a result, though the engine ran fine once it was started.

    Also a good setup for any Cardi B jokes you may have on hand.

    The FO heard the voice of the fans and moved on from a strikeout machine.

    Looking forward to variations on this joke not being in play, once the regular season starts.

    I'm on the same page with you about that. Going through the turnstyles is for me the least important part of the experience. I would miss it if I never bought a ticket and went inside, for an entire week's stay or whatever. But the action is elsewhere, and/or earlier in the day.

    For summertime I can contribute the cool breeze of sweet reason that I bring to this site with my posts.

    What metrics do you think the team uses to measure the effectiveness? As opposed of course to measuring the spin rates and inches of break and so forth. I mean, they can't wait like us until the regular season performance numbers are all in; that would be merely hindsight.

    I lived at the Scotland Green apartments in Mounds View (the clear target of this satire) for a few years, and it was swell, so I feel I can bring some expertise to this matter. How much extra do I need to pay Bert, in light of this?

    Chicken and egg, though. Would an NFL-like arrangement, going back 50 years ago, have kept baseball as the national sport it once was? And if so, can any form of catch-up help now? I'm inclined to think so, in both cases. Weighing against is that people who bought top-end franchises aren't so inclined to share with those who bought in at far lower prices (such as our Pohlads) and who now have their hands out for an equal share of the revenue pie. I don't know how to equalize that.

    Varland continues to make a strong case for going north with the big club (potentially putting my skepticism to shame).

    I think I've shared this one recently but it remains hands down the Best Joke Evar. NSFW, I repeat, Not Safe For Work. "Well, wouldja like to hear me tell a joke?":
  21. ashbury
    Which part?

    When I departed Cincy I left behind a little voodoo item. They'll never find it, to be able to take the hex off.

    I'm not sure this applies to Farmer. From the article: "The new set of rules fully guarantees the deals of players who agree to terms absent a hearing." Wasn't Nick Gordon the only eligible Twins player to actually go to arbitration?

    Chris Williams continues to get chances behind the plate. He's a sleeper prospect I keep an eye on now and then. Overall, it's not apparent anyone is making much of a case to be added to the 26-man roster who isn't already somewhere on the likely-to-lock spectrum. "It's only spring" but the trend toward having difficulty scoring runs (or even getting baserunners, today) remains in effect.

    Have the minor league games on the back fields started yet?
