    Can you fire someone who doesn't have a contract? It isn't really a firing if he just coached/played out his contract and didn't get offered a new deal, right?

    Thanks Seth! I really need to create my own website, but I appreciate you letting me post it here for the time being.

    I had my 16th podcast last night. I did the podcast on a Tuesday night, which has not been the norm for me (typically I do the show on Thursday nights) but this one made sense for my guests, Town Ball Tuesdays. It also felt more appropriate. Ryan and Marty are two guys who run a facebook and instagram page, as well as a wordpress blog detailing their travels every Tuesday throughout the summer months to different townball games in and around Minnesota. The photos they take on their site are really great, and it was fun hearing about their experiences over the last 3 years of travels in the people they meet and the fields they got to see. We also chatted how concessions stands across the state, there are some really great options for cheese curds at a few fields, but a surprising lack of sweet corn options (business opportunity?) Please give it a listen! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/09/20/episode-16-town-ball-Tuesdays https://twitter.com/TownBallTuesday https://townballtuesdays.wordpress.com/ https://www.instagram.com/townballtuesdays/

    I had my 15th podcast last night. Nick Tuckner was my guest. He is the sports director at KDWA radio in Hastings, MN. (AM 1460/FM 97.7, as well as on tune-in radio.) I've known Nick since my high school days, so it was fun to catch up and re-hash our younger playing days, as well as get caught up on his radio job now calling Hastings, MN and Prescott, WI sports. Nick had a really fun story to tell at the end as well about the time he remembered falling in love with baseball. Stories like that are why I wanted to start the podcast in the first place. Please give it a listen! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/09/15/episode-15-nick-tuckner @tucksports http://kdwa.com/ For those of you that are interested; his Hastings Raiders are playing at my Park (Cottage Grove) Wolfpack tonight in football. Nick will be calling the game. I haven't been to a high school football game since, well, I was in high school. That said, I will probably keep an eye out for Nick's call. He is great!

    Had my 14th podcast last night. Seth Stohs was my guest. We talked his baseball playing days in high school and college, how he came to work for Marvin Windows as well as starting to write and blog about his different passions, and how he helped start Twins Daily. Amazing enough, we didn't talk Minnesota Twins baseball all that much, but we promised to save that for the next time we chat. Please give it a listen! @sethtweets http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/09/08/episode-14-seth-stohs

    I had my 13th podcast last night. Steve Buhr, aka SD Buhr, aka Jim Crikket was my guest. It was fun to catch up as I haven't seen him since early May. We talked Kernels baseball, Twins baseball, Royce Lewis, his baseball playing days growing up in Albert Lea, day-dreaming about Fort Myers/Sanibel and the craft beer scene in and around Cedar Rapids. Please check it out! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/09/01/episode-13-steve-buhr https://twitter.com/JimCrikket http://www.knuckleballsblog.com

    Small sample size, but since July 1st (32 plate appearances) Joe Mauer has hit 308/438/346 for a 784 OPS against lefties. Yes, small sample size obviously, but his defense is so good anyway (and Vargas or Garver is so far below average at this point) that I think for now you need to have Mauer in the lineup as often as possible. That said, if they Twins were facing Sale/Duffy etc, I'd sit him.

    I had my 12th podcast last night. Graig Kreindler was my guest. He is a professional artist who paints primarily baseball players and moments from the past. He was really fun to talk with, and I learned a lot about his medium and how he chooses the players he gets to paint next. His work is in museums across the country, and it was really fun to hear about his exhibit that is going to be at the Negro League hall of fame in (projected) spring 2020. Check out his website as well as his facebook and twitter. Graig is a super nice guy and his artwork is out of this world awesome! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/08/25/episode-12-graig-kreindler-graigkreindlercom http://graigkreindler.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GraigKreindler https://twitter.com/GraigKreindler

    It's fun to have a super fast reaction after a player's first ever appearance in the majors. I think you would be perfect on most national sports talk stations.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Love this, thanks for sharing!

    Had my 11th podcast last night. My guest was Connor Looker and we talked baseball, statistics, baseball nostalgia and how talking baseball is a great way to bridge the gap between generations. Connor is a great twitter follow @C_look22 as he posts a ton of interesting statistics about players fairly often. Please give the show a listen. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/08/11/episode-11

    Thanks Seth! It's been fun to do so far. I appreciate it.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I do feel like he actually gave some answers though, compared to what Spielman typically does. He isn't going to say things like... "well obviously Molitor is gone, and we are going to spend big on a bat that hits lefties and a starting pitcher and a couple relievers this offseason because what we have in some of those spots now is basically garbage" But, I still thought it was a decent sit down interview. Thanks for sharing!
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Tom, just wanted to say, I LOVE the work you did with this recap and your other game recaps. Keep up the awesome job! The graphs and charts showing lineup construction and bullpen usage is really interesting as well. Thanks!

    Oh man, smack talk on the MLB GM waiver wire message board would be a fun read, wouldn't it?
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Brandon, How does the process work, officially? Does Lavine (or whoever is in charge of seeing the list of players on waivers) get a spreadsheet/email/text to go through daily/twice daily and can sign off on anyone at once? Is it over the phone? Are there smoke signals? How does the team with the third priority find out that the first and 2nd team haven't claimed a player, and so on? With so many players in MLB, this seems like a pretty daunting task to go through all the players on waivers, quickly, go through your team's payroll and what you are looking for, and decide if it can work. Maybe is there an app for that?

    I did my 10th podcast last night. My guest was Jon Sintes. It was a really fun interview. The first 10 minutes or so was just me with my thoughts on the Twins moves before the deadline, and then when Jon was on the show we talked about his career in baseball as well as his training program. Jon is VERY active on twitter/instagram/facebook, and he is a trainer for baseball, specifically right now with youth in the San Diego area. He is from Florida initially, and now helps train people in throwing, pitching and getting more velocity as well as how to throw different pitches. I will give the link to my podcast, but please also check out his pages as well. Have a great day! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/08/04/episode-10 https://www.instagram.com/jsintes34/ https://squareup.com/store/emerald-coast-baseball-academy/ https://www.facebook.com/jonsintes

    For me, Thorpe, Stewart and Dereck Rodriguez are given to be added, even if it means losing a AA reliever. The Twins need starting pitching, and that is the hardest to find bar none. If any of these guys don't make it as a starter, then you can put them in the bullpen at that point.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I don't think Paulino can be traded while he is serving his 80 game suspension
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    At the same time, you think the twins pitching numbers are bad now; imagine how bad they would be if you get a massive downgrade in defense from the center field position, going from Buxton to whoever you put in center instead.

    I had my episode #9 last night. My guest was my sister, Jennie Engelhardt. I've been wanting to invite friends and family on the show for a while (doesn't have to be just baseball focused all the time, right?) and I had a blast visiting with her and catching up. She did talk some about the Dodgers a bit, and repping Twins shirts in Dodger stadium (she lives in Venice, CA and attended the Twins game on Wednesday of this week) but we also talked life, her career(s) and why I am a complete idiot when it comes to the Game of Thrones. Please give it a listen. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/07/28/episode-9
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed. Absolutely give away a 26 year old before you give away a good prospect catcher the year after he was drafted. Have you seen what Rortvedt has done since early May? He is the catcher of the future.

    I had episode #8 of my podcast last night, Baseball is Good. The guest last night was Puckett's Pond writer Benjamin Chase. It was a fun interview, and it was topical as he is a lifelong Braves fan (thanks to his great Grandmother, who was a huge Hank Aaron fan) and also a big twins fan. He has written in the past for Braves sites as well, so knows their team and system kind of inside and out. We talked Jaime Garcia, what he could bring to the Twins if he is healthy (and pitching away from Sun Trust Park) and overall his love of prospects and baseball as a whole. Please give it a listen! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/baseballisgood/2017/07/21/episode-8

    5 innings, 4 runs, 8 hits, 3 k 3 bb. Some very hard hit double plays and still comes out to a standing ovation getting through 5.
