  1. Yeah I have always thought that post season stats not counting for "counting" stats like all time hits, home runs, etc is pretty dumb.
  2. Chilli Davis
  3. Not to mention the Twins have a superior defense by far over the Yankees. Garcia would have done well here, the equation for even moderate success is simple with this club as a pitcher: 1. Keep the ball in the park 2. Don't walk anyone The defense will bail you out more often than not. It was still a dumb trade that was caused because of a couple bad games against the two hottest teams in baseball (IIRC the Twins had their chances in a few of those games anyways), the Kintzler one was even more perplexing. The one good thing though is it clearly pissed off Mauer and Dozier and both have been on fire since then.
  4. Yup. Nothing the new regime has done has inspired confidence in me. This is just another example of how they aren't pros, and aren't ready to run orgs. The Twins lose a couple tough games against the Dodgers and Astros and they hit the PANIC button and trade away our closer for NO reason. Now they don't even have the class to fire a long term manager in the org (not to mention a fan favorite!) Dougie M deserved much better than this. Hopefully it won't happen again in the future. These guys seem completely out of touch.
  5. Not even close to the same thing.
  6. And random conjecture is a more credible source? I will go with Doug on this one (have met him several times over the years,he's a straight shooter)
  7. Dude he was fired. Call it not renewing a contract all you want. It's a classless way to go about it.
  8. why is a manager sticking up for his players a bad thing?
  9. Having an underling fire someone via phone (esp someone as loyal as Doug) is pure cowardice, this org is a joke. Classless.
  10. Not impressed with Falvey and Levine at all. This is ridiculous and shows their true character.
  11. I think they trade some young position players for a front of the rotation type guys. May, Mejia, Santana, May, gibson aren't front rotation guys, and Berrios has a ways to go to be a #2 imo,
  12. Oh! For some reason I thought he was FA eligible after 18. Ignore my suggestion!
  13. Yup, pretty much a no brainer. Kid has been awesome these last couple months. Question is; do you try to lock him up now for a couple years? I wouldn't be opposed to a 3 year, 21-24 mil deal. He has turned a corner, and if he does in 2018 what he has done in the second half of 2017 he will be very expensive on the open market.
  14. Dozier is on fire lately as well. Bunting would be absurd.
  15. Need to win soon. No need to tax the limited arms they have that much more.
  16. To be fair, this dude shouldn't be closing games to begin with.
  17. Still need pitching though. Though maybe that's where polanco, Gordon, dozier, Escobar etc could help.
  18. Yeah Molitors obsession with bunting and his over using guys in the pen is frustrating. The twins are winning in spite of it IMO. Which is good,
  19. Steve Carlton
  20. Ruben Sierra
  21. Molitor would have to actually have him play against lefties. There is NO reason why they shouldn't have played Kepler against Travis Wood.
  22. Aaron Hicks /ducks
