  1. If you think that right now and four years ago have anything in common, then we won't agree on much.
  2. Read the next post I made. I don't mind them adding Mastro because I know that he'll be replaced by Buxton reasonably soon. I don't mind them clearing out bullpen space for the young hard-throwers. But sending Murphy down is absolutely the right move. Moving Milone (however it takes) in favor of better starting options is absolutely the right move. Sending Fien out is absolutely the right move. I'm a little iffy on Graham, but I really don't know why we're down on the idea behind all this.
  3. I was thinking literally like 2 days ago of posting a new forum topic about how, if we're going to be losing, we ought to be losing young. I didn't do it because I'm busy and not often that eloquent, but I have to say that they look like they've started the process. Roster turnover is a good thing for this team. There is undeniable talent in the minors, and the guys who have already arrived need to both move into their proper spots and take their lumps at the major league level. Those who haven't quite arrived need to stay in the minors and develop, yes, but they also need to be unblocked when they come up. Better Buxton displaces Mastroianni in July than a guy on a three year contract. Better Chargois replaces Abad in July than a guy on a three year contract. We're already losing. Let's take a little more pain now for a better future later. This isn't a panic move. This is step two of like five. We ought to be celebrating.
  4. Sometimes Twins fans can't win for losing. We scream our heads off because we want everyone DFA'd like yesterday. Then we scream our heads off when they actually get DFA'd today.
  5. Until the next season starts.
  6. They had a super rough stretch there, but teams usually have hot streaks too, to kind of even things out. There's no guarantee that that'll happen, but there's also no guarantee that they'll continue to be worse than their statistical expectations, which they have been so far. I'm guessing that they'll hit somewhere right around 75 wins this year. I doubt it'll be below 70.
  7. If you wanted to liquidate it, why couldn't you sell it like any other receivable? You're assuming that the player would be responsible for it, but that wouldn't be the case, unless the player wanted to "buy himself back" at a discount.
  8. We went from spring break to Leave it to Beaver to hair metal. I have whiplash. Well done.
  9. No freakin' way. He'll induce at least a couple ground balls.
  10. OP: "Look how bad the Twins are at hitting with men on base." You: "Ha ha, that's not it at all. What's actually happening is that the Twins are bad at hitting with men on base." Did you read the original post before disagreeing?
  11. 1. I buy it. Assuming you know better than the pitcher and the organization what's going on with Gibson's shoulder is arrogant as hell. 2. Why on earth wouldn't crappy performances and shoulder strains be correlated? That makes perfect sense. 3. Do we really need to find things to complain about when our top pitching prospect has been promoted? Can we not just enjoy the show?
  12. Well said, Riverbrian. This is kind of where I've come around to as well. There's "I don't know everything and will give you the benefit of the doubt," and then there's "what the **** are you even doing? This doesn't make any sense!"
  13. Well, the seeing a Fellini film part, yeah. I kid, I kid.
  14. No way that should have been a double. Well done, Buxton.
  15. Good spot to pinch hit for Murphy? Nah...
  16. Bases loaded again, but it's cool. Murphy's up.
  17. Mauer's got a hell of a game going so far. That's a vintage-Mauer double right there.
  18. It's paying off. Kinda like Joe taking walks. If they'll give him the base, he'll take it. The Brewers will pitch to Murphy, because if he's giving them outs, they'll take 'em.
