  1. Ugh I forget the number of teams. Why did I think 32 teams? Only 29 losers? That changes every thing. Cheers. Really.
  2. There are 31, er a mere 29,* losers to every free agent signing. Every fan base, each and every offseason, makes these same complaints, as if they are unique to their squad. The same people asking the Twins to strike it big, were advocating for Yu Darvish a couple years ago, who for a year and a half was worthless. (And willfully blind the history of really awful long term contracts for starting pitchers). Forgive me, if I find the crocodile tears from Twins fans on the 2nd day of the winter meetings more than a bit annoying, sanctimonious, and longing for self-awareness. *Edit for stupidity etc.
  3. You're right, nearly all the free agents have signed, and the Twins have done nothing so far.
  4. What's the difference between a well dressed man on a bicycle and a scrub on a unicycle?
  5. Big fan. I follow him on instagram.
  6. The Twins have access to a lot more analysis, data, and scouting than we do. That was nick's point. Using the past failures of Asian players to discount this one seems problematic to me; are you assuming that no player of MLB talent can be born in Korea or come up through their league?
  7. I'm glad the Twins took advantage of his depressed value due to the PEDs; this could end up being a real bargain, and at relatively low risk at just two years.
  8. Thanks, good to know. I'll give it another chance. (And sorry to all for butchering the title).
  9. I enjoyed Outer Worlds recently, done by the original authors of Fallout 1 & 2. Cheesy, charm, and lots of choice throughout. Also picked up the new Star Wars, Force Unleashed, it's like Tomb Raider in Star Wars universe with some Dead Souls combat; I find it a bit shallow, not sure I'll finish.
  10. I had no idea Vue was ending. You figured they'd let their customers know.
  11. How's YouTubeTV compared to Vue?
  12. A couple years ago, I had hoped Gonsalves would turn into a Kevin Slowey, a guy with great minor league numbers who showed promise, if not lived up to, at the MLB level. That the Twins cut bait with him and his co-draftee Stewart gave me dismay, but wasn't surprising. The new regime has worked with these guys for three years; I believe they understand the limits of each's talent. With as much 40-man room and dollars the Twins have, I anticipate a lot of out-of-the-box pitcher acquisitions. We'll acquire pitchers through FA, waiver, rule-5, trade, indy league, etc., and while none (or few) will be household names, I like that the Twins aren't letting sunk cost get in the way of making roster space/taking risks/being bold.
  13. Lazy article. He pegs the Twins payroll around like 80 million, a year after they win the division and have money to spend.
  14. It may not be a conspiracy, but new software esp. when it's forced on old phones will always lead to those phones having problems. My LG G6 runs like crap after the latest android update. Like my fingerprint access no longer works, among other issues.
  15. I saw the GM speaking today, and apologized to some one specifically, though I'm not sure it was the author of the article. But the GM owned the previous error without really qualifying it. Also I think it's pretty obvious Taubman lied to the Astros in their investigation, and that made it really easy to fire him.
  16. I think there was probably more organized circling the wagons than that. I'm sure others agreed to corroborate his story, at someone's direction, no doubt.
  17. Surprised this was done during the WS. And I'm really curious who wrote and approved that initial statement from the Astros. Their job should probably be in jeopardy as well.
  18. This reminds of the supposed book on Polanco: he couldn't play SS either. While Polanco struggled in the field, especially late in the season, he was the AL representative at the position. I hope the Twins give the same opportunity for Lewis to stick at short as they did Polanco.
  19. I liked the third season aside from the crappy stand-alone episodes. In hind-sight, there's inconsistencies and far-fetchedness, but when I watched the plot and reveal unfold in real-time I was riveted.
  20. I think you'll love it. Probably my favorite all time sci-fi series. Great characters, fabulous world building, cunning narrative twists. Just realize that it's probably half or a whole season too long. And the ending was bashed, but I enjoyed it.
  21. CRUZ MISSILE. (And I love a silent Yankee stadium)
  22. Thanks for sharing that tidbit.
  23. It looks like they are bringing Smeltzner in, and I'm fine with that.
