    The Hicks situation is utterly perplexing, I was just thinking that myself. I believe they owe him around 20MM. He has been actively horrible since his last good season, 2020. I could see giving him a mulligan on 2021 after coming off four good seasons in a row to see if he can get the magic back, but it would be peanuts to that team to eat the rest of his contract at this point and give his spot to somebody who might add some level of production. Not that I'm complaining. You do you, Yankees.

    It's a story as old as time - guy brakes into the majors on the strength of his ability to crush a fastball, fizzles out because he can't figure out a major league breaking ball.
  3. I wish the twins were good
    This whole endeavor is pointless while Buxton and Correa are blackholes. So I guess watch em sink like a rock until that changes. Not even May and I'm in "I'll check in again in a week" mode with this team again.
  4. I wish the twins were good
    What about the one immediately before that Polanco had to cut off near 1st base? Larnach can't hit a breaking ball and now he's throwing like he's blindfolded. Time to give this guy the heave-ho for awhile.
  5. I wish the twins were good
    If by some miracle this mess of a game leads them to putting Ober in the rotation and cutting Pagan finally, I'd take it over a win any day of the week.

    Secret weapon pitch: The Snake Bite. Ball dives around left handed batters, only to reverse direction mid air and "bite" them on the right buttock.
  7. I wish the twins were good
    I am in the Chicago area. I noticed them mention he was from Joliet on the broadcast...and they mentioned the hands thing. Could be the new market inefficiency in pitching. Massive-handed Chicago boys!
  8. I wish the twins were good
    And that's with abysmal offense outside of 3-4 games.
  9. I wish the twins were good
    This lineup isn't the only thing striking out at an incredible rate. 16 first round picks between 2010-2020 and they completely whiffed on all but Buxton, Berrios, and Gordon(?). Jury still out on a few others (Kirilloff, Lewis, Larnach). That's a big problem.
  10. I wish the twins were good
    We may just be watching a prospect in the process of not panning out. I think they can work around it. Doesn't need to be a disaster unless they try and force a non-performing player onto the roster (cough cough... Kepler). He's a 1st basemen with a promising bat. Always a half dozen guys out there that can play passable 1b and hit enough to be worth a spot. It's painful to miss out on another first rounder, and they can ill afford to keep doing that, but it's a sunk cost. If he was an up the middle player or someone they were banking on fronting a rotation, this would be harder to swallow.
  11. I wish the twins were good
    I can't recall catching anyone ever do that before during a live play
  12. I wish the twins were good
    So middle finger or were my eyes deceiving me?
  13. I wish the twins were good
    Did Devers just flip Correa the bird while he was standing on second? Correa kinda awkwardly leaned on him after applying the tag.

    No matter how bad a day I may be having, I can take solace in the fact that at least I am not in need of a procedure to 'realign my teeth'. Guy deserves a medal for that - purple baseball.

    Unquestionable all timer. Probably in that Tony O territory where you wonder what pedestal he'd be on historically if he stayed healthy and could have extended his career another 5-6 years. But had a half a decade stretch of being the best in the biz. He got me hooked on baseball as an older teen and I'm still hooked 20-odd years later.
  16. I wish the twins were good
    I figured just scheduled off day against a righty? If he's not playing tomorrow I'll be concerned.
  17. I wish the twins were good
    No shame in losing to a cy young winner if it happens, but sure is something to get excited about if they can start 5-0.

  19. I wish the twins were good
    I hope you are right!
  20. I wish the twins were good
    2-1. Don't think they beat alcantara
  21. I wish the twins were good
    I've been in the Chicago area for all but 10 of my 40 years (when I was in MN), and this past winter was the most mild I can ever remember. I think we had a total of two instances of accumulating snow (I only needed to go out and shovel the walk twice the entire winter), and there have been multiple days we got into the 60's, including in February at least once. I believe only got below zero for a total of a few hours overnight one night in December. I've heard all winter how rough it's been in MN from different people. One of the snowiest on record! What a difference 400 miles south can make.
  22. I wish the twins were good
    He'll be up sooner than later. My only real concern is they don't have Maeda and/or Mahle on a short enough leash if they're struggling. I've got reasonable confidence in the other three for now. If they were willing to stick it out with Pagan all year after that mess, I gotta think there's no way they don't let those two try and fight through it even if it looks obvious to everyone else they got nothing in the tank.
  23. I wish the twins were good
    They are truly embarrassing themselves with the pagan thing at this point. I'm at a complete loss. You'd think the Minnesota twins would jump at the chance to save a few million it defies explanation
  24. I wish the twins were good
    There is a quote in the recent athletic article about him saying he vents his frustrations to his wife. What do you think they're talking about? He grouses about his bosses at his job like everybody else does!
  25. I wish the twins were good
    But it does make a statement of confidence to the players which I'm sure is not nothing to them. Ober has a deserved chip on his shoulder now. Why create the unnecessary animosity with the players. Let the most deserving guys get the roster spots stop playing games
