  1. It was the splash of a turd dropping into the toilet.
  2. To quote StatFreak: "Season over."
  3. What's great about this trade is all week long we heard how Ryan lusted over Shawn Kelley. When you go baseball ref's player comps who is Jepsen similar to..... Shawn Kelley!
  4. Now apparently Gomez to the Astros along with Fiers for four minor leaguers. We'll see who starts crying now.
  5. I don't think I've ever heard a singular excuse cover 17 seasons. Impressive job, my friend!
  6. In no other organization would signing Ervin Santana, Ricky Nolasco, and Phil Hughes be considered a bold move. That would be an offseason. I also disagree with it being to soon to say Ryan needs to go. If anything it is a decade too late.
  7. Ah, I miss the days of just reading the transactions the following day in the news paper.
  8. Adding the pieces to get you over the hump such as Reardon, Gladden, Baylor, Morris, and Chili. If Ryan had signed a 29 homerun hitting DH and an ace starter this season (Santana is no ace) I bet we'd be right up there with the Royals.
  9. TK is half the problem. "Twins way" is mostly his way of doing things. Hard-working, unassuming, over-achiever. I would like to move as far away from the "Twins way" as possible.
  10. Infinite like.
  11. It's difficult to be a "sucker" GM when you never do anything.
  12. I'm sure Shawn Kelley would help this team....
  13. What Oakland gets is irrelevant because no one will be around long enough to contribute.
  14. I would normally overreact and freak out that Ryan did nothing yet again, but I am fine with them not making any moves at this point. I don't think this team makes the playoffs with or without bullpen tweaks and a small catching upgrade. Only Dozier is potentially having a career year. I'm satisfied with incremental win increases at this point because 2016-2020 should hopefully be our window.
  15. I enjoyed Antony's offseason discussion of our analytics "team". "Our stats guy showed that Brian Dozier was one of only four second baseman with 30 doubles and 20 home runs and SB in the same season since (insert year)."
  16. I'll be surprised if Arcia isn't traded, no matter how much I disagree with it.
  17. No room for cry babies?
  18. He's got to do things the Twins way, not the things that got him to where he is now. Opposite field singles, not 400 foot bombs. Twins way.
  19. I can imagine how the initial phase of the trade talks went: Colorado: "We'll trade you Tulowitzki but we demand Boyer in return." Ryan: "No, thanks."
  20. The guy I thought was going to be the greatest thing ever- Bernardo Brito!
  21. They didn't call him Dock Ellis-D for nothing. Fred Merkle
  22. No, I would not give up Berrios. The conversation might begin with him but it sure as hell won't end with him. And shouldn't.
  23. Catcher? Check Better option than Suzuki? Check. Versatile? Check Plenty of team control? Check Perceived as a gritty gamer? Check Available? Wait til Beane gets bored, then check I wonder which under 22 aged players Beane would request in exchange.
  24. This reminds me of mid-80s baseball before Oakland got to be a power.
