    I stopped posting here, and I'll tell ya why. Casual fan, don't live and die by the Twins. Like the prospect talk. There are some people here who are fun and are fun to discuss baseball with, especially those appreciative of musically historical neighborhoods. OTOH, there is way to much rank and rating going on here. If I post an opinion and get shredded with downvotes by caretakers, community leaders, and old-times members, well, it doesn't make ya feel welcome does it? It has the stale stench of a good old boys network.

    pish posh In 1892 Cy Young threw 453 innings, had a 1.93 ERA, went 36-12, threw 48 complete games and 9 shutouts, As a 25 year old. For the Cleveland Spiders of the NL.

    The Twins need that smile. Best of luck Matt.

    Micro-analyzing the game can lead to mental illness. Wins and losses, Good batting averages, home run and rbi numbers, ERA and innings pitched, wish the Twins would use these metrics.

    There will be some undrafted college seniors that can be signed to catch the lower minors, or other guys that get cut loose.

    Bad guys don't go down well here. Josh Donaldson was in and out. Like the arm more than the man.

    New Max. I like em shiny and new.

    Rocco sounded pretty exasperated after the Braves series. Like to see players take responsibility.

    This team needs to scrap to win. The 2023 Twins are truly a day at a time team. Not bored by this at all.

    Cory Lewis is putting up some eye-popping numbers in first year as a pro: 72 Ks in 49 IP, opponents hitting just .174 against him.

    Was at the Kernels game. Willy Joe Garry did stuff that doesn't show up on the scoresheet. He got picked off before he scored his first run, but did some moves and beat the throw to second. Came home on the double. He scored on a sac fly that was basically a shallow pop to center. He was flying all over the field, and played a perfect CF. Boy, if he could just get the hitting going consistently. His base hits were hard hit balls up the middle. BTW, that Hidalgo was able to get out his 1st inning mess with just 2 runs was an amazing scramble. Walking the first 4 batters of the game plus one more later is an unusual feat.

    Still have a Plouffe t-shirt jersey. Fun Fact: Plouffe is the French word for splash.,

    Last I saw was the Twins getting a new Max. The top 5 are all standouts: what luck.
  15. Monkeypaws
    No reason to take him out of the rotation now. Mahle and Meida are broken. Ober is in his prime.
  16. Monkeypaws
    Well played with the reverse jinx post.

    The White Sox are the worst performing team compared to payroll in MLB: .276 winning % for the 14th highest payroll. . Only Colorado and SF come close. This is especially notable when looking 3 of the 4 bottom payrolls, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Seems like every year however, the Twins bring some dormant team to life. Hopefully this isn't the time.

    Give the guy a month of warm weather and see.

    2023: A Baseball Audacy.

    Thanks Jocko, that sounds much less dire.
  21. Monkeypaws
    What's up with Prielipp's elbow? Never like the sound of that.

    Kind of surprised (and happy) to find out that the Twins have 4 more years of control on Joe Ryan after this season. His career line so far reads like a season of a Cy Young contender: 20-9 3.50 ERA 205.2 IP 153 hits allowed 217 K 56 BB etc.

    Machado is good money now at 17 mil for a 30 year old. But at age 34 his pay gets bumped to 39 million and will stay there until he turns 40. Ouch. Same with Bogearts. 30 years old, 25 million per until he is 40. Tatis will make 36 million from age 30 to 35. Darvish will be making 15 million or so until he is in his 40s. Musgrove and Croenworth have team friendly contracts by comparison, but are also 30ish, and will also make bank on the downside. Soto has 2 more years of team control, and who knows. My point is that the Padres have built their hopes on guys 30 or older supplemented by a couple young studs. Their window is now, because when 36-40 year old Boegarts and Machado are gobbling up 64 million per, and much other money has been tied into contracts like that of Darvish, and lots of good prospects have been traded away, it isn't really a model of sustainability. If they don't win something in the next few years, they are hosed for a long time.

    Not to mention guys that could come back from injury, namely Paddack and Canterino.

    Glad to have these reports back. I've been digging the inclusion of Twins affiliates on MLB. Some of the MiLB camerawork is wonky, but I can now say I've seen Willie Joe Garry on TV.
