    Best news I’ve heard out of Minneapolis in weeks.
  2. Ex-Iowegian
    I’ll believe it when I see it. Merry Christmas, y’all.

    I get your point, but Rooker was traded, and Bader was granted free agency. Maybe they didn’t see him as being worth the 10 plus million. To me, that is different than being dfa’d. Good things can happen, of course, but I think it’s more of an outlier when considering how many players get ‘fired’. I guess it’s about where the bar should be. The Twins haven’t been good at placing any bar, for just about any aspect of professional baseball, for an awfully long time.

    Not defending Clemens by any stretch, but his stats over the entire season are right there with Wallner’s. Yet Moose gets a pass? It is baffling that a guy that was dfa’d by another team, comes here and is at or above team ‘average’ (depending on which stat is chosen). Blows my mind….

    Not one of these 3 players are position players that should be starting for a perennial winning MLB team. That bar is so much higher than what this FO is capable of managing it’s laughable.
  6. Ex-Iowegian
    Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del could be considered ‘picking a lane’ too, I guess. From a fan perspective, this is egregiously bad. No matter how it gets spun by the current FO. Feels more like a can just got kicked down the road so the team could be sold.
  7. Ex-Iowegian
    Seems legit.
  8. Ex-Iowegian
    Stupid is. Stupid does.

    Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.. Nope

    Nice read. Thank you

    I dunno…. “The godless Chicago White Sox” has such a nice ring to it…

    Both seem to have been able to reinvent or rehab themselves on someone else’s dime. Good for them. Same as Sano. Wish them all the luck. Simple as that.

    Spring training in 2004… We were sitting down the 3rd base line next to the catchers end of the bullpen. Matthew was taking the day off and playing peekaboo with a couple of young Twins fans, and then gave each of them an autograph. I caught his attention and told him that I certainly hoped that he would get the chance to go “north” with the Twins that year. In his thick southern drawl he replied “so does my wife.” Always liked the guy.

    Nice writing. Thank you.

    “son Erik said that his father’s time at SCSU would make such an event unremarkable” It’s this kind of content that keeps us coming back. Carry on.
  17. Ex-Iowegian
    Thank you. I was trying to put that last at bat into words. You did so perfectly.
  18. Ex-Iowegian
    Don’t make him angry…

    This statement is absolutely true. Having worked as a volunteer in youth baseball over the past 2 plus decades, I can safely say that baseball is embraced by today’s kids. Quietly enjoying growing numbers. Should the Twins ever really become a perineal contender, it will only lead to even more kids playing. Media reports like to grab on to doom and gloom, but their reporting of baseball numbers being ‘down’ is simply not true.
  20. Ex-Iowegian
    I propose we do away with the “Satire definition” banner. it would lead to better humor in the commentary.
  21. Ex-Iowegian
    “AM radio has a loyal base of listeners—shut-ins, reactionaries, those who fear change, residents of unlicensed nursing homes—but that base skews older,” I resemble that remark. 🙂
  22. Ex-Iowegian
    Hardly. There is an enormous difference between mlb pitching and AAA arms. Only magnified in the playoffs. Go with the known commodity, even if it’s not ideal.
  23. Ex-Iowegian
    Statistically this year, Buxton has been no better or worse than Gallo. And I wouldn’t want Gallo on my playoff team, either. Big bench bat is a waste of space for either.
  24. Ex-Iowegian
    New stat alert….. HSoB. I like it
  25. Ex-Iowegian
    Not certain that anything is statistically proven in six innings of major league experience. Either way…. Let the kid pitch. Exactly.
