    He really had some things to say about the owner not trying to win!
  2. FlyingFinn
    Are you more likely to become Taylor Swift if you date the president????????????
  3. FlyingFinn
    My problem with strikeouts is they seem to happen so often with a runner at third and less than 2 outs or with a runner on 2nd with nobody out, where we should be putting the bat on the ball in some fashion. Is that not possible with a strikeout team like ours? Don't know if those kinds of stats are out there somewhere to show which high strikeout teams are still capable of doing this.
  4. FlyingFinn
    My own personal prospect rankings. He can move back up with some good weeks but I thought he would do better than this. The pitchers in this league aren't exactly the best the AFL has ever seen.
  5. FlyingFinn
    He's pitched a lot of good games in the minors. The issue - velocity. So many of these guys are successful in the minors but the lack of high velocity doesn't lead to major league success. I often wonder if some of these lower velocity guys would actually adjust and be able to pitch in the majors and yet they are never given the chance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this with Carr.
  6. FlyingFinn
    Rosario is moving down in the prospect rankings. Yikes!
  7. FlyingFinn
    After the money/budget situation, the next biggest questions I have are: will the Twins play Lewis in CF, when will Kirilloff recover from his surgery and will Lee be with the Twins in April? All of these questions highly affect whether we are keeping Polanco and Farmer and whether we need a CF (unless the Twins think Martin is ready, which I don't think they do).
  8. FlyingFinn
    And I think bringing back the hitting coaches says this 2023 season of strikeouts is on the front office and the players they chose. To change it requires signing someone who is a better contact hitter or trusting that Martin and Lee are the answers, as well as some guys improve (Julien/Wallner/Lewis with more experience and Correa/Buxton?? being injured less).
  9. FlyingFinn
    Also, Moran won't be DFA'd. See Cano, who the Twins gave up on too early and then the Orioles go and change his arm angle and he's great. If the Twins can just get Moran to throw consistent strikes, he is a great relief pitcher.
  10. FlyingFinn
    There is no debate. The Twins WILL put Emma Rodriguez on the 40 man roster. Everyone might as well just add him to their projection.
  11. FlyingFinn
    Castro is guaranteed. Alcala is likely for only $1 million. The Twins plans for Lewis (do they want to move him to CF) and the results of Kirilloffs surgery really help decide how much we need Farmer at 3B or 1B. Plus he's our best backup SS (but add Lee as a 3rd decision that affects Farmer - do the Twins plan to start Lee immediately with the Twins and try for that extra #1 draft pick?).
  12. FlyingFinn
    If you told me that the Twins would give up 3 runs in game #4 before it started, I would say we were going to win facing a pitcher with an ERA around 5.00 for the year. The only reason it appears "to not have worked out" is because we didn't score 4 runs. The hitters have to score 4+ runs in this game and Lopez then would have had to go out and shut down the Astros in game #5.
  13. FlyingFinn
    Julien. If Kirilloff is out most of next year, I see a free agent signing on a one year contract.
  14. FlyingFinn
    Yes Yes, if you plan on adding Lee to the roster very early in 2024 or to start the season. Do we keep Farmer as well though - yes, if Lewis is playing CF. No SWR, Thielbar, Moran, Alcala - yes. The remainder will be the first to go as we add free agents IMO. Very good questions.
  15. FlyingFinn
    This is exactly what I want every Twins hitter to do - never make contact with any pitch out of the strike zone because they never swing at them. Stop flailing at pitches that are balls.
  16. FlyingFinn
    I contend that Jeffers was very good this year Because they rotated catchers. I certainly see why they played Jeffers every inning but I wouldn't have had him starting in the 2nd game when they played on consecutive days.
  17. FlyingFinn
    When you play great teams/players, some things that improved against mostly weaker teams in the 2nd half of the season return to being a problem. We want less strikeouts by our hitters but many of our new hitters aren't exactly great at this (Lewis, Julien and Wallner) though they aren't any worse at striking out than most players on the team. The players who really strike out less that are actually possibilities of playing are Austin Martin and Jose Miranda. Very interesting off-season to see if trades are made to tackle this strikeout issue.
  18. FlyingFinn
    Martin, E-Rod and Camargo. Those SO's by Severino just keep him off of my list. Plus, we have several guys who play 3B, his best position.
  19. FlyingFinn
    Sorry, didn't catch that. My apologies.
  20. FlyingFinn
    You would rate someone who someone who went 3 for 16 with 2 homers worse than a cleanup hitter who went 3 for 15 with no homers and no rbi's?
  21. FlyingFinn
    I had 81 wins but having a legit shot at winning the AL Central as I thought the extra non-division games were going to be a huge problem for the AL Central teams. Happy to see the Twins exceeded my expectations.
  22. FlyingFinn
    False. You can cherry pick one fan or one comment and try to make it seem like everyone is like that. I umpired previously and wanted to make the game fair for each team. I would rather have a robo ump making the right, fair call than me making a mistake. For the Twins, I want a fairly called game.
  23. FlyingFinn
    I wouldn't mind a reasonable offer to sign Maeda. He's got some good games in him for the regular season as the 5 starters listed by @terrydactyls will be injured at some time during the season and I want Festa and company to have more time at AAA. This is Gray's chance for one last payday (or retire to be with family) so I see him getting $60 million for 3 years.
  24. FlyingFinn
    Kepler wishes we had the robo ump. Never would have called strike 3 on the ball inches inside when Lewis had 2nd base stolen. Key spot.
  25. FlyingFinn
    If Julien is at 1B.................... who is the DH? Buxton?
