    Looking at the Saints record, it ain't going to be a very good or entertaining minor league team...
  2. Bodie
    Let's be honest... At this point in Falvey's tenure why in God's name would you want him picking new bats and gloves???? This is a guy who was happy signing Joey Gallo! Who thought a "good" Twins team for this season included an infield with Julien and Miranda. If we have to put up with Falvey's overall incompetence, at least keep him acquiring pitching as he has a couple of positives as opposed to his signing of position players where there have been about 3 non-negatives in his career!

    What's amazing is that an average (and falling) bullpen had so many guys others are interested on!

    WTF??? They got rid of an injury waiting to happen carrying a 5 ERA. Add in a guaranteed contract for a AAA pitcher nearing an 8 ERA and you whine like a b!#@h that they are being cheap???? Anyone at AAA starting can replace Paddack (now that the worst pitcher on the staff is gone!) with the added plus of having possible upside. They traded mistakes. No one was.going to come in and blow you away in a trade offer for a broken down, no length #5 starter. Even less for your #6-8 starter at AAA! Get checked out dude! Your irrational hatred of the Pohlads has you making an abject fool of yourself. There are plenty of reasons to trash the Pohlads, Falvey, Baldelli et al without working yourself a manufactured dizzy over dumping salaries that really should have been cut/dfa'ed/fired before this. Getting anything for both is really nothing short of amazing. Best move by this FO since deciding Bader was a good deal - possibly the only good move since, but...

    Guess we'll find out if Jax is a pitcher, or a thrower with "elite" stuff!
  6. Bodie
    All that has to be done to finalize the deal is for the Twins to agree to eat his contract as he plays it out elsewhere. Seriously! Every report (report, not analysis) say the only hangup right now is that HoustonHoustons him back for free. The trade will cost them prospects/players/bag of balls, but they actually expect the Twins to keep signing his paychecks. So... Correa ain't leaving for Houston until the season ends. It is where he and his family live. But anyone expecting this team to eat $30M a year just hasn't been paying attention! He is our Pottery Barn project- we bought him and Pottery Barn doesn't do refunds on broken stuff. Especially s××t from the discount and distressed bin we plucked him from

    When there is new ownership there needs to be two announcements within two days of signing the agreement. 1) Fire Falvey. No "reassigned to new duties" or any other stuff. "You're fired, pack your shi... and be out in 60 minutes or you will be escorted off the property and law enforcement will be called." 2) Fire Baldelli- see notes of Falvey firing.. Otherwise just keep the Pohlads, cus ain't nothing going to change without a gale of fresh wind to blow the detritus out of Target field, we are in for more of the same poorly mediocre baseball for the foreseeable future.

    Doesn't have to "or", it can be "problems" plural... Sub .500 teams seldom have "a problem", they have problems. The Yankees have a problem in that their CF is a LF. The Twins have problems, plural! A problem can be solved, often in multiple ways. Interwoven problems directly relating to player types/skill sets and roster construction are much harder than covering for a butcher in the field.
  9. Bodie
    Yeah!!! Give me another season start like Jax had (is having)!!!
  10. Bodie
    Insanity- repeatedly doing exactly the same thing and expecting different results.
  11. Bodie
    "Long term future",,, So, maybe for his 12th season (2026) we might finally see him get to 500 at bats in a season???? "Building around" Buxton is now officially insanity!!! We can when that became the case, not if it is true. Lord knows that he is an absolute treat to watch play in the field. That anyone can say with a straight face that he might be the best CF in Twins history (laughable IMO, but...) is a testament to just how exciting he is to watch when "on", No one expected his production (hoping is not expecting) to be the best of his career for the simple fact that almost no one emerges as a legitimate star in thier 30s. Or in thier 11th season. Especially when those previous 10 seasons were all cut short due to injuries Expecting a (first) full season in his 12th (or inevitably after next year his 13th) is foolish. We all hope for it, but using him as a building block for the future is... professional malpractice.

    Mike "5 days a week" Marshall??? Any GM with half a brain should be moving every failed starter into a multi-inning, multiple times a week reliever. With nearly every starter doing number 4 or 5 starter innings, bullpen help is mandatory. Running 3, 4 or 5 pitchers out every game is simply a failure waiting to happen (repeatedly). Every team needs competent multiple inning guys in the BP to have any hope of getting through a season without shelling out your bullpen. Or you can run your closer out when your down 5 runs because, "who else is left?"... and insure his unavailability tomorrow because no one can safely pitch 2 days in a row! Gawd, I miss the days when actual men played this lovely kids' game...
  13. Bodie
    "Heartburn" Davis??? Everyone at Tums loved him!!!
  14. Bodie
    Interesting take in both the article and your post about how "the Twins weren't going to pay Berios". True enough, as far as it goes. But Berios (and some agent...)had done everything but shout "f%@k you, never resigning here" to the people signing his paycheck. He wasn't going to get paid by the Twins because he had zero intention of doing so.
  15. Bodie
    Probably an "almost MLB ready" player at another premium position. Not like the Twins are the only ones looking at decent catchers. Kinda like pitching in that there is never enough quality to go around - and the differences between the top and bottom tiers are astounding!
  16. Bodie
    Agree 102%. Except the gibberish masquerading as a final paragraph... BUCK The FREWERS!!!
  17. Bodie
    3 guys (not prospects at all) returns you... one,, two, three bags of baseballs.
  18. Bodie
    You can't build an ace pitcher if you never allow them to try doing ace-type things... Not every pitcher will be an ace pitcher, but you'll never have one if you don't at least try it with your better arms!
  19. Bodie
    Well he did use what, 5 or 6 BP guys in game 2. An eventual blowout win. It is modern MLB baseball... and statistically proven superior! To quote Master Baldelli, you've got to "trust the process ."
  20. Bodie
    Would have bet on just this result as soon as Jax was announced for the 9th... But I'm "a hater", so being right doesn't count, and a fan so there is no joy in being correct.
  21. Bodie
    Why??? They obviously don't do anything as far as flexibility goes! Guys are regularly on the DL with injuries sustained running the bases (slowly) and playing basic defense (poorly)! Not just a Twins thing, but I get a front row seat for grown men playing a kids' game. And doing it with a kid's discipline.
  22. Bodie
    Dodgers have lost 10 of last 12, so...time for someone to get right!
  23. Bodie
    Add in the facts that a) he is probably the most dishonest man in sports, and b) seems to be intentionally trying to destroy baseball by utterly failing to understand both it's fans or non-fans, and my takeaway is that the Pohlad family is pretty much guaranteed to be in charge for several more years! Maybe the 2030s will see some movement from owners who have very little specific interest in Twins basebal, outside of being in a very exclusive club of MLB owners... #forkmanfred. (the bigger the fork, the better!!!)
  24. Bodie
    Yeah, the "problem" wasn't that he wasn't going to keep playing (i.e. sign another contract, new or extended), it was that it wasn't going to be with the Twins. Infinitely more likely that he ended up with the Blue Jay's even if he wasn't traded there than doing a complete 180 and signiing with the Twins after his contract expired. The only real choices were to trade him, or simply flog him until his contract expired and take the comp pick. The Twins might not have gotten "equal value" in return, but Toronto really overpaid for a couple of months of disappointing pitching.
  25. Bodie
    Big wasted talent... and in Delmond's case a lot of "I just don't care" about many facets of the game. Paying attention first and foremost... And the TJ surgery is on the 1st round pitcher, not Young. But this is the Falvey-led Twins, so maybe he's had it too!
