  1. 4 days of taking fly balls... and the result is one of the two end up on injured list!
  2. If you can't find Jax's tip off to his pitches, deal him. If he isn't tipping his pitches get rid of him even faster!
  3. Not sure which would be a bigger red flag, blood relationship w/ Delmond (in the running with Herr and Knoblauch as the biggest horse's arses in Twins history) or "recovering from 2024 Tommy John surgery" . Leave it to the Twins to check both boxes in one day...
  4. "Tommy John surgery..." and "if he can stay healthy...", two words equal to the kiss of death in the Twins organization.
  5. Why can't the Twins and their opponent have get away games the same day? The Twins figure it is the last game of a series, and that makes sense. But the opponents seldom seem to play "get away day" baseball. In fact they often treat it like it counts as much as other games! They try!!! Haven't the other teams gotten the message about the games being a "screw the customer" day by fielding your lineup from the back end of your roster???
  6. "Flashes of brilliance..." Haven't seen anything approaching brilliance offensively since Cruz's heyday. Any (and every) major league team have multi-run innings. Some even do it regularly.! F##k, some do it multiple times a game!!! Yeah, such outbursts are detrimental to sleeping during the game, but...
  7. Guy having a hellofatime getting three outs... lets have him try 15 to 18!
  8. Agree 101%. And not because I dislike either player, or that neither can be a quality ML outfielder. It is because both have the same natural "best fit" position as far too many guys on the protected rosters: DH. And not quality Cruz-like consistent production, but highly streaky inconsistent DHing. That type of player (power bat, poor contact skills displayed with 1+ K per game and below average defense) are pretty easy to sign as a free agent, and fit easily into a Twins-like budget. Assuming you feel the need for such players...
  9. Might be funny if there wasn't so much frustrating truth included...
  10. Bader needs to be out there for his glove and energy, and take the bat as a bonus. Until he can be replaced by someone at least competent, he plays...
  11. Why are insisting on punishing Joe??? Seriously, outside the normal risk associated with multi-year contracts to pitchers, Joe Ryan should be offered a 5ish year deal. A bit extra for his controlled years, and maybe a bit of a discount on his initial FA years. Kinda the standard (structurally) deal offered to controlled guys. Pretty high floor (barring injury, of course, but...) for a premium+ position. And a position historically in demand league wide, the Twins even more so. Maybe he jumps for this in the name of financial security. Maybe he laughs his Greatful Dead headband off and gambles on himself. One way to find out...
  12. I can trust my lying eyes, or go with the stats that proved that Joey Gallo was a slightly above average player for the Twins...
  13. 6 blown games. If he keeps up his pace (which you are defending without actually showing anything) he'll have 10 or 11 blown games at his feet. This is Ron "Heartburn" Davis level results... and that is indisputable.
  14. ERA (actually, not cherry picked) 4 and a quarter. He basically gives up a run every other outing. 2 appearances equals 2 innings. Give up a run every other outing and it inches up to 4 and a half. That isn't elite. That isn't good. It is at very best average for ALL PITCHERS REGARDLESS. And for the #2 out of the pen, it is awful. Edit- he has blown 6 games, and looked horrific doing that. Not good...
  15. "Slumping" (if we are lucky, and he hasn't simply been figured out) relievers aren't a great return in trade... He gets crushed regularly. Teams might just know it ain't a slump...
  16. Absurd? Debatable Correct? Unquestionable.
  17. Give me roster of 25 Baders... and zero Jaxes (?plural of Jax?)!
  18. Shibe Field (later Connie Mack Stadium) measured 515 feet (yep!) to CF. Heard stories of how fast guys could've circled the bases twice on poorly played inside the park homers...
  19. 3 games. 3 runs. 3 mediocre (at very best) opposing pitchers. Zero signs of any Twin giving a fiddler"s fu... Why should we care???
  20. We deserve something for sitting through the worst month's ERA in team history... (anyone using any variation of "pitching pipeline" as anything other than mockery will be executed at sunrise!) Personally, I'd be happy with actual effort through the entire lineup! Probably be disappointed on that count 24 out of 25 games with this bunch...
  21. And Varland takes his award and pitches his next game like he earned it. Wait..
  22. When you are "tipping your cap" ( for their "stellar" pitching) to the oppo once a week, it's time to look in the mirror...
