    You joke but I'm pretty sure Rocco dressed and played four catchers in a playoff game vs Houston.

    I said this elsewhere but I feel like if you think the Twins can contend next year then you hate the sell off. And I'd agree - super young prospects are years away from helping this team. The 16 year old could be a decade away! The moves undoubtedly make the 26 team worse. I just don't see any hope of contending with this ownership, FO, manager, and core so I'm all for the fire sale approach. It's a fools errand trying to suss out value for these prospects, we just won't know for years if the trades are good or not so no point evaluating now. I remember how over the moon people were when we got Martin since he was so highly touted (and pretty far along in his development - he wasn't a 16 year old that's for sure) and he's been a total bust.

    I doubt the Pohlads would chip in 50 cents, much less 50 mil. As much as I'd like the Twins to get out from the $30mil we are paying Correa to be a replacement level player, taking this deal makes zero sense.

    Twins have the highest payroll in the division. Higher too than the Brewers, who have the best record in ball. Ownership sucks but the problems go deeper.

    It also seems like a strategy to lose more games! Just fyi, we probably don't agree on a lot of Twins things but I really like your calm, rational style. I could learn a thing or two from you!

    I mean if this really is a team directive then this is a massive scandal. You cannot be taken seriously as a baseball organization if you determine that you can't keep guys healthy enough so instead they have to start giving less effort. Where does it end? You can jog to first if you THINK it's going to be an out? What if the fielder drops the ball - should you start sprinting? Won't that risk injury? Can you jog on defense - I mean, if sprinting to first is going to get you hurt won't sprinting after a foul ball get you hurt too? What about running the bases? Should players dive for balls and slide into bases? All I know is what I can see, and what I can see is a checked out team who gets out-hustled and out-fundamentaled on a daily basis, and the results speak for themselves.

    Exactly. Why hasn't he written about it?

    It was fun to dream...

    Eh, a couple of guys bs-ing on a podcast isn't really a source...but man, if this is what a locked-in captain who is committed to the franchise, leads by example, and will do anything to win looks like...give me someone, anyone else. And if this front office is truly telling its players not to try so hard...tear it all down.

    I feel like how you view the 2026 Twins is coloring how fans feel about the Paddack/Duran moves. If you think the Twins can compete in 26 then you probably hate the deals. Personally I don't see them contending in 26 at all, and believe the only way out is a total teardown - first owners, then the entire FO, then the entire coaching staff. A lot of players too. So I've been actually ok with the moves so far. Getting anything more than a deck of cards for Paddack was a miracle, and a couple sites REALLY like the kid catcher we got from the Phillies,,,
  12. Woof Bronzer
    Source?
  13. Woof Bronzer
    Clubhouse was the wrong word...I just meant when your leader/captain has clearly checked out that's going to trickle down to the rest of the team. Half the team follows his example of trotting out grounders...

    It's called slop because that's what it is -- a bunch of unvetted data slopped together from a variety of random, unvetted sources that may or, more likely not, be accurate, because AI is incapable of understanding the concept of "truth". You cannot, and will never be able to, teach a computer the concept of truth. AI just gives you the most common data it finds. (This is why Elon's bot often lapses into white supremacy or antisemitism; it's trained on X. This doesn't make the conspiracy theories it slops out true though.) Good journalism requires lived experience, close study, practice, human empathy, intellectual curiosity...AI offers none of that. Just slop.
  15. Woof Bronzer
    lol I stand by my disdain of AI slop replacing actual journalism. Sorry you keep losing at chess.
  16. Woof Bronzer
    If preferring actual human journalism to AI slop makes me a grumpy old man then get off my lawn.
  17. Woof Bronzer
    For sure.

    Every morning I wake up happily thinking "Dan Gladden must be fired"
  19. Woof Bronzer
    So true! You have to, like, try to do this stuff poorly... "We need Target Field to attract free agents" has turned into "we're getting outclassed by Detroit"
  20. Woof Bronzer
    This comment might be more even more humiliating than today's "game". Can't help but feel happy for the guys who are going to get a chance with serious, professional organizations.
  21. Woof Bronzer
    Of course they won't reinvest it. But there's a very strong argument to be made that Twins will be a better team without Correa, both on the field and in the clubhouse.
  22. Woof Bronzer
    I've been very critical of ownership and the FO, but to me, getting a bag of new baseballs, much less an actual prospect, for Paddack is miraculous and could be Falvey's savviest move.
  23. Woof Bronzer
    Citation needed.

    Baseball somehow survived something like 125 years without having to resort to openers...if your starters are constantly getting hurt than maybe that's the problem, and the solution isn't to pitch middle relievers (in other words your worst pitchers) instead, but rather to prioritize long term health of your starters (in other words your best pitchers) over a couple more ticks on the gun. Also, off topic, but: I would love for someone to tell me what number makes a meaningful sample size. I never ever hear it. Is it 50? 100? 1000? Whatever number suits the argument you are trying to make? What's the magic number?

    It's interesting that the piece fails to mention if, you know, bullpen games work. Results matter. What is the Twins' record in so-called bullpen games? Isn't this relevant to the discussion? Having pitchers like Adams and Sands able to step in and pitch two or three innings at a time gives the team options and keeps the rotation fresh for longer series. A few days ago they "stepped in" to allow the not-trying Nationals to rout the Twins and easily take the series. Mission accomplished, I guess?
