    Interesting way of describing cheating. Maybe one day Kepler will get over his fear of injections that help other people.
  2. Woof Bronzer
    Yeah I mean it sure sounds like he was literally beefing up...

    If you thought an internet comment board was a place you could leave your opinion you came to the wrong place mister!

    Do cow steroids help a person return quicker from injuries?
  5. Woof Bronzer
    So the guy who was so concerned about the purity of the athlete's body that he refused to get vaccinated for COVID decided to inject himself with a cow steroid explicitly unsafe for humans? What an enormous, pathetic hypocrite.

    One of the most depressing things the Pohlads have done to this fanbase is instill the notion that we absolutely cannot have nice things, and the only free agents we can reasonably sign are bad, -1 to 1 WAR guys, so fans must make lemonade from lemons. And this is breaking fan brains. It's actually very sad, a fanbase so desperate for relevance and wins that we have fans saying things like "Twins fans are gonna love this AAAA guy who just got cut by Miami." "Eric Wagaman Might Be the Next Kyle Garlick" is a headline written by a trauma patient. Kyle Garlick produced 0.4 WAR, 0.1 WAR, and -0.1 WAR for the Twins. He'd the definition of a replacement level player, except that no MLB team believes he is even capable of that level of "performance", because he hasn't played in MLB for 2 years. It's ok to dream bigger than Kyle Garlick!

    Probably the same architect who designed the 2025 half-measure off-season plan and the 2024 half-measure off-season plan.

    This is not getting talked about enough. If you are going to sign terrible AAAA hitters at least sign terrible AAAA hitters who have defensive value. Instead Falvey seems insistent on making the 2026 Twins even worse defensively than in 2025.
  9. Woof Bronzer
    As I've said before, Falvey, who has been credited with modernizing the sabermetrics operation to facilitate data driven decisions, is on his 3rd consecutive offseason of just throwing all data out the window and hoping that the player wildly outperforms his numbers. In other words: delusion. That's the Twins grand strategy after 2 disastrous seasons: sign some of the worst hitters in baseball (in Jackson's case, one of the worst hitters in MLB history) and hope they magically become good hitters.

    If the Twins are trying to compete in 2026, why would they downgrade at catcher? They need to drastically improve the roster, not make it worse.
  11. Woof Bronzer
    Exactly the point. The team wasn't good, so they needed someone better than Bader if they wanted to get better. Signing those 3 guys and expecting to compete was stupid. It didn't work. If the goal was competing, signing Bader was a failure.
  12. Woof Bronzer
    You simply have not been following the Twins for the past 3 decades then. Yeesh.
  13. Woof Bronzer
    If you think getting 5 WAR out of 3 cheap vets is the way the turn the Twins into a contender you truly do not understand baseball. The Twins need much, much more than "supplementary" players. The Twins need better players, full stop. I am truly sorry that you don't seem to understand that guys like Bader, France, and Coloumbe do not turn the Twins into contenders. Do you think Wagaman, Bell, and Arcia are going to help the Twins win the Central next year? Bent out of shape lol, I'm just saying the Twins plan of contending next year is going to fail spectacularly if all they add to a 57-win roster are 0-1 WAR guys, just like it failed spectacularly last year when they tried to win the Central by signing Bader, France, and Columbe. Sounds like you think it'll work. Difference of opinion, that's fine. But hey, this season should give you plenty of opportunities to get excited about cheap contracts for bad players - enjoy the losing!
  14. Woof Bronzer
    Nobody is defending the Pohlads. They are terrible. But there are objectively worse owners in baseball alone. Pirates and Rockies owners have been actively trying to lose for several years. And then there is John Fisher who LITERALLY TOOK THE As AWAY FROM OAKLAND. Again, the Pohlads are terrible, but they haven't moved the team to Des Moines.
  15. Woof Bronzer
    I'm happy you were able to find joy in the contract of an 0.8 WAR player amidst a 92 loss season.
  16. Woof Bronzer
    The front office's plan by signing those 3 guys was to win the Central. That plan failed miserably. The point of baseball is to win games, not sign great value contracts for washed up vets on 1 year deals. France was the 30th best first baseman last year. If you think that was a success amidst a 92 loss season, great. Enjoy the losing.
  17. Woof Bronzer
    You don't seem to be understanding. The 2024 Twins won 82 games. The plan for 2025 was to run it back and add a few pieces. Those pieces turned out to be France, Coulumbe, and Bader. The 2025 team with these 3 was on a 72 win pace before the sell off. The team with those 3 was 10 games worse than the team without them. Is it all their fault? No. Do "value" contracts turn teams into competitors? No. Do 0.8 WAR players move the needle? Absolutely not. If the 2026 Twins are to compete they need several needle movers, not 0-1 WAR guys. They're solely signing 0-1 WAR guys. The Twins could have 13 great value contracts for each of its hitters, similar to France. It would be the worst team in MLB history. The point of baseball is to win games, not sign a bunch of value contracts.
  18. Woof Bronzer
    I agree, Falvey is terrible at his job.
  19. Woof Bronzer
    Thanks for the advice, I think I'll keep commenting though. I didn't say the France contract was a bad deal, but what I said was who cares, France produced 0.8 WAR for the Twins and 0.8 WAR guys do not move the needle, they're a dime a dozen, and the Twins ended the year on a 57 win pace. The 2025 plan, to build around the core with guys like France, Bader, and Coulombe and compete for the Al Central, didn't work. They did not help this team contend. So yes, I'll say it again: France, Bader, sand Coulombe did not help this team win games. Falvey is doing the same exact thing this offseason. It didn't work the last 2 offseasons. But sure, THIS time it'll work great! Continuing to invest in replacement level players ensures that the Twins will be a replacement level team for years to come.
  20. Woof Bronzer
    Because you said the deal "worked out well". My opinion is nothing "worked out well" when you end up with a 57-win pace, and signing guys like Ty France and expecting to improve the team's fortune is why this franchise has won 1 ALDS in 3 decades. But maybe you like the losing?
  21. Woof Bronzer
    So well in fact that the Twins ended the year on a 57-win pace.
  22. Woof Bronzer
    One eighth measures or bust!
  23. Woof Bronzer
    Falvey seems a bit confused here, if the goal is to "contend" then you need to get better players than the ones you have, not worse ones. I thought part of Falvey's deal was modernizing the sabermetrics side to make data based decisions. Maybe Derek doesn't have access to the statistics and sabermetrics we do?
  24. Woof Bronzer
    Why? There's no evidence Brooks Lee can be a productive MLB SS. We have far more evidence of Bad Royce than Good Royce. If you expect Wallner to be anything other than Wallner I can't help you, he is what he is. And Larnach doesn't even have a spot in the lineup.
  25. Woof Bronzer
    This is similar to the talking point I hear about the bullpen. "The pen can't possibly be as bad in 26 as it was in September." Okay....how? They've signed, what, one AAAA guy? The Twins are drawing from the same pool of talent as they were in September. If fans want a better bullpen we actually have to build a better bullpen with better players than we had last year. It's funny, one of the things Falvey gets credit for is "modernizing" the sabermetrics side and bringing data-based decision making to the baseball ops. In year 10 Derek is tossing out all the data and just crossing his fingers that the team is better than what all the sabermetrics (and eye tests) indicate. We've come full circle back to the Terry Ryan era, except the Twins now ignore BOTH sabermetrics and the old school eye test! It's just delusion all the way down.
