  1. Wisely is or is not Blake Snell. Jordan Montgomery. Jorge Polanco. You don't know until you know.
  2. Indeed, an Oracle and Wrigley and Target video and production crew could optimize viewing angles and even the ambient sound levels and programming in a stadium they were dedicated to working. Local announcing talent for each team could float.
  3. I agree re: the bats are a bigger area of concern for the Twins, even though 'you can never have enough pitching'. You know what you're gonna get from the majority of the stuff. Pablo 11 wins, probably somewhere between the 23 and 24 versions. Ober and Ryan, largely established bodies of work barring injury. Maybe even a step forward for Joe. Duran, Jax Paddack, hard to envision any huge steps forward or backward. Varland, Stewart, Topa, competent if not electric bullpen help. Simeon Woods Richardson, a small step forward, but no miracles. Maybe Zebby and Festa a bit more seasoning. A no. five starter might be needed or maybe not. The bats are a total crap shoot other than Correa, Vazquez, and perhaps Larnach. Will we get the April Wallner or the August one? The hurt or healthy Buxton and Miranda? A useful or useless Julien, Jeffers, Kirilloff, and Lewis. Will Emmanuel Rodriguez or Luke Keaschall be of some help by summer? There are so many unknowns we are hanging our hats on. Seems something could be said for a bit more veteran presence, whether re-signing Santana or nabbing a Pham-type guy. Goldschmidt too rich for our liking?
  4. The Tigers and Royals did EXACTLY what the Twins did last year but ok.
  5. Numbers from a hat? Hey it worked for setting the lineup .
  6. FWIW, Popkins is gone as hitting coach. His contract wasn't renewed.
  7. Agree. I think the expectations instead of the results are coloring the final grade in some cases. "You ain't expecting the rookies to carry the vets, are ya?"
  8. There's a lot of gloom stains on that napkin. But there are some real values too. Larnach, Wallner. Ryan, Ober, Duran, Jax, Sands, Topa. Much as I like Kepler and Farmer, their departure$ (and presumably Thielbar$) make keeping Santana and Castro more palatable.
  9. WCCO will also bring the Twins to fans in the Dakotas, Iowa and Wisconsin. Doubtful for the other radio signals. Don't underestimate.
  10. Is that Buxton's fault or the team's payroll's fault?
  11. My vibe ranking (from a batter coming up with RISP going from oh **** we're done, to hey something could happen here) agrees with you. Who would I most like to see up in that spot? Correa. Wallner. Buxton. Santana. Who least? Jeffers. Vazquez. Miranda. Julien. It often seems like we were just one tinker of the batting order away from getting the right guy in the right spot in the lineup. Rocco's whack a mole lineups be damned, it was near impossible to get it right on a nightly basis or even occasionally by the season's end.good news is that some of the dregs won't be around in 2O25. Bad news is they can be easily replaced with the anticipated funding levels. Is Eeles the answer? Rodriguez?
  12. Na na hey hey. SEE Y'ALL IN 2025.
  13. So the season ends just how it was decided. With Manny Margot at bat.
  14. Correa for Farmer, Buxton for Margot. At the very least.
  15. Should have PHd Buxton for the fans to enjoy.. but no.
  16. Ah well all's well ends well
  17. He had a knee issue I think last series. I certainly hope they didn't aggravate something for a meaningless game.
  18. I absolutely want to say 👋 to him!
  19. I'm guessing it's the goodbye tour for him Farmer and Julien. Santana.. I don't know. I'd like him back the same way I wanted Solano back last year.
