    Ha! Beautiful piece, Stu.

    MAKE IT HAPPEN

    Speaking of Buxton, I just read an article on the four letter sports network that mentioned possible landing spots for him at the trade deadline... so I am curious what others here think on the subject of the team possibly putting Buck on the trade block?

    Yawn. On to the next dumpster fire of a series...
  5. Rhyno006
    Indeed he has. I keep forgetting he's only 25. Lots left in the tank so I'll cut him some slack. I just want better starting pitching again SO. BAD.

    Sadly, this could be more true than I'd like to admit.

    Well I see Festa is back to his old self again...

    Joe Ryan for Aaron Judge is the only trade I'd accept at this point.
  9. Rhyno006
    Me too, but I also don't expect them to be sellers at the trade deadline because with even the remote possibility of the sale of the team there is no way they will want to change much. Baldelli is a company line guy that is probably pretty cheap all things considered (although I admit freely that this is just a feeling backed up by no fact) and we can only expect more of the same cheap moves until someone ponies up to buy the team. Never mind the play on the field is AWFUL as of late, aside from some of the pitching perfomances. This team is so maddeningly (heh is that even a word) streaky it makes me spit. Gonna be a tough watch of this team the rest of the way I feel... deep breaths...

    A baseball coach growing up likened pitching to a golf swing: on any given pitch/swing, there are so many variables that can be off that one small thing can make a huge difference in the outcome. That being said, if Ober's hip is bothering him regardless of whether or not it is "affecting his pitching" I would argue he should still be shut down for a short while and have a healing restart. Because trying to push through it clearly isn't working.

    LOL but ouch too.

    These guys are in September 2024 form right now without a doubt. I guess the bright side is good seats are available at a nice discount for all remaining home games...

    While I wanted this, I also fully expect him to become a perennial All Star for Boston over the next 5-8 years and again leave us wondering WTAF we did to be this cursed.

    I wish they'd just get rid of Alcala.
  16. Rhyno006
    YES! Alcala has been driving me nuts this year. One day he's looking really good and the next time he gives up a grand salami and totally implodes against the A's of all teams.
  17. Rhyno006
    Article aside, I love a good opposite field poke to score some runs. That is all, and GO TWINS!
  18. Rhyno006
    This looks like a National League box score on the Twins side lol
  19. Rhyno006
    Buck and Carlos run into each other? Am at work watching the box score...
  20. Rhyno006
    He was filthy last night. Was really fun to watch a guy dominate a lineup like that!
  21. Rhyno006
    Booo this team.
  22. Rhyno006
    OK so I just listened to it again, and the way the crowd decibels go up even higher as he's rounding first while the ball is landing in the seats... damn it all, someone must want to buy this team??????
  23. Rhyno006
    Thanks for extrapolating those numbers for us! That indeed does make it look worse for MN teams. Too much to choose from, and add in that baseball is the only real draw most of the summer and we have nice weather with other things to do than watch a bad baseball team, etc....
  24. Rhyno006
    A few replies to this but I don't think you're far off either way: 1. The biggest difference is the LA area has had multiple major sport champions where MN hasn't. But much like LA, MSP has a lot of different teams to choose from given it's size. 2. Speaking of size, per wikipedia the greater LA area has a population of 18.3 million people versus MSP about 3.7. I think that desparity can account at least for some of the reason even poor teams in LA have a decent following. It's just a numbers game at that point. 3. The Twins need to win, yes. BUT- baseball especially has a politicing (maybe not the right word) side to it given there's no salary constraints. If you don't spend enough on players, you're more likely to not be as good a team and therefor not win as many games. Part of that isn't the Twins' fault (I.E. lack of a salary floor/ceiling), but the Pohlad's aren't/haven't done themselves any favors either and that in my opinion is what seems to be weighing on and driving us fans away from the team, myself included.

    It's not Puckett's '91 heroics, but man my spine tingles listening to that crowd react to Royce's bomb... New owners: if you build it, we will come.
