    I don't know a ton about him, but he did say that anyone who supports the Employee Free Choice Act, "should be shot; should be thrown out of their goddamn jobs."
  2. Mr. Brooks
    Might have something to do with conspiring with Bud Selig to attempt to contact the franchise.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Well for starters, we have a Twins Daily writer, in a different thread, confirming that the Pohlad's refuse to authorize the FO to overspend their draft allotment, something 23 other teams did last year, even though it would only cost them a $1 million penalty.

    I was quoting jrod, not Seth, who implied that the Twins were paying millions.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    Thad Levine is 47 years old.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    I'd be shocked if the team ever said, or even implied that Sano would be as good as Miguel Cabrera or Frank Thomas. Do you have any links where that was suggested by the team?
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Can you expand on your paragraph regarding Chalmers? I don't understand what you mean by "millions of dollars"? As he's not on the 40 man, he doesn't cost any more than anyone else would to fill that milb roster spot.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    How is that a failure of the front office? They are beholden to ownership, they don't get to just do as they please.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    What if they didn't have ownerships permission to spend over their draft pool?
  11. Mr. Brooks
    He'd be a wonderful fit. I'd love them to get Stroman, as much for 2020 as this year. But let's not forget he's also got a few sub 2 WAR seasons mixed in as well, including 0.2 last year. When we're discussing what it would take to acquire him, it's not just "semantics" to call him an ace, he's not an ace, and paying ace price would be a pretty big overpay, IMO.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    I don't believe I ever said he is or isn't good enough. I don't know. I'm saying we'll never find out because he never developed a third pitch, so it'll never happen. It's not because the Twins aren't bold enough to try, no team would. If you can point me in the direction of some successful two pitch starters I'm open to change my mind.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    That's not true. The following was posted by Hosken Bombo Disco: According to the link Vanimal supplied me, Antifa is fighting against fascists and neo-nazis, and is a response to the violence coming from the right. Which all sounds right to me. So maybe you, Vanimal, or Mr Brooks can remind me of why that is a bad thing, or why Marshall and Eisenhower were wrong to fight against that 75 years ago. Thanks in advance.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Rogers never developed a third pitch, that's why he was moved to the pen. That ship has sailed.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Stroman is not an ace.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Your percentage that Buxton scores on a wild throw is way, way too high. There is no way that major leaguers throw that ball away 1 in 5 times, I'd guess it's closer to 1 in 50.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Do you think these baseball players are going on the IL because they aren't tough, or because the team believes playing hurt will hurt the team more than their replacement? We saw what happens last year when guys try to play through injuries. Being "Mr. Tough guy", at the expense of your team is an awful idea.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    In what possible scenario would that be a managerial decision?
  19. Mr. Brooks
    The Twins got swept that year. Liriano alone couldn't have prevented that.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    This was his line for the day: .286/.444/.571 (1.015) Seems pretty good to me. Who would you have given it to?
  21. Mr. Brooks
    You might be right about that.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    Where are you seeing that he's cleared waivers already?
  23. Mr. Brooks
    Wouldn't a tolerance for the cold temperatures on Mars mean he would feel overheated here?
  24. Mr. Brooks
    The suicide squeeze lowered the run expectancy there from 1.32 to 0.98. It was a dumb call.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    61.6% from 2011-2016. https://sports.stackexchange.com/questions/14832/is-a-squeeze-bunt-with-a-runner-on-third-and-one-out-a-good-play/14848#14848
