  1. Yeah, and watching Hosken, Bombo, Lenny, and... Nevermind.
  2. Not only is buying one expensive, the return process is a nightmare.
  3. The other three guys haven’t exactly come back to haunt. Cano is the only one in the deal that anyone would want today.
  4. I know (or I think) you are joking, but I was telling this to a friend the other day. My wife of 36 years overheard, and this morning she said that she hoped I would start cheering for the Brewers because her life would get a lot happier.
  5. The Pohlads and this kind of approach have just beaten me down. I'm seriously thinking of trying to forget the Twins, the girl I always loved who hasn't loved me back in 20+ years. In fact, she makes fun of me by telling me she'll go out with me but never actually doing it. Time to find a small-market team that is actually working. Go Brewers! But we all know I will come crawling back the next time the Twins smile at me with a potentially good trade or a, gasp, mid-level FA signing. Then I will get stepped on again.
  6. I'm not sure I will go for a 10-year career, but if the bet is "he'll be out of baseball in two years", sign me up for the over. No question.
  7. True, I didn't randomly pick that sample. I was just providing more context to the 8 scoreless innings that started all this. Look at the whole year if you like. His ERA is 5.16, his WHIP is the same as it was in those 8 innings. His K rate is better for the full year than it was for those 8 innings. My point was, those 8 innings don't tell us much positive except he didn't give up a run. Pick any smaller sample you like to show me he's great, that's fine.
  8. Putting on my Travis Adams Skeptic hat... 8 IP, 0 runs ERA = 0.00 that's good 5 H, 6 BB, 5 K WHIP = 1.375, K/BB = 0.83, K/9 = 0.625 that's less good I'm still not convinced, but he had a good outing last night (against a team without much offense).
  9. He puts the ball in play and he runs it out hard. That's something to appreciate.
  10. They absolutely should sell but the Pohlads are holding out for too much money. Oh wait you meant something else?
  11. Great. Nice work. You have awoken Jontu and Cnthol. This is not going to end well.
  12. Just noticed that former Twin LaMonte Wade Jr. was called up by the Astros. Good luck to him, as long as he doesn't help them win a wild card spot.
  13. Henry Mendez for Bader's expiring contract looks pretty good. Garrett Horn for Coulombe's expiring contract too. Two pitchers for Castro's expiring contract. Jiminez for Dobnack and Paddack. Right now we could get any of those guys back for nothing or almost nothing. Wouldn't you characterize those as smart trades?
  14. Right, because all good pitchers who come up with the Twins continue to get re-signed and spend their entire productive careers with the Twins...trying to think of one...nope, I'm pretty sure that just doesn't happen.
