    Did you look at that list of relievers? I’m not asking for $700 million. What about another $10 million? Or does money just not matter?
  2. big dog
    Um, spending money is not irrelevant. The point is that those teams spent money, even if they had to spend it. The Twins aren't. At least not enough.
  3. big dog
    Didn’t both those guys come in with new GMs? They didn’t do this single-handedly. Also both those teams spend money. I’m not defending Baldelli but just a new manager isn’t going to fix this team.

    For years I've looked forward to when I could retire, with a big plan being spend some time in Fort Myers at spring training. I retire this summer. At this point if I go to Fort Myers it will be for the fishing. This article really drives home the point of how ridiculous this has been. If they don't care, why should I?

    Twins win, 1-0!! Or Mets win, 1-0 on an unearned run...

    mlb.tv is giving me the loading circle of death. I'm gonna turn on Mel Jass.
  7. big dog
    Oh jeez. He better be ok.
  8. big dog
    Wow, I had forgotten all about Mel Jass. What a blast from the past.

    Pot, stirred? Check.

    Well, one out of one is a high percentage, but a pretty small sample size.

    As we are constantly reminded, April games count just as much as September games. Mr. Rule 5 was bad this spring. Do we want to have him blow three games to see if that is really the case? I'm not a huge Dobnak guy, but if he gives us the best chance to win April games I'm ready to see him.

    Last year's first baseman had an OPS of .749 and people were excited. We might get that this year, but with a lot less defense than either Joe or Santana.

    The Twins started calling him "Bluegill" Hughes during that hot start, after Catfish Hunter. DIdn't end well, but it was a fun start.

    I want to know what was up with Morrison in 2017. He hit 38 homers, previous career highs were 23 and 17. OPS+ was 133, his best year by far. Twins signed him late and he sulked about not getting a multi-year contract from anyone. Bad year with us in 2018 (95 games, OPS+ of 74, thanks for the memories), played 29 games with the Phillies 2019, played 9 games with the Brewers in 2020. Never appeared in the majors again. Played in Triple A (16 games) in 2021, then finished in Indy ball in 2022. What happened in 2017?? (and a followup, what did every major league club know or suspect that led to him getting a late one-year deal?) If it was some kind of performance-enhancing something, he had the best doctor in the history of baseball. I know performance fluctuates, obviously, but...wow.
  15. big dog
    Or he went to a park where warning track flies were either homers or doubles? I remember him saying the Sox told him just to swing away.
  16. big dog
    To quote Christopher Walken on SNL: I Need. More. Wallner. Enough with the pinch-hitting for him.
  17. big dog
    Let's hope that he pitches again soon. As in, before 2026.
  18. big dog
    He's throwing, anyway. Not so sure about the pitching. Rough year.
  19. big dog
    Aaron Hicks.
  20. big dog
    No kidding. About freaking time.
  21. big dog
    Yup, a week of spring training should be enough to get all those kinks out. 🙄
  22. big dog
    Once he saw that the Sox signed Clevinger, Gallo, and Michael A. Taylor he immediately thought "That's the kind of free agent aggressiveness I want to have". The Twins had no chance after those power moves.
  23. big dog
    oooh, Molitor's a great choice...
  24. big dog
    Rich Becker, for the win!
  25. big dog
    Yeah, plus it's the A's so there isn't much risk anyway. Will it keep them out of the playoffs? Will it turn off the Sacramento fans? Ownership doesn't care.
