    Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but trading guys with 2+ years of control left was also unprecedented for Falvey and more of an indication of a rebuild
  2. The Great Hambino
    That's a hell of a euphemism for marrying into the WalMart family
  3. The Great Hambino
    No, he'll definitely win 3 Cy Youngs in the next 2 years
  4. The Great Hambino
    What are we doing here? He's safe
  5. The Great Hambino
    He has Super Bowl, NBA, NHL, and Premier League championships. I sense a pattern
  6. The Great Hambino
    Eff it, let him go til he gives up a run
  7. The Great Hambino
    Priellip thought that was gone

    The hockey helmet ... why?

    Hey, Emma's gonna be on SportsCenter!

    You should pay a premium so you don't have to sit sideways
  11. The Great Hambino
    Juuuuuust a bit outside
  12. The Great Hambino
    I have a real feeling that a game will be started at QB by someone not currently on the roster at some point this year
  13. The Great Hambino
    Unless they find a way to lose twice tonight, which I suppose I can't completely rule out
  14. The Great Hambino
    Ugh. From personal experience, labral repair of the hip is ... unpleasant. No wonder he couldn't function
  15. The Great Hambino
    Hopefully Buck can make like Keyser Soze and straighten out his walk

    The odds of Wentz staying healthy and effective for a significant stretch of time are so miniscule that it's probably a moot point. And concussions are so finnicky that they have plenty of cover to keep Murray on the shelf if by some miracle Wentz outguns Caleb Williams in a shootout, which is probably what will have to happen for them to win. Murray will get another chance to start one way or another

    Sign me up for that - he was kind to a nine-year-old Hambino and his family in an autograph line on a rainy night in KC many moons ago Also, 1991 Re: the topic of the thread, I gotta feel like any save opportunities the rest of the year would be better served going to a young member of the staff that might be asked to do it in the future. Not so much for evaluation purposes (how much info can you really get out of, like, two or three save opps?), but just so if/when they're asked to do it in the future when it might actually matter, it doesn't have to be the first time they've done it. Or let Rogers gun for the top 10. Whatev, it doesn't really matter

    At the absolute very least, you should be allowed to bite that owner
  19. The Great Hambino
    I mean, both can be true. But they did render an NFL offense non-functional for a half. I'm not gonna write em off just yet. Also, this is making the Texans offense look even better by comparison as well. The Lions might be a Jahmyr Gibbs injury away from being rendered the Titans on that side of the ball
  20. The Great Hambino
    It's possible that the Bills are just an absolute juggernaut. They put up 36 on the Texans in Houston, and we might end up looking back at that as a reasonably solid effort from the Texans

    I'm operating under the assumption that both Ryan and Lopez are coming back. I don't think Lopez has a market this offseason given the injury (maybe at the deadline if things break a certain way, but there's a lot of ifs involved in that scenario playing out), and I think if they were gonna trade Ryan, they would've by now. I'm more inclined to keep both Kremer and Ober if one or both of Lopez and Ryan are moved. But keeping and acquiring guys like Kremer and Ober is pretty in line with what I see as Falvey's overarching philosophy of raising the floor. It was needed when he came on board for a franchise that had lost 90+ in 5 of 6 seasons from 2011-2016, but the end result has been consistent win totals in the 70s instead of in the 60s. I'm tired of raising the floor. The time has come to raise the ceiling.

    I think they can retain Kremer OR Ober, not Kremer AND Ober You can't have a competitive plan based around the ascendence of young, minimum-salaried starting pitching, and then have two guys being paid arb-3 prices (let's say $7-$8MM each) that must be kept in the back of your rotation. And it's easy to see a world where they become the 2027 version of Archer and Bundy weighing down 40% of the rotation Either open the slot up for competition among the young guys (who also retain the flexibility to be shuttled between Mpls and St Paul based on performance and health as needed), or use the savings toward a true difference-maker that actually raises the ceiling of the rotation, whether acquired via trade or free agency. Kremer and Ober are redundant since they give you the same thing: reliable innings volume that you wouldn't want to trust starting a playoff game I'm starting to think that Kremer was targeted to be Ober's replacement for next year. Given Kremer's recovery from injury and Ober's increasing reliance on smoke and mirrors to get by, I know who I would be betting on to be more reliable next year But I wouldn't jettison both of them. We saw just this year how quickly starting pitching depth can evaporate.
  23. The Great Hambino
    Well, Kreidler certainly is walking off
  24. The Great Hambino
    Makes sense - every catch is a trick catch for Keashall
  25. The Great Hambino
    They need to scope out some relievers named Wednesday, Fester, and Thing
