    I'll give TwinsTV this: Big Inning is a major improvement in rain delay programming

    There I give Correa props for trying to tag without the ball

    Is that a Mormon thing?

    Helps that Narvaez has forgotten how to catch the ball
  10. The Great Hambino
    Time to score 2, finish the inning, and incite a brawl until the rains come

    Detroit Free Press is reporting that Dobnak is tagging along with Paddack. The return is Enrique Jiminez, a 19 year old catcher in the FCL. And salary relief, I guess

    Now pitching: the Cowardly Lion

    We've been Funderstruck
  15. The Great Hambino
    That wasn't Bader's finest moment
  16. The Great Hambino
    Good for Metellus It seems like the Vikings never have ugly contract holdouts like the Bengals always seem to have. The Vikings also always rate at the top of those NFLPA organization surveys, while the Bengals are at the bottom. I don't think these are coincidences.

    You're just looking at it upside down

    I'm talking about the M hats. The M hats are 0-6 on the road all-time in the World Series
  19. The Great Hambino
    I prefer to think of them as 0-6 on the road all-time in the World Series
  20. The Great Hambino
    Pretty sure I saw Lee miss that grounder a few days ago
  21. The Great Hambino
    This may be an unpopular opinion, but the Metrodome era M hats were AWFUL. I hope they're not trying to bring them back more often. Go ahead and replace the dollar store Marlins M, but don't you dare encroach on the TC

    This is a good point - I’ve been pretty critical of Joe’s mismanagement of the big contracts followed by right-sizing in short order, but it’s very possible that his uncles pulled the rug out from under him and he was left to fall on the grenade for the family like he did with their failed radio stations. He may just be the family patsy. It still puts the blame on ownership, but maybe not just Joe specifically
  23. The Great Hambino
    That's an even bigger indictment of ownership if they greenlit a $200MM, 6 year contract and a 3 year, $72MM extension based on a one-time $50MM windfall
  24. The Great Hambino
    I agree that that sort of allocation is tough for a mid-market team, but in the Twins' case I don't blame the front office for that. It was Joe Pohlad who signed off on the Correa contract and Lopez extension, only to do all his "right-sizing" nonsense a few months later. You can't say he was forced into it by the TV situation because those issues were known well before those contracts were signed. Since I highly doubt Falvey went rogue in signing these contracts given that he's been granted more power within the organization since they were signed, one of two scenarios must be true: 1. The coming reduction in payroll was known to Falvey, and ownership was in full agreement with signing these contracts anyway 2. The coming reduction in payroll was not known to Falvey, and ownership pulled the right-sized rug out from under him. Personally, I lean more toward scenario 2. But either way, it's on the nepo-owner

    Re: robot strike zones I am in favor of it, but not because the umpires are bad. As has been stated by multiple others, MLB umps are mostly really good at their jobs - I think that's one reason why the bad ones stick out. I think it's just not reasonable to ask a human eyeball to accurately call pitches on the edge of the zone, especially at the bottom of the zone with all the late-movement nastiness these lab-created breaking pitches can have. I hear the arguments about removing the human element. To me, the human element should be limited to players and coaches as much as possible. If we have the technology to remove external human element in a manner that doesn't distractingly bog down the game, we should use it.
