  1. Morny lost when he talked about throwing something at his brothers head
  2. I’m still upset about that Lee at bat. Not competitive. I hope he gives me a reason to forget that soon.
  3. Brooks Lee talking about “playing our style of baseball “. And that would be?????
  4. Watching pregame introductions for Orioles. “Batting practice pitcher” gets a uniform and onfield recognition. Now there’s a job I’m qualified for!
  5. Some here do seem to have a quick trigger when it comes to Wallner. I agree he should be put in the 4 or 5 spot and left alone to do his thing. He’s not the worst major leaguer I’ve seen in RF and he’s a good bet to lead the team in RBIs (yes, they still matter) and possibly HRs if he’s healthy and they leave him alone.
  6. Agreed. And I just don’t see how he gets reinvented as a reliever with his FB in the high 80’s with no gimmick frisbee slider or whatever.
  7. Honestly, I hope all or at least some of these moves we’re dissing work out . I’ll gladly admit to being wrong if this turns out to be a somewhat competitive team. But I’ve been watching the Twins since the 1960’s, and there haven’t been too many times that I can remember where it looked this bad going into a season. How they’re going to market this mess is beyond me. Shouldn’t be hard to get a Target Field ticket at least. See you at the park.
  8. It’s sad that we’re talking about Kreidler at all. Nothing on him as a person, and he’s enjoyed more the baseball “dream” than any of us, but honestly no matter how many positions he could play, I won’t ever be paying my hard earned dollars to see him bat. We’re not a Ryan Kreidler away from being a playoff team this year. I’d rather the roster reflected an investment in the future as opposed to guys we know aren’t going to be here any longer than they have to be.
  9. Any chance Ober get extended Spring Training, or is that only for documented injuries or late signings? But then he’s been on schedule for throwing this off season and spring training so far, so maybe this is what he is?
  10. Orze pitching his way off the opening day roster, or has that already been decided?
  11. I’m in agreement. We deserve something nice once in a while.
  12. The Ober velocity thing feels ominous. I can’t even imagine what this rotation will look like come August.
  13. Margot. Still don’t get that one. Obvious from Day 1 that he wasn’t going to be “Buxton Insurance “ or trustworthy in any OF spot. Substandard hitter, and I can’t tell if Rocco just kept throwing him out there as a PH to set the record or if his spreadsheet wouldn’t update.
  14. Piling on with the leave him at 2nd comments. If the best reason to advocate for a switch to LF is to accommodate moving Brooks Lee to 2nd, then I think that’s flawed. If Lee hits his way into that conversation, well yeah then it’s a valid topic IMO. But until then , let’s actually develop a young talent in a stable position?
  15. Man I just hope we’re not talking next spring about the 350 PA’s Outman got ala 2024 Margot…
  16. Yeah I struggle to understand why this organization has treated the position as an apparent afterthought in recent years. Occasionally find some FA that holds it down, but we have this logjam of slow, lanky, left handers playing average to subpar outfield, and no one thinks to work them out at 1st?
  17. It seems forced to correlate Larnachs underwhelming roster redundancy with trying to fill a rotation spot. It’s not like the Lopez injury suddenly made us realize that Larnach (who I don’t hate) was not really adding anything, and likely causing a logjam on the roster. It’s just the same old bad/questionable roster construction that we’ve gotten used to.
  18. Oddly Gray generates the most excitement (?) for me when considering the 3 possibilities if you can squint and see a Kody Clemens type of outcome with passable play at SS
  19. I would rather see the Twins trade him than force him into a BP role that he doesn’t seem suited for. As he is, I think he’s the quintessential #4 or #5 guy, smoke and mirrors or whatever.
  20. Wow I’m pretty jealous that sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing. And thank you for your service to our country.
