    I'm not quite there yet but if the offense continues as is for another couple months then it'll be time to see what they can get for him. Maybe the front office can redeem themselves for the franchise altering Mahle/Lopez disaster trades
  2. launchingthrees
    I'm very thankful Buxton's extension was signed while injury issues were looming so they weren't forced to give him any real money. Taking a toolsy player and shutting down the use of those tools in favor of turning him into a slightly above average DH just shows how fragile they feel he is physically. Frankly, I've never seen anything like it.
  3. launchingthrees
    I kept hearing that the 2nd year of team control was the reason he's here. But it doesn't really matter if he's going to continue throwing meatballs over the plate.
  4. launchingthrees
    Lopez really is just not a good pitcher is he? That BABIP regression has been painful to watch.
  5. launchingthrees
    Mahle has a career 4.2 FIP.. Giving up all of these assets for someone you' wouldn't be excited about pitching game 1 of a playoff series seems like a pretty big mistake.
  6. launchingthrees
    Feels a lot better than a sweep. Win 2 from the Rockies and go from there. The bullpen could use another long start though. A short start could be disastrous.
  7. launchingthrees
    The bullpen was getting a ton of volume over the past week. Good to see a bit of a reset tonight.
  8. launchingthrees
    Could be very fun to watch Martin, Arraez, AK, and Miranda in a batting order. The OBP would be something to behold. And it could happen as soon as next year.
  9. launchingthrees
    Canterino is almost 24 and has less than 50 innings pitched in the minors. This is a crucial stretch for him.
  10. launchingthrees
    I can't shake the feeling that Jose Miranda is one of the best 50 prospects in baseball. I can't remember a Twins prospect mashing AA/AAA like this at 22/23. 300+ at bats isn't that small of a sample. Wallner could move up quickly. Can't be long until we see him at AA.
  11. launchingthrees
    Small sample still but Jose Miranda learning how to hit would be a welcome addition to the farm system.
  12. launchingthrees
    I don't care too much either way. I'm just tired of watching him strike out. It's not fun I also think it's time to end the Polanco at SS experiment. He doesn't hit well enough to cover his bad defense. Bring up Lewis, Arraez at 2nd. Polanco will be a serviceable utility man.
  13. launchingthrees
    Go easy on the bullpen Rocco.
  14. launchingthrees
    Hmm. I wonder what happened. My impression was that he was going to be periodically contributing the whole year.

    Athletes have every right to make political statements like this. We have no right to tell them what they should do with their labor. This is also true for writers/reporters who are, by my measure, universally supporting the player's stance. Good for them. What else can they do? But it's important for everyone involved to understand that many may choose to tune out when sports are no longer an escape. There will be real financial consequences moving forward for franchises. Tv ratings should be much higher for the NBA and MLB than they are during covid. Engagement on reddit and other platforms should be higher than it is. Reporters are being shed at an astonishing rate from newspapers. Only this time, the athletic isn't scooping them up. Far from it. The Athletic layed off 8% of its staff in June and the writers who remained were forced to take a pay cut. More layoffs and paycuts will follow industry-wide. It will be interesting to watch play out.

    There's never been 2.2 innings of meaningful data. What did you think of his stuff?
  17. launchingthrees
    Bumgarner was taking offers from multiple teams, had interest in multiple teams. The reporting said he "left money on the table" That doesn't mean he couldn't be had. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/madison-bumgarner-diamondbacks-agree-to-five-year-85-million-contract-reports-say/
  18. launchingthrees
    I don't see any national writers supporting Gleeman's claim that the twins are offering big dollar contracts but no one wants to come here. Was this something leaked to him specifically so he would disseminate it? The story just isn't adding up. I'm starting to suspect they weren't willing to make the highest offer on a single top tier free agent.
  19. launchingthrees
    Well if we do this he'll have the job of his choice because he's a major asset.
  20. launchingthrees
    Yeah it seems like the stats just sort of disappear from their career stats. So AK's home runs won't be counted in his career minor league stats. He has a career postseason OPS of 1.191 with 5 home runs over 48 ABs.
  21. launchingthrees
    We may see a bullpen game in the playoffs and I'm excited for it.
  22. launchingthrees
    No even Buxton shied away.
  23. launchingthrees
    You are not the only one. It is glaring.
  24. launchingthrees
    Schoop has a better OPS vs RHP than LHP over his career.
  25. launchingthrees
    No. Because “many twins fans” didn’t believe that Zach Granite “should’ve taken over cf full time”
