  1. The Twins and WSox play 4 games. If the Twins win out, 1 and 4 are done ;)
  2. Comparing anyone to Cal “Iron Man and MLB record holder” Ripken is not fair. Agreed, fleecing is just as nonsensical as Iron Man. Injuries are going to happen, it’s the nature of the game. I think it makes sense to experiment with different tactics to try to improve player availability. One season with Buxton does not a trend make. I hope the FO continues to try, and hopefully succeed to a greater extent next year. If they don’t, the apparent market inefficiency they think they found, will sure be their demise.
  3. I’m not exactly sure why, but I would feel less bad about cheering on Cleveland in the post season.
  4. My assumption is the FO won’t do any external transactions for the rotation. my prediction: Gray, Mahle, Ryan, Maeda, Paddack Ober, Winder, SWR as the primary reserves in AAA. Dark horse candidate for the rotation: Duran if this is an accurate prediction, the bullpen will continue to be critical to get right. It was vastly improved in the second half of the year, it’ll need to continue to improve.
  5. That’s not really how stretch goals work. If you sandbag it, you frequently meet your goals, but never achieve excellence. If you set stretch goals, you accomplish greater achievements, but rarely meet your goals. I guess I sandbag my fandom. I volunteer here as a moderator, but keep very open-ended expectations of the team as I don’t have any control over them.
  6. I watched the first episode and struggled. Does it get in the second ep?
  7. Winning 101 games doesn’t count as winning, but winning 85 and World Series does? If the only thing you care about is winning a World Series, good luck!
  8. Super-duper encouraged to see Joe’s last two starts, late in the season, pitched the most innings he’s ever pitched. Great to see him shake the doldrums and end the season strong and competitive!
  9. December 1, 2021 every team in baseball has a plan to sign as many starting pitchers as they can… every team except the Twins, who sign Dylan Bundy, apparently shocked at the hording of premium assets leading up to the lockout. it gets worse from there…
  10. That’s it, he’s a league average to below league average hitter at an offense first fielding position.
  11. Kep is due 8.5 mil next year plus a 1m buy out on his ‘24 10m option. what would you give up for 1 year of Kepler at $9.5m? As much as I know the FO likes scrap heap relievers, I bet we see Kep again next year
  12. Good question! There’s a significant contingent of cord cutters in these parts, I’m one of them, now. the hard part is TV bundles are very regional. I live in Wisconsin and my local telephone cooperative was (when I lived in my cooperative service area, now I live in Comcast’s and SUUUUCKS!) by far the best deal for the full bundle. If your area has the telephone coop still, make sure to add them to your comparison list. The big companies (Spectrum, ATT/DirecTV, Comcast/Xfinity) are all pretty much the same. The one advantage to the big carriers is you can add your cell to the package too, which might save you some money.
  13. Yeah, it’s fermented like sour kraut
  14. Thoroughly enjoyed reading about your journey RB! Thanks for sharing!
  15. I love Kim chi! To each their own I guess
  16. Ads lately have been popping up faster than my phone/browser can handle. It glitched 7 times in the time it took me to write this post
  17. More? I get the pulling him at 106, but I sure as heck don’t like it!
