  1. It’s still only two pitchers
  2. Ryan was traded for on July 29, pitched in the Olympics and then reported to the Twins on August 15. He’s been a Twin for a month. How much molding and team building happen in a month? he’s 25…
  3. Time and quality seem to have unclear definitions. 2021 pitchers signed were all failures objectively. Prior to 2021, how do Falvey and Levine compare to alternatives (other executives) in regards to free agents signed in dollar parameters? Acquiring prospects have a different timeline than free agents or ML trades. How do you evaluate that time? im very unhappy with this season, but I’m not exactly sure how to do the evaluation comparing them to who might be available to do a better job.
  4. While I agree with the OP that Pineda is on the decline and won’t get any healthier, this Team needs to acquire 3 starting pitchers this offseason. They won’t sign 3 multi-year at 20 million per season free agents. If Pineda is the 4th or 5th starter, the worst acquired, and a Happ type signing, that’s OK. If Pineda is the best pitcher they acquire, there’s a problem.
  5. 120-130 if no one has any extended IL stints. There’s plenty of room for Arraez
  6. Mine…. Are not… but we are in process
  7. To be transparent, I had a broom queued up instead of the rooster, but decided to look it up, just in case… I almost made the same mistake
  8. Alright Duffey, let’s close this out
  9. Banter? yes I’ve put my nohitter banter away
  10. Holy crap! Tune in just in time to see the perfect game get broken up
  11. They’ve been competitive, no doubt, and Kenta Maeda was a quintessential component to that success. 2021’s free agent acquisitions were not an outlier, they were the MO of this organization for my entire life. Sometimes they catch Jack Morris in a bottle, usually they catch Shoemaker in a bottle.
  12. Maybe not even “fine with it” but I’ve become so used to disappointment with level of outside investment by the Twins (regardless of who the head honcho is) that I’ve conditioned myself to expect less than the basic necessity of competing. It’s always trying to catch lightning in a bottle… sigh…
