  1. That’s a league-wide trend https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/bunt-hits-declining-mlb-rcna157571
  2. FTFY France, Bader, and Gasper are symptoms of THE problem, and they are problems in and of themselves as a part of a team. im not sure how the budget got so mismanaged, but THE problem is something to do with 4 players making up half of the payroll, one of them is a backup catcher and two of them are 100 game at most players (amazing as they are for those 100 games). It ultimately falls on the Pohlads and Falvey.
  3. Johnathon Schoop edit to add: What a horrible uniform!
  4. Twins face a guy who sounds like a pirate dressing up as Ace Ventura for Halloween had better be a lefty heavy lineup
  5. Morneau said in the broadcast last night that Julien lost 10 lbs (?!) while sick.
  6. From super specific and obvious to could be any one of us @tony&rodney
  7. I have no idea who you could be talking about
  8. This is exactly why he was tendered the $10m contract. No one will claim him because they don’t want to pay him, and Dobnak wont reject the outright assignment, because he wont get better money elsewhere. There’s nothing here to be upset about, from Dobnak’s perspective he gets paid life changing money whether it’s for the Twins or the Saints
  9. ERA is subject to errors. The Twins were butchers in the field last year, yet they only committed 70 errors, ranked 28 third fewest errors in the league, while also ranked dead last in UZR 150. They had so few errors because they all just stood out there like statues. meanwhile Ryan ranked 8th in WHIP and 32 in WAR, Ober 9th in WHIP and 37th in WAR, and Lopez 47th in WHIP 29 in WAR. It’s good to limit base runners and throw a lot of innings, isn’t it?
  10. Ryan, Ober and Lopez were all top 40 starting pitchers last year. Last I checked there were 30 mlb teams, so while we can debate defining “ace” if we need to debate what a number 3 starter is, I’ve lost what little faith in the internet I once held…
  11. He absolutely was a very good pitcher in 23 and 24, and probably was more of a top 30 pitcher in ‘24. Agreed he does have the Twins best shot at it for Twins starters. But let’s be realistic here. The difference between number 5 and 30 is bigger than the difference between 30 and 55.
  12. All he has to do is increase his innings and strikeouts 15% and decrease his clunkers 75% from his best season in the bigs while not allowing his other variables change significantly. piece of cake, I wonder why he hasn’t done it yet?
  13. He threw away his shot… sorry, two hours late, but I’m not throwin’ away my shot
  14. They haven’t done the little things since Gardy
  15. As someone who’s lived in the dead zone in NW Wi where no TV carries the Twins but I’m in Twins territory on MLB.tv, it’s really nice being able to watch opening day from my office, while ostensibly working, then listening on my drive, now watching again while at my kids sports.
  16. Kiersey pinch running in the first game of the season. I like the sense of urgency
  17. In that scenario, wouldn’t Bader go to the bench? Larnach to LF, Miranda/France at DH/1B interchangeably.
  18. That’s automated. Tom didn’t add that link, TD adds the player baseball-reference pages and the ai failed us all
  19. The canary in the coal mine doesn’t sing, it dies, just like our pitiful hopes and dreams
