    That's a great term for all of the nitpickers and second guessers sitting at home.
  2. DJL44
    Are you saying Brent Rooker wasn't worth drafting? That's a hot take considering his success the past two seasons.
  3. DJL44
    He returned Pagan and Paddack in trade, that's not "giving up on him". There are only 40 roster spots, they can't hang onto everyone forever. I suppose they could have traded for him when Oakland got him on waivers for nothing but there are dozens of other players who went through waivers unclaimed and then improved enough to help their team win. Adolis Garcia was let go by two different teams on waivers. Is "Did the Twins make a mistake by passing up Adolis Garcia on waivers?" the article tomorrow?

    Duran has great velocity but often lousy location.
  5. DJL44
    If the problem is he is getting pitched around then he needs to learn how to take his walks. If he's expanding the zone to try to hit garbage that is a big problem. My guess is he's at exactly the right level for his development.

    FWIW nobody else in MLB seems to be interested in giving Helman a chance.
  7. DJL44
    And they brought up Boushley which makes some sense because they want a long reliever and Alcala is a short reliever. There is an open spot on the 40 man roster. They don't really need to open a spot to add anyone since Topa is eligible for the 60 man IL.

    Severino is having an awful season.
  9. DJL44
    Blewett has pitched a LOT better than Alcala in AAA.

    Keirsey could be just as bad at the plate as Margot but would be a better defender. I'm okay with making him the CF when Buxton is injured (instead of calling up Martin) but there's not a good reason to keep him on the roster when Buxton is available.

    Amazon knows my exact street address. How would a VPN fool them?

    I get to watch one game a month and Apple decides no, you'd really rather watch the Rays play the Jays for two straight innings. You can break into a "perfect game" with 2 outs in the 9th, not in the 7th.
  13. DJL44
    This could easily be the last season for regional broadcasting of games.
  14. DJL44
    I have Prime. They don't show Twins games in-market.
  15. DJL44
    Nothing is more "on-brand" for the Twins than getting swept by the Yankees at home
  16. DJL44
    One of the handful of games I will watch on TV this season.

    Comcast is Peacock.
  18. DJL44
    Steve Garvey is the Dodgers' fault.
  19. DJL44
    MLB was negotiating with Peacock to show the Sunday baseball games before they decided to go with Roku. The streaming wars are pretty fierce with the Paramount merger looming, the proposed Diamond sports buyout by Amazon Prime and the Venu sports streaming service announcement.
  20. DJL44
    No, the other way around. Comcast has the power to kill Diamond and eliminate a competitor. I am guessing Comcast's terms for carrying Diamond Sports are bad enough that Diamond would still go bankrupt if they accept.
  21. DJL44
    Comcast is a competitor to Diamond with its own channels providing sports programming. Killing their competitor (and damaging their future prospects with Amazon Prime) might be the primary goal of this standoff.
  22. DJL44
    I guess I should have put ALSO in between I and don't because I was agreeing with you, then adding context. If you let in Rose and Jackson then you might as well burn the building to the ground.
  23. DJL44
    Buck is right. Kendrick pwnd Drake.
  24. DJL44
    I don't see those things as equivalent at all. The penalty for betting on games has been a permanent ban since the Black Sox scandal. People using steroids to try to be in peak physical shape so they can win baseball games is very different than people throwing games to make money for gamblers. The penalty for steroids for the first few seasons was nothing at all. It's cheating, but similar to doctoring a baseball, corking a bat or stealing signs. Even now the penalty is a half year suspension for the first offense. If you want to "suspend" Bonds or Clemens for a couple seasons that's fine with me but they were Hall of Fame players long before they took steroids. As for Rose in particular, even if they lifted the ban I'm pretty sure the Era Committee would keep him out. The other Hall of Famers don't want him around ruining induction weekend. He's a pretty awful human being.
  25. DJL44
    It looks a lot better when you see that Polanco is leading the league in strikeouts and has been mostly worthless this season. Neither team is getting any MLB help from that trade in 2024.
