    Damn! I cannot say I am displeased with the starting 9. This signing certainly gives context to this goofy cryptic Tweet from yesterday:

    Well you were right they did trade Donaldson! i really thought Kiner-Falefa was going to be the full time short stop for the next year or two until Royce Lewis was ready for his chance, or Martin. There was some logic to that move to acquire him. But now Kiner-Falefa gets traded right away again to the Yankees. So What do I know?
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It’s just us. Although, Texas, Cinci and the Yankees have been involved in some recent moves as well.

    I was looking forward to watching our rag tag bunch of misfits from last year oh well. Go Twins!
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree. Garver is the better guy to have than Sanchez.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sunday Bloody Sunday
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You are in mid-season form already. I love it!

    I can’t explain it. “Larger bases for you players, so that fewer of you get injured.” It’s a weird bargaining chip and the evidence for it seems dubious.

    Indeed, if the Twins front office carried a player on the big league roster for ten years but never put them in a game, you might find a way to praise them for smart roster management! The rest of your post is the usual pro-owner, anti-player stuff, and we’ve all went circles on this so many times, and few of us have any desire to engage anymore.

    Actually, for the times we are living in, that doesn’t sound like a far-fetched scenario to me (except for the last part).
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’m hearing that the players countered with bringing back the neighborhood play on double plays at second
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bang-bang play at first!
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bad weather coverings? No indeedy! It’s the owners proposed new larger bases!
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I firmly believe the Twins would have won that game, if Hosken Powell could have come around to bat again in the ninth. ?

    One of my favorite players as a kid - and I don’t know why. maybe I was at the game he homered off of Palmer? My father liked to take me to games when the Twins were facing great pitchers. I have distinct memories of seeing (or being at) Fidrych and Nolan Ryan game at the Met, and seeing a lot of Dave Goltz games. Hosken Powell also homered off of Fergie Jenkins his rookie season! (had to dig through the game logs for that one)

    I’m so glad we can talk about this. I was in the studio audience that day. Although I cannot tell you who won, I am not under the same confidentiality, and can share some stuff. So... Shall we have a look at the categories? i think you’ll be pleasantly surprised: , . . . and last..
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yikes! Glad you finally made it. I’m tagging the admin so that they see your comment, for their awareness @Brock Beauchamp
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agreed — welcome to Twins Daily!
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good question. I’ve seen this question raised in this forum before, and there were at least a couple interesting names that posters came up with, but I did not have that thread bookmarked unfortunately. Actually, Paul Molitor might be one example, a guy who was healthier later in his career.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Same with player opt-outs. If a player is exceeding his contract by so much that he wants to exercise an opt out that he has, how is that a bad thing? But, we don't offer player options in Twins Territory.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I see your point, but I have to disagree. Think back to the early 2000s Twins teams. Those teams were full of alpha's alphas: Torii, Dougie, AJ, Everyday Eddie. For sure. Those are guys who wanted to be in the big spot in the biggest moment. But then think about the late 2000s Twins teams. That quality was missing in those teams, in my opinion. I cannot say that half the players in the league have that "Eddie" quality. I cannot say that even a smaller fraction has that quality. Call it heart, instinct, winner, whatever you want. How many players try to tag to second base on a fly ball to left field --- in the World Series. And get away with it. That's what I'm trying to describe.

    The Braves executives did not view Eddie Rosario as a “low end trade commodity” any more than they viewed Freddie Freeman as an “expiring asset” that other teams might bid on. So that’s one difference. The players knew who Eddie Rosario was when he arrived, that he wants to be the guy at the plate in the biggest moments and is capable of carrying the whole team on his back when he’s in the zone. And therein ends my bitter screed for the week.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Those other guys had career All-Star type seasons this season. The only one comparable from your list is Odorizzi’s 2019 season. (Edit; Odorizzi is pitching for Houston in Game 1 of the World Series as I type this.) Anything is possible and hope springs eternal in March but it’s a long shot. For 2022, I like the idea of trading and developing.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    what on gods green earth makes you think this front office can identify a potential bargain like one of those guys

    Atlanta trails L.A. in Game 7 by four runs. Bottom of seventh, one out, nobody on, Atlanta needs a rally. Suddenly, a streaker runs onto field, delaying the game. The game is halted for... wait, the streaker is Eddie Rosario! The athletic Rosario, dressed only in socks and cleats, runs into the outfield to the stadium sound of Oooooh, neither a boo nor a cheer. Rosario eludes security easily, running here and there in the outfield to do calisthenics, fake dramatic slow-motion home run swings, and short sprints away from the stadium personnel when necessary. Contrary to policy, the network broadcasts the whole thing live on television. Finally, after 14 minutes, Rosario sprints to the fence. He climbs over and disappears through the service tunnel. After some headshaking and regrouping, the game resumes. Atlanta rallies. Rosario’s replacement contributes with an RBI double and run scored. Atlanta comes back to win Game 7 to go on to the 2021 World Series. Rosario is named MVP of the NLCS in absentia.
