  1. I'm surprised this wasn't autocorrected to say, the Ace Syndergaard...
  2. I’ve noticed a lot of complaining about the complainers. Complaining is part of being a fan for some of us. I’d say 90+ percent of us who are complaining are all in on winning this thing.
  3. Then again, how often do we see people in Leipold’s position double down and not consider that they are at fault? Far too often, nowadays.
  4. I can imagine the conversation on the mound at the start of the ninth. “Hi I’m Jason. I’m the catcher for the Minnesota Twins, as you can probably tell, with all this gear I have on! Anyway, it’s good to meet you—oh here comes the umpire. Quickly, we use 1 for fastball, 2 for curve, 3 for change up. Pretty standard stuff. Oh, just out of curiosity, do you even throw a change?”
  5. They could be worth more, or they could be worth less. (With the usual caveat that we are talking about people so obviously we wish them well.) Do you remember when Pittsburgh was shopping Gerrit Cole? And who the Twins better prospects were at that time? Is that a trade you would try to negotiate in hindsight?
  6. If GMs cannot agree on what “fair” means here at the deadline, they are not likely to agree in the offseason either.
  7. I agree with this, and part of it must be because the published prospect values we see on sites like Fangraphs are sometimes very different from the values teams keep internally.
  8. I’m not holding my breath. It feels to me like they are afraid of a trade failing, or that the player they trade away will play well somewhere else. News flash: all of Larnach, Kirilloff and Rooker will make the majors, and probably hit well too. However, not all of them will hold down a Twins corner outfield starting job at the same time. Maybe the long game is that hoarding prospects is the way to win, even if some of them are left too long on the vine. But we’ve seen teams win by trading prospects, too.
  9. He has 8.5 million reasons not to be offended
  10. I felt the deadline overall was good for fans around MLB in general. The trend seemed to be for more teams to sell their seasons short, but that didn’t happen this year. The Twins got some needed bullpen help, but it still feels like they could have done more. I argued for a long time they should trade Nick Gordon for pitching. I’ve been arguing they should trade one of Larnach/Kirilloff/Rooker. I don’t know what they have planned for those three guys together.
  11. True enough. I'm not privy to their position on that.
  12. I wonder what the Yankees bid on Greinke was. The Twins could mash the Yankees lefty-dominated rotation and surprising as it is to say, but the Yankees could maybe use Greinke in a possible matchup against the Twins
  13. 2:48 PM, and we haven’t even entered the final turn of the Daytona 500 yet
  14. Looking like Syndergaard will stay a Met https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/07/noah-syndergaard-doesnt-expect-trade.html
  15. ... Brett Veach... google search.... Oh, so you’re saying the Twins should trade for Tyreek Hill?
  16. What I hear Seth saying is that we still root for the players, other fans and community, regardless of what happens.
  17. Are we using Roman now with Romo now? Also, II-I after IX, no? Did they have a zero?
  18. I’m not against Falvey and Levine. On the other hand, I don’t think they are anything special, either. But it’s naive to imply LaVelle is a straight reporter of Twins news. He’s an organ of management, period.
  19. He can, but he’s no George Bush... http://www.tvworthwatching.com/img/pages/POLP0PDXVWO3IAT.jpg
