  1. Looking like Syndergaard will stay a Met https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/07/noah-syndergaard-doesnt-expect-trade.html
  2. ... Brett Veach... google search.... Oh, so you’re saying the Twins should trade for Tyreek Hill?
  3. What I hear Seth saying is that we still root for the players, other fans and community, regardless of what happens.
  4. Are we using Roman now with Romo now? Also, II-I after IX, no? Did they have a zero?
  5. 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.
  6. He can, but he’s no George Bush... http://www.tvworthwatching.com/img/pages/POLP0PDXVWO3IAT.jpg
  7. The fake check swing call—that was a nice touch
  8. By my reading of it, the circumstances under which the Twins came to the media with it seems pretty consistent with what the other poster is saying. Just my opinion. In any case, the Twins still had a couple days to negotiate, should the Mets demands come down. Apparently the Twins thought it was hopeless—also very possible.
  9. Jeebus who’s older, Romo or Prado??
  10. *poster slinks away, never to post again* .
  11. A little more “chalant” on those catches, please, Rosario.
  12. Why shouldn’t the Mets ask about Buxton? It’s the early stages of talks. Syndergaard is potentially elite. There’s nothing “incorrect” being put forth here. We’re just having a conversation.
  13. Buxton's trade value just went up! Syndergaard + deGrom for Buxton?
  14. The Trevor Bauer rumor pendulum is swinging back to "trade him" https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/07/trevor-bauer-trade-rumors-reds-indians.html
  15. Ok I’ve got lots of dates penciled in. Any of those that I should highlight in particular?
  16. Seems like the Twins front office would have more to gain by being tight-lipped for the next 36 hours.
  17. I wonder what the motivation is for the “multiple sources” who told this to LaValle. Or even how serious the Mets were. (“We demand Buxton!” versus “how do you feel about Byron these days?”) Then, how the Mets feel about seeing this in print.
  18. Ok, I believe you. Though I can’t shake the impression he is more vulnerable to righties and breaking pitches. Houston’s strongest starting pitchers are right-handers. Obviously I don’t know the underlying pitch and swing data to tell you if Sano is vulnerable to those Houston starters in a potential postseason series. Nor do I think that data should be factored in thinking about trade scenarios with him.
  19. I like Sano. As I stated. Where did I present a false narrative? It just my belief that in contrast to your “incredibly disciplined” narrative (which I agree with), there is also an “incredibly undisciplined” side of him, which you see in the blow-by-blow, now-he’s-hot, now-he’s-not, conversation that takes place on this site. His next four-strikeout games is always just around the corner, no? To your comment that “Sano may be the least vulnerable to post-season caliber pitching”, Sano has a platoon spit, which I personally believe is due to his tendency to chase breaking pitches from righties, not swing for the moon (he has no other way of swinging). I think Parker also had a chart that showed some holes in his swing. Anyway Sano’s platoon split is in even sharper contrast when you look at just Astros and Yankees starting pitchers I assume the Twins will or should face in the postseason. Small sample alert but I think it’s foolish to discount this split entirely. I am compiling that info and can post if you wish.
  20. Only the second half of the article. The first half was written by Sergio Romo’s agent.
  21. Miami is hosting their final game in the series against the D-Backs tonight—so he might even get to meet Eduardo Escobar today! Rumor has it that the Twins players have something up their sleeves* for Escobar... * heard something about it on the radio broadcast yesterday
