    No, I am not interested in including base running in evaluating Mauer
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No one cares to mention Mauer's exceptional fielding? Let me do so now.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am confident that great days are ahead for our baseball team. … Led by (manager) Paul Molitor and Joe Mauer, there is a great deal of talent and character in that clubhouse.” I read this as both will be back in 2019. I think they need to move on from Molitor, not because I don’t like him, but because he seems to be at odds with their vision. Mauer is an easy call to sign back, in my opinion.

    ooooh that's interesting. In need of an outfielder but none available. I have no idea if Buxton/Granite/Wade are about ready to come off the DL. If so, I would limp along with Rosario/Cave/Kepler for a game or three and Adrianza as th backup, until one of those three are ready, then I would just recall them from the minor league DL. If none of those three figure to be ready soon then Plan B and one of the recently acquired waiver or trade guys, I guess. Just my 2 cents. Edit: forgot about Motter. (I know right?)
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great description of the Cave-Duffy at bat. Lots of stuff happened late but that was a huge moment I would think.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    we have to read these stupid things before commenting?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Pohlad's reputation for cheapness is well earned! And in fact the front office did trade away Lynn and Hughes, two of their three top paid pitchers, and Dozier, highest paid position player after Mauer. The Forsythe salary swap is getting in the weeds and I wouldn't expect a typical fan to take in and retain information like that. I would guess most typical fans just want to win and have fun, root for their favorite players, and any chance of that continuing in 2018 was brought to an abrupt halt at the trade deadline.
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I lean toward yes, they should have stayed away. Twenty-nine other teams did. The front office did some things right, but as for the big things, they got most of them wrong. Posters here just are not acknowledging that. Just my opinion, I think. Sometimes I don't know what team other people are looking at.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's good to see Moya. But "lights out" is a pretty high standard in a season the front office has quit trying to win. I think a couple of those guys should be called up too.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't recall a "Go get Oliver Drake" thread, but, I have been wrong before.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So, I'll play: "That the same front office who botched the previous offseason is the same front office to trust in this next offseason." Thoughts?
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Next time maybe tease your article with a better excerpt? A person on Twitter either knowingly or unknowingly called the owner of the Twins "Carl." Therefore, another person on Twitter decided it's no use explaining to people how dumb they are? Who are the infielders the Twins are looking at since Dozier and Escobar were traded? What the sell crowd refuses to consider is the value of winning, goodwill, all those intangibles which are not worth getting into here. The Twins have a four game series with Cleveland coming up. They should have waited to sell at least until that time.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will always root for wins!
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Now I see why the front office wanted this guy. He has a fluke-y delivery, "tough to pick up the ball"
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    7-8-9 batters don't stand a chance
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yeah get it right don't make the front office look bad
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I like Cave too. I think he take's Grossman's role next year.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Fair. That hasn't been coming through in the recent posts. Yeah I was fed up with Dozier too. And Lynn. And Morrison. (and Sano and Polanco and Rodney and...) ... and the front office. I hope they reflect hard on every move they made this season.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    "much more evidence" What is it? We have a sentence from LaVelle. That's it. If someone has something on the radio they heard they haven't shared it, and I'm open to that information. I'm still looking for dollar figures, too. Anyone? Doogie? And do we have to rehash LaVelle's record as a so-called beat writer?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    oh, so Dozier should have filed and signed the paperwork to release Lance Lynn? Interesting.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Keep Escobar and Dozier and win more games in the stretch, maybe even make the race interesting, and most important, keep good will with the fan base. The Lynn trade and a couple of those others could have still happened and we would still have had a couple prospects to show for it.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No sir, unfortunately they are not! We should be so lucky.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good point. People are going to believe what they want to believe. We are seeing that a lot lately and not just in baseball. I doubt it. If LaVelle said it after the trade, then it sounds a lot like damage control to me. That's fine; we all spin. The front office needs to spin. I just have a hard time believing it. I doubt the front office made Escobar an offer and he rejected it, which is what the poster I responded to is implying.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure that answers the question.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    They might not finish second. So, F I hope we can look back on this as a year of mistakes, and I hope the front office learns from those mistakes.
