    no surprise, they just traded away their second best player after 4 wins in a row.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's just a strong feeling and it's just betting on dinner-- not betting the farm. We'll see. We can continue to debate and argue in other threads, but the bottom line is the front office inherited an 85-win team in 2017, and here we are in 2018, in a weak division, selling. Hoping they learn some lessons and come back ready to take the prize in 2019. They already have the pieces.

    Eduardo Escobar was 2-4 with a walk, double, and two runs in a Snakes victory.

    Cave canem means "beware of dog" in Latin your welcome!

    I have a strong drive to believe that the two guys in the Twins jersey and old green North Stars jersey are ashburyjohn and ashbury junior. Can anyone confirm??
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Can somebody call time out, and find out if Garver realizes someone just stole third?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    well, ok, sure, most of that is true, but it's just the management point of view. And the one big detail you are ignoring, intentionally or not (not sure), is that this is a pennant race. This is not the offseason free agency period when teams are still forming. This was the team that needed to rally and make a run. Not likely it would have happened, but barring something really extraordinary now, we will never know. And here's the kicker: these are guys, Falvey and Levine, who will sell off at the first opportunity, but I will bet you dinner they are not the kind of GMs who will trade prospects for a rental to put them over the top. Not a chance.

    Fixed - you're welcome

    No, "getting crushed in a playoff series" is not the goal. I've already told you I think you bring a different perspective to these discussions, but ya know, I don't think the corporate schtick applies to every issue that arises with this team. In this world view you present, the Escobar trade is well received in front of the board, but what about in front of the employees? I would like to know what happens if and when Falvey or Levine close the doors of the clubhouse to tell the players how trading Escobar is for the best for the long term health of Pohlad's business. How do you suppose such a talk would be received?
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No, I'm still not counting out the Twins necessary... Escobar could have played second. I think just about everybody was braced for a Dozier trade. Not an Escobar trade. And they didn't get much more than filler for Escobar.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The front office appears to have pulled a 180-degree reversal. Not too many days ago we were led to believe that there was no timetable, and Sano's own actions and performance would dictate when he was ready to return, because it was too important not to get this right. But this call up coincides with simply needing an infielder.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You are absolutely wrong. If they did fall out I would not jump on them for not selling. and by the way I think the Pressly and Escobar deals are two very different things
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What did their model say last year?
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You mean, like, trading away good players when it appeared they were out of the race?
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Escobar was the heart and soul of this team, on that I agree with Molitor. There would be no clearer sign that the front office was quitting on the team (again) than to trade Escobar. He was their second best player this year. the Twins were 7 games back before tonight; in other words, only 4 games away from being 3 games back. In 2009 they had a 7 game deficit to make up -- in September. They got within 3 games going into the last week.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You know, another way to look at it is to stay within 2 or 3 or 4 games going into the final week or two, and then try to make up the final difference in one furious stretch. This is what happened in 2009. By that measure, the Twins are (or, were) very much in it.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Trying to focus only on this Pressly trade in isolation, it doesn't seem like a bad deal. Hoping Houston isn't dumping their problem children on us. Also, Burdi threw 100, so, yawn.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I get it. I even agree with you.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    #analytics, people!
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    exciting games in August?
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I do not share that assessment of Eduardo Escobar. I also doubt Severino is a good comp to the guys Arizona unloaded on us.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We could also ask them to quit selling top players at trade deadlines! twice in two years
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I can read the standings. I don't need the know-it-alls to tell me they're not a "true contender" or whatever. I know what their record is. I want to cheer my team. The players want to make a run. Falvey just traded one of our best, most popular players. So go ahead, tell me again how great this move is.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    agree.... laugh at me because I'm just a dumb fan, but I was still hoping to make an improbable run at 2018. Jokes on me!!!
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Nah, the win streak is only 4. Let's wait until it goes up to 5 or 6 straight wins before we trade away any of our good pieces.
