    2001 was a ray of hope, not a disappointment. 1992 was a victory lap season. Incredible that leadership of this team, at all levels, in all aspects baseball and non-baseball, could look at the last few years and say to themselves “yes this is good for our brand, give us more of it.”

    I have always seen Levine as more the assistant; the Rob Antony to Terry Ryan. But who knows. Maybe not. Levine might play the "why-would-they-even-want-to-stay-here" card and leave of his own accord. But maybe not. Who knows.

    A thank you to Bailey Ober for taking the ball today. Ober was lined up to pitch on Tuesday. Ober did keep his ERA under 4, which is nice little achievement and will look better on his baseball card. Correa and Buxton. Any fan willing to attend this game in person today deserved to see Correa and Buxton in the lineup. I guess they were feeling a little sore or didn't see a reason to play with nothing at stake. But most of all, congratualtions to DaShawn Keirsey Jr. for the home run - maybe he is our center field backup going into 2025

    Well, right. If Josh Donaldson was hired to manage the Twins or be Baseball Operations VP, and this same collapse happened under Donaldson year after year, we wouldn't blame Donaldson. Donaldson is just being Donaldson.

    Rocco hit the lottery when he was born with elite athletic talent. Then he hit the lottery again when he made the major leagues with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays as a center fielder. (a lot of work went has to go into that one, to Rocco's credit) Then Rocco hit the lottery for a third time as a major league manager. Anybody affiliated with MLB in that capacity like Rocco, Falvey, St. Peter, has already hit the lottery.

    It's a small number of people on each side. A majority of individuals who post on this site just ignore it, to their credit. There are better things to do.

    or possibly July or August

    It's an "anti-anti" culture taken hold around this. They are not really Rocco fans, but are opposed to people who take positions against Rocco. Why this is, I have no idea. I don't get it either.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, no. It's called interviewing.

    The NFL has played on Thursday and Saturday for a long time, since the 80s at least. the Fog Bowl was a Saturday morning game. But your second point was exactly what I was getting at. It feels like too much. Maybe I’m just a crank, and don’t understand The Kids anymore. I don’t know but I doubt it. The NFL going out of its way to schedule a game on Christmas when it’s on a Wednesday, combined with the tight relationship with the gambling industry, it feels out of control and not good. I guess that’s the bigger issue.

    pretty much the whole radio broadcast that I heard, Gladden and Atteberry talked about “hard evaluations will be made a few days after the season ends.” They kept emphasizing that. “Tough decisions, honest evaluations.” Don’t know if they have inside information or who’s fooling who. I guess we will find out soon enough.

    It was 14 years ago when the Vikings played in Philly on that Tuesday night, because of a snowstorm. It was the first NFL game on a Tuesday in the modern era. Now, the NFL has taken over every day of the week, including the important days, and rumor has it the SuperBowl will be pushed back to the end of February pretty soon. It didn't really hit me until I was looking at KC's schedule this morning, that the NFL is basically everywhere now, all the time.

    The correct answer is false, but not because of the Brazil game. Trick question, because they do play a Friday and Wednesday game. Wednesday: Christmas day game at Pittsburgh Thursday: Season opener Friday: Day after Thanksgiving against Raiders Saturday: Week 15 against the Texans Sunday: Sunday games of course Monday: They play a couple Monday night games.

    That 1994 team was real hard to watch, after about August 12th 🙂

    oy.... I don't want to oversell it, but it is nice https://www.instagram.com/netelitebaseball/reel/DAZtQZUI8w6/

    Like when he hit the home run in his first postseason at bat last year? 🙂

    Did not find it on YouTube, hopefully this instagram link works

    Someone created a poignant video with that forlorn musical theme from Moneyball playing over the last putout. It has been on social media. Have you seen that clip?

    The kid is trying to be honest, and gets savaged for it. No less than Carlos Correa savages him for it--"being tired is an excuse that's not valid" The clubhouse must be a fun place to be! #leadership

    Without looking, True or False: The Kansas City Chiefs play a game this season on every day of the week except Tuesday and Wednesday.

    Not sure where you pulled this list from. Blake Snell should be on it. A bunch of those guys will be dropping off it next year. Funny enough, in addition to Pablo next year, Sonny Gray will also make a comet-like appearance near the top of that list in 2025, based on how his contract was structured. Ohtani belongs not on the starting pitcher list but on the ‘Unicorns’ list, with him as the only name on that list. 🙂
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Triple crown is now in Ohtani’s sights. The HR and RBI are givens, and he’s now just 5 points behind Arraez in average with Ozuna also still in there, Aaron Judge may get a Triple Crown, too. Although that’s a little harder for Judge being .007 behind Witt, with a game off for Witt, probably coming up. Witt has been fantastic and that’s such a nice story in KC but if I had a MVP vote it would go to Judge.

    I also feel like there was no ‘suddenly’ here. That these discussions were had prior to 2022 during the Correa courtship. Falvey would get his payroll increases but knew they were going to reset at some point.

    Neither you nor Chief live in the Twin Cities, but the media in this town acted as if the 2023 wild card series was the first time in 65 years that any team in Major League Baseball had advanced that far in the postseason. I expect a similar round of coverage once the 2024 season is laid to rest. As far as the game threads, I dunno, I had fun in it last night, all things considering. You get what you give, I guess. A couple of us had a running bet on whether the Marlins would make four errors again. (The OVER won!) Special shout out to nicksaviking for helping keep it fun. Speaking of the Vikings…
