  1. In terms of Dollars per WAR, or bang for your buck? Sure I would make that argument. However, I don’t think either Kepler or Larnach is part of the future core of this team—Wallner maybe, but definitely not Kepler. (Disclaimer: no ill will towards Max)
  2. Well, the Twins already committed malpractice in 2023 by starting Larnach in left, so they could go with Larnach again in 2024 and commit even more malpractice. 🙂
  3. That’s fair. We can disagree about Larnach. I can live with him being a placeholder if nothing else. As far as Kepler/Wallner and right field, I don’t see a reason not to make the move, other than someone is guessing that Kepler will perform in 2024 like he did the second half last year. But I don’t think anyone has any idea whether he will or not, including the front office.
  4. That’s fair. Heading into 2020 I might have called Rosario and Kepler both really good outfielders and about the same, but the past few years may have biased me towards Rosario. Not sure. I have no idea how Kepler will perform this year. the thing about Rosario though is he had that uncapturable quality about him, the twinkle in the eye, the which is why so many people liked him and wanted to keep him around. The anticipation he might do something special despite all his mistakes.
  5. At this point we start falling into the “was he healthy” trap, depending who our favorite players are and what arguments we are making. Was Rosario underperforming because he was battling injuries, or not? Was Correa underperforming because he was battling injuries, or not? What about Kepler? What about Larnach? With Larnach, it was actually an illness that knocked him out the first time last season. Is it really fair to your analysis to just say he’s no good, without taking into account as much information as possible?
  6. Moving on from Kepler and letting Wallner start in right field, where Wallner played in the minors and where you can maximize his throwing arm, is the sort of routine move that a competitive team might make without losing too much sleep over. As someone mentioned, they non-tendered Rosario, who was a better player than Kepler. Larnach doubtful will ever make an all star team, but Larnach would be my left fielder to start. I think he gets a bad rap here.
  7. Mullens's first pass attempt slapped off the palm of a Raider's defender before being completed to Hockensen. Mullens has bounced around the league himself and I do not get the vibe that he is going to be the guy who saves the season, but it will be fun to watch. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Jaren Hall before the season is over. It's cool Mullens was on San Francisco's super bowl team a few years ago, though.
  8. That is the downside. Horrible game as far as your personnel.
  9. The last 3-0 game I remember was this one
  10. Yeah I think the Vikings are going to have to get to the promised land switching and managing between 3 backups this season.
  11. Raiders came out business-like on that lateral play. Didn’t get to the end zone though.
  12. Wish that had been a punt return TD
  13. Nm I didn’t realize time was so low
  14. Honestly, that’s a spot you like to have a guy like Cousins try to throw for a first down.
  15. Floodgates open LOL
  16. Part of me wants to see this game go scoreless into overtime
  17. The drama thickens
  18. Delay of game after a TO Harkening back to Childress
  19. Why are we down to one time out suddenly? NM Oakland took one
  20. Still another guy down. This is gong to be 10-on-10 if it goes to overtime
  21. These are not the prettiest completions, but it’s a results league
  22. If you ask me, Hard pass on the 60 yd FG attempt there. Would rather have tried for the first down
