    Yeah I expect if they don’t win, this is Dobbs last start regardless of reason
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Still am, or someone if not Dobbs i mean, maybe they can activate cousins and have him block a guy

    These mid-career cases of plantar fasciitis rarely work themselves out for the better, based on my searching. Players don’t return to early career form, unfortunately.

    That’s interesting. Just on scouting, I would rate Kepler and Verdugo about equal, or Verdugo just a shade higher since Kep has a tendency to lose his head for long stretches. I don't think the Yankees gave up much, either. Sort of a fantasy football type trade where they packaged three guys they didn’t need, for one serviceable guy. Although the AA guy might show something. I would guess the Twins were offered this, and declined.

    I think the Twins went "all in" in 2022, and then ran it again in 2023. So I wonder if it's because ownership asked for a statement to be made in response to the past two seasons (that is, "we didn't get it done"). Obviously I have no inside information but that's my guess. I had a ton of fun watching the postseason and there's no way you can call 2023 a complete failure. But if they are going to bankroll record high payrolls they need to show something more for it, and remember they were pretty hard to watch for a couple months before the all star break on that peak payroll. The broadcasting issue is another wild card. But I think it comes down to they are just spending too much money on players and trading away too much of value, when the expectation was that they would be developing internally and inexpensively.

    Zimmer was notorious for a very bad loss every couple years, but O’Connell’s loss tonight tops any of those I mean I’m still an fan of this regime but… yeah.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Best forward pass all night! lol
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Cal Stanford time

    I don’t know. Football is not my sport but except for a few individual plays here and there, I thought the defense was just horrible.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Chicago receiver gained 10 yards by accident just trying to fall down
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    NM!
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Feels like the Bears are going to drive down, kick a FG with about a minute to play
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    And there’s an 8 yard run on 1st and 10
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah good point. Addison might have gone toward the middle.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Bears offense has carved up the defense. The opening drive lasted 10 minutes which I think has played a part in the whole team being so disjointed tonight
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hard to ask a guy to do the sideline twinkle toes when he’s that wide open.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I am looking forward to hearing from O’Connell or Leber or someone who knows something, about what the hell happened tonight. Were they opening up the playbook this week, experimenting, a little food poisoning in Eagan? No idea. Dobbs has been horrible tonight but so has the rest of the team.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Jesus, we get it.

    Hisle and Ford both have long, detailed, and most importantly, good, SABR biographies. It would be a mammoth effort for someone to reproduce that from scratch. Hisle's SABR page talks about what a great human being he is, but neither his Baseball Reference Bullpen page nor his Wikipedia page discuss it. Then, none of Disco Dan's SABR, Wikipedia, or Bullpen pages has the story about when he forgot to step on home plate. 🙂 So you would have to remember, or read about it on Reusse's blog from 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20150921091112/http://www.1500espn.com/blogs/Disco_Dans_detour_still_beats_Mauers_bunt Also, it took me like 45 minutes to research, compose, and re-read just this single post. So, yeah. That said, I will throw my name in the hat but at this point cannot promise a set schedule or number of hours. Also, there is a lot of very interesting stuff that gets mentioned on the radio but gets lost in the ether, because I don't think that stuff is recorded for posterity. I mean, mind blowing stuff sometimes. I'm not talking about just the occasional swear word. Radio being a very different medium than print, I am conflicted on whether some of that stuff should be written out.

    Far be it from me to know what the hell is going on here, but trading Vazquez would be an overreaction. Jeffers is coming off a career year and is likely to regress, and Vazquez is also coming off a career year in the other direction. Most likely, they will both gravitate toward more average numbers in 2024. I think shopping Vazquez has more to do with Vazquez riding the bench the entire postseason and him telling his agent he wanted out.

    Cousins is vastly better than Dobbs. I’m not stupid. That said (you know where this is going), it’s time for a change. I have been ready for change for a while now. The bummer is that Kirk was really finding a new, almost elite level under KOC. But it looks like Dobbs is capable of outperforming his past performance, too. Maybe KOC is just a QB whisperer. Dobbs doesn’t have that riverboat gambler mentality that Favre and Keenum did, but Dobbs does have vision and especially mobility. I have been starving for that for years. A mobile, running quarterback? In the 2020s? What a concept! Someone go tell Zimmer, Spielman and Norv Turner. What makes this all moot is that some other team is going to pay Kirk anyway. I think that’s kind of the media consensus in this town from what I’ve been picking up. The Vikings can use that Kirk money on other guys and will be fine rolling with Dobbs plus a second QB to go with him. That’s kind of where this is headed. Meanwhile, I am having a blast watching Vikings games again.

    bilaterally weak, one might say
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    aren't we always.. The decisions we make today may have impacts 2, 4, 6 years down the road. Sometimes big impacts. I guess that's the type of thing I am looking for. It's fun for me as a fan to follow a prospect or storyline over the course of many seasons, trying to see down the road and see what happens along the way, instead of just focusing on the right now.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Unfortunately, the time to trade Gordon was many offseasons ago, when he was still a prospect. Probably prior to the 2018 season when he was coming off a solid season at AA. Good kid, though.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Kepler in RF I assume?
