  1. That sounds like a good offer from a Twins standpoint, but you always need to ask what it would look like if you were a fan of the other team.
  2. A year ago at the trade deadline, Jose Miranda was OPSing at .800 and it would have sounded foolish to suggest trading him, a young player on the rise. A year later, things look different. With that said, would Bailey Ober be a good trade piece to give up? I don’t know. The Cardinals would be interested, I would think. It would be nice to see Gray, Lopez and Ryan all keep pitching at high levels in order to give up a rotation piece like Ober for a bat like Goldschmidt or Arenado.
  3. There was a time when I thought Gray had a legitimate beef with Rocco pulling him too soon. Well so much for that. Actually the whole rotation looks like it’s coming back to earth.
  4. Yeah, on just one swing of the bat, everything can become magnified
  5. For ancient dating, B.C. as everyone knows, stands for Before Chief
  6. So the report on this guy is he works high in the zone, so the home run swings with runners on base will need to be minimized tonight if possible.
  7. Good take - a Nixon goes to China level of diplomacy that hopefully both sides can be happy with
  8. In the spirit of the internet, I don’t think anyone else really cared 🙂
  9. In the spirit of the internet, I will post this before fact checking it. But iirc when the Seattle Seahawks were a new franchise, they played their first season the NFC Central with the Vikes Bears Lions and meatpackers, before switching into the AFC West their second season.
  10. That is also one of the 2 or 3 ways I will remember Kep (2 are positive and 2 of 3 aint bad)
  11. I expect Cleveland to hold, but yeah their lineup is 50 feet of crap worse than the Twins.
  12. We like to do Twins all time lineups, so here's a Seattle one LF Ichiro CF Griffey SS A Rod DH E. Martinez 3B Kyle Seager 1B Alvin Davis RF Jay Buhner 2B Harold Reynolds C Dan Wilson (he went to Minnesota, ya know)
  13. wow buck dropped below the Mendoza line? nice to see correa pick it up and Kirilloff throw the team on his back for a day
  14. May be so. I wouldn’t say it is completely different to minimize base running and bat swinging, which have their own funky torques and movements too. Either way, it would have been nice to hear something like what you said from the team, the trainer, or Buxton himself back in May. But we didn’t. Imagine the Twins talking about Jorge Polanco or Tyler Mahle or any other player’s injury the same way they talk about Buxton’s injury, to the point where Levine didnt even speak the word injury in response to that interview question. I do like Levine. He’s got an honest communication style that I think other executives dont.
  15. Escobar is a great guy and it’s too bad he missed Arizona’s competitive window by a couple years.
  16. Gray seems like a guy with his ducks in a row. The upcoming 1/20 QO might look really good to him.
  17. Thanks for transcribing. For all we know, the sizable input from team doctors could very well be: Buxton is cleared to play outfield as well as run the bases. Levine’s comment about “ultimately up to Byron” should be very concerning to some people. Aside from the usual aches and pains, is this team actually encouraging guys to play through injuries that are hurting their performance? Look. This Buxton situation could pay off brilliantly if Buxton starts hitting and ramping up in center just in time for the Twins to play in the postseason. This makes the discussion fun. In the meantime, if people are bothered by the discussion, nobody is forcing them to participate. 🙂
  18. lol you are right, it was just as I was typing it Soto
