  1. When I saw the headline, I thought someone resurrected an old thread. This can't be real. He's not hitting well at all.
  2. The same front office that built an entire starting staff from scratch? People just can't see beyond their rage.....
  3. There will almost always be a better team.... that's no reason to give up and not get better. What makes anyone think the Yankees will be worse next year? Should the Twins not try to be better next year? Odds are they will be much worse at shortstop next year, Just punt that too?
  4. And a bad bullpen. That's the real issue here.
  5. I loved all those parts.... Especially Leia.
  6. Why are the twins weakening a playoff team?
  7. I don't recall reading positive stuff about his D at short, so I'm not sure how he's a Lewis replacement.... He looks the part of a guy that can play around the field and hit. The question becomes, who does he replace? Even next year?
  8. Throwing out made up numbers like 43 wins isn't harsh criticism, it's without any rationality at all. And yes, they call him stupid, and only did what the computer says, over and over.
  9. On pace to win 92 games, two of three years winning the division, and people come here every day to say he's stupid.
  10. Wow. It's so hard to imagine just how awesome he'd be if fully healthy.
  11. Pretty sure my son would prefer I use him! Well, the one that has Fi.
  12. I saw that deal, and it is intriguing!
  13. Also they didn't "allow" him to leave. He had every right to leave. I am truly baffled by that whole paragraph.
  14. You think they are paying different than other teams? Wes will make around 750k after salary, camps, booster money, etc. That is on Twitter. By beat writers. People sharing information are only sharing what is known as it is known. Your opinion on what MLB would do is ridiculous. No company treats it's employees that way.
  15. Haven't worn a watch in years.
  16. We aren't owed answers to any of these. What would change if we did? Nothing.
  17. Would be best if they could just forfeit and move on..... No one gets hurt.
  18. It is clearly NOT about the money, given the smallish raise......he has stated he gets a lot more time with his family this way....
  19. That is sad. Yikes.
  20. Might trade in my phone..... Pixel 6 Samsung s22 iPhone 13 (not sure I can make the move, frankly.....emotionally tough )
  21. There is no legal US contract that binds an employee to a company if they want to go to another industry.
  22. The contracts forbid movement within MLB....not to other jobs. They also allow teams to force players to go to another team, even if they don't want to (to keep their jobs). Commitments are one way streets for most fans. Heck, fans boo players that were traded sometimes, let alone players that finally were free to choose their employer and left.....
  23. This. People are cool with teams literally sending players to cities they may not want to live in, no choice, but a coach leaving for a job he wants is bad/wrong/evil/shady/disrespectful/etc?
  24. Recruiting season is now....not in months. The job starts now, not in months. It isn't a straw man at all. This is when the job starts. Not later. And no, given that the team can fire him any time, there is no obligation at all to the team. Why do people think workers are somehow obligated to stay in a job they don't want anymore? Your last line is the straw man. We have no idea. Maybe he likes the teaching in college. Maybe he's now on a track to a head coach job? Maybe he is tired of working with MLB players? That last line has NOTHING to do with when the job is available at all, which seems to be the issue people have.
