  1. If you want those pitchers to contribute early in Minnesota next year, they should be in Minnesota part of this year.
  2. To what end?
  3. True. I suggest you retire soon, and just do your volunteer work. Though make sure you have enough friends first....
  4. nope. You have to work forever!
  5. thanks, and now I can't un-see my typo......but thanks!
  6. Pretty sure that's the most action the guitar has seen in months....so, ya, so much for growing as a musician during the pandemic....
  7. and, because I saw this elsewhere on Fangraphs (maybe I should resurrect my "elsewhere on the web" thread").... rossredcay Any thoughts on Jhoan Duran? He would seem to fit into this bucket as well and his stuff looks insane so far in his couple starts post injury. Kevin Goldstein Stuff looks really good, and he was definitely a candidate for the piece, as were about 20 others.
  8. Here is what Fangraphs had to say about Barnes start: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/daily-prospect-notes-6-3-21/
  9. made me smile though! thank you. After the disaster of a falling and exploding full bottle of balsamic, scattering glass and sticky stuff across three rooms (and onto my acoustic guitar), I needed a smile....
  10. If none of them are going to be good next year....why do we care if Pineda is here? They showed this year they wouldn't sign legit starting pitchers in a year they were supposed to contend.....what are you expecting next year from the starters?
  11. I'd pay good money if the interwebs would be rid of "of".....
  12. If you don't think there is any luck in sports (or life), we don't agree on that. The world is filled with almosts and nearlies.
  13. Bad luck. Several players playing partially hurt. Players declining. Players reverting to a lower level of play for an unknown reason. Some of the players aren't good compared to other MLB players. Some bad decisions. But lazy? I don't believe that for one second. You can. Feel free. Try to remember these are people.... heck, maybe they do get discouraged and down, and that effects their performance.....but not lazy. Or whiny.
  14. This fascination with someone to blame is an interesting phenomena ..... there may or may not be someone to blame, but this idea that firing a person or two will fix things is really interesting. They won the division two years in a row....maybe that tells us something too....maybe this year is just a bad year, where everything goes wrong and unlucky and there is no fault or reason other than stuff happens. Most things in life don't have A cause, or meaning. They just are. Our human need for their to be a reason for things happening is really interesting to me.
  15. We aren't left with whiny or lazy as our only choices at all....not even close.
  16. They don't really have other options on the roster.....
  17. Do you have any evidence for any of your claims about their work habits or desires? Any at all? These guys worked their whole lives to get where they are, so I have plenty on a side that says you have the burden of proof.....let's see it.
  18. yes, I totally said call him before they think he is ready.....
  19. He could be up next year as a CF. Almost no chance as a SS. But I guess we can wait two more years to see him.
  20. That's an unexpected lineup, at least from the beginning of the year. Wow.
