    Wow. Talk about the class of the league. More skilled, faster... We'll be lucky to not get swept.

    The "X" (GCA) has a previously scheduled event for Friday...

    As of yesterday... Brodin out for Game 1 (and not traveling with team to CO, so probably G2 as well), after blocking a shot (lower body injury); Erickson Ek may or may not be out/travel after hitting the sideboard in Game 6.

    With things playing out more or less as ordained, I'm getting into the mid-summer doop-de-doos a little early I guess. "Sheltie" just doesn't get it done for me; such low hanging fruit. I realize he really hasn't had enough time to 'earn' a proper moniker through his actions/pressers yet, but I was kinda getting stoked with the early wins and was toying around with "Helter Sheltor" or maybe "Shelator" but now I'm scraping around in the dirt again; kinda feeling like Charlie Brown after a de-clothing line drive, with no choice but to get up and do it again. So, maybe, for now, just "Chuck"

    Some shots of Target Field from March 22, 2010 when hope and excitement were maxed out and the possibilities were "just around the corner"...

    Your Stockholm Syndrome is showing. The Twins need to decide if they are "trying to win baseball games" or be "in the entertainment business". Sure, Pablo's a great guy, gives a good interview, is a "plus" in the community, loved in the clubhouse....... None of those things put "W"s in the win column. If he is favorable to a 1 year "make good" type contract with a team option, sure. But multi-year extensions with the league turmoil coming up? C'mon.

    Here's some food for thought: Number of SPs who made 15+ starts for their team and finished with ERA's over 5.00 last year: Rockies and Marlins: 4 each White Sox, Angels, A's, and Nats: 3 each Reds, Royals, Pirates, Cards, Rangers, Jays: 2 each I didn't look into injuries, etc., as I figured if they threw them out there 15+ times with those ERAs, they didn't have other options to go with. So, we're starting out with one foot in the tub while holding a toaster with an iffy cord.

    "he was facing an uphill battle to break into a deep major-league rotation out of camp" Outside of Ryan (and Lopez), only SWR had an ERA under 5 last year. While we've got a really deep MINOR-league rotation, we've only got 2 "knowns" for the Majors.

    Stafford has back problems and is older than Russell; not breaking the bank for a one year fling.

    Okay, so I guess they waited a while to piece together this whole new round of $$$ bumps and bonuses.... https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minnesota-revises-flecks-contract-new-annual-bonus/

    Not that it doesn't have anything to do with it, but I wonder if T Pohlad's phone calls with STH all had the same 'vibe', and knee jerk or not, this is the result.

    This whole fanbase has a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome.

    You should always "be listening". The problem is I don't think the Twins are capable of trading for the right players/prospects that will improve the team.

    Also teach JJMc that every throw doesn't have to be a fastball. I remember it took several years for John Elway to realize that.
