    Two items. 1. An eight-run inning with three hits and a four walks. No that's a minor league rally! 2. The Twins need to sign the Louisville right fielder. He looks like he would fit in with the rest of the Twins' right fielders.

    Or it could be that with the Social Media of today, players never have a second to themselves. I have no idea what the sixties and seventies players were doing in their off-time. Easier to look up to someone who has more than half his life a secret.

    I did not see the game, but wa there any view of the third base coach while this was going on? If he's signaling to tag up, it isn't Martin's fault. If he's telling Martin to stay put, then it's Martin's fault.

    I read the headline and thought it was an article from the "Just for Laughs" folder.

    With the roster expansion today, I truly believe the Twins front office is making very strong effort to move past the Pirates and improve their odds for a #1 pick.

    I would rather see Tait called up so he could see what life is like in the big leagues. Maybe a little more incentive for the young man.

    Lots of analysis, trepidation, and, of course, the mandatory Trade Rocco or Trade Falvey comments. But any trades that might be made are totally dependent on what the return is. If the return exceeds the perceived value (by the Twins, not BTV or MTV or whatever your favorite tool might be). Everyone should be available for the right price.

    They aren't eligible for the lottery this year (nor are the Washington Commanders).

    I would suggest Javier Bardem and Ryan Gossling be cast as Lopez and Ryan in your movie.

    I think that Lewis makes a very valid point that a mid-season tinkering with his swing might cause a downturn in his performance for a period of time. And that downturn could easily be used against him in an arbitration. The whole process of bad-mouthing a player in order to force him to accept a lower offer seems counterproductive to me. Actually the entire salary system seems out of whack. In order to afford free agents that might help your team, the owners have two choices: 1. Pay your younger players minimum wage where a player like Paul Skenes has the same salary as SWR, or 2) be willing to shell out whatever it takes to get a prize free agents. I have no answer to this conundrum. But it needs to be addressed in the CBA.

    Tristan Casas with zero value? This is why I think BTV is stupid. The main point of this trade is to acquire Casas who has no value?

    You mean like the national news media? The new motto of journalism schools across the nation must be "Never ask a follow-up question and never verify the facts that are presented".

    Hitting isn't a "one size fits all" technique.

    The amount of pop-up ads is astronomical and annoying as hell. I feel like I'm being punished for not being able to afford caretaker status.
  20. terrydactyls
    how about a swap of catchers Adley Rauschman for Mickey Gasper. The Twins could throw in Julien and Wallner as additional incentive.

    Will the Mussels be able to play again in2025? It seems like they have been rained out every day for the last two weeks.
  24. terrydactyls
    Question for the viewers. Should I drop the Rockies and the Nationals from this list since they are ineligible for the lottery? Thoughts?
  25. terrydactyls
    I think this response should be in the article about Baldelli opening up the baserunning. This article is about pitching.
