    I believe the word is "waning"

    The quality of the content on twinsdaily has gone considerably downhill over the years, and it's often tedious to navigate the site on my phone with ads and videos everywhere (or at least it was - not really sure anymore TBH). It's a bad combination. I don't think I'm on the site more than once a week at this point. I feel like the owners have become more concerned with overhead type stuff and profit instead of being visible and providing high quality, passionate ramblings that I used to look forward to reading daily.

    Matt Olson went 0-4. Austin Riley hit the first inning homer after the triple.

    Then I'm going to add Astudillo to the core six??? of the 87 and 91 teams because he tried a lot and could have been a sparkplug for those teams.

    A lot of Twins fans wear rose colored glasses when it comes to Dan Gladden. He had an OPS+ of 76 in 1987 and 80 in 1991. Yeah, he was on both teams, and they mostly won in spite of him. Is that what we're calling a core player?

    Poor Marty. Likely best remembered for the tanning bed incident.

    His last name's not Cave. I'm happy! Congrats, kid!

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say small sample size.

    I thought the article would stop after the Carew defense and say something along the lines of, "Well, there's really not much point in continuing this exercise, is there?"

    My son had a hamster named Buddy. To the best of my knowledge, he never lost a game for the Twins either.

    While La Tortuga is a great human interest story and a seemingly great guy, he is a defensively challenged out making machine. MLB pitchers will continue to feast on his free swinging/high contact "approach". I'm ready to see Astudillo making outs in another organization at this point.

    Potentially his last appearance with the Twins was getting tossed vs the Astros. Oof.

    I'm still waiting for a proper Chrono Trigger sequel or at least a high budget remake.

    Their fans in the mlbtraderumors comments are also interesting. Their defense/excuse/justification is always to bring up other cheating scenarios, whether it's steroids, Pete Rose, or accusing all of the other teams of similar infractions. Definitely not accusing all Astros fans of having that mindset - just the mlbtraderumors ones.

    Good to know Fallen Order gets better. I got to the Jedi Temple thing on the second world, and it's been pretty lackluster so far. Any Wreckfest players out there?

    Can we add ping pong balls?

    I had gotten more and more tired of listening to both Bremer and Blyleven drone on game after game through the years to the point that it made the broadcasts less enjoyable. The discussion all just seemed predictable, shallow, and repetitive. Bremer would get excited about home runs. Blyleven would make non sequitur comments and circle people. There would be cringeworthy attempts at jokes, and that's about it. For me, replacing Blyleven with Morneau was the missing piece. Morneau is well spoken, humble, and provides useful insight into various scenarios throughout the game. I want to hear what he has to say as I watch the game. He and Bremer have great chemistry together, especially as Morneau has become increasingly more comfortable in the booth. Sorry, Bert, you are the weakest link.

    Not everyone can be a polished high floor guy like Levi Michael

    I'd gladly trade them Chase De Jong. I wouldn't even ask for much in return.

    All this while having the 4th fewest strikeouts in baseball. This has been a special season.

    I have one of those coworkers we probably all have. Game 1 out of 162 was a must win, or the season was over. I tried to no avail to talk him off the ridiculous ledge. Luckily, the Twins passed the test. Game 3 against Cleveland was a must win because the difference betwen an 8 1/2 and a 10 1/2 game lead is huge (more than 2 games?). Test passed. ​If you would like, I can check with him when we need to panic more than usual. This opening game against the freefalling Mariners after an off day does seem like a good time to panic. If they don't come out of the off day ready to put the hurt on, it could be an obvious sign the team is getting lackadaisical and will be in second place by the end of June.

    Is it ok to stop panicking about the series opening loss to the Rays?
  23. mini_tb
    It would be a bold move if they moved on from Adrianza and kept Arraez.
  24. mini_tb
    9 total bases out of Sano and Buxton. How many times do you suppose we saw that in 2018?
  25. mini_tb
    Yes, IL - until injured people get offended by the name because people like Adelberto Mejia aren't actually injured. ​Congratulations to Arraez! It'll be fun to see him get some chances!
