    "All that prospect capital?"

    What the actual **** Ryan?

    I hate Dobnak with the white hot fury of a thousand supernovas. Come ON!
  6. USAFChief
    Indeed. And he definitely hasn't. Unless they're not calling up for reasons other than performance. I don't know that. But it possible. In any case, the offense needs a jolt. A two week hot streak from a phenom isn't unprecedented, and if it doesn't happen, I doubt he'd be worse.than Roden.

    Positive signs are positive signs. There's a lot to be done yet from ownership to rebuild any trust. But, coming from a place as down on ownership as I've ever been, I'm encouraged. There's been less than a year of the current managing owner. I like what he's said. I approve of what he could and did accomplish so far. I'm going to give it some time, and in the meantime, appreciate both the unexpected mediocrity and the deadline spend.

    Cmon, let's go Can't handle getting ***** slapped again by that no talent hack Dobnak. LFG!!

    Maybe by "all over" he meant the Twins were over Neto the way that HS crush of mine let me know she was all over me when she told me it wasnt me, it was her.

    This isnt the place for this discussion, but one point: The NFL and NBA seem to be thriving with what you call "socialism." The Geeen Bay Packers are able to compete financially with the LA Rams. The public seems to appreciate some semblance of a level playing field. MLB either follows suit or dies. Simple.
  12. USAFChief
    Your facts are correct.
  13. USAFChief
    Perhaps true. In fact I'd agree his production doesn't scream promote. But given what the Twins are getting from RF (and maybe Bell) I'd like to see Jenkins up and playing every day. Maybe he's a spark they need. Maybe not. At the least he's a good defender and I doubt will be overwhelmed. What's there to lose? There's an unexpected glimmer of opportunity knocking here. Open the GD door.

    Well written @Nick Nelson. And pretty accurate. Also appreciate posting in this forum, vice "Front Page." This is where us rubes hang and post.
  15. USAFChief
    Virtually every word in this post is incorrect.
  16. USAFChief
    Why bring politics into this???
  17. USAFChief
    Well ****. Now I have to go back and re-examine everything I've said the last couple days. Thanks. Thanks a lot. :)
  18. USAFChief
    right. Not confusing at all.
  19. USAFChief
    I certainly agree we're currently short of elite talent.
  20. USAFChief
    Weird. I read dman's post you responded to THREE times and I didnt get any of the above from it. Maybe it's me.

    "A player maintains MLB rookie eligibility for the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award unless, in a previous season, they exceed 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched, or 45 days on an active major league roster (excluding time on the injured list). " If my math is correct they can recall Jenkins Aug 15 and retain ROY eligibility, assuming he stay through the end of the season. Can't confirm for some reason, but I'm pretty sure any postseason time doesn't count against him. Personally I'd hope none of this matters in the least in any decision to add or not add Jenkins.
  22. USAFChief
    OK Im in. Keaschall needs to be in the lineup. **** should have dumped Larnach. Wait...Jenkins isnt up yet. Never mind.
  23. USAFChief
    Confused? I can understand not agreeing with the moves they've made. But what's confusing? They've stated clearly they believe they're in contention for the postseason and made moves to strengthen a clearly weak bullpen. They didn't remove anyone from the 26 man. Seems pretty straightforward.
  24. USAFChief
    Very fair. Possibly even true. My issue wirh rebuilds is, there's zero guarantee they work. They sentence you to at least 2 years of suckitude, without any promise of a payoff. In fact, Without doing any research whatsoever, I'd guess given a 3 year time frame, a teardown fails more often than succeeds. But I certainly understand your logic and preference. Mine are just different. I don't think it very likely you can plan a baseball team three years out. Play for today, every day, until today is impossible. Then deal only those players that won't be here next year. Or you're convinced cant help in the future because...well because they're not any good. Your mileage may vary
  25. USAFChief
    Just so little power. But he's been hitting, for sure. Can't see him at 2nd though. Bah-roo-tl.
