    I think there's an opportunity here to repair some of the damage ownership has inflicted on the fan base. I suggest they seize it. Get some real help. If it fails, it fails. Sitting out the deadline, or worse, only dealing away assets, will be yet another PR blow. This franchise can't afford that.

    That's what's called a "win-win."

    For the record, I believe it's a reasonable position to take to say "it's tougher to win a WS now than in the past. You have to win more series." Conversely, one could reasonably believe it's easier now. Much eeasier. You need a chip and a chair. Teams used to have to win their respective league to have a shot at the WS. I'd say beating the entire AL over 162 games is tougher than finishing as one of 3 division winners or the 3 best also-rans. The 1987 Twins had to win the ALW, one of 2 divisions rather than 3, and there were no extra chances awarded to 2nd, 3rd or 4th place regular season finishers. The 1987 Blue Jay's won 96 games, losing the ALE to Detroit on the last day of the season. Do you suppose they'd say it's tougher now to win a WS? You have to get in the postseason to have a chance. The postseason might be tougher. Getting there is certainly much easier.

    LFG!!!

    Please point out the post where i said "anything can't happen." Winning a WS is tough. Tougher these days since you have to win multiple series. I doubt anyone here would say otherwise. TD's readership is mostly pretty well informed. That's not the same as "cant happen." In fact it WILL happen, for one team. They'll go through those multiple series and emerge as WS winners. I guarantee it. Some teams will be better equipped to get through the postseason, for sure. But the only teams for which it CAN'T happen are those that don't get to the postseason. BTW, this is now the third time, at least, you've put words to my name that I didn't say. Please stop.

    Because anything could happen? Just spitballin' here

    We're all aware of this, including the poster you quoted. He said as much.
  9. USAFChief
    Concur. Appreciate both this update and your too infrequent but always informative and well written contributions, Mr Seehafer.

    "It never rains in California." They wrote a song about it and everything.
  11. USAFChief
    Well yes, the AL representative to the WS might have to play the Dodgers. As I understand it, the AL representative plays a National League team every year in the WS.

    "Calling it a trap was tongue in cheek. But I'm gonna repeat it."

    Outman had a year at the MLB level approximately 7 miles above anything Volpe has done. His MLB career OPS + is still higher than Volpe's.
  14. USAFChief
    False. This sets the bar for what is a laughable proposal from a Yankee stooge.
  15. USAFChief
    He can fix Volpe but somehow not Outman?
  16. USAFChief
    This would be a disaster and reason enough to fire Jeremy Zoll immediately. Volpe helps nothing and blocks 2 of our best prospects. Doval?? Seriously???
  17. USAFChief
    The 88 win 2021 Atlanta Braves won a WS. The 88 win 2014 San Francisco Giants won a WS. The 83 win 2006 St Louis Cardinals won a WS. A Twins postseason team would be underdogs. But a WS wouldn't be impossible.
  18. USAFChief
    One more time: Jeremy Zoll was made Twins GM in November 2024.
  19. USAFChief
    Good point. They'll no doubt change to rescheduling the off day to a future off day DURING the season.
  20. USAFChief
    I hope I never reach the point as a fan where I'm asking for a six game losing streak.
  21. USAFChief
    I tried mightily for a good 15 minutes to come up with a retort worthy of that particular piece of brilliance, and found myself unworthy.. Kudos, good sir. With the aid of a night's sleep: "They reschedule the off day to an open date after the season."
  22. USAFChief
    In all seriousness, thay was a very entertaining ball game.
  23. USAFChief
    JiC you were really asking...yes. i knew that.
