  1. I should admit I was wrong because our big free agent acquisition is occupying first base and hitting .207/.279/.393? Second among Twins in PAs, BTW.
  2. Yeah, game threads are no place to talk about lineups.
  3. LOL. "What can (we) say?" Just tip our hat and call the Yankees (our) daddy."
  4. I went to a local 70's R&B Music Fest this past weekend. It was fun, until this cover band came on and played "Shining Star," "Boogie Wonderland," and "Mighty Mighty." The place had to be evacuated. They set off the Earth, Wind & Fire alarm.
  5. The Twins--fairly or unfairly--have a pretty strong reputation as "cheap." You don't think announcing a massive payroll cut days after the season ends is going to undercut every ounce of goodwill they earned last postseason? Ownership absolutely earned the tepid interest they're getting. Add in the fumbled TV contract, blaming fans, etc etc. Forget the Falvine mistakes. The real damage was done by Ownership.
  6. LOL. Texas 2023. Houston, 2022. Atlanta, 2021. Your argument is nonsensical on its face. And in actual practice.
  7. Is that MLB's goal? If so, they don't seem very interested in achieving it. MLB (or at least multiple teams) spent all of the last year trying desperately to get Diamond Sports through bankruptcy and back INTO broadcasting games rather than using the bankruptcy as a path away.
  8. Interesting arguments, but neither of which are load management related.
  9. Not sure what Santana or Miranda have to do with Martin's playing time. That said, what has Martin done to deserve more playing time?
  10. Is this a serious post? Can't be. The O's "fizzle out" in the postseason? They've made the postseason once since 2016. 4 times since 1998. But ok, let's play this silly "postseason is too long" game. Texas won the WS last year. Marcus Semien played 162 games in the regular season. Nate Lowe 161. Corey Seager 119 after missing 5 weeks to the IL in April/May. Adolis Garcia 148 with a 13 day IL stay. Catcher Josh Heim 131. Their WS opponent? Christian Walker, 157 games. Corbin Carroll 155. Gurriel 145 with 2 injury stints. It's almost like a team's best players should play. Virtually every day. Many do. There's absolutely zero reason to think 3 days off in June will somehow make a player better in October.
  11. If you look up "Schlub" in Funk and Wagnals there's a picture of Stroman.
  12. Eddie just doesn't have soft hands. Never will. He's been better at 2nd. But he just wasn't born with soft hands. WAY down the list of immediate or long term issues, though.
  13. Castro. Again. Feet stuck in cement as an easily catchable ball sails over his head.
  14. And as noted, can't blame it on the lineup tonight. Can't chalk it up to a good opposing pitcher.
  15. It's Marcus Stroman FFS. He is the definition of mediocre at best. Do something.
  16. Men against boys. And jeez, Lopez. Could you possibly pitch any worse?
  17. Holy **** Castro. That's at least 3 misplays in 11 innings.
  18. Ambush that 1st pitch fastball. middle middle not a good idea.
