    IMO, counting on Lewis is particularly optimistic. This marks the 3rd soft tissue injury in basically half a season. I don't think it's reasonable to expect something like torn cartilage or broken bones. Repeated "pulls," however, are a different animal.

    Going to second CRF. The schedule has zero to do with anything. As for the other 4, the front office left this team unquestionably weaker than last year to start the season. I place the most blame on them. The starting pitching "plan" always looked thin and filled more with unreasonable hope than calculated upside. Certainly ownership cutting the legs out from under the payroll is a big factor. Injuries have hurt, but every team has injuries, and I read all winter how Falvine had built depth everywhere. Maybe not so much. Players have to play, that's true. There's been some unforeseeably horrid offense. But there's also the residue of "all or nothing" design and their choices of coaches. And the front office targeted and chose these players. What did they expect from Margot? Santana? But at the end of the day, I think it comes back to the front office.

    Irrational beliefs in the face of all evidence: 1. The earth is flat 2. Santana was signed to be the 1st baseman against lefties.

    You're not seriously going to lecture other posters on repetitive posts, are you, Mr Never-Ever-Miss-An-Opportunity-To-Tell-Us-Why-The-Poor-Pohlads-Can't-Possibly-Spend-ANY-Money? Really??

    Concur. More than a little nervous about Lopez.
  6. USAFChief
    Concur you deserve to get trashed for that.
  7. USAFChief
    Lopez out after 4. Ruh-roh.
  8. USAFChief
    Indeed. 8 thru 4. Facing 31 yr old Korean League vet Mike Fedde. Ridiculous.
  9. USAFChief
    Dunno. Hard to compare a 1st baseman with a pitcher, much less an ump.

    I looked up "laboring" in my 1893 first edition Funk and Wagnals and this is what I found:

    Kepler to the Twins: "I think I can probably be back in time for the White Sox series."
  13. USAFChief
    Two out RBI, AGAIN??? I'm shocked, flabbergasted, and amazed...I'm Shobberazed!

    Falvine and Rocco.

    I have posted in game threads, more than once, that I would wager Santana leads the 2024 Twins in PAs. I was semi-joking....but only semi-. The braintrust wanted him at 1st, pretty much full time. And of all the Twins, it's ironic but makes sense to me...he's the least likely to miss time with injury.
  17. USAFChief
    Solano wasn't what this team needed either.
  18. USAFChief
    I gotta believe both of them knew the payroll situation long before any of the Boston stuff came up. They were making public announcements by early November.

    Levine interviewed in October for the Red Sox PBO position. He was informed shortly after he was no longer under consideration. Falvey declined an interview for the same job. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/10/twins-thad-levine-no-longer-a-candidate-for-red-sox-front-office-job.html

    Summary: Mike Sixel, feel free to rip away. The rest of you...careful

    Pro tip: before posting in this thread, check the following article to make sure you weren't "for it before you were against it."
  22. USAFChief
    And then called it good. Added zero other starters. Falvine set out to add starting pitching. They added only Desclafani. It's not that complicated.
  23. USAFChief
    Except it appears Margot isn't a candidate to play CF.
  24. USAFChief
    Bark not in the Park.
  25. USAFChief
    A 2 RBI double? With 2 out no less?? Be still my beating heart!!
