    The risk in signing $2m starters and depending on them is seen in the 2021 Twins results.

    Sorry, Spy, none of this makes much sense. If they "need" a long guy, which nobody carries any more, give Jax the starts and make Shoemaker the long guy. But worrying about that is pointless anyway. If Maeda makes his rehab start, he's not taking Shoemaker's next start. It's not a matter of 3.5 or 3.75 months...it's a matter of not wasting starts on a one year FA who isn't any good, in a lost season. There is no reason to have Shoemaker on this team. None.

    KC is a trip every Minnesota based Twins fan should make. Easy drive, good food, and great ballpark.

    I can't see any justification for continuing to throw Shoemaker out there. I don't understand how he's gotten his last few starts, much less how he is still on the team after the most recent debacle. Jax or Barnes could take his starts, just off the top of my head. Barnes could take Shoemaker's roster spots. It's either front office incompetent or hubris at this point, IMO.

    "Right now, there's no change in our rotation," Baldelli said. "Which is a damn shame, because it's still awful."

    Concur. Shoemaker's Twins career is already 11 starts too long.

    Don't be so hard on yourself. I mean, yeah, you're no Einstein, but I wouldn't say you're a tool.

    We WON a game!!1! Also, Dan Gladden is awesome.. Today's broadcasting excellence: "Sano hits this one deep to left...this could be a no doubter..." Could be a no doubter? Is that like...jumbo shrimp?

    If Shoemaker isn't DFA'd today, Falvine should be.
  10. USAFChief
    Celestino certainly fits right in.
  11. USAFChief
    OK Mrs Colome.

    Anyone else catch the disgust with which Provus described Simmons making an out on the bases, while trailing by multiple runs late? Even the perpetually positive Cory Provus couldn't hide his feelings about the awful play of this team. Speaking of that play...simply terrible baseball. Incredibly terrible. It's one thing to lack talent. But Rocco's team lacks the simple ability to play the game. They lack precision, fundamentals, smarts. They did that even when 300 HRs glossed it over, and it's gotten progressively worse.

    The crappy ass Twins Somehow produced only three Which were just enough.
  14. USAFChief
    Simmons is on a 1 year deal. Might as well deal him too, if there's a market.
  15. USAFChief
    Five runs in 4 and a third is a "solid outing" for Shoemaker? Perhaps that's one of our problems.

    You know what they say...**** Happens.
  17. USAFChief
    Happily, as it Happens.

    It's not exactly controversial to prefer hits over walks. Ideally, you get a hitter who does both. But walks without hits never lasts, won't happen against good pitching, not to mention a walk is worth less than even a single. I want to know a hitter's BA, in addition to his OBP and SLG.

    Also...someone DESIGNED those hats?? Yeesh.

    Refsnyder got to the majors in 2015, at age 24.
  22. USAFChief
    Their failure to build this year's bullpen means they have "plenty of time" to build the next one? And they start on that by trading one of the few talented pen arms they have? I can understand trading Rogers, but doing so will be about hope for 2023 and beyond, not 2022.
  23. USAFChief
    The Twins should absolutely market Berrios. No brainer. He's not going to sign here, and he's not really all that good anyway. More name and hope than production. As for Buxton, make him the best offer you can. If he accepts, hope he stays healthy. If he declines, market him as well. Sell everybody on a one year deal, listen to offers for Kepler.

    Every person on the field, in both dugouts, and both bullpens--including Mercedes--knew what the issue was. Complain about unwritten rules if you will, but dont pretend he didn't know them.
  25. USAFChief
    I could not disagree more. I love the fact there are norms and expected behavior in major league baseball. And BTW, the "unwritten rules" prevent way more conflict than they cause. Every person on both teams knew exactly what was wrong with that 3-0 swing. I only wish Duffey had buried a FB in the guy's ribs.
