    That's a crack about my weight, huh?
  2. USAFChief
    As do you and I.

    73% of the numbers claimed in internet posts are made up out of thin air.

    "One of the most disappointing seasons in MLB history"??
  5. USAFChief
    There is no guarantee ANY player will be healthy. Other than Buxton's migraines, there's no reason to believe he's more likely to be injured than any other player. Donaldson is a poor comparison. Donaldson has a history of a chronic problem. Buxton doesn't There is no such thing as "injury prone."

    Someone learned a new word.

    There is nothing the front office can do this offseason more important than getting Buxton under contract. Whatever it takes. Pay the man. It's criminal it has gone this long.

    Priority 1 for the front office this offseason HAS to be getting Buxton under contract. Doesn't matter the cost. Get it done. There is NOTHING they can do this offseason more important to future wins. Failure to do so is a fireable offense.

    /thread.

    And the exception proves the rule.

    Picking nits, but Albers wasn't called for a balk in the first.
  12. USAFChief
    I don't think the Twins can build a contending staff for 2022. That's the point. I disagree with the premise of the article.
  13. USAFChief
    . 500 is not competitive. And .500 is a pretty tall order for the pitching staff advocated here.
  14. USAFChief
    As to Nick's article, I can't see this rotation resulting in a competitive 2022 Twins team. There is no "there" there.
  15. USAFChief
    I bet I can go back to the 1st year of TD and find this exact post every year, with just the actual names changed.
  16. USAFChief
    No player worthy of playing time has ever been blocked for long in the history of MLB. It's never happened.
  17. USAFChief
    Isn't Maeda signed through 2023? Could get another year at $3m yet too.
  18. USAFChief
    So the Twins are going to sign Carlos Correa, Michael Brantley, Robbie Ray, Danny Duffy, and be aggressive in FA in addressing the bullpen?
  19. USAFChief
    Just imagine the crater we'd be mired in if Falvine weren't such renowned pitching staff builders.
  20. USAFChief
    No.
  21. USAFChief
    Which established, recurring injury has he had?
  22. USAFChief
    Have you looked at the most recent AL pitching stats? https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/2021-standard-pitching.shtml We ARE doing better than Baltimore in most areas, so I guess 14th out of 15 is something our pitching coach can hang his hat on. BTW, we also have the OLDEST average age of our pitching staff. Yeesh. A feather in Falvine's cap to boot.
  23. USAFChief
    Yeah, I still don't believe any of this. First of all, 8 of Buxton's 33 hits came on infield grounders? Doubtful. Second of all, he's not turning into Matt LeCroy. He will be an exceptionally fast runner into his late 30s at least. Not as fast, sure, but still very fast. He's not losing 50 points of OPS over infield grounders.
  24. USAFChief
    THAT'S your reasoning??
  25. USAFChief
    Hopefully Maeda wasn't "pitching hurt." If he was, someone needs to be fired. If he GOT hurt, that's different.
