    But the Twins ARE purposely not playing their best players. I don't know why some fans feel the need to deny that, or rationalize that. I can understand if you agree with their plan. I mean, I strongly DISagree with that philosophy, but that's certainly open for debate. What ISN'T open for debate is the fact the Twins do hold players out for no reason other than "load management." They schedule days off (pretty rigidly, at that), limit innings pitched zealously, and err on the side of "an extra day or 2 off after a mild injury" every time. Every. Time. All the time.

    Surely he needs a rest day after days he's on the mound, no?

    What an interesting thought, one that hadn't occurred to me. As usual, you bring thoughtful input into any discussion. I think, at the end of the day, they might not. Great players play. By definition.

    Youre just flat wrong. The Twins do not play their best players every day. Other teams do. Gio Urshella and Luis Arraez led the Twins lat year with 144 games played. Nick Gordon played as many as Carlos Correa. Plenty of MLB players logged over 150, and many more would have except for IL time. You wanna argue that resting players is a good idea, go for it. You're wrong, but at least it's an honest argument. "Everyone does" isn't.

    Thanks in part to Michael A Taylor.

    No, they do not. Plenty of teams still expect plenty of players to either be in the lineup or on the IL. And players still do, with no ill effect. Francisco Lindor doesn't need "load management," why does Correa?

    Not playing Buxton because he might get hurt has the exact same effect as if he actually was hurt. Makes zero sense. None. Not running, when on base, has the exact same effect as him being the slowest player in the majors. Makes zero sense. None. Intentionallly DHing him to put MAT in the lineup has the exact same effect as DHing MAT, 3 of 4 games. Anyone OK with that? Makes zero sense. None. Ridiculous. Put him in CF with no more days off than injury requires. Anything else is self inflicted damage to the team.

    I'll defer to your expertise.

    Miranda got a hanger there and topped it
  11. USAFChief
    Watching on tape delay?
  12. USAFChief
    I can't be too mad at MAT. It's obvious they knew long ago Buxton wasnt gonna be asked to play, and it's not easy to find a full time CFer. Castro, however, is just a really odd guy to target and add, IYAM.

    See vanimal's post.

    Dunno, never tried it on a married man, but it shoukd work. Maybe don't compliment him on his sundress.
  15. USAFChief
    Try dinner, a movie, and some compliments.

    I'll answer exactly as I did when asked about plans for moms funeral: remains to be seen.

    Hey now...it was proposed seriously that weather was a reason, WHILE IN FORT MYERS, with the second series of the year IN MIAMI.
  19. USAFChief
    He's not playing right.
  20. USAFChief
    Stupid WS playing their center fielder in left center on Gordon. Who does that?
  21. USAFChief
    In all seriousness, best wishes to Mr Hendricks as he battles that ************ cancer.

    Nyuck nyuck nyuck
  23. USAFChief
    You sometimes watch on the radio?
  24. USAFChief
    Maeda wasnt great but 6 IP with one bad inning isn't terrible either. Let's steal one here
  25. USAFChief
    And that's not enough to have a lead...
