    This is unquestionably the weakest group this organization has ever sent to the AFL. Wow.

    Watch the playoff teams' bullpens and then try to tell me velo isn't important. Of COURSE velo is important. It's obviously not the only thing that matters, but a fastball on the corner at 98 is just better than the same fastball at 91. To argue otherwise is ridiculous. And yes, this front office has done a poor job of adding it, and keeping it, to the staff. Despite CLEAR evidence successful teams have seen velo as a weapon for years now.

    "Too many horns"?? Unpossible.

    One of Sano/Kepler has to go. Opens a spot for Kirilloff. I'd also deal Arraez if there is a market. Not sure he's worth as much as people think.

    And a "Counsell" is the manager of the Milwaukie Brewers.

    #1 is the one that sticks on my craw. Poor baserunning, throwing to the wrong base, not hitting the cutoff man, etc etc. This team was fundamentally bad at playing baseball. And Rocco seems to have ignored that, IMO. Fostered it, even, with lack of infield practice, and a failure to emphasize fundamentals, IMO. I actually LIKE his handling of the pitching staff, for the most part. But I can't get past the poor baseball. Grade D.

    October: in a rather weird twist, Twins and Vikings seasons end on the same day.

    Dunno whether it's better or worse, but it's definitely a trend.

    The Rays finished the year with the 4rh best team ERA in MLB. But...they did not have a single pitcher qualify for the ERA title. Not one Rays pitcher threw even 162 innings.

    6/110. Or 6/120 6/140 Whatever it takes. Or Falvine should be gone.

    Concur.

    These weekly recaps are a strong addition to TD. Well done Nick.

    That's a crack about my weight, huh?
  14. 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"??
  17. 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.
  20. USAFChief
    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.

    Many favorite Twins moments. Concur with a couple mentioned above. This one, a rather random July game right before the AS Game, is another favorite of mine. Brian Dozier caps off aa huge 9th inning rally against the Tigers as the Twins come back from a 6-0 deficit. Mrs Chief and I happened to be in Minnesota that day, and caught the end of the game on the radio as we drove to pick up Jake's Pizza in Willmar. Mrs Chief normally doesn't get all that excited, but even she let out an explative or two as Dozier's HR was called. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&ei=UTF-8&p=dozier+walks+off+detroit&type=E211US105G0#id=2&vid=c749de35b9af64ed293f5b7bdf06c066&action=click

    Wait...Who's on first?

    "We don't serve time travellers here" yelled the barkeep. A time traveller walks into a bar.

    And the exception proves the rule.
