    Mrs Chief and I took a Caribbean cruise last winter. One of our favorite things to do was visit little cafés in the ports we stopped at. We'd go just for dessert. I had apple pie in the Bahamas for $6, blueberry pie in Jamaica for $8, and pecan pie in Puerto Rico for only $5. Yes, my friends...those are the pie rates of the Caribbean.

    Also the Paddack trade.

    They could start by asking their prospective starters to throw more than 5 in the minors. Just a thought from hopelessly out of touch old man yelling at clouds.

    Raging Homer
  5. USAFChief
    Pretty nice job, Zebulon. Pretty nice.
  6. USAFChief
    Left handed, natch.
  7. USAFChief
    Pretty sure he was safe. As bad as the slide was, the catcher positioning was worse

    The real issue isn't Vazquez getting playing time. Who GAF? Gaspar has less business getting ABs than Vazquez. The real issue is Falvine putting the Twins in a position of Vazquez being their 2nd best C option and ZERO depth in the minors. Not having ANYone more deserving right now of playing time. They have been exceptionally lucky not to have suffered any injuries at C for basically forever.

    Someone let Corey and Hawk know Keirsey has seen his last day as a MN Twin.
  10. USAFChief
    We're sorry, "yes" is the answer we were looking for
  11. USAFChief
    huh?
  12. USAFChief
    Yeah I dont understand where this idea comes from that Martin can play OF. He was awful before.
  13. USAFChief
    What does "flash" even mean?
  14. USAFChief
    Hahaha. Keaschall. GTFO
  15. USAFChief
    Wallner's been taking better ABs recently.

    Explain to me how Rojas is a "successful LH starter." He's thrown 41.2 innings this season. Never more than 84 in any season. Five starts above A ball one at AAA.
  17. USAFChief
    But hey, by 2023 that got us a WC series win!
  18. USAFChief
    It's fine to be optimistic. It's another to say "Rojas will be ready early in 2026." Rojas has 5 starts above A ball. Five. Hes never thrown more than 84 innings in a season and has 41.2 so far this season. He's not going to be part of the 2026 rotation. How could he be?

    Sucking for a couple years is no guarantee you're a "95 win or more team" in 3-4. If only it were that easy.
  20. USAFChief
    I hope to hell Rocco doesn't waste any ABs on Fitzpatrick or Gaspar. I mean, the situation is bad enough. Let's not waste development time for Lee by giving some of it to Ryan Fitzpatrick. I dont have much hope Lee is going to reward that playing time down the road, but his chances are 1M times greater than Fitzpatrick.

    I said the same, in this very thread. Which has zero to do with the question of "Should the Twins hire a new manager?" Which has zero to do with who owns the team.
  22. USAFChief
    Yeah. I don't know about this. I mean, there's a lot of love for ownership around here.
  23. USAFChief
    Whether or not the team is sold should have zero effect on retaining a poor manager. Sheesh.
  24. USAFChief
    I disagree with the premise that bullpens are easy to build. Its relative child's play, for example, to fix first base. Just takes money or a single trade. Fixing a bullpen takes a half dozen or more successes. And ultimately the bullpen is way more important.
  25. USAFChief
    Im as PO'd as anyone about the disaster of a deadline day, but to be fair we can't really expect the bullpen not to suck. You can't take the top 2/3rds off any bullpen and expect to be able to reconstruct it in August. I doubt you can do it two Augusts from now.
