  1. I want one of those Piranha helmets.
  2. I want to like Wallner. He makes it difficult.
  3. Hell, I'm not 100% committed to watching this team, and I have absolutely nothing else to do.
  4. Gasper and Fitzgerald combine for a walk, a stolen base, and a 2 out RBI hits. As expected.
  5. You gotta work pretty hard to walk Mickey Gasper.
  6. Worst slider in the history of baseball, and I've been watching TwinsTV since the 1920s.
  7. Will Smith, 121 games caught last year. JT Realmuto 133 games in 2023. The "new accepted perception" is in Baldelli's (and Gast's) imagination.
  8. Feels like Ben Nintendo has been playing for 30 years at least.
  9. And Cal Ripken would have off days scheduled in January.
  10. A serious organization wouldn't be limited to those options.
  11. When it mattered, you couldn't get Baldelli off his "catchers go every other day, no exceptions" management mantra with a court order. But when it doesn't matter, "throw Ryan back there 5 days a week."
  12. Fabrication? How about delusional on your part that you have no idea how much work it takes to be a MLB catcher (neither do I, but it seems that I have a much better understanding than you). In Rutschman's 1st 3 years in the MLB, he caught 329 games, (not including DHing), you don't see even veterans catch that many games these days. (They don't because too many catchers wear down & land on the IL). For reference, many have said that Jeffers is a primary catcher. In his 6 yrs he has caught 420 games. First of all, Rutschman caught 293 games 2022-2024, his first three years. Maximum was 110 in 2023. Get your data correct. Second, the idea that's somehow too much is pure poppycock. Sheesh. Cal Raleigh caught 378 over the same three years. ~120 games at catcher has traditionally been the standard for catcher #1. Roughly 3 of 4. You can look all this up starting here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=rutscad01&t=f&year=2022
  13. I don't think that word means what you think it means.
  14. The Funder from down under.
  15. Perhaps consider an editor?
