    Worst slider in the history of baseball, and I've been watching TwinsTV since the 1920s.

    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.

    Feels like Ben Nintendo has been playing for 30 years at least.
  4. USAFChief
    And Cal Ripken would have off days scheduled in January.
  5. USAFChief
    Triples are funner than HRs.
  6. USAFChief
    Exactly. Hammer the over.
  7. USAFChief
    Wow. The "crowd."
  8. USAFChief
    Hammer the over
  9. USAFChief
    A serious organization wouldn't be limited to those options.

    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."

    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

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.
  13. USAFChief
    woof
  14. USAFChief
    Yes he will.
  15. USAFChief
    What's the difference?
  16. USAFChief
    The Funder from down under.
  17. USAFChief
    Perhaps consider an editor?
  18. USAFChief
    See, that's the thing. The actual Minnesota Twins ARE an embarrassment.
  19. USAFChief
    Handily
  20. USAFChief
    Fair take, if they make trades from the minors. I don't see it, but it's possible.
  21. USAFChief
    Would it tho?
  22. USAFChief
    There is little chance of contending in 2026. None without significant FA expenditures. That's unlikely, and even with a surprise willingness to spend, the next year's FA class is thin. As much as I hate rebuilds, and distrust prospects, keeping Lopez and Ryan just makes no sense. For what? They've already gutted themselves severely, might as well go full seppuku.
  23. USAFChief
    Well, if that's the case, he's certainly on track.
  24. USAFChief
    I would have thought TD would have more self respect and respect for its readers than to stoop to this level. There is nothing positive about gutting your team, running out an embarrassing collection of minor league dreck while charging full prices. Nothing. If you want to point to draft position after it's known, great. Cheering for losses now? Wow.
  25. USAFChief
    If the options are "get asking price" or "non-tender" it seems to me the front office should have explored "get what you can."
