    That's all? 13-5? Seems like TX hit more than that just off Gimenez.

    Polanco. Yeesh

    Twins dink and dunk, load the bases, dont score. One swing, 1-0 Stros. Hitting for power matters.
  4. USAFChief
    Well, no. The extra year of team control means he CANT leave as a free agent until after the 2022 season. Without it, he could have left after the 2021 season. It has nothing to do with predicting costs.
  5. USAFChief
    Be the next Aaron Hicks? We should be so lucky. Hicks would be the Twins best player today.
  6. USAFChief
    It’s not really a monetary issue. It’s a one more year of team control issue. I also believe I read the Twins tried to sign him to a deal this past winter, and for whatever reason he wasn’t agreeable. I could be wrong on this. I do agree the chances of a long term contract are now probably gone.
  7. USAFChief
    Worth less than 1/162, actually. The front office told us the season was over back in July.
  8. USAFChief
    Wow. I was pretty happy with game one. Fleck will end up being a success. They won’t be great this year, but better. And you can see he’s already improving the talent and depth. There are NFL players to be on that team. They threw the ball downfield, and looked competent at times, as well as unafraid of the very act. That’s already a leap forward.
  9. USAFChief
    It becomes harder and harder to see any progress from this front office. They’ve had two years to rework this 40 man and we get Gimenez, Belisle and Field on Sep 1st. And there’s basically nothing else intriguing enough on the 40 man to call up. Including, somehow, Buxton. They’ve dismantled the team, we know they can do that. What else have they done?
  10. USAFChief
    Unless there was something physically wrong with Austin, that’s no reason he should have been on the bench today, in favor of Gimenez.

    Speaking of which, I got two pieces of bad news at my last checkup. My doctor told me I have Alzheimer’s and cancer. But at least I don’t have cancer.
  12. USAFChief
    We lost in Dallas 18-4. At least the defense provided a couple of safeties.
  13. USAFChief
    Our definitions of “superstar” vary widely.
  14. USAFChief
    Anyone still defending Molitor, raise your hand. Anyone?
  15. USAFChief
    Just dropped by to say again...not very impressed with a front office that provides Gimenez, Belisle and Field on Sep 1. And I've never been impressed with Molitor, so today's lineup doesn't surprise me at all. Disgusts me, but doesnt surprise me.
  16. USAFChief
    Who are the other, more intriguing prospects being held back? I read it as, two years into their regime, the 40 man roster is still so underwhelming that Belisle, Gimenez, and Field are still on it and, furthermore, among the first September call ups. Falvey and Levine should be embarrassed and publicly apologizing to Twins fans everywhere for the lack of progress they’ve made.
  17. USAFChief
    Well, we bought another year...let’s hope it’s worth the bad blood between player and team, and the bad optics to every other player and agent out there. And let’s hope that year turns out to be valuable. None of that seems likely at this point to me. Yeesh, this is why I always say when I’m in charge I will trade prospects for proven big leaguers almost every time.
  18. USAFChief
    approaching 7k.
  19. USAFChief
    Probably. Or he’ll develop into a good, low velocity lefty like many have. He would need to improve his command by leaps and bounds for that to happen, as well as sharpen up at least one secondary pitch. But what’s pretty clear is that right now, he’s not going to succeed in MLB with what he’s shown.
  20. USAFChief
    I expect he and Mr Boras wouldn’t have given any discounts no matter how the Cubs acted.
  21. USAFChief
    I can’t be very impressed with an organization that finds itself far out of the race on Sept 1st, but who call up Matt Belisle, Chris Gimenez, and waiver wire fodder when rosters expand. Fine job of adding talent, Misters Falvey and Levine.
  22. USAFChief
    And Mauer only playing one position...and part time at that... immediately throws a monkey wrench into your plan.
  23. USAFChief
    How do you know that?
  24. USAFChief
    Is this for real?
  25. USAFChief
    It is pretty obvious Gonsalves is not ready to pitch in the big leagues.
