    Buxton catches that.

    Who the **** thought it was a good idea to have a football game at Target Field? Dave St Peter??
  3. USAFChief
    Dozier. As expected.
  4. USAFChief
    yes.
  5. USAFChief
    I suspect Mrs North played a role.
  6. USAFChief
    Personally, I disliked them trading away, and also disliked not adding. And maybe it's just me, but trading Garcia and Kintzler sure felt like a "we give up" moment for the front office. Which I also disliked.

    It's just how I read it. Probably my bias about Fangraphs showing through, but nonetheless, it's how I interpret it.
  8. USAFChief
    Agree with every word, particularly the bolded. Well said.
  9. USAFChief
    To be perfectly clear, I think it's absolutely ridiculous to demand anyone be fired. I am no Trump supporter. But I stand by my belief the protest method is disrespectful in and of itself, and further by being so, loses it's impact and gives those who would ignore it exactly what they need to do so.

    Link please?
  11. USAFChief
    Sorry Pseudo...IMO every word you've written here is wrong. Kneeling HAS become the issue, not inequity. The message has been lost in favor of the protest.
  12. USAFChief
    Both Gibson and Hildenberger would have gotten similar if not identical opportunities even if the Twins ADDED pitching. Check the list of pitchers used.
  13. USAFChief
    And this is the key point...the Twins were in it, had been in it all season, and had a very reasonable chance of staying in it. After a half decade of suck. Don't sell. Add.
  14. USAFChief
    Tyler Watson was too good to pass up??
  15. USAFChief
    We agree they are more than one pitcher away. We disagree it's going to be easier or cheaper. And I certainly hope 18 months isn't their time frame.
  16. USAFChief
    I think not being significant buyers at the deadline was clearly wrong in the short term, and likely wrong in the long term. It merely delayed the need to acquire pitching, not avoided it. They will still need to do it. And we missed the benefits of such acquisitions in 2017. Verlander, for example, was a missed opportunity, and one they didn't even try.
  17. USAFChief
    You can't really give them credit for seeing the reality of the hopeless position they were in, thereby justifying dumping at the deadline... And then turn around and give them credit for "not sinking their chances." There is no doubt they weakened the team at the deadline. They not only didn't add, they subtracted. The idea they aren't worse off for not having Kintzler is pretty far fetched. They erred. It's ok to say do.
  18. USAFChief
    It's good there are legit arguments for more than one player. Real good.
  19. USAFChief
    Or because he's German. He had beer for breakfast in kindergarten.
  20. USAFChief
    nice
  21. USAFChief
    also prescient
  22. USAFChief
    best prediction in this thread
  23. USAFChief
    Dozier.
  24. USAFChief
    There was one. Or there could have been, at least. Now the conversation is about standing during the anthem.
  25. USAFChief
    I'm also a vet, and I also agree 100 percent. They certainly can. I also think it's a really, really poor choice. Wrong, and counterproductive.
