    KC should win this pretty handily.

    I mean, Houston should win but we certainly have a good shot. Our pitching has been pretty good and Houston isn't the juggernaut they used to be. I like our young hitters a lot. Gun to my head, I think Houston wins this but I really wouldn't be surprised if we pulled this off. It's not a horrible match-up for us and I could see us winning a game like game 1 against Toronto - 3 runs on 2 homers being all the scoring.

    Meh. They made good decisions that I liked (Lopez/Arraez trade), good moves that I was not as high on (Gray/Petty trade), they made a lot of bad decisions and the Twins were rewarded by playing in the worst division. We should be thrilled we beat Toronto and we have a puncher's chance against Houston but if you had misgivings about this FO being able to create a consistent winning team coming into the season, I'm not sure how much this season would change your mind.

    I'm not 100% sure that's true. I remember watching some replays where their defense stunted but Ingram was on someone and our center couldn't pick up the rush. I'm certainly not an expert, but my eye-test was that Ingram had one of his better games while O'Neil struggled a bit more than he usually does.

    I don't know the answer to this but how easy would it be for Cousins to go to Pittsburgh on Tuesday and be game ready Sunday with the new playbook? I'm sure it's happened but I can't remember a lot of in-season trades for starting QBs. Or does Pittsburgh decide to lose draft capital and take a "L" on Sunday? Seems risky. Especially since Pickett was a first round pick himself and Cousins only has a year left.

    Tough loss. Good game. I really like Herbert and you could argue he's not a top 5 QB in the game. Wish we had him. Lots of missed chances and the last 30 seconds were a disaster but nice to see some kind of running game show up.

    Gads. Gophers really found a way to lose to Northwestern.

    I like Mattison and I'm glad he spoke up about the racist **** that he had sent to him. But, to me, he was a really good back up that didn't make you change your game plan.
  9. gunnarthor
    I assume the coaching staff has lost faith in Mattinson so ...

    Gray shouldn't win it, Cole should. But Gray might come in second or third. He's had a really great season. Congrats to him. I'm sure we all would have been thrilled at the beginning of the year if we were told he'd be second in the Cy race.

    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38444595/brusdar-graterol-mother-sees-son-pitch-7-years-apart Worth a quick read.

    I would think they are the team we would want to play the most.
  13. gunnarthor
    I liked the trade when it happened but I've always been low on Arraez. I think it was a really good trade from a timing perspective - trade him right after he won the batting title. And I like Lopez. I also might not be as high as others on Lopez but he's a really good ML pitcher and hopefully will stay healthy for the rest of his contract with us. I would certainly do that trade again.
  14. gunnarthor
    Cousins wasn't the same after he was pile drived into the ground on his QB run before the TD. Probably had a concussion.
  15. gunnarthor
    You all are pessimists. 10-7 and win the division!
  16. gunnarthor
    Ugh. I'm not sure I'm ready for Detroit to actually be good.
  17. gunnarthor
    Considering where we were just a few months ago, I'm thrilled that we will make the playoffs.
  18. gunnarthor
    Completely agree with this.
  19. gunnarthor
    I like that hot take.
  20. gunnarthor
    I think I agree entirely with this. I go back and fourth about the NFL. There are things I really, truly hate about it - how it literally takes years of the lives of its players, how its a "non-profit" for tax purposes, it's military imagery. But the collection of QBs in the AFC right now is one of the best things in the NFL in decades. Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Allen, Lawrence, Jackson, Tagovailoa, are all mostly young (27 or younger) and improving. Plus a few old guys like Rodgers and Wilson. And, while I agree with you that Cleveland will likely underachieve, Watson could be an elite QB. Plus, Indy has huge hopes on Richardson and Ryan Tannenhill isn't a bad QB, just nothing fancy. But he's certainly not a disaster.

    I guess we had a different understanding of locking them up young. Lewis is nice but a longterm contract with him should be a back burner issue, at best.
  22. gunnarthor
    He's 24 and under team control through his age 29 season, right? No need to lock him up. He does have some injury history.
  23. gunnarthor
    Darn
  24. gunnarthor
    Yeah, those Rangers' MIers are having a great sesason, both are top 4 in WAR. Also a bit bittersweet to see Luis Robert have the season we all wanted Buxton to have. But, my God, Ohanti. Has anyone ever doubled the runner up in WAR? He's close.
  25. gunnarthor
    Fudge it, I've seen enough. I've watched some good Twins teams get nowhere in the playoffs. This team isn't good but they'll be the one that breaks the streak and actually advances in the playoffs. 😃
