    There are a lot of problems with this but to cut through all of it, it is 2022. Homophobia - which is what these players are showing - should be mocked. The Rays should have, as the article suggests, been out in front of this like other organizations have done so this didn't happen. Also, this is my fairly annual reminder that you all can usually march in the pride parade. Just reach out to organizations that are registered. It's a lot of fun.

    It's amazing how many new accounts sprung up on TD just to push anti-vax views. Russian troll bots are going after baseball forums!!!

    Yeah, good point. Wally Pipp someone.
  5. gunnarthor
    Honestly, could have been worse.

    Who told you we want to see you?

    Well done, stu, well done. I'm pretty sure Dr. Van Lowe also spends considerable time on message boards, spreading misinformation. I also enjoyed the (real) piece in the pioneer press that stated the "most common, long-term effect [of the vaccines] has been not dying of COVID."

    There's no silver bullet but let's try a few things besides thoughts and prayers. And those cops were pathetic. Not a surprise at all, but I'm really glad people are noticing. I think cutting the police budget by 20% and using that money on mental health issues for kids would have been money better spent. But at least they have a really nice swat team photo.

    We've already seen this FO throw in the towel at the deadline and see the team make the postseason despite the FO. So .... maybe they will trade Correa, depending on what, if any, offer is out there. My guess is it doesn't happen but we'll see.

    The Twins don't have any but think Cy Young winning pitchers or those who are in contention, year in, year out. Baseball seems to be moving away from aces and into bullpen games. I don't like it but it is what it is. Here's an old article on what scouts usually meant when they say "ace". https://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/8/7/3226335/defining-1-2-3-4-5-starters

    Gotta admit, that's nice but didn't do a lot to make me feel more positive these last few days.
  12. gunnarthor
    That was a fun game, Gray looked great.
  13. gunnarthor
    We traded Cruz because the season was a TSF. Again, I've said it a million times, this FO has two jobs when they were hired - add pieces around the core and keep the window of opportunity open longer. They've had more failures than successes on both of those - they've been bailed out by the players winning despite them, not because of them - but this season looks like it'll be a good one. I hope it does. I'm sure they are learning on the job as well and striving to become better.

    I don't like this FO, think they are in over their heads. That said, while I think we lost this trade, it's an ok trade. We got a controllable starter and a few other pieces for a bullpen arm that would be gone at the end of the year and Rooker. It's a good return. I was also a bit lower on Rogers than others, thinking his best days were behind him. Better to trade him too soon rather than too late.

    Wants to win, knows he's good. Yeah, his swagger fits better with the Yankees than the Twins.
  16. gunnarthor
    He just needed to wait until the cement dried.
  17. gunnarthor
    That did make me laugh.
  18. gunnarthor
    Exactly. The Pohlad's have conditioned Twins fans to think that we can't afford a real payroll so we needed to dump Donaldson to get Correa. We didn't need to. We could have had both of them. Donaldson is a great player - he'd lead the Twins in WAR right now. He gets on base, has power, and is a better defender than given credit for.
  19. gunnarthor
    Yeah, Yankees/Dodgers WS is looking pretty clear right now.

    Hadn't realized that the Patriots game was on Thanksgiving, despite it actually saying that. Should be a fun game, I love turkey day football.
  21. gunnarthor
    I'm sure it's not just Rocco's decision. The conspiracy theory in me thinks maybe the FO doesn't want him to hit incentives in the contract - Pohlad's don't want to pay more. ?
  22. gunnarthor
    Not the hardest schedule. Seems like 14-3 is realistic.
  23. gunnarthor
    We're not as good as we looked when we were winning 14 out of 17 but we're not quite as bad as we looked against the Astros. We're a playoff team but the pitching will doom the team in the long run.
  24. gunnarthor
    It is what it is. The Twins thought this trade would help them this year for a variety of reasons. Let the year play out.
  25. gunnarthor
    Nick Gordon pitched? Good grief.
