    it certainly worked out for Houston. Hopefully it does for us too and at the end of the day we can say that this was a trade that ultimately benefited both teams... I guess the real question is whether or not Pressley would have helped us advance in 2019... I don't think we beat the Yankees with him, but I do wonder if we had a better seed and didnt' have to play them due to a better seed.

    Is Buxton hurt again?

    9-2 start to the season... that's a fun number.
  4. diehardtwinsfan
    We're 9-2 and already have a decent lead after playing one of our harder stretches... I'm liking the way this season is shaping up... Hopefully, we can get Buxton, Sano, Garver, and Donaldson on track...

    Seems to me that the value of a deep lineup is being able to let those injuries heal instead of playing a player at 90% and possibly making it worse... If you see a rash of these things, I'd be worried.

    this... hopefully this is due to Arraez getting a bit stronger. Like others said, I don't want to see his contact ability change.. you need that, especially in situations with runners on where a walk isn't going to do much.... now if the contact ability stays the same and he gets a bit more power... let's just say that's makings of a very good career.

    number 1 might not be an over-reaction...

    60-0 here we come.

    I've got to think if you've looked past 2019, that Rosario probably has a couple top 5 60 game performances.

    There are literally hundreds of empty minor league stadiums and plenty of nice AAA ballparks out there that would work. Why not play in a place like Indianapolis or Rochester? Fans won't be there anyways.

    this logic is wrong because you're only taking 50% off of one group (black males) and then applying it to an entire population ignoring the fact that there are zero women baseball players in the majors (and probably the minors too, but I haven't looked). I'd love to see a female professional ballplayers some day, but I highly doubt I see that happening in my lifetime much less women making up a noticeable percentage of MLB players. 13% of Americans are black... that's true. Approximately 13% of American males are black as well. Until women make up a sizeable percentage of baseball players, there's no need to adjust that number downward, and even then it wouldn't be done because black women become part of the conversation.

    I would argue that baseball really needs to re-invest in the inner cities of this country as well as youth programs all over the country. The path to getting to the majors is much harder in professional baseball and its popularity with the youth continues to dive... that to me is a much larger problem but would also make headway here.

    I'd rather them be disrespected and come in with a chip on their shoulder than to get too much respect and get overconfident.

    I usually use ESPN Game day or something like that and hang out in the game threads... It's not quite the same, but it works.
  16. diehardtwinsfan
    pretty sure verve posted in the minors forums periodically... but haven't seen that user ID in a long time.
  17. diehardtwinsfan
    I blame Randball for the curse.
  18. diehardtwinsfan
    I'm not sure why he would need to do that covertly given the era he lived in.
  19. diehardtwinsfan
    hopefully we get good Buxton and not slow start Buxton... Cause good Buxton is a huge difference maker.
  20. diehardtwinsfan
    I blame the Twins for doing him no favors.
  21. diehardtwinsfan
    A lot of that rest is keeping him fresh for the dog days of summer so to speak... with a 60 game schedule, I think he might end up playing in a higher percentage of games. Obviously, being a catcher, he's going to get some needed days off, but I'm hoping he sees a higher percentage of games than he would have in a full 162 game season.
  22. diehardtwinsfan
    hmm... you or Chief?
  23. diehardtwinsfan
    username has not changed... I'd like to think I have.

    I don't think the issue is Washington's name... the bigger issue is other names. I don't think Psuedo's argument quite stands with team names like the Vikings for instance... I definitely struggle a lot more with the Chiefs and Braves, but I would think the marking value alone would pay for the costs... so I guess I don't know squat. The Indians I can see b/c of that wahoo ridiculous caricature. They've been distancing themselves from it... good, but it's still all over the place.
  25. diehardtwinsfan
    the sample size will be a big factor here too. Bad teams can be decent for 60 games... Good teams can be bad, and occasionally great.
