    Then how would we fuel our message board-based angst?

    I would venture that after you see some of the 3-4-5's rolled out by BAL and OAK this year, you might retract this.

    Are you super into heroin, or is heroin super into you?

    I'm no doctor, but Buxton walked off under his own power. Doesn't sound like an ACL tear to me.

    Since bats live in caves, it would still be the bat signal, I would think. Alternatively, it could be a bear signal. Or a man signal works too.

    Is it possible that Sano is a TD lurker, and is pissed about the posts in the past couple days?
  8. Cap'n Piranha
    No no, you're thinking of Jim Pohlad.

    Ninja'd.

    Thanks Lieutenant Dan.

    Quick! Give me some stock picks! What numbers do you like for the lottery tomorrow?

    Jonron!

    On replay, it looks like he had a really awkward slide, where his left ankle (IIRC) got bent a little bit underneath him--a result of needing to speed up and slide in order to avoid getting thrown out at second due to not running it out (he looked to be jogging for most of his time on the basepaths). I'm not super concerned about him taking himself out immediately, as I definitely don't want to play games with Buxton's health--if something hurts, get him out of there ASAP. I have to assume even if Buxton wanted to stay in, Rocco would have yanked him anyways, so maybe Buxton just knew what was coming.

    Yeah, sorry, that came across harsher than I had intended. I'm just pissed about Buxton, and having a fairly rotten week at work to boot.

    Had you seen the play, you would know Buxton gave maybe 50% on that play, and would in all likelihood have avoided injury had he indeed given 110%.

    The irony of Boston fans booing Carlos Correa while calling him cheater, all while blithely unconcerned that their manager is Alex Cora, is hilarious to me.
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    Of course, if Buxton is actually running that out, he cruises into second without an issue.
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    Not a good looking slide from Buxton there.

    Hey everybody! Did we win yet?

    If we are assuming the Twins will be in contention come late July, history tells us that the FO will look to add a good-not-great reliever or two, perhaps a 4th/5th starter. What I would like them to do (based on what has happened so far this year) is add a big middle of the order bat, ideally a right-handed corner OF or 1B, allowing the Twins to have a Top 5 of Buxton, Arraez, Polanco, Correa, new bat (this assumes Arraez will DH more often than not). Concurrently, I want them to add a bullpen alpha--someone at least as good as, but hopefully better than Rogers. This assumes solid development from Duran and Alcala to give the Twins a three-headed backend monster. If that doesn't materialize, then I want them to go get 2-3 guys not quite as good as Rogers, and go with the mix-and-match from depth approach.

    What are the two dumpster fire seasons? 2021 obviously (even though it was still better than 4 out of TR 2.0's 5 seasons). Also, I think we could explain the bad attendance in 2017 on the horrific 2016 season, no? You also can't blame them for low attendance in 2020 or 2021, and the attendance is definitely low in 2022, but perhaps that has something to do with bad April weather killing walk-up sales, and a sport-crushing lockout? So in 6 seasons, I'd use attendance as a valid point in 2 of them; if Falvine get fired after this year (which of course assumes a season at least as bad, if not worse than last year), attendance will be nowhere near the list of reasons for Jim Pohlad to swing the ax. As for TR's attendance, 4 of his 5 seasons were still in the TF 5 year honeymoon period, when the park itself drew fans. This should be clear, since in 2016 the Twins still drew 24k a game, despite everything going on.

    Problem is, the Dodgers were also swinging in 30 degree weather, and they scored 14 runs in two games.
