  1. We found the same thing interesting, but went in opposite directions!
  2. Dick announces a promotion for tickets starting for $5, and mentions it's for a limited time only. I think it's cute that the Twins think they'll be able to fill the upper reaches of the outfield for more than $5 this summer.
  3. That fly ball is why Luis should not be in left field. Shades of the Miguel Sano, Right Fielder experiment.
  4. I agree with this. Look no further than the team at the top of the Division Standings that has beat our brains in this year (combined score of the 6 games is White Sox 48-23, an average of 8-4). In the 2016/2017 offseason, the White Sox traded Sale and Eaton for Giolito, Moncada, Lopez, Dunning, and Kopech (Dunning was turned into Lance Lynn). Add in the 2017 mid-season trade of Quintana that netted Jimenez and Cease, and the White Sox added 6 key contributors to their current team by moving assets when it was clear the team's upside was gone.
  5. This whole post should be carved in granite outside all 30 stadiums. Fantastic takedown of the inanity of "unwritten" rules.
  6. The problem with your reference to other sports is that most other sports are timed, whereas baseball is not. Unless you think in blowouts hitters should simply refuse to swing, no matter the count, hitters will have to swing in order for the game to end. Why is swinging 3-0 and hitting a homer disrespectful, but waiting one more pitch, and swinging 3-1 and hitting a homer is fine? If we are honestly worried about a mad rash of disrespectful behavior breaking out should unwritten rules be done away with, wouldn't it make more sense to simply codify the offending behaviors, and instruct the umpires to eject players who engage in said behaviors?
  7. I disagree with this. Rocco consistently runs his best bullpen pitchers into the ground because he pitches them any time it's a close game. He continues to pitch Rogers on back-to-back days despite the statistical reality that that is a bad idea. He kept playing Buxton, even when Buxton was hurt, which may have contributed to the more serious injury.
  8. While Twins fans can't believe that Alexander Colome
  9. Agreed, I'm just baffled by the timing of it. Not really sending a message when you wait until the 7th to do it, and then you also burn your second-best (?) reliever in the bargain.
  10. If that was purposeful, that's an extremely odd decision. Why wait until the 7th to do that? Why bring Duffey in to do it? That had to have been Duffey going rogue, or it was an honest mistake.
  11. And hope that for Twins fans, this season is only
  12. Well, if it's the 2021 Twins, it's by taking the...
  13. Now it's 10 outs to their 9. Your wish fulfilled.
