    the grass isn't always greener....

    Firing folks tends to lead to hiring folks whose firing will soon be called for. Look it up.
  3. dxpavelka
    To be fair, Larnach has also shown the other end of what young players can do and Lewis and Kiriloff could be tripping over a sunflower seed from their next injury.
  4. dxpavelka
    Sounds like maybe Larnach should be replaced.......
  5. dxpavelka
    Arraez never flirted with .400 as a Twin so can you miss something you never had?
  6. dxpavelka
    and just who would that be?
  7. dxpavelka
    Going on for the third straight season. It's almost like this team has played with no heart since Eddie Rosario (and Nelson Cruz) left.
  8. dxpavelka
    Further Fun fact: Twins LFs have the worst OPS of any team in the big leagues.
  9. dxpavelka
    Huh. Talent is there. Stats are there. Something is missing. It's almost like something not measured by stats and analytics is missing. HEART. This team has none and hasn't had any since Eddie Rosario and Nelson Cruz left. You can call this a ******** argument all you want but the fact that the discussion exists validates it.

    His runs scored and driven in would both be second on the Twins. More fun.
  11. dxpavelka
    Fun fact: Eddie Rosario would be 3rd on the Twins in home runs.
  12. dxpavelka
    The flaw in your argument is that the issue is that Taylor is not a good enough hitter to be the every day CF. Which may be true. Perhaps the cure would be to find a better bat to play CF. File the name Nick Senzel away in your roladex.
  13. dxpavelka
    Could be worse. Most of the writers on here spent the whole fall pleading for us to sign Omar Narvaez.
  14. dxpavelka
    About as close as you are to marrying a Kardashian.

    Probably just missed this one but Solano is 382nd in RBI
  16. dxpavelka
    Meanwhile, Simeon Woods-Richardson...
  17. dxpavelka
    Dude, let's go a little easy on Solano. He's got FIVE RBI.
  18. dxpavelka
    advanced analytics are an excellent means of predicting the past
  19. dxpavelka
    Don't know why folks are so surprised. We scored fewer than 700 runs last year and did nothing to improve the offense. The fact that the offense is not improved is not shocking. Solano STILL stuck on FIVE rbi. On a positive note, Garlick being send across the river.
  20. dxpavelka
    Berrios solid. Woods-Richardson, not so much. who'dathunkit
  21. dxpavelka
    We've likewise yearned for a 4th (or maybe even 3rd OF) since dumping Rosario. Sometimes foolish to move a vet without somebody playing him completely off the roster.
  22. dxpavelka
    A spark looks like a guy who plays with heart and brings stuff to the table that stats and metrics can't measure. We haven't had that since we moved on from Eddie Rosario & Nelson Curz.
  23. dxpavelka
    Couldn't agree more. Hate to keep harping on the same points over and over again but Eddie Rosario is a perfect example. We moved on from him for nothing to save $8 Million, in part because we had "an overabundance of corner OF talent." First of off, I'm old enough to remember a time when fans of this team would scream and holler about "cheap ownership" getting rid of a proven performer to save $8 Million. Actually we'd have whined about substantially lower savings. And, yes, I know. He's absolutely sucked since he left. All he's managed to do is win a World Series and make a second playoff appearance. Know what else he's done? Outperform most of the collection of stiffs we've put in LF for the last two and a half years prior to Larnach showing a pulse this year. The play in 2021 SHOULD have been to keep him and let somebody play him off the roster. Moves like that are why we've spent the last two years WATCHING the playoffs. Polanco's a great example of the same situation playing itself out in the coming years. Do we move on from him this off season and declare the one of Lewis or Brooks Lee play that spot going forward or do we keep him AND bring up one of the kids and give both playing time until the kid(s?) play him off the roster? Your move Mr. FalVine.

    Seems like less than a month ago I was getting roasted on this site for mentioning the fact that we're nearly two years in to the Berrios trade and thus far have ZERO return to show for it. Never an egg timer when you need one.
  25. dxpavelka
    85 wins and a deep post-season run is in play as well.
