  1. Lots of folks act like batting average is not important. Including, seemingly, unfortunately, the ones that run the local nine.
  2. OMG. THIS TEAM IS TERRIBLE. A GAME UNDER .500 ON JULY 1. NO TEAM HAS EVER COME FROM SO FAR DOWN AND WON A WORLD SERIES. NO TEAM HAS EVER OVERCAME A ONE GAME LEAD IN THEIR DIVISION ON JULY 1 TO WIN EITHER THEIR DIVISION, THEIR LEAGUE OR THE WORLD SERIES. THIS TEAM IS TERRIBLE. EVERY PLAYER ON THE ROSTER HAS UNDER PERFORMED THE EXPECTATIONS WE HAD FOR THEM COMING INTO THE SEASON. THEY ALL MUST BE RELEASED OR TRADED IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE 26 GUYS IN THE MINORS WHO WOULD WIN THIS DIVISION BY A COUPLE DOZEN GAMES. THE MANAGER, ALL THE COACHES AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OFFICE AND SCOUTING DEPARTMENT MUST BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY. WOE IS US. THE SKY IS FALLING.
  3. Yeah, cuz MY second guessing and rehashing is what's creating the sour taste.
  4. Moved on from Rosario with no adequate replacement ready. And now we can't hit. Wonder why? Eddie would be tied for the Twins lead in Home Runs & RBI and two points of the pace in BA.
  5. How good were the Twins last year with Arraez? Or the year before?
  6. So MUCH traces back to trading away Berrios. Tyler Mahle trade was made because we needed to plug the hole left when we traded Berrios. Didn't work out which precipitated the Arraez trade. Can probably factor the Sonny Gray trade in this mess too. Have never replaced Rosario either. I hate to keep harping on these two moves (actually, no I don't because SO much of the mess from the last two plus seasons traces back to them) but all the discussion in the world of the current state of affairs gets you nowhere if we ignore these two moves.
  7. MIGHT be a great opportunity to zig while everyone else zags. Everyone else will be (as always) looking for pitching. We should be focusing on bats. Should be less competition.
  8. You get back to me when Arraez hits 100 RBI. We're halfway thru the season and he's not at 100 if we count this year AND last year. Not holding my breath.
  9. You mean like Carlos Rodon? Or Jacob DeGrom? Justin Verlander do anything for you?
  10. Big difference. Batting champs can finish 13th in MVP voting.
  11. He IS slow, injury prone, position-less and not a run producer.
  12. I didn't. Scanned for about 30 seconds and reevaluated my life choices.
  13. I fear you have Arraez confused with someone else. He finished 13th in the MVP voting. Highly unlikely that he'll finish in top 3 this year either.
  14. Don't sleep on that injury theory just yet. A LOT of us liked the trade. Trust our instincts. Less than half a season is just that--less than half a season.
  15. Arraez won the batting title last year with an OPS below .800. That's hard to do. For reference, D.J. LaMeahieu won the batting title a few years back with only 10 home runs. His OPS was over 1.000. Arraez is over .900 this year. Just makes it sting a little more.
  16. You mean like the "empty" batting title Arraez won last year?
  17. Unless they view Miranda as the future at 3B, NO. And pretty sure they don't.
  18. Who creates an all-time Twins team using fantasy values?
  19. Who knew the offense would be this pathetic? We ALL should have known. What did we do to improve the offense other than trade away the leading hitter in the AL? NOTHING. We did nothing to improve the offense and we're on pace to score almost exactly the same number of runs as we did last year. Why are we surprised?
  20. If only I had all of the comments praising the deal when it happened because they were finally going out and getting a front line starter.
  21. Not sure where you think I said anything about him continuing to play the same way.
