    ‘’Pagán's first season with Minnesota was somewhat inconsistent. He posted a 4.43 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 63 innings. His strikeout stuff was evident (30.7 K%), but he struggled to consistently turn that ability into strong results. The following s>…..’’ definitely no if I get a vote, but I don’t. The quote above and story doesn’t bother to spell out how many blown saves he had with the Twins.. and they were weren’t just blown saves by a run here, run their, but they were dynamite blown saves, hitting batters, walking batters, bases get loaded or two on and the next thing you know a three run home runner, a grand slam, and he did that kind of stuff more than a few times. I can never remember a reliever that could so blow up a hold or save situation than Pagan.

    It was in 1969.

    As a senior fan, getting to see Rod Carew stealing home seven times in one season. If memory serves me correctly, July wasn’t even finished when he stole number seven. At that point the league was hyper aware of him on third base and nobody wanted anything to do with being a part of number eight or more.
  4. LeatherAntenna
    Yes, when I read that, I thought it was another satire story.
  5. LeatherAntenna
    So could you take this story and switch the names from Rodriguez to Buxton and just backdate the story 10 to 12 years?
  6. LeatherAntenna
    Can you take this a step further and compare to salary? I believe last year or maybe the year before, the average cost of 1 WAR was something like 8 million. So if you have a 2 win WAR player making 20 million they could be a negative performer relative to their peers.

    ‘’Pohlad has done something previous ownership groups have been reluctant to do. He has publicly acknowledged that simply being competitive isn't good enough,’’ when was ‘’simply being competitive?’’ I guess I missed that.

    When is the future now for the Minnesota Twins fans? Is it watching these two calls us play for a sub 500 team?
  9. LeatherAntenna
    Looks like we got even for the Varland trade last year
  10. LeatherAntenna
    Some story on this website yesterday said the Twins should sell if they can’t be sure they contend or be able to sign their growing stars or future solid players. Well, when will they ever be able to do that if not now, is there some guarantee in the future that can resign their Ryan’s and their Jeffers? If you can’t or won’t sign you’re growing stars or future solid playersthen you resign yourself to mediocrity
  11. LeatherAntenna
    Yes, let’s trade Ryan. Then spend the next several years developing Bradley into something more. Then we trade Bradley.. and then onto the next pitcher…..
  12. LeatherAntenna
    A foundation for the future, until the next trade deadline get in the way.
  13. LeatherAntenna
    Don’t forget, faith,
  14. LeatherAntenna
    Sure is a good thing we gutted the whole pen last year.
  15. LeatherAntenna
    Twins will look different after deadline? What shocking news. Every year, let’s develop players until they have trade potential. Really makes you want to watch the Twins in April and May, after that not so much.
  16. LeatherAntenna
    While truly hot is he hitting to all fields? I’ve heard no mention of that. If he is just strictly pull hitting, then back up, won’t we just will see a .165 hitter again?
  17. LeatherAntenna
    Emilio….
  18. LeatherAntenna
    Roger’s committed an Emil Pagan.
  19. LeatherAntenna
    And hitting to the opposite field. If all his minor league HRs are pulls……
  20. LeatherAntenna
    Or bodies develop as they age in their 20’s. Like David Ortiz, with the Twins he was a strong but slender man with the Twins, and then one year in Boston he’s turned into the Incredible Hulk. Must have been the Boston Harbor sea food..
  21. LeatherAntenna
    I’m afraid we saw his best in 2023 and we will never see again. He did have a career year with those 4 GS’s. How does this fall off happen with someone so young?
  22. LeatherAntenna
    Sounds wonderfully simple but you don’t just walk down a street and catch a little inflammation. Shouldn’t there be more to it? One would think you would find it useful diagnosing the cause.
  23. LeatherAntenna
    Royce Lewis in keeping his tradition will blow out his hamstring the first AB in the first game of the season.
  24. LeatherAntenna
    Thought the same about Lewis. I sure hope I don’t hear him say ‘’I don’t do slumps.’’
  25. LeatherAntenna
    I don’t understand someone so young needing tj surgery. How does that happen?
