    Besides refusing to answer some important questions.

    the Child in Chief will just keep saying it's all made up. And his followers will believe him. And since none of these guys have the juevos to say anything on the record, it will result in nothing.

    IF that would have been the actual outcome, it would have been awesome. Of course, no possible way to know if it would have.

    thank you. Just something else to blame 'the egg heads' for ruining the game;-) This is an idea teams are trying based on quite a lot of data. So many fans are vigorously opposed to any kind of change in the game. It's pretty predictable. Makes me wonder why they bother to continue watching and posting about a sport they obviously care less and less for. No amount of complaining will stop teams from trying new things and the game evolving. If overall, it doesn't work for some teams, it will be abandoned by them. But let's not forget for one second we have given up tons of runs this season already doing it the traditional way. Still need to have quality pitchers for any strategy to work.

    I don't think this FO was handed a great situation at all. I think there was a lot to fix and just because we ended up having a good record last year doesn't change that. That 2017 record didnt change the fact our supposed great position player prospects come up here and poop the bed consistently. Didnt change the fact that that we can't seem to be develop pitchers (yes, Berrios and.....?) Didn't change the fact we keep having top draft picks fail over and over. This stuff isn't on the new FO. Can't change a whole organization and fix everything needed in the time they have had. Last year's fluke season put unrealistic expectations on this new FO team. Lots to fix, a whole culture to change. Have they done everything perfect, no, but the dysfunctional organization they were handed will take time to fix, as much as fans don't want it too.

    I haven't heard that, or seen that, but good on him if that's the case.

    well yeah...of course he was picked... 'When Kyl takes office, he will restore the GOP's 51-49 seat majority in the Senate. That margin is critical now as the GOP seeks a majority vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Kyl was charged with helping Kavanaugh navigate the confirmation process in the Senate, and "now, Senator Kyl can cast a vote for Kavanaugh's confirmation," Ducey said on Tuesday.'

    WH is already working to discredit the book. As if a reporter like Woodward would just make stuff up. And is if anyone is going to own up to what was actually said. Did you listen to the phone call between Trump and Woodward. great example of how much of a childish nut job Trump is.
  9. jimmer
    sure you want to build around a 31 year old pitcher who has been decent this year after being horrible the previous two years?

    if everyone had to eat crow after a bad prediction, then almost all of us would be eating crow on a regular basis ;-)

    It's not like many other teams haven't considered service time when making decisions, and players still sign with those teams. I think everyone, including Buxton, should look at the amount of his controlled service time that got burned while he played horribly.

    See, to me, he isn't bland at all. Every time I've listened to him he's come up with all sorts of interesting stuff along with very detailed analysis. And he occasionally cracks me up. I like Hawkins too, but he and Morneau, IMO, are the only good ones that have worked with Bremer (and that includes Bert) in a long time.
  13. jimmer
    All of this.

    Now THAT would cause an issue. But that doesn't happen often. Hasn't happened since the new format started, has it? And even if it did happen now, with the way it's set up right now, it would also back up when the division leaders play, correct? Cause the 163 game (s) would have to be played, then the W Card games. So same exact issue. If that happened now, the division leaders first series would be backed up, and in my scenario, they would also be backed up. But by what, one day? Still not a big deal. Still better to have the wild card series be best of three.

    Doubt it Trump, 'I have nothing to hide, I did nothing wrong, but the American people aren't going to be allowed to know the results cause everyone knows it was a witch hunt. Just take my word for it.' In other news, he is on Sessions' behind again for not obstructing justice in the indictment of two GOP congressmen. Doesn't Session know he's not allowed to prosecute Republicans? '"Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department," Trump tweeted. "Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff..." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-blasts-sessions-over-gop-congressmen-indictments/ar-BBMPxE7?li=BBnb7Kz

    I think Morneau has been the best fill in for Bert.
  17. jimmer
    Yup, 2 to 3 games would equal a whole week off... Season ends Sunday, best 2 out of 3 could happen Mon night game, Wed night game, Thurs day game (team with better record gets Wed and Thursday games at home). The #2 and #3 Division leaders could start their series Thursday, and the #1 seed would start their series on Friday, playing the winner of the Wild Card series. Would make it hard on the Wild Card team travel wise, but not anymore than a regular season does. And of course, last year the division winners played their first games on, wait for it, Thursday and Friday. So in my scenario, the division leaders could start playing their first series the same days they did last year. No extra days of waiting. Even IF they decided to add one more day off to what they had last year (and they wouldn't have to), it's hardly a big deal. Much less fair than having 95+ win teams get one shot in the playoffs...

    It's about money and it's dumb. Should be a 2 out of 3 scenario, which would make them even more money AND actually be fair.
  19. jimmer
    So, I'm guessing you aren't going to predict the Twins win the division in 2019 like you predicted they would this year? :-)
  20. jimmer
    De Jong, Curtiss and Petit on their way up.
  21. jimmer
    how much better? :-)
  22. jimmer
    Twins announcers are saying that because the Twins had to play an extra game in 2008 and 2009 to determine who went to the playoffs, MLB decided to make the one game playoff between the #1 and #2 Wild Card teams that made the playoffs.

    Being the absolute POS he is... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/giuliani-trump-legal-team-may-try-to-block-mueller-from-releasing-final-report/ar-BBMPyEm

    ah Gibson....
  25. jimmer
    Brewers have average pitching in the NL and they lead the wild card race. They MAY not make the playoffs, but I'm not sure I'd count them out.
