    Um ... yeah ... no. The world may think the Twins are suckers, but they don't have to play along.

    Don't want Buck doing it . . . he'll get hurt.

    Bottom line, 2 runs isn't enough. The pitching has been bad, the relievers have been bad, the lineup has been bad, Rocco's managed himself into some horrible situations (that infield alignment in Oakland with a lead in extra innings would be "Exhibit A" at the trial) . . . . This team is doing next to nothing right beyond showing up for the games on time.

    Well ... there's hockey.
  5. BD57
    This is painful. Get spotted 3 runs and immediately hand them all back.

    That makes him a "pup" compared to where Thome was at the end of his career (10,300+ PA).

    I've long believed no team is as good as it looks when it's winning, or as bad as it looks when it's losing. This bunch is proving the last half of that "saying" a lie.
  8. BD57
    this is unwatchable.

    hitting batters, walking batters . . . . pitching staff was its own worst enemy, and the defense did nothing to pick them up. Of course, our infield in the 10th consisted of '4 guys playing out of position'
  10. BD57
    enough.
  11. BD57
    I repeat ... this team is soooo hard to watch
  12. BD57
    thank you, Buck!

    this new extra inning rule works like the college football overtime rule. Home team / whoever goes 2nd has a HUGE advantage.
  14. BD57
    how many guys that we hit / walk come around to score? Seems like all of them.
  15. BD57
    oh. joy. Extra innings. I'm sorry ... "extra inning".
  16. BD57
    this team is so frustrating to watch right now

    The offense is obviously a problem. 3 runs in 2 games? 5 in 3 games? Granted, the Red Sox have been playing better, but still - that's bad. But . . . . Berrios is supposed to be a #1, and yet, when presented with the situation where a true #1 slams the door, he spit the bit; the game unraveled because he lit the fuse. There's no indication this team has the heart to "win something meaningful." I'd love to be surprised, and I'll gladly - eagerly, even - eat crow if they prove me wrong.

    Perhaps a partisan posting on a message board isn't a good source for "objective" information either. And quoting the New York Times? Why don't you just quote Biden?

    Umm .... they don't allow people affiliated with campaigns to give out food & water. They do allow campaigns to give food & water to poll workers, who can distribute it. Geez, the ignorance of some people.
  20. BD57
    good luck on "concessions from the Governor."
  21. BD57
    Whose scribblings won't be there any more?
  22. BD57
    I think that could fly, if the team can sell the idea that they're not making the change "at the point of a public relations gun." People don't like being told what to do, or being told that they're "bad people' if they don't agree with a particular opinion. Put another way ... people don't like busybodies and/or scolds.
  23. BD57
    Manfred should benefit from comparisons with Adam Silver, and, perhaps, Roger Goodell. Thus far, it appears the NHL has done the best job of managing its situation - hard to believe that could happen with Donald Fehr representing the players, but it seems to be true.

    It's amazing that anyone is willing to allow their day to be disturbed by the nickname of a sports team.
  25. BD57
    I have no problem with keeping him. IMO, the declining production at the end of the season is as much attributable to the rest of the lineup stinking out loud as anything else. Whether it's pitchers giving him nothing to hit, or him trying to carry the team because no one else is hitting (and swinging at pitches he's ordinarily take), the fact of the matter is, NO ONE was hitting at the end of the year. The lack of offense is an issue. There are a lot of other guys - Kepler, Garver, Sano, to name a few - who have more to answer for on that front than Cruz. And then there's Donaldson & Buxton - neither one of them are of any use to us if they can't stay on the field. I'll entertain the notion that Donaldson had "bad luck" . . . mostly because he's "new to us," not because his missing time is "new." With Buck, though ... we're past "bad luck." This has happened too many times. Why he's "brittle," I don't know, but he is. I know that the moment we trade him, he'll never miss a day the rest of his career . . . but it's maddening to spend so much time talking about "What we could be with a healthy Buxton."
