Through episode 8 and now I'm catching myself swearing at the TV....
-
Scott Kazmir signs with the Los Angeles Dodgers... 3 years, $48 million
-
Felt the same way every time Len had on his weasel smile during the press conferences. He just has a face that you want to punch....
-
Len Krachinsky is a weasel. I felt bad for the kid that he was stuck with him. He had no intention of fighting for him and was in way over his head for a case like this.
-
Through episode 5 as of last night. Steven Avery has a brilliant defense team. If I were in that spot I'd hire them no question.
-
The MLB did not think domestic assault was a big deal for years until they implemented a new rule in August of this year. Now Manfried has the power to suspend players for this kind of behavior. He has 2 cases in front of him, Chapman and Jose Reyes. Nothing yet on their discipline going into next season. Here's a list of all the MLB players that the league itself has issued suspensions for in the last 125 years: - - -
-
It's taken all of the restraint I have to not Google anything about these people until I'm done watching the series... But until I'm finished, I'm wishing most of these prosecutors and Manitowoc Police Department are no longer in their professions.
-
What do you think was the biggest factor in not pursuing Chapman? The latest allegations probably played a factor, but he also has no official charges from that incident. I think the more important reason is the Twins did not want to pay him $10 million and $12.5 million next year to retain him.
-
The fact that they have found a way to put bacon into everything IMO is one of the greatest accomplishments we've made in recent memory! I like crispy bacon, but there is such a thing as too crispy. I love that perfect in between of crispy outsides, and a little chewy inside. Turkey bacon's not half bad either!
-
No reason why the Twins couldn't match that offer, especially when they have a past relationship with the Reds making deals. I don't know who's going to start for the Yankees, but now they're loaded with the 3 highest k/9 relievers in the game from last year.
-
Leidner waits until the bowl game to have his best game of the season, maybe his career. I'd still like for Croft or Green to win the job next year. Who knows, maybe Claeys or Weber the QB coach can help him progress further than Limegrove or Kill ever did.
-
Believe me, it gets worse diehard. Not a series that you can binge watch. 1 episode a day is my max without having a heart attack.
-
Chapman's value plummeted after his little altercation this offseason. Wish the Twins could have thrown their hat in that negotiation.
-
Hard pass on trading Gibson, unless the offer is too good to pass up. And unfortunately Arizona doesn't have much left to trade from their farm.....
-
You're correct I read that article in the USA Today this morning, so I figured I'd throw it out there on this site to gauge other people's interest in him.
-
Ah gotcha, thanks for the clarification. Wasn't sure since he's a Cuban defect if he forgoes being an international signing, thus getting more money like Puig and Tomas.
-
That's good to hear. Do you have any insight or gut feel on what he would get for a contract? Anywhere in the ballpark of Yasmany Tomas (6-68) or Yasiel Puig (7-42)?
-
What are the odds that the Twins could get involved to sign this 16 year old kid from Cuba? He'll be showing off his talents on Jan. 8th at the Padres complex in Cristobal, DR. The MLB will make a decision by the end of January whether to let him sign or make him wait until the next signing period in July. He's already 6-2 205, projected to be a corner OF, and drawing comparisons to Willie Mays and Bo Jackson with his combination of size and speed.
-
Daniel Murphy stays in the NL East, signing with the Washington Nationals for 3 years, $37.5 million. Thought he would get more than that after his red hot playoffs.
-
Holy cow, 2 episodes in and this series is more infuriating than I thought... If you want to be disappointed with the criminal system and humanity in general, then watch it.
-
Similar documentary style of The Jinx on HBO. If you enjoyed that series, I'd recommend watching this as well.
-
Currently 1 episode in so far, and color me intrigued. Anyone else watching this show on Netflix?

I'm not sure exactly how my family got this opportunity as I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time. We were able to get a full tour of the Metrodome, checking out the locker rooms, the bullpen, dugout... I'm sure my mother has a picture of myself and my older brother on the bullpen phone. The best part was after the tour, we went into a room to have a private meeting with Kirby Puckett. Keep in mind my age at the time, but my memory was he treated us like we were life long friends. He was cracking jokes, and willing to sign anything that was presented. He must have signed around 40 items, including several baseball cards, bats, and magazines he was featured on. My favorite item he signed, and is still framed proudly in my bedroom today, is an authentic Kirby Puckett jersey. He signed the jersey and put a personal note to me as well during his time when we met. It's a conversation piece that everyone brings up when they see the framed jersey in my place to today.

Let's Stop Discounting Tommy Milone
Vanimal46 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I'd much rather see Milone traded to another team, and let the upside of May play out in the rotation. We know what Milone is, a back of the rotation starter. And if the Twins were to make the playoffs, he's not going to be included in the playoff rotation. As Nick mentioned, he doesn't offer much as a relief pitcher, so what are the Twins going to do with him if they were to make the playoffs in 2016? The title of this article is "Let's stop discounting Milone" but why are we discounting May's SSS of 25 starts? -
Sucks for Pinto. Doesn't sound like the Padres are treating him in good faith considering he was an early selection in waivers. San Diego is set at catcher and I'm sure he'd rather be anywhere else to get a shot to play in the majors.
