    1A Ownership - This organization has no direction, no vision. Just hoping that someone offers them a golden parachute to get out of their massive debt and escape the public eye forever. 1B Front Office - They’ve had 2 offseasons to pivot after getting the rug pulled from them by the Pohlads. They’ve done the bare minimum in the offseason and trade deadlines ever since. Falvey continues doubling down on this core of players, even though we are the slowest team in baseball, one of the poorest fielding teams in baseball, and prone to long offensive slumps. Oh, and they quietly pick up Rocco’s contract for another year. 2 Manager/Coaches - How can the players take things seriously when the same manager and 80% of the coaches remain the same after an epic collapse? 3 Players - Correa, Wallner, and Lewis have been extremely disappointing with high expectations in preseason. Miranda and Julien crashing and burning. Our depth was vapor thin and were relying too heavily on marginal talent.

    Yes Absolutely yes. Last year proved the core of this team is not good enough and Rocco should have been fired after an epic collapse in September.

    Hard to turn down a 5 run victory yesterday /s. We got 1 in LA which is what the spreadsheet told us is an acceptable outcome
  4. Vanimal46
    Nothing wrong with setting a high standard on the trade return. We will see how desperate contending teams get in the next week. If no one meets the asking price, oh well. We get to keep an elite reliever on the team.
  5. Vanimal46
    Pretty easy to see why the Dodgers are calling around for bullpen help. So many uncompetitive pitches thrown last night.
  6. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t even call that a mistake pitch. That was just silly from the best player in the world
  7. Vanimal46
    No one else besides Ohtani barrels up that pitch. Oh well.
  8. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t that be something if Duran and Rushing switched jerseys in a week? Don’t recommend it, but at least we know he’s batting 1.000 against him
  9. Vanimal46
    No doubt Vázquez can call a better game
  10. Vanimal46
    Big games for a couple of guys who has been in the crosshairs from the TD crowd. Vázquez and France have a day gentleman
  11. Vanimal46
    Idk who any of these Dodgers relievers are since the 6th inning and they’re all brutal
  12. Vanimal46
    Hell yeah! 7 pitch inning affords him plenty of room to finish the 6 out save
  13. Vanimal46
    2 inning outing for Duran?
  14. Vanimal46
    Yikes. 30 year old never was journeyman. Looks like a Wentz repeat to me. Might as well give Prielipp a try
  15. Vanimal46
    You took the time to spell it out and I know autocorrect would butcher that big time
  16. Vanimal46
    Who is this guy pitching the 8th inning for us?
  17. Vanimal46
    You know, I can see why the Dodgers are calling around for bullpen help. Tons of non competitive pitches and costly errors
  18. Vanimal46
    Sorry, should have read the thread first before pushing submit.
  19. Vanimal46
    Yeah, it’s hard to imagine a team like the Yankees bailing us out of that contract like they did with Josh Donaldson… A perfect storm of circumstances is needed indeed. The only thing we can hope for is him bouncing back to being an .800 OPS player.
  20. Vanimal46
    Not gonna get out of that deal without paying off most of his remaining contract. Ouch.
  21. Vanimal46
    This is where I differ from you. We’re seeing more pitchers maintain their elite velocity throughout their career, a la Aroldis Chapman, Zach Wheeler, Justin Verlander, etc. We worry about a future arm injury but he’s gone unscathed so far in his MLB career. Duran’s velocity is his natural ability. Whereas Jax had to work extremely hard to go from a 91 MPH sinker ball prospect to what he is today. That’s why I prefer keeping Duran and trading Jax.
  22. Vanimal46
    Selling the expiring contract players is a no brainer. I don’t see a Joe Ryan trade on the horizon unless he’s pushing for it behind closed doors. I’d also prefer trading Jax over Duran.
  23. Vanimal46
    Don’t have any confidence they’re scoring more than 3 runs tonight so I’m tapping out. Have a good night y’all.
  24. Vanimal46
    I feel like even today Dustin May is someone Falvey wants to acquire.
  25. Vanimal46
    Especially this year when everything is clicking on all cylinders. All I hope for and everyone else included is him playing at this caliber for the whole season
