  1. Polanco thanked his lucky stars he got knicked by that 0-2 pitch. He picked his foot up to just to get knicked by the pitch
  2. It’s a shame because when he connects, he sends baseballs to outer space. Evidently the margin in his swing from .900+ OPS monster to unplayable is razor thin.
  3. Trevor May shares some interesting stuff about playing in the league on his YouTube channel. I like that too
  4. You’re correct he was still alive. Just googled it. I thought he died early with all of the cigs he smoked in those days
  5. Would anyone have guessed Trevor Plouffe would have the post playing career glow up like he’s had? He’s been thriving with Jomboy media doing podcasts and other videos on YouTube. And parlayed that into a broadcasting career
  6. Remember the hitchhiker episode in the 1st season? Big fan of that one
  7. That’s a good one. Nightmare at 20,000 feet. I think Rod Serling passed away by that point?
  8. Yes. What’s your favorite Twilight Zone episode? That was my go to series on Amazon Prime before it was sent to Paramount Plus 👎
  9. Mutual option which doesn’t usually convert. I’m definitely open to signing him for 2-3 years. He’s the perfect 4th OF on a contender
  10. You’re a red blooded man. It worked on all of us
  11. Bader hustle play. I want to keep him around as the energy guy
  12. I mean, Ober and Ryan have been rock solid for 2.5 years. Ober has to be injured more than he’s leading on. Paddack I had a feeling was going to crash down to a 5 ERA pitcher again. SWR was quite serviceable last year. I don’t understand it.
  13. How does an entire pitching staff collapse like this?
  14. Followed closely behind with “best bullpen in baseball” the last 2 years. The next article critiquing Falvey will be the first on TD. We can find plenty of articles gushing about how amazing of a job he’s doing. Cody Christie’s article a few weeks ago about the minor league pitching program will make the pitching pipeline ™️ a distant memory. We won’t develop a single starter in the first 3 years of their MLB career because they were capped at low innings pitched each outing. They’ll spend time ramping up to 5 innings with a quick hook, or saddled with openers.
  15. Twins’ ranking in average sprint speed in the Falvey era 2017 - 5th 2018 - 16th 2019 - 23rd 2020 - 23rd 2021 - 26th 2022 - 19th 2023 - 22nd 2024 - 29th 2025 - 30th Our eyes aren’t deceiving us. No wonder why the last 2 seasons are the most boring baseball I’ve ever watched from the Twins.
  16. I don’t think Falvey will pick either one of your paths laid out and stay the course. They’ll make trades if they have an immediate replacement in AAA. So to break it down… Castro - Should be traded if he isn’t signing another contract here. Keaschall or Martin is ready to take over at 2B or LF. Bader - We don’t have anyone who can fill in at CF and play even mediocre defense. He should stay and potentially discuss an extension. Coloumbe - 95% chance he’s traded. Left handed and breathing is valuable and his contract fits anyone’s budget. Funderburk or Prielipp takes over. Paddack - I would trade if the opportunity presents itself. Maybe Miranda and Julien are change of scenery trade candidates in July. But my guess is that’s an offseason discussion.
  17. Same my friend. If we have to endure another offseason with the Pohlads that will be time to put my fandom on pause.
  18. Pretty obvious from his first appearance with us. But hey, I’m not a pitching program expert like Derek Falvey.
  19. Then they’re the dumbest business people on the planet. The relationship between them and the fanbase is irreconcilable
  20. If I’m wrong then the Twins country club is alive and thriving under Joe Pohlad.
