    The defense bailing us out time and time again!
  2. Vanimal46
    Even Darnold’s dump off passes requires a higher degree difficulty reception.
  3. Vanimal46
    These passes are wildly inaccurate from Darnold. Get him off the field right now
  4. Vanimal46
    Bench Darnold this is F’ing ridiculous
  5. Vanimal46
    The only way to describe this first half is gross.
  6. Vanimal46
    Darnold come on man
  7. Vanimal46
    Rough start for the good guys
  8. Vanimal46
    Lots of miscues on this drive for the defense
  9. Vanimal46
    Tank Bigsby down for Jacksonville and there goes their run game.
  10. Vanimal46
    New kicker and long snapper looked fine there
  11. Vanimal46
    Stay hot Josh Oliver
  12. Vanimal46
    Jaguars jerseys are bad ass today. 3 and out good start for the Flores D

    Well sure, any of our ideas can blow up. We don't know who's available via trade without some smoke from insiders. I'm heading into the offseason thinking Falvey has no choice but to prepare this organization for a sale. Doesn't matter if it's a private or public business, they all do the same things. One includes beefing up the balance sheet so the prospective buyer believes it's a profitable opportunity. If we hold all of our players, I don't think Falvey has even $5 million additional to work with this winter,

    I’m with you. Payroll was going to be at this level or lower regardless with the attendance and TV contract where it is. The new ownership group just might be big spenders but they’re going to want to make their own decisions. Correa and Lopez are big financial commitments that they didn’t make.
  15. Vanimal46
    Agreed. The Lopez and Correa contracts worked under different circumstances when the Pohlads beefed up the payroll closer to $160 million. Now things have changed. Unless we unload one of Correa, Lopez, or Buxton we aren’t spending more than $2 million on a FA contract.

    As you’ve posted about several times this offseason it’s going to take 2 or 3 separate trades to shake up the current roster build… The answer to your question is probably not in the Correa trade, but later in the offseason.
  17. Vanimal46
    The only reason we’re having this conversation at all is because the team is up for sale. Moves made this offseason won’t be about roster construction. It will be about cleaning up financials for the new ownership group.
  18. Vanimal46
    It’s as close to 0% as mathematically possible Sasaki signs with the Twins.
  19. Vanimal46
    That’s essentially the problem this offseason. The baseline of talent is decent enough to win 82 games, but I have no faith that the Twins will spend any money this offseason to boost their current baseline. So we might be stuck with another mediocre mid 80s win team.
  20. Vanimal46
    Sad but true. Lopez is the only one that satisfies both sides… Shedding salary and getting the best return in a trade. I think shopping Lopez to Baltimore makes a lot of sense, personally. Their farm system is still loaded and their window of contention is right now.
  21. Vanimal46
    This win should be easy enough to throw in the backups for most of the 4th quarter. The Jags have long given up on their coach and the season.
  22. Vanimal46
    3 missed face mask calls in 1 play! Once again there’s no consistency or accountability with the refs.
  23. Vanimal46
    Last year Sonny Gray still averaged less than 6 innings per start with an ERA increase from 2.79 to 3.84 last year. He went from 5.4 bWAR to 1.8. The Twins clearly got the best performance out of Gray.
  24. Vanimal46
    Wow, that is a lot of information to sift through. I’m sure this took a lot of time to research and write, so kudos to the author. For those that continued watching the playoffs, we saw other teams utilize the same strategies Rocco used all season. He’s one of about 25 managers that can be described as “alright”. Tito Francona is always brought up as the gold standard when people demand a new manager. I guess we will see if he brings that same magic to Cincinnati.
  25. Vanimal46
    The trade deadline has improved tenfold compared to 10 years ago but there’s still much to be desired. Besides Lattimore it was trades for rotational guys, not difference makers. I’m not sure Lattimore is still a difference maker either.
