    Just thrilled we gave Vargas and Montgomery their 30th HRs on the season tonight
  2. Vanimal46
    Correct. I was a goalie in hockey and the hip injury I share with Buxton and others here like @bjorksand @Hambino the Great shut me down for high school athletics my junior year. When I saw Buxton fail to attempt fielding the ground ball I knew the hip locked up on him and he felt the knife piecing pain.
  3. Vanimal46
    This is objective?
  4. Vanimal46
    Hardly objective. You’re ripping management and think Buxton is above management and medical professionals.
  5. Vanimal46
    Buxton has said he’s not coming back unless he thinks he can help the team positively so idk why you’re bashing him tonight.
  6. Vanimal46
    Or the doctors that say if you can take the pain go for it because the surgery is gonna be pretty much the same regardless.
  7. Vanimal46
    Yep. I’ve had the same hip injury he does. The cartilage isn’t gonna tear any more than it is. If he can power thru the pain before the offseason kudos to Buxton.
  8. Vanimal46
    They should have consulted you instead of team doctors. What were they thinking?
  9. Vanimal46
    That means he’s not going to cause any more damage to his hip so they’re leaving it up to him for pain tolerance
  10. Vanimal46
    You’re kidding. They decided to commit to young prospects? I can’t imagine what that’s like.
  11. Vanimal46
    We only have to worry about him when he’s playing at Target Field
  12. Vanimal46
    The White Sox went from historically bad 2 years ago to leading the division now. They must have filled their roster with mediocre veterans like Josh Bell and Tristan Gray right?
  13. Vanimal46
    That’s gone
  14. Vanimal46
    That’s pretty close to the realignment I do in Out of the Park baseball when I expand to 32 teams. If there’s push back having both Chicago teams and New York teams in the same division, I would swap the White Sox with Cincinnati, and the Mets/Phillies with Washington and Baltimore. That way the long standing rivalries remain in tact with NYM/PHI, NYY/BOS, STL/CHI
  15. Vanimal46
    Out of curiosity I looked at the standings the previous 3 seasons and the 8 seed for both leagues are either 81 or 82 wins. I would hate to water down the playoffs any more than they already have. The NBA is the worst offender for watered down playoffs and it’s made the regular season worthless to pay attention to.
  16. Vanimal46
    That doesn’t really solve the issue of long time mediocre divisions like the AL Central. Just to play along who do you think gets moved out of the division?
  17. Vanimal46
    If the Twins wanted to truly take advantage of a vulnerable AL, they would have made those modest trades they made AND call up Jenkins + E-Rod ASAP. It’s not a huge stretch of imagination to think Jenkins would have held his own in MLB all throughout August.
  18. Vanimal46
    There will be a bump in attendance for the last remaining home games. Gleeman and Bonnes discussed that in a recent podcast that even last year when the team was dead in the water since July 31, attendance was around 25-30k for the final regular season home games
  19. Vanimal46
    It should be 1 team in the southeast, and somewhere in mountain or pacific time zone to balance the league. Nashville or Charlotte/Raleigh for the SE team. Salt Lake City or Vancouver is my guess for the west city. Then a good shake up with realignment. I would rather see 4 divisions of 8 teams vs 8 divisions of 4 teams. And please get the Twins and Brewers in the same division!
  20. Vanimal46
    Idk I would think they wait to debut a brand new team along with their brand new stadium.
  21. Vanimal46
    Yeah I realize he's not the same. It's the irrational fan in me hoping he didn't just walk away quietly without an official announcement. He's been one of my favorite Vikings players since we drafted him. Ideally, Jay Ward is ready to move into a starting "traditional safety" role along with Theo Jackson... That way Metellus can go back to his hybrid role where he performs much better IMO.
  22. Vanimal46
    My biggest concerns heading into week 1 is Center and the DL. Genuinely shocked we did not pursue a better option at center than Brandel. On the DL, I don't think Banks or Big Citrus will be plug and play immediately type of players. That puts a lot of pressure on Redmond being the star of that position group. LDR and Ingram-Dawkins both have to step up in their new roles. Edit: Safety doesn't look great either, but I still believe Harry the Hitman will be back soon.
  23. Vanimal46
    Yeah I would say so. Get the new CBA squared away, announce the 2 new teams then another 3-4 years until their new ballparks are built. I'm not sure MLB would want their brand new expansion teams playing in AAA stadiums if theoretically the new teams are in Nashville, Charlotte, or Salt Lake City.
  24. Vanimal46
    Only 9 home games left… I am feeling the urgency to attend at least 1 more game at TF before a long offseason awaits us.
  25. Vanimal46
    Forbes said in their new ownership article that Kroenke also plans to build a new $2.5 billion stadium. I believe the Rams stadium in LA was privately funded by Kroenke... I'm insanely jealous of Angels fans. They get a new lease on life!
