    The Romero news sucks.

    Falvine already spoke to this and said he's sticking around? I'm quickly running out of patience with this regime if that's the case.
  3. Vanimal46
    I don't know anything about his fielding ability, but when healthy the dude can mash the ball.

    Arraez is a name I keep reading. Before his unfortunate season ending injury last year he was on the top ~20 prospect lists for the organization. Is he rising up your personal list Seth/Tom?

    Captain Obvious statement: Belisle needs to go.

    Losing 15 lbs in ~2 months is quite the task. Unless they hired Jillian Michaels to put him through a Biggest Loser program that may be too aggressive of an ask.

    I don't think it's a coincidence that the offense looks better with Mauer back in the lineup... There's something to be said about having a seasoned pro lead off, make contact and get on base. He's more than a defensive asset Ted!

    I'm curious what you and others think what criteria is considered to be a top 10 manager? It's tough for me to define how good a manager is. I believe there are some that are better than others like Francona. Does it boil down to intangibles that we as fans can't see and measure?

    Great read, thanks! I agree something needs to be done to get out of the three true outcomes era. If moving back the pitching rubber is the answer I'm all for it. I just don't see me enjoying baseball long term the way the game is heading right now. Like you said, it takes too long to reach 2 of the 3 outcomes. I'm also bothered by everyone swinging out of their shoes to hit 700 ft HRs instead of simply putting the ball in play.

    And there will be a ton of sellers. 10 teams are clear sellers right now with a few more bubble teams like NYM, and whoever decides to sell in the NL West. Seems like most "Top players on the trade block" lists are full of RP too.

    If he keeps hitting like this, have no fear... He won't hit the goal he needs to achieve to get the vesting option. Once Sano is done with his intervention I'm guessing he'll be the primary 1B/DH going forward
  12. Vanimal46
    So does everyone else not named Ed, Joe, and Ehire...
  13. Vanimal46
    Isn't Erv still shut down from his last rehab appearance? Did I miss news about him?
  14. Vanimal46
    Apathy is setting in for this team. Hard to get worked up anymore when this is what they do week in and week out. They gave Morrison 2.5 months to figure it out and he's still playing bad. It's time to get rid of him. Kepler's struggles against RH pitching is something no one wants to talk about. They don't have 9 MLB-ready replacements on the farm. I guess just let him try to hit through the slump.

    "We had chances" describes the whole season thus far. Another game that was there for the taking and they blow it.
  16. Vanimal46
    Nah. I think it's safe to say Cleveland isn't that good though.
  17. Vanimal46
    It's all kind of arbitrary and silly, no? Why don't we count warm up pitches toward their pitch count between innings? Or pitches in the bullpen before the game?
  18. Vanimal46
    Agreed. It sounds like an intervention to get his life and career back on track. People in the past have posted "Why don't the Twins hire a nutritionist/personal trainer for Sano?" Well, they got their wish. He'll probably stay near the facility, get all of his meals prepared by someone else there, and get back to the basics.

    Star Tribune video interview with Falvey: http://video.startribune.com/falvey-explains-rationale-for-sano-move/485601401/
  20. Vanimal46
    Ahh yep... Didn't read until the end of the post and it said that he passed the threshold. Carry on!
  21. Vanimal46
    Interesting note I read... Miguel Sano has 77 days remaining before he surpasses 3 years of service time... He could be a minimum salary player again next season depending on how long the demotion lasts. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/06/twins-option-miguel-sano.html

    Oh boy. They can get in line behind BAL, TOR, TEX, CWS, DET, KC, NYM, MIA, PIT, CIN, OAK, and name anyone in the NL West who decides to give up too.
  23. Vanimal46
    Obviously these things happen over the years, like Knoblauch losing all ability to throw the baseball. It's still fascinating and frustrating how someone can have a mechanical breakdown like this. How does this happen?
  24. Vanimal46
    What was your favorite "Buxton/Sano Era" moment?
  25. Vanimal46
    Yep. Multiple reporters posted the same thing. Good. He's been flat out embarrassing the entire season.
