    Could be, but I wouldn't bet on Kirilloff or Rooker being as good as Cruz will be in March-June. Nothing wrong with waiting until a prospect forces their way into the lineup a la Arraez last year. If one of those players, or someone else mashes the ball and continues to mash in the MLB, then the Twins have a fantastic problem on their hands. We always seem to want to clear a highway for prospects to make the majors, and if past history tells us anything, it's a bad idea.

    If every pro scout steals signs, I'm curious why the Astros set up and broke down this particular TV monitor before and after games?

    Hell of a game!

    Crazy comeback! This defense keeps bending, and bending. Gotta get off the field...

    You say that... Just like the Buffalo game last year Zimmer is caught sleeping at the wheel.
  8. Vanimal46
    They're all expected to set up cameras for the specific reason of stealing signs?

    The Cinderella run to the final 4 playoffs may be over... But there's still a lot to play for. I'd love to see them play in the B1G championship game.

    DURING the 2017 playoffs an executive sent an email(!!) asking scouts to help steal signs.

    I had Vue for a long time... RIP. I took advantage of NFL Network Red Zone channel being available and miss having it on Sundays.

    DirecTV Now raised their monthly subscription rate from $50 to $65 a couple of months ago. YouTube TV is the winner right now for cable subscriptions.
  13. Vanimal46
    Similar strategy here. Currently it's YouTube TV for the "traditional" cable, Prime (I would drop Prime video if it didn't come included in the shipping benefits), and Netflix.

    You don't think they had a system on the road? https://twitter.com/trevorplouffe/status/1195064380620066817?s=19

    I'm very conscious about the streaming platforms I pay for and rotate quite a bit over the year. The reason I cut the cord in the first place many years ago was to have a cheaper alternative to cable. Now if you're not careful you can end up spending $100+ a month for streaming alone! Netflix $12 Showtime $11 Hulu (no ads) $13 HBO Now $15 Amazon Prime $9 Disney + $7 ESPN + $7 Apple TV $5 All of it adds up quickly... I'm sure I'm forgetting some services on the list.

    Ahem, that's former Minnesota Twin Tyler Austin, Mr. Passan! Good luck to him. Now he'll get the 500+ PAs to satisfy the curiosity of fans.
  17. Vanimal46
    I hope we're past having a $110 million payroll. We both know there's plenty of money in baseball...
  18. Vanimal46
    Win win all around! Hard not to love this development.
  19. Vanimal46
    Wow. Big money for Will Smith.
  20. Vanimal46
    Who cares if he's a little overpaid for 2020? I'd rather pay $3-4 million extra for one year than $15 million in dead money 3-4 years from now. If he pitches just as well in 2020 there's nothing stopping the Twins from offering another contract.
  21. Vanimal46
    I posted in another thread I'm interested in Hamels if he's willing to do a Nelson Cruz like contract. 1 year + option year at a lower rate than the first year. At the very worst he could be cut if prospects show they're ready for prime time.
  22. Vanimal46
    Odorizzi accepting a QO is a win all around. For Odorizzi, he can continue to pad his stats against a weak AL Central and raise his market floor for next season. For the Twins they pay a slight premium for financial flexibility in future years. And worst case, if the season goes pear shaped Falvine can do a mini tear down and trade his expiring contract for moar prospects.
  23. Vanimal46
    The fact that the Astros are doing an internal investigation is laughable... Hopefully Manfred drops a hammer on them with significant fines, loss of draft picks and IFA pool money.
  24. Vanimal46
    The amount of grassroots marketing for this streaming service is nuts. They're using their powerful subsidiaries like ESPN personalities pumping it up any chance they get.
  25. Vanimal46
    Yep. We've seen so many lean years of Gopher football. This year has been a blast to watch. I was a little skeptical of PJ Fleck's schtick at the beginning, but he is the real deal.
