Don't get me started on the travesty BIG POTATO CHIP gets away with on a daily basis... Filling half the bag with potato chips and the rest... safety air to prevent chips from breaking?

Have you noticed at grocery stores brands feel the need to tout their organic credibility? "Simply Mayo" - that's right, it's just Mayo! "Just Tomato Sauce" - nothing more, nothing less!

This would be a terrible idea for 25 teams in the league. If the goal is for NY, LA, Boston, and Chicago to hoard all of the amateur talent go ahead.

I couldn't agree more about home runs no longer being special. I think the MLB has the wrong strategy for trying to acquire a new audience... It's clear baseball wants more offense, more home runs, and more strikeouts to cater to the 15 second highlight watchers. I don't think this is doing anything positive to catch young kids' attention to the sport, and driving away some who enjoy the strategy of the game. Like you I enjoy the in betweens the game has to offer. Hit and runs, double steals, sacrifices to advance runners. All of that is being thrown out the window because they determined statistically it's better to swing for the fences every time. More home runs isn't getting more butts in seats at the ballpark. Competitive balance in the league and winning accomplishes that. Has Oakland seen a surge in attendance because they've hit 145 home runs? Doubtful. I think this issue would gain more traction if another all time great hitter like Albert Pujols said, "You know, it used to be way more difficult to hit these baseballs out when I was 22. I shouldn't be able to hit a pop up at 39 and have it go over the fence."

I concur with Mr. Verlander. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27149029/verlander-mlb-juicing-balls-more-offense

I've been kind of following the juiced baseball saga this season. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/32944-juiced-baseball-update/ Baseball's following the trend in the other major sports... Where they feel more offense is good for the game. Even though our favorite team has been leading the way in HRs, I agree it gets redundant.

Week in Review: Breaking Even
Vanimal46 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Sano has looked MUCH much much much better lately. It's amazing how cutting down on strikeouts allows him to put the ball in play more often. I don't expect him to maintain a 15% K-rate. Nor do I expect him to climb back into the 50% rate either. If he can continue this trend and lower his overall rate to 30%, that will be huge.- 39 replies

Are Fans Focusing on the Wrong Pitching Unit to Improve?
Vanimal46 replied to Vanimal46's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I'd be curious to know the cost difference between a late inning reliever and a starter we could label as #3 or higher? It may not be that much more to go for the starter. -
Perhaps we should consider adding a starting pitcher if the splits tell us anything over the last 28 games. There's room to improve both areas on the pitching staff... To my surprise, the bullpen continues to hold their own, including a couple of gutty outings in the 17/18 inning games.

Congrats on the new partnership Twins Daily team! It's exciting to see this website develop into a reputable organization recognized by the Twins over the years. Not that it hasn't been reputable this whole time, but you know what I mean...

Stranger Things season 3 gets off to a slooooow start IMO. Hoping it gets better after the first 2 episodes.

30 HRs is the new 20 HRs of the past. After this year I think we're all going to yawn over those numbers... Don't forget over half of the teams in baseball are on track to set a franchise record in HRs.

Team needs a boost... Hopefully through trades.

I consider anyone wearing masks and hoodies to cover their identities and assaulting people in public with crow bars to be evil... To each their own. We're just talking around each other now so we can move on.

I believe his full name is Willjasitch Garvstrodillo.

The only thing I want equal in this is news/media coverage and acknowledgement from our leaders. Extremes on both sides are evil and only causing a divide with a majority who sits in the middle. I'm not a conspiracy theorist here, but I do see why some Republicans believe the media is biased when examples like this pop up.

Polanco's consistency and contact skills keeps this offense clicking on all cylinders. He has my vote.

If movies and video games have taught us anything, this doesn't end well...

Cool. If you pick the left side violence is okay. Carole, you said multiple times you don't condone the violence, then write multiple sentences after justifying their position. It should be very simple. Violence at protests are bad, should be called out, and eliminated. Full stop.
