    This should be a giant red flag that something isn't right with the baseballs.

    Meh, I don't get caught up in the daily aspect of this team anymore. They're still 7 games over .500 at the end of April and banked a few wins this month.

    Gerrit Cole is a very good pitcher. Still makes me sad the Twins didn't aggressively pursue him at the time.
  4. Vanimal46
    Sure, it's one game.
  5. Vanimal46
    I think he's just broken now.

    I would ask who is actually voting on the polls? Biden gets the bump because he's the "proven closer" and name everyone knows. There's plenty of time for one of the young charasmatic candidates to win.

    I like this tangent... Falvine: "Siri, call Billy Beane." Siri: "Okay, here are places to drink Jim Beam." Falvine: sigh...

    Odorizzi is so hot right now.

    Romero would be a welcomed addition if he can figure out what to do in the bullpen... I'm not sure they will start Graterol's service time clock yet but I like the thought. I'd like to start with adding an established MLB bullpen arm who can handle high leverage spots

    IMO they're in a perfect position to play with the margins a little bit. Try acquiring a reliever who may get you another .5 WAR over an internal candidate. Or make a big splash for a MadBum or Thor before the bidding war begins. The end goal should be to find/acquire another win or 2 over the course of this season.

    Could also be too much content being generated at once... In the past there were articles about a certain topic that percolated over a couple of weeks and generated several pages of comments. Now it's tough to keep up with all of the new content published on the site... I used to post a ton on game threads before, and fully accept the current state of that part of the site. A lot of the people who made game threads fun in the past are no longer around, and it's probably not possible to recreate that atmosphere anymore.

    Someone mentioned in another thread that the Twins have 53 games remaining against KC, Detroit, and the White Sox... The schedule is going to remain fairly easy given the state of the AL Central. I agree it's definitely not the Twins style to bolster the MLB team during the season. It was the biggest gripe I had with the mid-2000s Twins teams. I hope the new regime realizes the opportunity they're in this year (weak division foes, big market clubs already having injury issues) and takes advantage.

    https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/1123217452521758721?s=19 With a couple of savvy pitching transactions they could move the needle to 90+ wins.

    Math is hard early in the morning!

    The Twins are going to end April either 7 or 8 games above .500... It's been a long time since we could say that. Is this the best stretch of baseball they've played since going 20-7 in May 2015? Back in that season very few actually believed the Twins were that good, they didn't take advantage of the banked wins, and skidded to an 83 win season. I am hoping this year is different, and they take advantage of a hot start... Make an early, aggressive trade for pitching help. Find that elusive starter to transform this team from a cute story to a contender. This is the year to go for it!

    If there was any point in the show to highlight fantasy elements, last night was it... I mean, they're already fighting a freaking army of dead people, led by a king who's been dead for thousands of years. Ironically it's almost more unrealistic to think a dozen main characters could fight off thousands of dead soldiers without the use of magic.
  17. Vanimal46
    The Vikings have never had a great TE. Rudolph is probably the best we've had over the last 20 years, and we all know his flaws. I think the perception of the position would change dramatically if we had a TE on roster who could stretch the field, break tackles, and run after the catch like Gronk/Kittle/Ertz. One thing to note: New England didn't address TE in the draft or FA. Perhaps the window is still open to trade Rudolph there.
  18. Vanimal46
    I agree that they're lacking, and frankly ignoring a lot of the fantasy aspects of the show. It was never really explained why Bran's power is important to anyone else besides him. Why isn't he sharing his intel whenever he becomes the 3 eyed raven? I think they left a lot of interesting fantasy elements off the table for the battle of Winterfell. Maybe they thought it would be too unrealistic? Or didn't have enough time to build out that storyline?
  19. Vanimal46
    I know the rules... You turn 30 for a day then you're 29 for the rest of your life! I turn 29 this year... I'm non-prospect status now. Just a career minor leaguer.
  20. Vanimal46
    I binged the show before season 8 started and didn't really take the time to digest everything... My consistent thought watching seasons 1-7 is there's no point to Bran... They just showed him every 7-8 episodes as a reminder that he's still out on his journey. I was hoping there would be a point in season 8 when he finally reunited with everyone... Nope. Maybe he'll play a bigger role taking down Cersei?

    I'm going to miss playing against Baltimore... They are a terrible baseball team.

    Wight walkers can dog pile over fire to let in a swarm of other wight walkers. But when they battle, they can only fight one at a time in a single file line. Night King is the most powerful dude in the whole series... Yet throws spears with the same accuracy as Rick Ankiel the pitcher.
  23. Vanimal46
    Bran may be the most useless main character... Ever.
  24. Vanimal46
    Holy bleep that was intense! Made Battle of the Bastards look like A ball... I'm going to need to rewatch it just to catch everything that happened.
  25. Vanimal46
    Cashman was the late round pick I was interested in...
