    Who knows. I don't have a PFF subscription to dig into it. I'm assuming that the Vikings give up a significant amount of pressures and less time for Kirk to make a decision compared to a 15th ranked OL.

    Adam Brett Walker III loves this post!

    OL play is bad throughout the league, but the Vikings are consistently ranked as a bottom 5 NFL team at OL. It's been that way for years...
  4. Vanimal46
    Especially last night. I read a tweet that Cousins was under pressure for 50% of passing plays.
  5. Vanimal46
    They're missing an OL... Which is no surprise at all considering it's been a problem for years. Hill is brutal at LT, and Isadora is in way over his head at this level.

    After the Thielen fumble it was like a switch turned off on this team. No fight in the 2nd half which is very disappointing. One thing that bothered me is absolutely zero urgency to score quickly in the 4th quarter. They took over a minute off the clock on their goal line drive calling 2 plays. That is ridiculous when you're down 17 points.

    Overall this WS was anticlimactic and predictable. Hope it's better next year.

    LA was better last season and came close to winning it all. This season, not so much. The Red Sox are a dominant team... You can see the delta this year between a team that won 108 games and one that won 92.

    Night game! From what I'm reading so far, Rhodes and Linval are playing! Reiff, Barr, Compton, Sendejo, and Cook are out... The Saints are much healthier than our favorite team tonight. Kirky and Thielen are going to have to carry the team to a win tonight.

    We don't really know how these players act in high tension situations until they're in it. I'm really disappointed in Machado's attempts to hurt people on the field. Not sure I want the highest paid player on the team to act in that kind of fashion.
  11. Vanimal46
    Hmm. Had no idea they were playing on a Friday night. Why was that?
  12. Vanimal46
    I don't read too good. Just the comments.

    I guess we're supposed to pretend Molitor wasn't blessed with immense talent, didn't know how to deal with pressure/expectations, nor has anything not gone according to plan.
  15. Vanimal46
    How is this not conflict of interest?
  16. Vanimal46
    He's entering his age 26 season and these days people view players in their early 30s as undesirable used goods past their prime. The clock is ticking, not beginning. The league continues to get younger... We can't keep using this same excuse for every one of our players.

    I was reminded by a friend of mine whos a Rockets fan the salaries have to match in the NBA to make the trade. Throw in Joe Bag O' Donuts to match the salary and move on with 4 new 1st round picks.

    Dominos? Ick. Call 651-488-8888 Pizza Hut delivery is on its way!

    It was settled mid year and that is the link spycake shared.... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/30480-40-man-eligible-players-2018-offseason/?do=findComment&comment=766470 You even posted on that thread!

    They're giving more PAs to worse players in Kike Hernandez and Dozier. And frankly, the LH/RH platoon advantage is minimal against Sale and Price. Lefties hit .170/.224/.200 off Sale this year which is obviously bad, but righties only hit .181/.247/.308. Price held lefties to .210/.291/.381, but righties only hit .232/.293/.402 off of him. So when the margin is that thin, why wouldn't you just play your big bats who helped you get there in the first place? That's being too cute with the platooning IMO.

    He does not have one more year. He's rule 5 eligible this winter. https://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-minnesota-twins/

    Good find. Though I caution the wording in the article. They approached him about a possible extension. That could be as simple as the FO approaching him and asking if he wants to be here long term. In my world of sales talking about potentially signing an extension is the beginning stages of any deal. It becomes more real if years and salary figures were exchanged. Which, the way I read it, were not brought up prior to him being traded.
  24. Vanimal46
    Also, there's nothing officially written that I can find stating the Twins offered Escobar an extension while he was with the team. So that is speculation as well.
  25. Vanimal46
    Nope. Maybe they offered what Seth was proposing around this time last year. http://twinsdaily.com/_/minnesota-twins-news/minnesota-twins/diving-into-the-offseason-an-eduardo-escobar-extension-r6279
