    Fangraphs is a thing of beauty sometimes. Joe Mays' fastball was clocked in at an average of 87.5 MPH. Not sure what happened to him in 2003 where it dipped to 85.2 MPH... But that didn't stop him from throwing it 60% of the time!

    Now that I know that, I've lost ALL respect for them...

    And it was a dramatic ordeal on this website when we learned Falvey or Levine didn't call Dougy Baseball to let him know his contract wasn't being renewed. Actually, that seems to be a trend with this duo. Not calling their current employees.
  5. Vanimal46
    Taking out the obvious connection between him and Levine, why else would we want him? Texas is trending in the wrong direction. It also appears Bannister did very little to develop their young players like Mazara, Odor, and Calhoun.
  6. Vanimal46
    Very awkward. Just cut the cord. Don't leave him hanging by a thread.
  7. Vanimal46
    Agreed. He was getting blamed for things outside of his job duties here on TD most of the season. Oh well, Molitor will be just fine. A new manager is only one step to the equation. It's not going to fix the talent deficiencies on the field.
  8. Vanimal46
    Wonder if they'll promote from within or look elsewhere. I'm only partially kidding with these replacement ideas: Chris Gimenez and Matt Belisle. There must be some reason Falvine keeps bringing them back on their rosters.
  9. Vanimal46
    Chris Gimenez? Only partially kidding there.
  10. Vanimal46
    Certainly didn't help his case if in fact it was Molitor insisting on keeping him.
  11. Vanimal46
    Makes sense that Falvine wants their own guy. I'm surprised they got approval from Mr. Pohlad to make the move.

    Right? I'd rather try to win 90 games with players who have zero ties to the Twins, or try to win 65 games with the young prospects. I'd rather not bring the band back together and win 78 games.

    They won't sign 2 players for more than what Escobar is projected. But there will be 2 players signed that are more valuable than Escobar. We just won't know until this time next year who it was.... Who would have guessed Anibal Sanchez was the best FA SP for the Twins?
  15. Vanimal46
    Not to pick on you Doc, but I keep reading super utility tied to Escobar all over TD, and I'm curious why he would agree to that? He's been an every day player this year, starting nearly every game at 3B. Don't you think he wants an every day role after years of having to prove himself and fight his way into the lineup? He's started a grand total of 29 games at SS, and 6 at 2B the last 2 seasons. Compared to 201 starts at 3B. I'm confused where this narrative of him being a super utility guy is coming from. He appears locked in as an every day 3B from the stats and eye test. Remember in 2016 when he started a bunch of games at SS? He doesn't have the arm to survive unless in emergency situations.
  16. Vanimal46
    Which is strange IMO... The best they've done is win 85 games. Be bold, do something different.
  17. Vanimal46
    So with this graphic we can finally put to rest the old fallacy that the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers buy all of their good players?
  18. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more. They could have easily stood pat with what they had. Brinson is a highly rated prospect and I'm sure the others in the trade package were too. When you have a chance to get an established MLB starter for lottery tickets do it.
  19. Vanimal46
    I'm curious what Josh Donaldson's contract projection is. If he figured out the whole dead arm situation that could be a high risk, high reward option.
  20. Vanimal46
    I'm not ready to say Trubisky is for real. I am ready to say Tampa Bay has crashed to Earth... Their defense falls apart every season. If Trubisky is for real, the Bears will win the division. That defense is scary good with Mack. The Bears haven't gotten the running game going however, so that needs to happen for them to keep up this pace later in the season. As a fantasy football player with Jordan Howard on my team there is not a more disappointing RB going right now than him.
  21. Vanimal46
    Yes, I've been on this thought train since last winter. If he manages to stay on top 100 prospect lists after this season I would actively look to trade Gordon.
  22. Vanimal46
    I should have put one on mine too... We were on the same sarcastic page
  23. Vanimal46
    They do have a catcher, but depending on who you ask, he's going to be too expensive.
  24. Vanimal46
    Game 163 also means one more shot for Christian Yelich to win the triple crown. He's trailing Arenado by 1 HR and Javier Baez by 2 RBI to be the first winner since Miggy Cabrera in 2012.
  25. Vanimal46
    Kudos to you Tom for another great season of game recaps. This season was really tough. Full of frustration, confusion, and periods of hopelessness. It would have been easy to give up doing game recaps when apathy set in. I read your recaps and kept up with the team whether I posted or not. Thank you.
