    I concur with Platoon. Any moves that doesn't switch Polanco off of SS is a moot point. They need a legit fielding SS, and if Iglesias is the best bet, sign him. I'm not sure why we want to bring the band back together when the best they've done is win 85 games.

    If the goal is to win in 2019 this group won't cut it. They'll need at least 3 FA signings. If the goal is mediocrity again, this group and strategy of cycling through waiver wire unknowns is fine. We'll see how Falvey and Levine approach this in the winter.

    Musk would have received a slap on the wrist not admitting guilt, pay fines, step down as chairman, and hire 2 new directors but he backs out. He can't get out of his own way right now.

    A tackling dummy is better than Compton right now. He needs to go.

    To put context towards the multiple posts about Donald running circles around our guards...

    This is all spot on. Not sure how a lightbulb hasn't gone off in Taylor's head when he's fielding trade calls. He paid Thibs a boat load of money to do that for him. And frankly, Taylor should be the last person to negotiate a basketball trade.

    I am a fraud and never was a fan really. But I do find the drama fascinating. And troubling how someone who's running an entire organization can not deal with reality. It's become desperate at this point, like trying to win back an ex significant other. Just move on, man. If he is not able to do it, then he's in the wrong role.

    https://deadspin.com/the-jimmy-butler-trade-saga-has-entered-the-realm-of-fa-1829386303 Thibs is that one guy in your fantasy football league who offers a kicker for your best player. Fire him now if he's not going to look out for the best interest of the franchise.

    Sounds like he doesn't have the vote count to be confirmed yet. As time passes by more people will also withdraw their endorsement.

    The Rams would represent the NFC in the Superbowl today. Possibly in 5 months too.

    Sigh...

    Was just gonna post that. I get he's the best DT in football but good lord... Put a hand on him.
  13. Vanimal46
    At least Dan Bailey can kick!

    Donald and Suh are running circles around our guards.
  15. Vanimal46
    Exactly. He already got torched once not sure why he's out there trying to cover one again.

    The only silver lining is Hunter.

    This will be Frankie Franchise's 300th career start tonight. Wonder if he hangs it up himself after the season?
  18. Vanimal46
    Absolutely. Very "meme-able" picture. Is meme-able a word?
  19. Vanimal46
    Too funny not to share...

    Tilray up $16 in the last day.... Ugh.
  21. Vanimal46
    Haven't had time to dig into this story yet, but SEC is suing Elon Musk?

    Coaching, video analysis, some higher power is telling players to change their launch angle and swing for a HR... Someone told 5'11 210 lb. Eugenio Suarez he was better off swinging for the fences... He has as many HRs this season than his 5 year minor league seasons combined. Did anyone anticipate Eduardo Escobar being a 20+ HR hitter at any point in his career? I certainly didn't from 2013-2016.

    I've taken jimmer's advice and rolled with it. Efficient and smart baseball doesn't mean it's a good product. With the Twins playing mostly bad this year I've had a lot of time to think about why I still care about the Twins and baseball. There's a lot of things that bother me about this era. One of my biggest gripes is analytics telling everyone regardless of size that it's better to upper cut swing for the fences. As we stand today, 76 qualified hitters have 20+ HRs. 98 qualified hitters have 16+ HRs. 20 HRs used to be a notable achievement.... Now it's a baseline for most players. Analytics also tells us to work a count and draw walks instead of being aggressive and making contact. It seems like teams always had an Astudillo type on roster that consistently put the ball in play. Astudillo is now a unicorn in this era of baseball.

    Bad player personnel decisions + no contributions from draft picks = all of the 90+ loss seasons we sat through.

    Get your cheap shots and low blows in now! Only a couple days left to do so.
