    That was not possible this year

    Platooning a 21 year old is a dumb idea.

    Wentz looked pretty decent for a guy who had minimal reps all offseason. Much like Nick Mullens, he has 2 or 3 blue screen of death decisions a game. That INT in the end zone which was reversed because of defensive holding was a brain dead pass. Speaking of Mullens, where is he? I read he was released during roster cut downs, but probably ended up on a practice squad somewhere

    Not much left to say about this season. I think we all realize more changes are needed. Will Tom P make the first aggressive move by firing Zoll?

    I pretty much had the same experience with my 2 favorite football teams Texas Longhorns and Minnesota Vikings. Disastrous first half followed up with an impressive 4th quarter comeback. The B-Flo defense really clamped down in the 2nd half. Jordan Love is the most overrated QB in the NFL in my opinion.

    Okay cool. The OF for the remaining games needs to be some combination of Jenkins, E-Rod, and Keaschall. Larnach should not be taking any more PAs away from them. He can have Bell’s DH PAs if anything.

    Anything and everything should be on the table after missing the playoffs in 5 out of the last 6 seasons.

    This roster needs a lot of help in order to be competitive as soon as next year.

    Keeping the status quo continues to make 1/3rd of the league’s franchises irrelevant. Unless you have a world class development program like Milwaukee, sustained success is not possible for the bottom revenue teams. Edit: I want to see big changes in this next CBA. Making slight tweaks to the current format won’t be enough. If it takes 18 months for major changes to happen, that’s the cost of doing business. Hopefully they can figure it out before a full season is lost.

    Catching the ball is pretty important at 1B, and catching the ball is a consistent challenge for Keaschall. Do we think he'll be able to scoop throws made to him after watching him botch more than his fair share of ground balls at 2B? I have my doubts.

    If losing baseball in 2027 means a future where the Dodgers can't buy all of the top FAs every year, I will take that trade off.
  12. Vanimal46
    The status quo will set up the 2 new expansion teams to fail. Or continue preventing expansion from happening in the first place.
  13. Vanimal46
    Their music also sucked when we were younger too.
  14. Vanimal46
    Apparently the Jonas brothers are still popular in Australia
  15. Vanimal46
    Nick Foles, Michael Irvin, and Clay Matthews as the Netflix halftime show? Plus a woman I’ve never seen. Okay.

    Today was the last “warm” 80 degree day before it falls into the 60s the rest of the week. Good for my electric bill, but I will miss the warm weather
  17. Vanimal46
    I suppose the 49ers have the slight advantage at halftime flying into Australia a week early vs. the Rams who flew in basically today in Australia time?
  18. Vanimal46
    Idk why the NFL has ventured out this far in the world to expand the game. It’s lunch time for Australians on September 11th but still 8:50 PM September 10th here.
  19. Vanimal46
    What player making multiple millions of dollars that season had to compete for anything? It’s a yes or no to accept Royce Lewis as your 1B for all of next year.
  20. Vanimal46
    It’s mostly about the Ohtani contract and the Dodgers taking that loophole to the extreme. Over $1 billion in deferred salary is ridiculous… The players will need to receive something in return for a cap, and I think the best way to get players money earlier in their career. Spit balling here, but they could revamp the initial control years to 2 minimum contract years then 2 arbitration/restricted FA years. MLB gets a younger FA pool which increases fan interest.
  21. Vanimal46
    No arguments from me on the 3 names. Bummed about Royce, but it's time for a fresh start for both the Twins and him. Ober is going to cost too much on his last arb year, and probably why Zoll valued Kremer's 2027 option year in a trade, Others I will add to the list are Austin Martin and Matt Wallner.
  22. Vanimal46
    We will have all the time in the world to discuss this in more detail... A cap and floor needs to happen. Equal revenue sharing throughout the league, deferrals in contracts eliminated. The players in return get a reduction from 6 years of control to 4 so they can reach FA or get their 2nd contract earlier in their career.
  23. Vanimal46
    2024 is #1 and it's not even close. They had a 90% chance of making the playoffs heading into September, peaked at 13 games over .500 on September 2nd, and fell flat on their face for a 9-18 record.
  24. Vanimal46
    Gonna be honest I’ve only watched a majority of 1 game over the last week or more. It’s getting really old watching the same nose dive year after year.
  25. Vanimal46
    Simply for the fact that the Pohlads aren’t going to pay 3 manager salaries in 1 year. I have no idea how much longer we are paying out Rocco since manager contracts are treated like nuclear missile codes in Minnesota.
