    You know, those 2 years of sustained success. Thank God for them they developed and kept Andrew Miller all of these years. Wait.... They traded for him to take them to the next level?
  3. Vanimal46
    Nah. I think it's safe to say Cleveland isn't that good though.

    How is that different from any other sport though? The last NFL game I went to, granted it was 6-7 years ago now was full of drunk idiots. Every hockey game I go to is full of people just like you're describing. Drinking, eating good food, and yelling "SHOOT!" Any time the puck enters the offensive zone on a power play.

    He's so far off the radar my phone autocorrected his last name!

    I never envisioned a time where I would have to know who Taylor Matter, Bobby Wilson, and Ryan LaMarre are. Now 2 are near every day players...

    Welcome back Joe. Finally, another hitter better than .240 in the lineup!

    It's all kind of arbitrary and silly, no? Why don't we count warm up pitches toward their pitch count between innings? Or pitches in the bullpen before the game?

    Not anymore... I will gladly switch back to seeing ads if the redirecting problem is resolved. It is unusable for me after 30 seconds.

    Agreed. It sounds like an intervention to get his life and career back on track. People in the past have posted "Why don't the Twins hire a nutritionist/personal trainer for Sano?" Well, they got their wish. He'll probably stay near the facility, get all of his meals prepared by someone else there, and get back to the basics.

    Ahh yep... Didn't read until the end of the post and it said that he passed the threshold. Carry on!

    Interesting note I read... Miguel Sano has 77 days remaining before he surpasses 3 years of service time... He could be a minimum salary player again next season depending on how long the demotion lasts. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/06/twins-option-miguel-sano.html

    Oh boy. They can get in line behind BAL, TOR, TEX, CWS, DET, KC, NYM, MIA, PIT, CIN, OAK, and name anyone in the NL West who decides to give up too.
  15. Vanimal46
    Obviously these things happen over the years, like Knoblauch losing all ability to throw the baseball. It's still fascinating and frustrating how someone can have a mechanical breakdown like this. How does this happen?
  16. Vanimal46
    What was your favorite "Buxton/Sano Era" moment?
  17. Vanimal46
    Agreed. He's been a check swinging mess all year. And the full swings he does have he's missing pitches he should crush out of the ballpark.
  18. Vanimal46
    Yep. Multiple reporters posted the same thing. Good. He's been flat out embarrassing the entire season.

    Where did I say acquiring Machado will help the Twins rocket up the standings? You're reading into things that are not there. I'm saying the Twins have the prospects to make a trade such as this. And bringing Machado into the organization before anyone else has a chance to talk to him could increase those odds of him signing long term from 3% that you said. You know what's going to happen instead? 20+ teams are going to bombard him and his agent to set up a meeting, and the Twins won't be on his radar. Let's get back to our previously scheduled program where we discuss Matt Belisle, how terrible the offense is, and firing Molitor.
  21. Vanimal46
    This isn't meant to complain... I'm just talking about a strategy with Machado to increase the odds of him signing here from 3% as the poster before me said to a higher number.
  22. Vanimal46
    1 year of control vs. 2 months of control... The price has decreased slightly. And there are creative ways to get around it such as taking on Darren O'Day's $9 MM salary next season. Do I realistically think it could happen? Absolutely not. But I do think bringing him here early gives them better odds of signing him over. He's going to be bombarded by 20+ teams this winter trying to schedule time with him and his agent.
  23. Vanimal46
    I'd give that scenario better odds than being 1 of 20 teams contacting him this winter trying to set up a meeting.
  24. Vanimal46
    Depends on what you feel is absurd. I would gladly trade Gordon, Gonsalves, and another player if we got commitment of a long term contract from Machado. You don't think there's any validity to getting Machado in this organization before anyone else has a chance to speak with him about their org goals and vision? If they acquired him in July they have 2+ months to get his buy in on the organization's culture, coaching staff, and players on the team.

    Next time they need to get women and children out of the first few rows of the stands just in case... Copyright Dark Star talking about Frankie Franchise.
