    Maybe my game cast is messing with me because now it says 2-0 Twins and Park hit a HR?
  2. Vanimal46
    0-0 after 1. The powerhouse lineup of D Santana, Grossman, and Park couldn't hit Stubbs home from 2nd.

    Yeah I'd say that Taco Bell's hard and soft shell tacos are the most forgettable part of their offerings. Crunch wrap supreme was my go to order during the college days.

    Fast-ish food I guess.

    The Ringer came up with a list of the top 50 Fast Food items available for purchase... List here. Initial thoughts: - In and Out is very overrated.... Tried them a couple of times and it's not that impressive. - 2 tacos for $0.99 at Jack in the Box at 19? Those are the greasiest sons of B's ever. - Culver's cheese curds should be higher. Those things are actually pretty good. - Chik-Fil-A Waffle Fries are where they belong at #1.

    The Twins were mentioned in Travis Sawchik's recent article "What Teams Are Stuck In Between?" Biggest concern obviously is where the pitching is going to come from while Sano & Buxton are young and controllable.

    Neil Fingleton, 36 has passed away. You may know him as Mag the Mighty in Game of Thrones. He was the UK's tallest man measuring in at 7 feet 7 inches tall.

    I hope you're right. Like I said before Hanzal wasn't on my radar at all, so others will be a better judge of him than me. Really I'm just excited that a Minnesota sports team is going all-in this season. Should be fun to watch down the stretch!
  11. Vanimal46
    That's fair. I didn't make it clear before when I said safe college arms. Your examples definitely qualify. Johnson's high velocity, converting relievers into starters hasn't worked out well either. If they're searching for a front-line starter, I hope this time they take someone who's currently starting.
  12. Vanimal46
    You can consider it non-typical college arms, but they are still college arms. If we move the sample size from 2012 to 2000, the trend of HS toolsy players or college arms is clear.
  13. Vanimal46
    The previous regime almost always went with the "safe" college arm, or HS OF with tools... Mostly it was a conservative approach. I want the new regime to gamble on the highest upside possible. And that certainly sounds like Greene.
  14. Vanimal46
    Agreed. Can't say Hanzal has ever been on my radar until this deal was announced. It's definitely an overpay for a depth C and a grinder type player.. Though I prefer giving up draft picks over prospects at this point. Also, concur that there's zero chance Hanzal is resigned this summer.
  15. Vanimal46
    Agreed. I wasn't a former college player but was on the staff at my alma matter's men's hockey team. Had the same experience... Whenever the team swept an opponent over the weekend, I heard "We did amazing! So glad we recruited Willie Getup he's going to be a stud!" Whenever the team got swept by an opponent, "They're terrible. What were they thinking recruiting Willie Getup?"
  16. Vanimal46
    Personally the instances I've used "we" when describing a sports team are when I'm on that sports team, or on the staff of a sports team. The way I've justified that thinking is do the Twins know I'm a fan of their team? Do they care about my opinion of the team? Probably not, otherwise D Santana would be released already It's not wrong if fans want to use "we" to feel like they're a part of the team. I may roll my eyes when I read it or hear it, but it's not something to get upset about. My views align more with Craig and Ben where I just don't identify myself that way with sports teams.
  17. Vanimal46
    I try to make a point to reference a sports team as "they" for this reason...
  18. Vanimal46
    Did you do North's off-season training program? I hear he's been in the woods living with bears and getting his nourishment from poutine
  19. Vanimal46
    Is Sano going to look EXTRA athletic today?
  20. Vanimal46
    I thought he was the new closer??
  21. Vanimal46
    You're already in peak game thread mode! Should have been practicing over the winter...
  22. Vanimal46
    Woah! What's this glorious thread doing here? I thought we were still in SCORCHING hot take mode...
  23. Vanimal46
    Yeah last year was a complete disaster. It falls on the manager to get a team prepared for an upcoming season, and they fell on their face from the get-go. Everything that Molitor could control, such as in-game strategy and lineup decisions was backwards thinking. The lineups he was submitting from July - September was basically throwing up the white flag on letting any rookies get a chance. Jordan freaking Schafer started 20+ games in September. If the Pohlad's would have accepted paying 2 salaries this season, he would be gone already.
  24. Vanimal46
    He could very well be Florimon 2.0. But I'm also concerned that a Polanco/Sano left side of the infield will result in a lot of infield base hits and bubbled ground balls. I'd feel a little better having a plus glove play at least 1 spot on the left side of the IF.
  25. Vanimal46
    Concur. I suppose Allen could make a case to stay if he vibes with Falvey + Levine. I'm convinced this is Molly's last year managing any MLB team, and will transition back to minor league instructor or something like that.
