    In all seriousness, is it wrong to feel like we've earned a badge of fandom to see the Twins' worst season? There's very little from the 2012-2014 years that's memorable as time passes by... If they hit 103 losses at least we can say we saw rock bottom!

    Still doesn't feel like fall down here. 90 degrees for the high temp today.

    0 broken bats coaching visits: 28 Game time: 3 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds strikeouts: 27 (For the Twins only, right?) stolen bases: 0 pick the click: Dozier

    Shut down the thread. This is the correct answer.

    It got mixed reviews at the beginning because it started slow, and deceived the audience of what was really going on. Once the twist was revealed, the last 3-4 episodes have been great. Same pacing and non-stop tension that we all came to love in season 1.

    This is a feel good story that we'll all tell our grand kids one day.

    The season is winding down, and I need some closure.... Brock? Who won this gladiator showdown?

    Are there enough excuses / natural disasters left in the book to cancel all remaining games so we stay at 96 losses? - Uniforms lost at baggage claim - Charter jet went to wrong city - Equipment manager went on strike, took everyone's glove. - ?

    Mike Sixel special question today: mike sixel 1:26 A: thanks for the beergraphs article on hops. B: dangit.....which trades return more prospect value, mid-season or winter? Eno Sarris 1:27 mid-season because the other team knows they are in it.
  14. Vanimal46
    UPDATE: 10 games remaining for the Orioles. Joseph still has 0 RBI. He's closing in on a historic season!
  15. Vanimal46
    That could be as early as April 2017 when that happens. Ervin's been prone to a couple of 5+ ERA pumpkin seasons. Then we're stuck with him.

    If a 35 year old is still the team's best and most reliable starter in 2018, this organization is in deep trouble.
  17. Vanimal46
    I would still look to FA and bring in 2-3 other arms to compete for a bullpen spot. I see a few on the list that I would not tender and let them go: Kintzler Boshers O' Rourke 1 or 2 of Darnell / Dean / Wheeler
  18. Vanimal46
    Glad to hear it. McLeod at the top with one of the younger candidates taking the GM role would be a great start to this off-season.
  19. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer the whole pitching staff to be as fluid as possible. Santana had a good 2016. If he turns into a pumpkin, they're stuck with his $13.5 million price tag for 2018. The Twins already have someone they're stuck with at a high price point in Hughes. There's not going to be an obvious replacement for Santana. Depends on what you value more - having Santana and potentially getting stuck with him in 2018 when the younger guys are closer to being MLB ready - OR - getting out of the contract and taking a step back in the short term.

    Another day where BIG National Holiday wants us to put on 10 lbs... Today is National Ice Cream Cone Day! As much as I love ice cream, I've been attending too many events this week where drinks and food have been consumed. Have to pass on this today. Today is also National White Chocolate Day! We recently bought a bag of white chocolate mini kit-kat wafers.. Those things are like crack. Today is also Car Free Day! A day where you're supposed to leave your car at home, and use public transportation. I've already broken the rules on this day.

    Pass on Kintzler. Locks would be Rogers, Chargois, Pressley. Tonkin is iffy. The strikeouts are nice, but he's also prone to give up a big inning. The expectation of IP for both Hughes and Perkins should be 0 until further notice. Hildenberger, Burdi, Melotakis, and Reed have been on our radars for a couple of years now. Maybe 2017 is the year we'll see some of these awesome RP prospects.
  22. Vanimal46
    If Brett Anderson could be had for a 1 year heavy incentive laden contract, I'd pull the trigger on that. Very high risk where he could be like Rich Harden/Joel Zumaya and never pitch an inning for the Twins. I guess I would also take a flyer on Mat Latos and hope to be surprised about it.
  23. Vanimal46
    I agree with you that the Pohlad's didn't fire TR to keep the status quo going forward. There's an issue with your plan, at least the significant FA signing... This year's list of FA SP are frightening. We're talking maybe Rich Hill being the best possible option out there, who will most likely see a 3/45 type contract. Ick. Whoever the new PBO / GM will be, they'll have to be quite creative with fixing the rotation this year. It's probably not going to look pretty when they announce the signings. But hopefully one or more becomes a Scott Feldman type to flip somewhere else for more upside. Long story short, I agree with you and hope there is an overhaul with next year's rotation.
  24. Vanimal46
    I know you're right, but that doesn't help the hesitancy of giving him $9-10 million next year. There may be a new regime on the way, but it's still the Pohlad's that sign off on letting players go. I don't believe they would ever DFA a $10 million player no matter how bad he may perform.

    You mean you don't want to partake in National Pecan Cookie Day? Because I certainly do! Also, on this day in 1937, author J.R.R. Tolkien publishes a new book in London that gains wild popularity... In fact, it's still a classic today! That book is, "The Hobbit".
