    I think Griffin Jax has a better chance of starting than either of those two. Duran would take months to build up as a starter coming back from injury. Stewart's current pitch mix isn't good enough to start IMO.

    At least all of our pitchers are definitely better than Trevor Bauer! /s

    And even worse, it's not just the Twins. Payroll around baseball is down and star players keep getting injured. Yelich left the Brewers game tonight with an apparent serious injury as well.

    Dodger fans are some of the most toxic, stupid fans in baseball. Are we surprised?

    Wallner looks completely lost at the plate, no matter who he faces. Hard to argue starting him over anyone else on the roster at this point. Margot provides better defense as well, which is especially important with Buxton DH'ing.

    I hope Alex didn't have a rib fracture right there...

    That's not what my eyes or the tracker said. It was at the knees.

    I'm so glad Margot was batting there instead of Julien. Twins Baseball is brilliant!
  10. Hrbowski
    Twins need a better analytical department. Now Margot comes up two more times to face a righty, rather than have Julien face a lefty once and righty twice. Mind boggling stupidity. I'm looking forward to when Falvey is fired.

    Twins are so banal about splits even when the numbers don't favor it. It's infuriating.

    "He also has a propensity to be a tad emotional on the mound, so he has always been susceptible to an ambush." This statement is not rooted in reality. Please...

    I strongly disagree. The minor leaguers were able to get recognition as a union with minimal pain because of the MLBPA, not in spite of it. The MLBPA has done a great job as a union helping players who haven't reached free agency - arbitration, helping to put more pain on teams who manipulate service time, adding bonus pools for pre-arb players, etc. Any effort to add a salary cap will hurt players of all career stages, as it will mean players are paid less in free agency and arbitration - more so than adding a salary floor would help, and the owners won't agree to the latter without the former. What bothers me the most about this saga is that Harry Marino, a lawyer who does not work for the union (and was let go because he didn't work well with other people in the union) is now trying to take over the organization by intrigue, and is believed to support initiatives that the owners want? Something isn't adding up, and it would be terrible if the union went this direction.

    He should be placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete, like MLB has done for other investigations in the past. Of course, I'd be shocked if MLB took any action against him because he's their biggest money maker right now. I find it extremely hard to believe that Ohtani wasn't involved, with the shifting stories and amount of money that was being bet.

    I know two people who have said this to me - one a position player from the Dodgers and another pitcher from Cleveland. I also could find no source to support the report that Dodgers players were polled - just hearsay from one journalist. My point is teams aren't signing him because of PR - not because of what kind of teammate he is. Gerrit Cole has had a lot of accusations of being a terrible teammate as well and he'd be snatched up immediately if he was available for league minimum. What I find odd is that players who were actually convicted of abuse like Marcell Ozuna and Aroldis Chapman are still around the league, so it seems like some kind of double-standard is in play here, and I suspect it is because Bauer has criticized Manfred. Even Miguel Sano, who had an accusation of sexual abuse against him, was able to get a Non-roster invite this spring.

    This simply isn't true. I know people who have played in the Major Leagues with Trevor and they've all told me they loved being his teammate. Others, including Mookie Betts, have publicly stated this as well. The reason he has remained unsigned is because teams are worried about the negative reaction from fans if they signed him - it has nothing to do with his abilities as a player or how good of a teammate he is.

    Not really a reasonable comparison between the NHL and NBA vs MLB. The NHL salary cap is approximately half of what the 2023 Twins' payroll, so they can afford to have less TV revenue. Another thing to keep in mind is the demographics where baseball is struggling - young people - most who don't watch local TV. If you want to increase your fan base, affordable streaming without blackout restrictions is the correct route. Finally, increasing the percentage of revenue devoted to payroll is a terrible idea. There are teams who are in debt right now because they did this and are not going to be able to field long-term competitive teams because of it.

    Go DBacks, I guess

    That pitch was four inches in
  20. Hrbowski
    Well, work is funner than this. I think I'll get back to that.
  21. Hrbowski
    The Twins have no excuses for starting Castro in a playoff game. They could have traded for anyone.
  22. Hrbowski
    Yep, ran it exactly like how you're taught. Half step, freeze, go.
  23. Hrbowski
    Same story all season. This offense has been painful to watch all year. We're lucky we've gotten this far!
  24. Hrbowski
    That play was personal for Correa!
  25. Hrbowski
    umpires have gotten worse as the night goes along, yikes
