  1. I remember being really cheesed off at all that rigamarole with that guy. I was happy to cheer against him. He did have a strong rookie season, but then kind of petered out over the years. Reminded me of one of those guys who grows really fast and is the all-sport star in middle school, but then the growth stops, and the stardom goes away.
  2. Why am I reminded of the opening scene from 'Major League' when the scouts are sitting around the table looking at the owner's new roster: "This guy is DEAD!"
  3. They are correct. I've been waiting in the wilderness for a while now about Brooks to 3rd and Royce to 1st. It's the only dam thing that makes sense. They should have given Royce the mitt last fall and told him to learn all he can over the winter.
  4. Oh my Gawd, the Jim pohlad era is off to a rollicking start. 8.61 ERA? Sign me up!! Please, guys, these needle-moving, earth-shaking, pennant-clinching moves are giving me palpitations! Stop! Stop!! Next you'll be telling me you're re-upping 5X DFA'd (including US!) Matt Bowman or something- that would just be too ecstatic for words! Oh, wait...
  5. Pfft... The Twins, checking on (insert decent player name here): Twins: Yah, ya wanna come here, then, and compete for 4th place in our division, with a trash owner situation? Player/ agent: Nope. Twins: Yah, ok then, we had ta check.
  6. They gotta get Kopech. Make him the closer, promise him 2 years if you have to, but get him.
  7. I'm gonna pimp my post of a coupla weeks ago- putting the band back together! Danny C, Jorge Lopez, and Liam Hendricks are still out there! (I'll be they'll sign Kopech, tho!) 😅
  8. While SS is settled with the pennant-fever additions of Arcia and Brujan, we at least got a jump start on putting the BP band back again with Taylor. We missed out on the Genesis Cabrera sweepstakes, and better hurry, Liam Hendricks, Danny C, and Jorge Lopez aren't gonna stay out there forever! Or, maybe, they will... 🤔
  9. Heh... "local businessman" Tbh, though, he could probably still provide better D than Brooks.
  10. We let the dream part walk, and kept the nightmare.
  11. Such a tragic loss. I remember as a kid, hearing Herb raving about his speed, and Halsey chiming in about what fun it would be to watch him hit a triple.
  12. Let's see... I know! We could put together a BP by putting the free agent band back together! Taylor Rogers, Emilio Pagan, Thielbar and Coulombe, Ryan Pressly, and what the heck,, throw Genesis Cabrera into the mix, too! I can hear the sweet music already! 😅🎶 Come to think of it, Liam Hendricks is out there, too! 😅
  13. Who knows? He might become the Clete Thomas of Kyle Garlicks. Hopefully not the Manuel Margot of Butch Huskeys.
  14. Welp, since we went after the other Arcia, (a couple years too late), we might as well re-up with his older brother again, just for kicks.
  15. I do like me some Seranthony. That said, Taylor Rogers is just out there, chillin' in free agency. Just sayin'. 😂
  16. "32." (Those are air-quotes, btw).
  17. Any time a pohlad leaves the Twins FO it's a good day. But replacing him with another pohlad? It's like crapping your pants on a cold day, and thinking, 'Well, at least it's warm.' Re: "Joe was not on board with this at first." Good. I hope he squealed like a scalded dog on the way out. I hope his feelings were deeply hurt and the embarrassment goes all the way down to his core. His Norm Green-level "stewardship" killed any good will any of us felt in '23, which was the first time in decades we were allowed to have any of it at all. So now older bro is bailing him out. I won't be chowing down any of his word salad any more than what his incompetent little bro spewed until I see concrete results. And if they think Josh Bell is any kind of carrot, that's a big nope.
  18. I have been clamoring most of the year for the Lewis to 1B and Lee to 3B. Needs to happen. Let Fitz play SS til Culpepper is al dente.
  19. FFS, these guys. Devastate the BP for no reason at all, let go the hometown future hero, and now they dump the only BP auditioner who actually showed something? Good grief, this FO needs to go along with the pohlads.
