  1. Why punt on 2019? There is plenty of cap space, existing talent, and unfulfilled (so far) potential talent for this team to make a run in 2019. Did you see what the 2018 Brewers did? The players and fans deserve 100 percent effort to win the World Series in 2019.
  2. Robbie fan here, high OBP guys are my guys. Do DRS and UZR give negative bonus points for ugly plays? Robbie had some real colossal miscues in 2016 and it feels like he was dinged for how ugly they were.
  3. Wow, Daniel's knowledge and enthusiasm really impress. Bubba Watson, one of my favorite golfers, is a lefty and a strong Christian so I am happy to hear he is a part owner. Their stadium and location sound amazing. The Twins apparently picked up a winner of a minor league affiliate.
  4. This is it. The reason I am ok with the new manager, coaching staff, Mauer retiring, and Falvine finally getting "their system" and "their guys" in place. My frustration as a fan is at an all time high - I will one up the "what are we rebuilding from" question and top it that the Twins really haven't relevant since the 1990s. One surprise ALCS appearance at the start of the Gardy era does not satisfy. This franchise needs something new. The first two years of Falvine they have only dipped the toe in the water. Now, let's jump in the deep end.
  5. I hate having the Twins held up against the Brewers for comparisons sake. Wisconsin sucks!
  6. It will definitely be interesting to see how the college experience translates to MLB. There are potential bumps in the road that are concerning.
  7. My feelings on the the Twins situation is that they haven't been relevant for at least nearly one decade. Possibly longer depending how you define relevant. It's finally time to really jump in with both feet and shake things up and upset the apple cart. Isn't that what most nearly everyone wanted near the end of the Ryan regime.
  8. At this point, it is still time for positivity and the outlook that a fresh beginning is awesome. The old Twins Way hadn't really worked for 25+ years. Gardy's clubs had some great players and division titles, yet only one ALCS and no WS appearances.
  9. These hires are refreshing. The old "Twins Way" hadn't really worked for 25 years. Let's turn the page to 21st century Twins and start hanging World Series banners again.
  10. Nice comparison. If Astudillo becomes Harper II then the Twins are in the middle of some good things.
  11. Nice guys finish first. Now, to the Hall of Fame for Joe.
  12. Keep the faith! To give up on Buxton now is foolish. The Twins should be all in on Buxton. Nice comparisons to Hicks. Let's also not forget the Twins traded Hicks for John Ryan Murphy.
  13. Now I won't have to fret any longer over how to pronounce "Kennys". Is the 's' silent? Do I say the 's'? So stressful.
  14. How much are tickets?
  15. I like the tear it down and rebuild it approach. I just wish the front office had started this type of effort two years ago instead of being so wishy washy.
  16. Those were depressing times in Twins Territory.
  17. I'd pay every penny I have to relive the 1984-1991 Twins seasons.
  18. You sold me on dealing Rosario and Gordon.
  19. So, are you saying that Jose Berrios is the top Twins starting pitcher?
  20. The Twins need most of these guys to fulfill their potential. The most intriguing to me is Kepler and whether he can progress beyond slightly above average status.
  21. What a weird middle ground this franchise is stuck in. Drats. Here's hoping Falvine signs some FAs this winter that make a lasting impression and give some productivity.
  22. They were all joyous and a good reminder of how much fun a baseball season really is - even a season as miserable as 2018 for the Twins. My favorite was Dozier's, closely followed by Astudillo.
