  1. That’s been my excuse before too
  2. Would have to score 2 or more 😱
  3. Yep. Gotta find some way for these starters to throw less pitches. Can’t be 100+ after 5
  4. The crowd on the broadcast sounded like a minor league game during the triple lol
  5. Kris having trouble believing that the twins have a losing record against the NL the last two years but a winning one over the AL. Can’t figure out why that is
  6. 60?!? That’s like June here 😂
  7. Wow I forgot I can’t watch this series because the Mets are in my viewing area even though I don’t get their network. UGH
  8. It’s an embarrassment of riches over here in the TC. 1.8 era with us, didn’t need him. Let’s get dobber another go
  9. To be fair, we had no room for him. We simply have too many amazing bullpen arms ahead of him.
  10. “Twins baseball was made for the radio” is an odd slogan. Is it too ugly for video?
  11. No one is complaining about his salary that I can see. The comparison was made by another poster to average people. I have zero problem with ballplayers making big bucks to play a game. Society has decided that sports are more valuable than other walks of life. But you can’t say “well you’ve made a mistake at your job too”. Yeah, everyone has. But when you make 10x what the average person makes, you have 10x less leeway. If you made 10 brain farts a day at your job, you’d probably be canned or sent for more training. Miranda was sent for more training. Seems like a fair deal when you mess up on the basics of your job. Maybe he can learn how to run the bases in AAA and come back when he’s got his head more in the game. And he’d probably not have been sent down if he were hitting better than .167 with 6 hits on the season. But you can’t perform poorly and make mental gaffes. Maybe another guy can come up and give you more for your money.
  12. He makes $783,110 this year. He is in the top 1% of all US wage earners, earning about 10 times more than the average US worker. The expectations are commensurate with his salary. This is a wild comment.
  13. Not always. Baseball has to be your life job in order to become an MLB manager. Kind of like becoming a senator. A lot of people have regular 9-5s and just enjoy coaching, while understanding the game very well. I’m sure many average Joe baseball fans could manage in MLB, but teams generally want people who have been around the game at the professional level in some capacity. Works easier in the clubhouse that way
  14. You can say it was inexcusable, but the booth did their absolute best to make it look like anything other than an embarrassing blunder
