    We already have plenty of guys hitting at or below .200
  2. Aggies7
    Not unless they’re playing 5. And maybe then
  3. Aggies7
    Dobnak’s demeanor on the mound leaves something to be desired
  4. Aggies7
    Far better, considering the schedule.
  5. Aggies7
    Boyd gonna get the CG?
  6. Aggies7
    Is it really that ridiculous when you consider that they’ve had a total of 5 games this entire month against teams above .500? And all those games were with the Indians? The bar is set high after last season.
  7. Aggies7
    The ol boys are aware this is a 7 inning affair today? 1 hit through 4 and a gift run
  8. Aggies7
    The fact that I knew you weren’t talking about the Tigers says it all. We’re lethargic, and have been for a month. Not sure where the energy is that we saw last year
  9. Aggies7
    Any chance we can start another protest, mid game? Feels like we’ll be sitting in third place at the end of the weekend. Dobnak getting singled to death and so far the offense has been pretty quiet against a guy like Boyd. Not good
  10. Aggies7
    Not sure how much he really “has it” anyway. Good story and certainly not a bum, but I’d guess he’s pitching over his head. Just my 2c
  11. Aggies7
    Had to be gifted a run against the guy with an 8 ERA
  12. Aggies7
    I've seen ONE player, the giants reliever, say he didn't support this movement. Again, i'd have to believe, its nearly impossible that however many people there are in the twins clubhouse, let alone 999/1,000 players in mlb would agree on such a controversial topic. even if you asked the question "is killing someone wrong?" you'd have a lot of "yes but in certain situations"... but maybe i'm an overly pessimistic person
  13. Aggies7
    "we've had no reports" lol that's my point. you won't get those reports. is it really a strawman to point out how unlikely it is that 30 some odd people from incredubly varied backgrounds in 32 clubhouses are ALL going to be in total agreement about this? come on, that's a bit naive sure, some opinions can be disregarded, but i highly suspect, like some here have done, that you lump all opinions that aren't 100% in agreement with this in a certain category that might start with the letter R
  14. Aggies7
    unfortunately in 2020 you can't hold an "unpopular" or "controversial" opinion without being thrown to the wolves, called the R word, or told you're "on the wrong side of history". that's why everyone just goes along with it and doesn't make any waves. I would be SHOCKED if everyone in each clubhouse held the same opinion about the last few days. You have guys from literally all over the world, some from third world countries where everyday, just trying to live is literally life and death...surely you have guys with LEO's in their family or inner circle...you can't tell me everyone is going to be on the same page. Yet no one says anything because you'll be cast into the fire. I applaud any player who goes the extra mile to improve the situation, but postponing a game is simply a hollow gesture and does not impress me. not that anyone needs my approval, just sayin'
  15. Aggies7
    Lol it’s totally fine to have a “negative” opinion on the guy...I must have missed his coronation?
  16. Aggies7
    He has tens of millions of dollars in endorsements, and is clearly set up better than had he stayed in the league as a backup qb. He’s not living under a bridge..
  17. Aggies7
    And the other guys who were the forerunners of kneeling are still in the league... Although they didn’t wear socks of a cartoon pig in a cop hat while at a team practice so i don’t know
  18. Aggies7
    He opted out of his contract and is doing far better now through endorsements than he would have actually having to play in the league. The farce he pulled when he got a tryout showed how serious he was about playing.
  19. Aggies7
    The ownership can feel good The players can feel good No one had to do much heavy lifting Life resumes tomorrow Activism in 2020
  20. Aggies7
    They’re on the same page because literally none of them have anything to lose. Fans aren’t allowed in the stadium this whole year, so any fan boycotts aren’t going to be felt until maybe next year, if people even still care by then. The clubs would take a beating if they disciplined their players. Sponsors would pull out. The players get a night off, a days pay and no fines. It’s an empty gesture when there’s no skin in the game
  21. Aggies7
    These current players probably won’t see any ramifications from some fans not watching. Now if sponsors pulled out, , and they won’t, that would be another story. But it would take a while for some fans turning away to make an impact
  22. Aggies7
    Because there would be consequences for most people if they decided not to show up for work. At the very least they probably wouldn’t get paid for the day. But we’re supposed to be in awe that a pro athlete did something that cost them nothing? Maybe if they went out in the community to help in some way, but really they’re just in their hotel rooms chilling out.
  23. Aggies7
    EXACTLY. There won’t be consequences. They’ll play the DH tomorrow and no big deal. The players will feel like they did something, the ownership will look good for not disciplining, and everyone wins. Now had you or I told our boss we weren’t coming in to work, and not using time off, what would the response be?
  24. Aggies7
    You mention the fans not being at the games and when I saw the various teams choosing not to play, I wonder how this would have been received by management, in a normal season where fans were allowed into games. I’m going to go ahead and assume it wouldn’t have been met as well as it seems to have been by the ownership. The players don’t lose pay, they don’t lose a game. Not real sure what the sacrifice is here
  25. Aggies7
    If 2020 has shown me anything, it's that, while I missed baseball from april-july, I found plenty of other things to do to fill the void. And as much as I love the game, it really wasn't all that bad. Developed some new hobbies. I don't know why it's such an absurd notion to expect to tune into a ball game and have 3 hours devoid of politics and preaching. Don't we have enough politics thrown at us from every direction, every day? Sports are ENTERTAINMENT, and I don't consume things that fail to entertain me. These athletes, and sports in general, are not essential to my living a happy life. God bless them for taking a stand, but if sports are going to be the next platform to succumb to the social justice/cause movement, I may be out. At least when the twins stink again
