I'm fine with him going back to Texas if the Twins don't sign him. I'd rather that than Yankees, Cubs or Dodgers. -
I might still go see it as Daniel Day Lewis has said this was his last movie. Side story, when the CSO made the soundtrack for Lincoln, both Spielberg and Daniel Day Lewis were there during recording. Was pretty cool.
-
That's what I have basically said from the beginning ... look at EVERYTHING and adjust accordingly. The proposal are just so ... well, seem so one-sided to me.
-
But how many pitchers are truly that slow? I don't think that that is a rampant problem, maybe in just a few instances ... so we make everyone play a certain way because of the small handful out there? I'm more annoyed with the time between half innings and innings to make way for ads and other folly ... and that is an issue whether I'm at home or in person. Edit: that list you posted wasn't about slow pitchers, specifically ... there were a couple in there noted for their slow delivery, but otherwise it was a list of 'painful to watch' for a host of other reasons.
-
I'm in agreement with you there. If the pace of game is a problem, then look at EVERYTHING. The pace of play isn't just from a player standpoint and if I were a player, I'd have a problem with some of these rule changes for that reason.

This is part of my problem. I don't mind some adjustment, but looking for all of it to come from the play of game itself instead of some of the external causes just seems to be, well, self-serving on the part of ownership. Sorry, but ads are out of control, as is all the extra folly. Lessening the actual play time and not the other stuff just doesn't sit well with me.

Which pitchers don’t try anymore? I always thought that Twins pitchers did a pretty good job of that, better than most, especially Gibson. He’s a pretty good fielding pitcher. But yeah, Kaat was great at that.

I drew the line for myself after a poster suggested he posted the photo for leverage. Other than that, in the absence of anything concrete ... and, actually, in absence of even a whisper from Yu himself ... all we are left with is to speculate based on photos posted on instagram. I'm just offering a counter to the interest. I saw the tweet myself and wondered ... as I said ... in the absence of anything concrete ... Leaving us up to our own devices ... is that a good thing?
-
I think some of you are reading too much into a photo he posted on instagram of him and friends gathered for an evening.
-
He lives in Texas. And likely some of his former teammates do as well. And likely many are in town preparing for Texas' fan fest this coming weekend. But, maybe he's waiting until then to announce he's rejoining the Rangers. At this point, no one knows anything, and I give Yu and his agent a lot of credit for that ... keeping it pretty quiet ... even though it is MADDENING!
-
I think he already has ... but ... not sure that will be the tie breaker
-
He has a home there.
-
I’m guessing 3 weeks at the latest.

Um, how are Darvish, an established and experienced front end MLB pitcher, and Nishi, a one-time, pseudo Japanese 'star' who could never make it in the MLB, even related and worthy of being mentioned in the same conversation?
-
Omg ... so sad I won’t be able to go!
-
Okay ... trending up ... now let’s get Darvish done
-
Or creating his own with this response to a random Yankee fan telling him to come be a Yankee. https://twitter.com/faridyu/status/951954097174966272?ref_src=twcamp%5Eshare%7Ctwsrc%5Em5%7Ctwgr%5Eemail%7Ctwcon%5E7046%7Ctwterm%5E0 Does that mean he’s narrowing the list and the Yankees are off it?
-
Yeah, I wondered if his retweet wasn’t just him being him and having a bit of fun.
-
The minor league coverage is what sets TD apart from anywhere else to talk Twins. Now when I go down to Fort Myers for ST and I talk with those around me about, ‘Oh yeah, he’s such and such and so and so’ and sound completely brilliant! It’s all thanks to TD!
-
You forgot to mention our current Canadians ... Landon Leach. (I don’t know if there are other MiLBers from Canada, but I know he is.)
-
I find that kind of funny ... narrowed down to? Those are the only teams I’ve heard who have shown any kind of real interest. To me that list is a recap of suiters, not a narrowed down list. Narrowed down would be down to two.
-
That deserved a full out LOL. And Millhouse is the perfect depiction of Chief in the picture.

I hadn’t thought of that, and it could be, but I’m thinking not. But I really don’t know. I think the Ohtani sweepstakes just threw everything off this year making this an atypical year. But then again, it’s weird that only ... what was it someone posted, only 30% of FA have signed this year? Not sure how that compares to other years. And I’m not sure your Morris example would be considered recent ... are there other examples that comes to the collective mind?
