    Gameday must be wrong. They didn't just try to leg out a 0 outs triple while down by 9?
  2. Shaitan
    Looks like Gordon is an infielder this year.
  3. Shaitan
    The win is okay, I guess. But the #9 hitter should've gone 7-for-7.

    lol at people complaining about short starts on Opening Day. A lot has changed in baseball, but it's March. Pitchers aren't ramped up yet. And it's been that way for most of my 40+ years on this planet.

    Trade to the Mets or Giants?

    Twins Bench Coach 2024.
  7. Shaitan
    He looked good in a tiny sample last April, but I don't think he moves the needle either way. Now he gets a MLB job. Good for him.

    Exactly. I read his comment as throwing unnecessary shade at 2 pitchers who aren't there anymore, saying "These guys didn't mind not pitching late in games (which was the manager's call, but they should've whined about it too)." And maybe I'm wrong. Whatever. It's just a quote in the sports pages. There will be a new one tomorrow. I generally don't read much into these kinds of things.

    A good manager adapts to the roster, so we'll see what happens this year. I read Gray's comments as a direct insult to last year's pitchers: not their talent, but their mindset or work ethic. Which...even if I agree with his point, it feels like he's needlessly throwing some people under the bus. He comes across as a jerk to me, not a leader.

    Sanchez and Pineda surprise me. The others...not so much. Various health or age concerns with many.
  11. Shaitan
    This article raises more questions than it answers, honestly. What are the other 14 teams they own (do they own multiple in the same league)? Is this corporate approach common in indie ball? I've thought the move from indie to Twins affiliate was an odd step given the Saints' history. I wonder if Goldklang will soon get back into non-affiliate leagues. Or maybe they're just cashing the check from a publicly financed stadium and easing into early retirement.

    Speaking on Gallo, I thought one-year contracts didn't meet the terms for a QO. Or was that the previous CBA? Either way, his bounceback is a longshot... This stuff is still fun to nitpick.
  13. Shaitan
    The way pitchers get paid, it's almost a no brainer to give a QO to most starters. They're unlikely to take it. Plus, you've given me a trolling theme to root for Pagan now.
  14. Shaitan
    Did anybody sign Sanchez?
  15. Shaitan
    What's your source that he has been out of shape previously?
  16. Shaitan
    You can get in shape on the back fields without playing 3 innings of simulated baseball, which is all starters have ever really played in ST. It's also still quite early, so there's ample time to ramp up action. It's different by position, of course, but for hitters the biggest acclimation is usually timing. And they can work with their own team on that without live game action.

    I just came here to say those are the ugliest baseball uniforms I've ever seen. Even worse than the camo Padres.
  18. Shaitan
    I'm talking about the next offseason, when they cut him? Or did they "sell" him back to the KBO? I honestly don't remember. But even then, teams could have offered a trade.
  19. Shaitan
    Gallo has a "wide stance", you say... 😜
  20. Shaitan
    I want to believe he could has thrived with more time. But no other teams offered him a contract after the Twins, which is telling. They definitely have been scouts than me.
  21. Shaitan
    I hope they don't call him up. What about those AAAA players on the fringe of the 40-roster. They're probably all the next David Ortiz or Liam Hendriks. /s
  22. Shaitan
    Exactly. Players seem to perform better when they earn a position vs being handed it. Not unlike most things in life.
  23. Shaitan
    Look up what the Twins gave up to acquire Farmer. They aren't much in return. Good teams have starter quality backups. Farmer is a perfect fit for this team right now and the Twins can always reevaluate at the trade deadline.

    I understand the value of multimedia, but please identify the medium in the headline, at minimum. Personally, I'm never going to watch these. I prefer to keep the sound off while using devices and I don't find watching people talking to their phones to be interesting.
  25. Shaitan
    Stadium radar guns are a marketing tool, not a coaching tool, correct? I'd love to see an independent study on that. Though I'm sure MLB wouldn't allow it.
