    Knew it was satire because it's completely unrealistic to have them relegated to anything above the Midwest League.

    From years of playing slow-pitch softball, I found the biggest problems with my back were caused by swinging a bat (and the biggest problems my back caused were with my swing.) I never felt strain on my back while on defense. The thing that took me out of defense is my knees. I gave up playing about 15 years ago - now I umpire (HS baseball.)

    I just came to see which one was going to not hit lefthanded during the IL stints.

    Every time I want to gripe about a trade I force myself to remember that I was absolutely against this trade. I thought Kielty was going to be very good and was probably as good as Stewart right then. Sometimes I still gripe about the trade, but I'm a bit more careful about it now.

    You should know that's not the Twins fan way. Let’s all get irrationally worried about Matt Wallner's spring training stats a year after what started as a lousy spring ended up with a demotion by mid-April.

    Knowing what we know now, I'd make the trade again. The Rangers probably would, too.

    For some reason I attached my brother-in-law's voice to that comment. It was eerily accurate. (He has lived his whole life in the Twin Cities area. I lived there for 9 months. The first 9 months.)

    From the MLB site: A Rule 5 Draft pick can be placed on the Major League injured list, but he must be active for a minimum of 90 days to avoid being subject to the aforementioned roster restrictions in the next campaign. There's a bit of a loophole, but it isn't that big. I can't think of any blatant abuses that I have heard about.

    That should become a thing.

    I'll have what you're drinking. Make mine a double - maybe that will get Coulombe the Cy Young.

    It sounds like you just had a mild case. You should be fine as long as you don't click this link.

    Two things that will have no connection to the Twins come October?

    It's almost like the front office was reading here and said, "That's a great idea."

    We're going to try to get $15 for it. It used to blend about 10 years ago and we are hoping someone will remember that and take a chance that they can get it to work again. The 8.49 model has never blended and is not likely to do so in the future.

    Unfortunately, the law says you must have something in the blender spot on the counter.

    I'm In Oklahoma, so we are blacked out for Texas, KC, Houston, and I think St Louis, too. Hoping that changes, but it probably won't.

    The supposed sightings of intangibles here tend to be as credible as those of bigfoot. It's usually not as bad as the Moneyball ugly girlfriend discussion, but it's close. The one area where it tends to be useful is on the value of defense at various positions. Even that might not be intangibles, but the stats that make it tangible are less accessible or less understandable for average fans.

    Hopefully we can get someone else to pay Vazquez $10M to not hit so we can pay someone $800K to do the same.

    The White Sox were bad on a historical level. The Twins won about 8 games fewer than expected, and other teams were better than expected. The Twins finished 4th, 10.5 games out of 1st. The White Sox were 41 games behind the Twins. The Twins were 16 games behind the Dodgers, who had the best record in baseball. The White Sox were 20 games behind the Rockies, who were the 2nd-worst team in baseball. Let's keep some perspective. The Twins were disappointing. The White Sox were embarrassing.

    I thought Radke, too, but it was conservative rating of Ober, not disrespect for Radke, that made the author not list Radke.

    Hopefully those are the Twins we get, not these:

    They really need to string those together now. I'd prefer to not have the season in the balance when the Orioles come to town for the final three games.

    I'm glad the Twins won because I ate my chicken in advance,

    It was the pant legs pulled up to the knees that did it.

    Here is the correct link. If your link was accurate, it would have been the worst trade in baseball history. 🙂 https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsra03.shtml
