    None of that has anything to do with forcing Buxton off CF or artificially reducing his PT.
  2. KirbyDome89
    Yeah I don't think we're there yet.
  3. KirbyDome89
    It's been inconsistent high in the zone all game.
  4. KirbyDome89
    I'll add Celestino to the list with Lewis. Urshela and Sanchez are soaking up ABs high in the order while being nearly black hole status. I don't think there's much to lose by bumping some of the kids up.
  5. KirbyDome89
    No, it wasn't. TX and NY were acquiring players with the expectation they continued to produce similarly to '21.
  6. KirbyDome89
    Cleveland broadcast already starting to blame Covid and the suspended game for their start.
  7. KirbyDome89
    Does Sanchez the DH hit better than Sanchez the C?
  8. KirbyDome89
    Playing the results game by game is a roller coaster. There was plenty of fluff when the Twins were coming off that 9-1 stretch too. In general, analysis would ideally split the middle and be more objective. In fairness though, I don't think there's any other way to spin the Sanchez/Urshela start as awful.

    Sure, the swap reaches beyond just this year, but the bulk of it affects '22. I don't think it was a chose A or B situation in regard to Correa and Donaldson. The trade was sold as the Twins buying low on Sanchez and Urshela. To date, each has been even worse than their low points in NY. It's hard to say the Twins have gained much other than money off the books in '23, and quick math says there should be plenty of that with or without Donaldson. The Twins have maybe broken even at C, though I'd note that Garver had a similarly rough start last year and still ended up posting pretty good numbers, and they've seemingly downgraded at 3B. It's hard to say the they've gained much other than money off the books next year (which there could/should be plenty of with or without Donaldson,) and that's assuming it's being spent wisely, if it's even spent at all.

    "It was a fine move to swap out Josh Donaldson. His place in the clubhouse may not have been ideal." Anything to support the bolded @Ted Schwerzler? Player statements, staff interviews, anecdotal interactions, whatever? This is the second time, on a front page article, that you've implied he was a clubhouse malcontent.
  11. KirbyDome89
    To be clear, the Twins saved something like $10-12M in the swap with NY. So, roughly the difference in payroll between this season and last. That trade didn't suddenly unlock the ability to sign Correa to what's essentially a 1 year $35M deal. Can that notion please die now? Correa and Sano are almost certainly gone next year, there's $45M. This FO isn't spending on pitching, and they've made that clear. Every defensive position has either a vet locked into a team friendly deal, or a talented young player pushing through. Paying an aging Donaldson isn't the albatross it's being painted as.

    Thank God nobody hit a HR off him
  13. KirbyDome89
    Yaaaaaassssss a position player on the mound. Let's see if we can find something to get mad at Houston about.
  14. KirbyDome89
    Not sure if the Twins consistently threatening but failing to capitalize is encouraging or disturbing....
  15. KirbyDome89
    Would love to see Lewis and/or Celestino bumped up in the lineup for game 2, although the "double leadoff," thing might be just as advantageous.
  16. KirbyDome89
    Totally fair, my point is that if we're talking about Jeffers as one of the top catchers in baseball and anointing the prospects as "arrived," after 30 odd games then it's ok to poke holes based on SSS as well.
  17. KirbyDome89
    I pointed out the Sox thing as well as the incredibly soft 50ish games to start the year but that's been outlawed. To an extent I get it, this is so much better than last year, but it's also ok to, ya know, state what's clearly happening in front of our eyes.
  18. KirbyDome89
    Careful, the SSS crew might find this post. Seriously though, it's funny how that argument only seems to apply to one side.
  19. KirbyDome89
    Dude is taking a beating right now
  20. KirbyDome89
    Anybody else not have power right now?
  21. KirbyDome89
    At their own peril....
  22. KirbyDome89
    It's like a switch flips right now. He just starts tumbling and just picks up momentum
  23. KirbyDome89
    I'm going to be "that guy," and wonder aloud why Sanchez is hitting in the 3 spot
  24. KirbyDome89
    Archer looks like he might break 4.1 IP
  25. KirbyDome89
    Nope, I'm just not putting as much stock into the first 50 games which happen to be the softest part of the schedule. Grain of salt =/= dismiss.
