Why is zero not on the table here?

I wish I knew what's going on in the clubhouse after performances like this one.

Maybe the Twins could play the role of Washington Generals?

Interesting article. I hope that the Twins front office reads it.

Is it too late to ask for a refund on my $100?

Great article.

It would be nice if he showed more emotion when he strikes out.

Total system failure?

I am not giving up on the season today, but I have given up on this game. It seems to me that today would be a good day to have all of the batters try out the torpedo bats -- nothing to lose.

I wonder if the training staff is doing a good job keeping players stretched, loose and healthy.

I asked my AI program about this and here is its response: Hamstring injuries are common in baseball, especially for players who need to sprint frequently. Here are some effective strategies to help prevent them: Proper warm-up and stretching - Always include dynamic stretches focusing on the posterior chain before activities. Strength training - Develop balanced leg strength with exercises targeting the hamstrings, glutes, and core. Nordic hamstring curls, Romanian deadlifts, and glute bridges are particularly effective. Flexibility work - Incorporate regular flexibility training, including both dynamic and static stretching after workouts. Balance training - Add exercises that improve proprioception and stability, such as single-leg exercises. Running mechanics - Work with coaches to optimize running form to reduce stress on the hamstrings. Progressive conditioning - Gradually increase training intensity, especially during pre-season or after time off. Recovery management - Allow adequate recovery time between intense training sessions and use techniques like foam rolling, massage, and proper hydration. Listen to your body - Pay attention to early warning signs like tightness or mild discomfort and address them before they become injuries. Proper nutrition - Ensure adequate protein intake and overall nutrition to support muscle health and recovery. Regular assessment - Consider working with trainers or physical therapists for regular biomechanical assessments to identify and address imbalances before they cause problems.

I have a hunch that this will be a breakout year for Miranda.

Here is a link to an article ranking the Twins bullpen -- https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-power-rankings-picking-baseballs-top-10-bullpens-entering-the-2025-season/ I hope that Duran can throw better this season, and the Tigers and Guardians underperform.

It would be nice to have a new owner who can figure out how to better monetize the television rights, as well as increase attendance. I think that better attendance might generate more of a home field advantage, which would generate more wins, more attendance and more TV revenue.

BEFORE taxes, agent's fees etc.

This is encouraging news. Let's hope it works out.

I believe that it would be fairer if players in this situation were allocated by a lottery that includes teams that are willing to pay the maximum. In this case, I would expect all teams to join such lottery. I would give odds that he ends up with the Dodgers.

I wish him all the best.

Welcome to TD.

The format.

Their website looks a lot like TD.

I would speak with him to ask if he is open to such a trade. If he is open, then maybe a major market team might be willing to take the injury risk. Nothing to lose from asking.

It seems to me that the politicians should have made a better deal by insisting that the owners commit to pay a minimum payroll based on a percentage of gross income. I wonder if any other city has ever done something like that.

Moderator note - TD posting policy allows vigorous debate but not personal attacks.

Hopefully the Twins will get a good draft pick to partially compensate for this disappointing meltdown.
