  1. I hate it too but..... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless
  2. I'm pretty surprised that anyone cares at all about Spring Training stats. I feel like every single year either the concerns from slow starters or the helium on someone knocking the stiches off the ball wind up largely looking really silly by April 30th.
  3. I just switched to AT&T from Hulu and really like it. $85 is ridiculous since we primarily watch baseball and the Wild and little else. But I have nothing better to do and the $4 million I saved by not drinking beer at bars in 2020 is burning a hole in my pocket.
  4. As usual in March hope springs eternal. So I'm expecting 190 IP, 3.25 and 1.10 ERA/WHIP with 200 strikeouts. Now as with most Minnesota sports fans there is that one part of your brain that refuses to be brainwashed and insists on trying to counterbalance the brainwashed part of your brain. So that part of my brain sees 100 IP with a sore something or other in there and a 4.50 ERA 1.50 WHIP. I hate that part of my brain and it hates me. So I'm still going with the hopeful projection.
  5. "Mountain Dew or Crab Juice." "Blecch! Ew! Sheesh! I'll take a crab juice."
  6. 1-877-kars for kids k-a-r-s kars for kids. donate your car today. Sorry, just trying to get something in my head that is less annoying than watching this baseball team try to hit.
  7. Is it? I admittedly don't look at these stats that often but it appears Eddie's hard hit % is the 2nd highest of his career.
  8. I don't know, he drives me crazy sometimes and I really want to see Kiriloff and more of Rooker but Eddie isn't quite as bad as you're making him out to be. His improvement this year as far showing more patience seems real. And if his BABIP were normal (.300-ish is normal where Eddie is at .235) I think his slashline would be fairly impressive. His defense is terrible though and that just doesn't make sense.
  9. The problem with this is that Cruz doesn't bat leadoff. He can't hit the first homerun if Kepler hits one first. So my answer is Kepler.
  10. Listening to LaTroy talk about Alcala right there made me feel things.
  11. I think they got it from MLB The Show on PS4.
  12. The crowd noise already feels really natural, I was worried about that. I'm just so happy to have baseball. Low bar to clear but this is one of the best nights in a long time.
  13. Aaron Sabato is a great baseball name. Say that name out loud and you can imagine he's Clu Heywood like masher.
  14. I don't have particularly high hopes for either but Gordon should at least be close to ready (if he ever will be, which was maybe your point). 160+ games at AAA and he actually had a better year last year than I would've thought. That said I would imagine Adrianza is next up if Arraez were injured.
  15. "Maybe my wife and I will have a good long life together" he said right after the wedding "Or maybe she will start cheating on me with my brother and my car will explode leaving me horribly scarred and I'll get fired from my job and my dog will leave me after finding a better family and all of my limbs will start to aggressively rot away." You Minnesota Sportsfanned the HELL out of that man! It's not even March!
  16. It's not frivolous at all, there is inarguable evidence of wrongdoing and putting all of the evidence in public light and trying to hold the players accountable not only has value but seems pretty clearly the right thing to do. To me the ONLY reason not to do that is you want the story out of the news cycle asap. If there was video evidence of players injecting themselves with steroids I would bet that even Selig wouldn't have given the players immunity. This whole thing is very sad and Marwin Gonzalez is the first Twins player that I have ever disliked.
  17. This guy is often full of nonsense, apparently.
  18. No man, don't let the Minnesotaness take over. We can enjoy things!
  19. Love the enthusiasm but that is not how international spending works.
  20. If they still trade for Jon Gray or someone who is a top 3 arm in our rotation, sure fine, extra arms can't hurt. If not this is exactly opposite of what they said they were doing and just continued the tradition of dumpster diving and disappointing Twins fans. I trusted Falvine and this is annoying.
  21. Most of us have spent a lot of money on the team. I have anyway. Season ticket holder, too many jerseys for an adult man to be proud of, lots of other swag, All Star Game, you name it. If it's now taboo to expect/hope your team spends some money to make them better I find that very, very silly.
  22. As much as I love baseball is equal to the amount I hate baseballs unwritten rules. I disagree entirely with the notion that Jake Cave owes anyone anything. He is a hitter and he got a hit, if you don't like throw better pitches. I don't believe in throwing at players in any circumstance, it's dangerous and childish. That said I hope the Twins throw inside a lot more than necessary tonight and then throw down a bunt single followed by a steal when they're up by 10.
