    Not max effort repeatedly during a competitive stretch of games.
  2. nicksaviking
    And we've seen every one of them play 10x better. The ones that remain need a wake up call.
  3. nicksaviking
    Well Morneau was on that 2009 team which was basically just as of a scenario.
  4. nicksaviking
    Gladden and Provus arguing whether it's 1-19 or 2-19 with runners in scoring position. That's truly how I want to remember this season!
  5. nicksaviking
    I doubt that's even a record for the club this month.
  6. nicksaviking
    If only they hadn't already pulled Farmer for Lee. Way better choice to pitch.
  7. nicksaviking
    I agree. It's more fair if the Twins get to do that just like their opponent.
  8. nicksaviking
    You need to re-read the posting policies about filthy language sir.
  9. nicksaviking
    Heck no, we got a banana fork!
  10. nicksaviking
    We don't really have a town square though. Maybe hang them by their heels from the Spoon Bridge?
  11. nicksaviking
    I'm surprised that hasn't happened a dozen times already actually.
  12. nicksaviking
    Prove it.

    Are you aware this team employs a General Manager who makes decisions on who is acquired, promoted and demoted? As General Managers have done for the last 100 years? You really think Rocco Baldelli called up Cole Irnin's agent and said, "Hey, we want your guy and we're going to send down Alcala to accommodate that!"
  14. nicksaviking
    Ugh, Gladden says it's good baserunning holding Martin up, and I really don't want to take his word for it.
  15. nicksaviking
    Why? This is just a petty snipe, I know you know that Baldelli isn't in charge of roster moves.
  16. nicksaviking
    I've blinked like at least a dozen times during this game.
  17. nicksaviking
    Yeah, the guy with the .061 ERA and 70+ innings the last 3 seasons? Duran's at 52 innings. How many does he throw if he's only pitching the 9th with a lead? If he's the teams second best reliever why is he 4th in innings on this team? Behind Alcala even who keeps getting demoted. It's inefficient. Trade him and Lee or another young player and level up the rotation.
  18. nicksaviking
    This is 2024, you can't just save one relief pitcher for one specific occasion. Like it or not, starters go fewer innings and hitters are more specialized. You have to mix and match. And Jax is better than Duran. So if you have to give Duran the elite spots to pitch in, that means you're benching the better guy to do it.
  19. nicksaviking
    My god, Dallas should be beating this terrible Giants team by three scores. This is absolutely fantastic.
  20. nicksaviking
    If Duran can ONLY pitch in the 9th inning with a lead, than that's an extremely inefficient use of your bullpen. You're basically leaving yourself short handed in half of the games. Sorry for the NFL comparison, but it's like the Vikings letting their best defensive player leave (Danielle Hunter) because he was bad in pass coverage. They were able replace him with multiple players who were more versatile, and they're way better for it.
  21. nicksaviking
    Sorry, but every argument seems to stem from MLB having to be a slave to tradition while the NFL gets to embrace innovation. Tradition is going to kill MLB because there aren't enough people who care about such things anymore, and fewer and fewer every year. There's never been an industry that survived that didn't embrace new ideas, even if some of them didn't pan out.
  22. nicksaviking
    Alright a guy on 2B and 1 out. It's like the Twins in every extra inning game. They're experienced in this situation!
  23. nicksaviking
    Called it. Confirmed as unlikely.
  24. nicksaviking
    You know what would be the most unlikely thing to happen this year? Austin Marin hits a walk off homer. That's not a call, it's an observation.
  25. nicksaviking
    You can, but you'd be going about 75 miles too far, I'm the ND poster in Fargo.
