    Who goes more innings today, SWR or Correa and Buxton?
  2. nicksaviking
    I don't get why it's not fair to the players though. One guy goes down, but correspondingly, another guy comes up. Why aren't we happy for that guy instead? This only happens because of the goofy mascot kind of situation Dobnak is in. Also happened with the 'He's back after all these years!" human interet story of Michael Tonkin too. I bet I won't find a thread like this last year for Daniel Durate, Caleb Boushely or Diego Castillo though.

    I'm not hopeful. These things don't usually turn around without significant overhaul and shake up. I'm not mad, I've accepted it and I'm just biding my time.

    If what I was doing last year didn't work, maybe I just have to do it again this year and it will work.

    I don't think he's a terribly good manager. He's average to below average at best. I don't blame him for everything like most do, but his style, particularly on offense, is grating, boring and now ineffective. Maybe he didn't need to be fired "long ago", but certainly at the end of last year. That team clearly got stale and things no longer were working offensively. Same thing happened with Gardenhire. It was obvious when things got stale when he was in charge and ownership refused to acknowledge or care and kept him on for years after. He should have been let go even if it was just to shake things up.

    Twins: "Hey Randy, you pitched well, but now you're out of commission for the better part of a week, and we both know that's an issue for a relief pitcher. Will you be offended if we remove you from the 26-man so we can add someone to hopefully get us a win finally?" Dobnak: "No, that doesn't offend me, I want to win too. What offends me is that you think my ego is so fragile that you thought this would be an issue."

    Pretty sure you missed the point of the post. The Twins would have been stupid if they would let him waste a roster spot they couldn't use for 3-4 days. What you mean is the Twins callousness knows no bounds. Which is also wrong. Dobnak has been paid a MLB salary for several years now; being removed from the 26-man is hardly the indignity being presented here. So what? Players are always removed from the 26-man all the time. Keeping him on to cater to his ego (I doubt it bothers him, it probably just bothers the Dobnak fans actually) would be a slap in the face to the other 25 players who presumably prefer to win games over playing favorites.

    You know your game is over when the announcers spend the whole inning celebrating how the right fielder is so good at getting behind routine flyballs. Also, I'm done listening to you guys complain about Morneau. As an announce he is perfectly in sync with this boring, pointless, underwhelming and unwatchable team.
  9. nicksaviking
    Perfect game ruined! Eat it Perez!!!!
  10. nicksaviking
    Morneau: "The Twins haven't hit yet this year because of the weather." I will let the rest of you dissect that statement.
  11. nicksaviking
    Ha! Provus just said Baldelli is waiting to present Gaspar with his 'first career hit' ball until after the Twins win, because that's what they always do?!?! Sounds more like a threat than a reward.
  12. nicksaviking
    Farm systems are irrelevant when you can continually sign top free agents like France and Bader.
  13. nicksaviking
    I see no evidence of a plan.
  14. nicksaviking
    What's next year's draft class look like?
  15. nicksaviking
    I'm not going to advocate for or against anyone. I'm just an advocate for changing as soon as things start to look stale. Which from my view was about June of last year.
  16. nicksaviking
    I was ready to move on from Ron Gardenhire years before the Twins were, but he's exactly the kind of guy they need back. Fiery and animated but great with the players and media and someone who understood the need for giving young players a long leash because the future of the club was going to depend on getting a legit evaluation of them.
  17. nicksaviking
    And the 'platoon righty' they brought in to spell them can only bat as high as 8th in a terrible lineup?
  18. nicksaviking
    I think Baldelli should have been fired long ago. I don't think he's a good manager in the slightest. My point is, the posters that demand everything said about the manager be a scathing take down, make the rest of us who have rational takes look crazy too.
  19. nicksaviking
    I don't think it's over-reacting, but not for the largely valid points listed above that I agree with. The fan base has become increasingly disinterested in this team and it has for several years now. And this team has gotten off to slow starts for several years now. Playing winning baseball from Day 1 should have been imperative if only to put eyes on the product. They failed again; this team is never ready to compete when the season starts like the other clubs are despite the team absolutely needing to generate excitement in this first series.
  20. nicksaviking
    Well there are plenty of people on this site that would write a flaming dissertation about how vile the manager is if he was caught jaywalking. Because of this, Baldelli criticisms are not typically taken seriously by the general population because the Neanderthal luddites DO undercut any legit critique by the rest of us posters who will take a more objective view on the matter. So yeah, to be taken seriously and not lumped in with the knee-jerk pitchfork crowd, the rest of us are forced to couch any negativity with, 'I'm not one of them, but Baldelli was wrong to do X and Y yesterday'.
  21. nicksaviking
    That works for me. It's not like the non-40 man options in AAA and the options on the waiver wire tend to be any different.
  22. nicksaviking
    I too would like to sell may share of the Twins. I'm asking for market value of $100.00 or you can pay me $19.99 per month for five months. Upon payment I will give you my password.
  23. nicksaviking
    It does often feel like he's talking to these guys....
  24. nicksaviking
    Jay Jackson to retire: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ The Twins sure do seem to sign a lot of free agents one year that no other team will sign to a MLB contract the following year. Or even a MiLB contract in this case.
  25. nicksaviking
    I'm not good at this stuff, but I can cast from my phone. I'm saying if the Twins are going to charge for this service, casting should not be the primary way to do this.
