    This looks like a great Round Table that will be interesting and beneficial to many. Looking forward to it.

    Interesting! I was going to mention the Muskies but I thought it would almost be too obscure for the discussion (silly me, of course there's someone here who knows about the Muskies). In my experience, Madison's a tough market for anything due to the incredibly popular university sports scene there. There's little room for anything else, I remember the Madison Mad Dogs arena football (or were they in the Indoor Football League?) and I covered a game or two of theirs as well. Again, just no room for them. With the Badgers losing their baseball team due to some Title IX reorganizing, and with the city continuing to grow, you'd think there would be some wiggle room for baseball there - but there just hasn't been.

    Good point. Madison WI has tried getting Indy baseball going for years, with several teams coming and going but nothing sticking. I personally covered the Madison Black Wolf for a season for the local rag back in the day, stadium was a ghost town.

    We can hear it.

    Is there a link where we can watch online? It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyPwrkPlCNs&feature=youtu.be

    Yeah I think the issue is that with no Sano or Buxton, Marwin can only cover one of those positions. I suppose Tortuga could play first base but he's also on the Covid-DL. Get used to it. Teams are going to have guys come down with Covid-19 all over the place, there are going to be tons of games where only half the roster is recognizable, I fear.

    Marwin plays right. Kepler moves to center.

    Should St. Paul become the Twins AAA team, I think it would be great in some ways and bad in others. Good for players - they don't have to move! They can go up and down, just take an Uber ride across town if they get called up. Super easy and strategic for the Twins, no more "he's on the plane from Rochester and maybe will make it to the ballpark by the 7th inning". On the other hand, let's say you're struggling and get sent down. Instead of taking a flight and getting to clear your head, you're right next door. I know if my work demoted me, I'd probably prefer to take a flight to Rochester to work with teammates there rather than just go down the hall and see the same folks on the elevator each day. Also, something about killing independent baseball in the cities seems wrong.

    Are you kidding? Rats.

    How crazy is that that Eddie Rosario hit 30+ HR and drove in 100 RBI and he's 13th on this list....and that's exactly where he should be. How depressing is it that this is the best Twins team, possibly ever, and they are going to miss getting a shot at a memorable season due to a once-in-a-lifetime world pandemic?

    "The best bullpen in baseball?" - uh, no. "A serviceable bullpen that might be decent if nobody regresses?" - more like it. How about Nick Gordon on that list? The guy was supposed to be the Next Big Thing and just can't seem to make it past that last step. Is development stalled? Will he ever be an MLB regular?
  12. bighat
    Came here to see if that had been posted yet. More details: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/07/padres-release-brian-dozier.html

    Buxton with a ringing double of Odorizzi! He smacked that one.

    What does this mean, any guesses? Going to see a simulated live game? Twins going to go 9-on-9 tonight?
  16. bighat
    Good question. Mixed messages and thoughts so far from various owners/teams: AZ Diamondbacks: “My expectation and our expectation is we are going to be playing our games this year without fans in the ballpark,” he said on Arizona Sports’ Burns & Gambo Wednesday. Chicago Cubs: “There was always a path to bring fans back into Wrigley — obviously a smaller group than would normally attend games,” Kenney said. “We do see that happening this year.” Houston Astros: "The intent at some point is to get the fans into the ballpark,” Crane said. St. Louis Cards: “I don’t know if fans will be able to go a baseball game in this abbreviated season. It seems unlikely today,” said St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson.

    Good: wow what a break against Cleveland, 7 home games vs just 3 away. Bad: Six against the Brewers, arguably the best team in the NL Central. Thoughts: How much does home field matter when there are no fans? Surely it will still make a difference, but not as much this year?
  18. bighat
    Someone on the Twins facebook batting practice feed said Sano was the other positive Twin. Just passing it on, total speculation.
  19. bighat
    I agree, the Cleveland Spiders would be simply awesome.
  20. bighat
    Get well soon, Willians.
  21. bighat
    Thanks for this series! Great stuff.
  22. bighat
    Not a chance there's going to be any fans at games this year.
  23. bighat
    Fair enough, after reading that I agree with you.
  24. bighat
    If the initial extra inning runner on 2B scores, I don't think he should get credit for a "RUN". He didn't do anything to get there, in fact he made the last out in the 9th.

    Is "growing in popularity" the only thing we care about? The NBA is popular. It's not even a sporting event anymore, it's a place you take 12 year-olds for birthday parties.
