  1. If Twins played in AL East we'd be competing for #1 draft pick.
  2. Agree it had to be the WS. Thats the story. And of course MLB Corporate, er, Yankees, had to be there. Watching that video almost gave me warm fuzzies for Yanks. Almost. The game was made perfect when the Yanks went down in excruciating fashion, stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. Any team that beats the Yankees is my 2nd favorite team that day. And loved the throwback scoreboard. What a money saver for future ballparks.
  3. Great article Stu, as usual. I never knew Lefty trafficked in conspiracy theories. Learn something new every day! As for Simmons, I honestly wasnt sure what he was trying to say, other than it seemed odd, to say the least. As a BB guy, his defense still plays, too bad the offense has gone missing....which leads me to this suggestion for a new rule/look/model for MLB. The new rule proposal is this: Teams get a Designated Fielder, to be designated before each game by mgr decision, variable position, This also means one additional DH, and it would also mean the NL adopting the DH rule. Whew, it's a reach I know, but I have actually backed off my initial impulse, which was baseball rosters be structured like football, with a dedicated 9 on offense/ 9 on defense. I may be crazy, but I am not an extremist! Great gibbons, two DH's and one DF would be a better product. A guy like Simmons can do what he does, as long as he stays on whatever meds are needed, and the rest of us are spared the pain of having to watch him take an AB. Even better, we are spared the terror of watching the likes of Willie Norwood, Josh Willingham, or Luis Arraez, et al, try to track a hooking fly ball in the LF corner. Who do I contact at MLB to get the ball rolling on this, this needs to happen in 2022? ?
  4. ?What a surprise to logon and see Twins not only played a game this afternoon....who knew?....but won a 1-0 pitching duel. Didnt even dream of 1-0 and Twins being in the same sentence. Good for Ober and the BP. Great to see them have success against quality competition. Sadly, Yankees won. KC is oficially looking over their collective shoulders as Twins close in on 4th place.
  5. So if you take the first letter of the last name of our 4-5-6 batters, you get GAS .....so if nothing else, we can at least threaten Keuechel with getting gassed by our power trio....
  6. Spot on. It's a long way up between these pitching staffs. Can Austin Martin pitch? Now Im just being pissy. But honestly, hard to know what direction this organization is going when we trade our sole true #2 SP for a IF/LF who knows what and a guy who maybe is a SP prospect and maybe is a SP suspect....hard to tell the difference these days. Yeah, I'm just being pissy.
  7. Or, is Polanco a tradeable piece of a package for SP over the winter? Still leaves SS open. But it feels like a better possibility in Twinsworld to sign a quality FA SS than quality FA SP.
  8. St Jude or St Rocco, ! maybe both, gave Kep a lift today. Nice to see him have solid contact
  9. Colome throws all sliders. Nice idea. And Twins are now at 100% win probability. Twins win, Rays win , Yankees lose....alli all, this was a good afternoon
  10. Can Twins BP record 6 outs b4 alliwing 3 runs? Win probability has decreased after Astros scored 4th run. 3 run lead in 8th is a nailbiter these days.
  11. Getting back to Jake Cave, there is this today: Luis Gil is first pitcher in the modern era (since 1900) with 14+ K, fewer than 10 Baserunners and 0 Runs allowed in his first 2 career MLB games. 5 shutout innings today vs Seattle. Sigh... Good news is NYY still lost 2-0.
  12. Twins now at 93% win probability, which is exactly 7% less than my needing to pee b4 the next inning.
  13. The win probability just went from 66% Astros to 65% Twins. We're getting robbed if that 1%.
  14. Did someone win the KwikTrip triple bonus?
  15. Ernie or Bert, Cave or Wade, Sano or Ruth, they are all jumbled together these days?
  16. Me thinks Bert will have better luck peddling his 9's than Max will have batting 250
  17. Now it might be a couple of years before fans know if the team indeed won or lost the 2021 trade deadline. This statement sums it up. Open minded but skeptical on the Berrios trade. Wonder who is going to fill out the SP rotation next year? Wonder if keeping Pineda means they are re-signing him? Shocked SLC would take Happ. That was a stunner. Maybe they see him a LOOGIE. If nothing else, at least between Joe Ryan and Austin Martin we now have some of the very best hair-do's in MiLB. Wonder if FO will provide team stylist when these guys get their shot at the Bigs?
  18. No doubtTD gameday thread community can contribute copiously to a class action suit.
