  1. My understanding was payroll was going to settle at 130M this season, then learn its actually closer to 117...I could be wrong but recall Feb article here abt that issue. Org gets a covid pass this year. But not 2022. Not just FA's, but ownership needs willingness to commit to their own (Berrios), and take on mlb salary in trades to improve roster. If not, Twins will be nibbling around the edges of mediocrity for a long time.
  2. Sort of like when Juan Marichal took a bat to John Roseboro's head because the return throw to the pitcher was too close....ahhh, those halcyon days gone by
  3. Mechanic: "Sorry, I couldn't fix your brakes, so I made your horn louder "
  4. Imagine somebody flippin the bat against Gibson.....
  5. He started the game at 7.07. At least one thing is looking up.....
  6. Watching Twins tonight is like enjoying a mouthful of brussel sprout pie...a root canal without novacaine.....a dull razor blade run under the toenails....
  7. American Legion ball is fun. There are some cool stadiums in Mn to have a close up seat. My car took a foul ball to the hood two summers ago while at a game in Marshall. The dent was worth it. Great fun.
  8. This is knows as visual bias: that is, seeing something in a repetitive manner, sans data processing, in turn inducing a natural idea: Example: for the professional hitter, seeing the entire infield defense on one side or the other of 2nd, a thought might occur that it would be best to try to hit the ball to the other side of the field. Modern algorithms have difficulty with this simple but apparently efficient way of dealing with the famed infield shift.
  9. Beautiful....maybe the best inva long line of excellence . Needed the laugh today-felt great, thank you!
  10. OK, so we are now onto the great RBI vs RBI's debate, and fella's, there is only one right answer here?: R'sBI. Runs is plural, always has been, always will be. We are not talking intestinal distress here, but moving multiple runners across home plate over time. An argument may be made to move the possessive to the end, after In, but, for consistency, I prefer it remain where it rightfully belongs, proximate to the noun it so modifies, hence, R's it is. I have dutifully notified MLB of the same and expect full compliance forthrightly, in about the same time frame as the sticky stuff disappears from pitching gloves.
  11. I like the idea of exploring the possibilities next month, have felt for some time he provides most value of reasonably tradeable assets. Agree with others here, Twins FO unlikely to pay him if he continues to pitch well. There is a larger point here of the inscrutable economics of MLB, and why most franchises like Twins are forced to constantly shed elite players. Maddening. The Pressly trade hurt this team..he would have made a difference in playoffs. Now with Duran hurt and Celestino not ready for prime time, its just hard to both "keep the window" open while simultaneously re-tooling to shape the budget. Is what it is. Rogers might be an interesting target for a # of teams, and though not Pressly level, would more than likely bring an interesting offer or two. Might be better though to look to move him over the winter-would seem a better chance to receive MLB ready player in return in Dec than in July.
  12. Agree 100%. Question is does Berrios want to stay? Extend him this off season, if he doesnt want it then look to trade him b4 ST. He should be priority 1, Buxton 1A.
  13. Mid 5th, Seattle Win Probabiliy: 94%. We havent made it to our bullpen yet. Twins Win Probability: 0% The 6% lag is explained by the strikeouts, variety of mental midget plays, fielding follies, and pitching heartburn yet to come. Sigh.....
  14. Last season Twins risp was 2.60/game, which would be best in mlb this season. Now Twins are 24th at 3.60/g.
  15. Yes. All employers ought be required to have IL disability in addition to PTO. As much as you need to get back to 100%. I have a zit on my butt cheek, painful to sit at the desk. 14 days should clear it up. Much like bi-lateral leg weakness. As I told the boss, no sense in pushing through these things.
  16. Seattle's response to big inning potential was truly Twins-esque. We are not alone.
  17. Twins at 62% win probability in 1st....is this a 1st in 2021?
  18. And you have to ask WHO from the whole mix you expect to see on the roster in 2022, which is either a rebuilding year around a new crop of players, thus plugging in B-level free agents, of you do make a splash keeping Buxton and Berrios on the team, move Sano to DH and make Alex the 1B. Berrios contract status is the straw that stirs the roster make-up for 22 and beyond. I dont favor trading him now, but if he cant be extended, then he should go before ST. Extended or not, they will have to commit to finding front end SP's through the FA's, and hope a couple of the farm kids can fill 4-5. Berrios is not a #1, but he is the best we have for dependable, decent SP. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/06/twins-havent-recently-initiated-extension-talks-with-jose-berrios.html
  19. Fan base reacts as Dobby, Alex, and Matt enter, turning a run of the mill loss into yet another blowout...
  20. Oh-oh. There it is. Synchronicity. Now you will have to nod off in later innings of all future games against NYY. Failure and the resulting loss will be on your conscience forever. Bummer. On the positive side, sleeping is better than, say, having to don the same underwear without ever laundering, or overstepping cracks in the sidewalks a full 24 hours b4 each game. It is a burden to bear, but only you can do it. At least you can do it from your favorite chair, and know that we are all pulling for you.....counting on you.....no pressure.......and happy dreams! And thank you for delivering the victory?
