    Dang, 3 more it's a draw, and Tortuga could have pitched the 10th. Always tomorrow!

    We need a forfeit rule.

    This is getting at the gist of the universal vs. the particular in stat's. 2 runs down in the 9th may be a 93% probability generally. But in a specific game situation, it is not, for most MLB teams, insurmountable. Bringing in the new guy to get beat down in the 9th just added another layer of sheer gloss lipstick to this pig of a season. IMHO this team has grown far too accustomed to assuming the loss in late game adverse situations,, and plays accordingly, from the manager on down.

    They should wear their wpa from their last game as the uni # for the next game.

    It was close until the 1st inning.

    I was out watering and remembered the game so I checked my phone -- and thought 13 - 0 in the third inning has to be some sort of phone glitch. I then took the dog for a short walk and checked again -- and then checked how half glass full vs glass half empty the game thread was and realized - the score was not an error with my phone. Whatever your canine companion left for that pickup bag is a fitting metaphor for this season.

    What' more painful, watching Twins pitchers in action or imagining what if felt like when Garver took one to the tender parts? I'm on the fence with this one.........

    Let's give this guy a try, he'd fit right in: Pitching.webp

    If it were only trading the salary, an argument could be made, But makes no sense to trade salary and then include 15M cash. JBJ is a disaster, but taking on JBJ guarantees and trading JD's gives the Twins a positive net of appx 23M. Milwaukee can keep the kid with the TOS recovery. One for one, no cash would be the deal if its just a salary issue. If we need to rebuild pitching staff 2022, that's 23M we otherwise do not have. Maybe there is a different team where that sort of deal might make more sense than Milwaukee--Yankees? I dont believe their 3B crew is exactly lighting it up. But who then plays 3B 2022? Another FA? I'm all for trading salary, if it creates space to rebuild pitching roster, and IF Twins' ownership is serious about reinvesting the net into payroll. If not, keep JD and pay the freight.

    If we are not committing to the guys the org has successfully developed (Pressly, May ) and instead look for value in mid-level FA's, the results are going to be hit and miss. Always looking for the next Wissler, never committing to the existing Pressly on the staff. It is one way to do it, but Oakland and TB do it a heck of a lot better than our Twins org does, even with the wunderkinds at the helm, there is precious little evidence to suggest this org can continually rotate talent to remain annually competitive. We are not competing for top FA's, and we have not proven we can consistently develop top level talent. Maybe the need is investing in the evaluation, selection, and development aspects if the org is ever going to get out of the cycle where we compete for a certain "window" and then have a 5-7 year rebuild. Study the A's, Ray's, Dodgers...how are they able to churn out talent, especially pitching, seemingly every year? Whatever that is, do that.....

    And now for thinking ahead. The kid from Wi might go #1 next year: 1. Connor Prielipp - LHP Bio: Height: 2-Jun Weight: 170 lbs Hits/Throws: L-L Hometown: Tomah, Wisconsin School: Alabama After dazzling in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, Prielipp enters 2021 as a must-watch arm for the 2022 class. He's added 25 pounds of muscle during quarantine, which has led to FB velocity at 93-96 MPH and has topped out at 97 this fall with command. His slider is firm and sat 88-90 MPH with late break and there's a developing change-up in the mid-80's that has promise. He's likely to be the first arm off the board in 2022.

    Does that mean he will now start in AllStar far and win World Series MVP?

    Seeing's how the rules do not specifically disallow horses in play, the Twins can seize this out of the box moment by adapting a hybrid model: Mr Baffert trains players in the principles of Cossack and Roman riding...the OF gaps are covered even without Buxton, and guaranteed there are no 2B or SS who will be interested in completing those DP relays with a 1200 lb Arabian warhorse bearing down on the bag. This could be wildly entertaining. Good call for the Twins........

    Thanks TD team, so far really liking the layout and accessibility. Unlike our hometown hero's TD can make adjustments on the fly and still win....good job fellas!?

    Please let's evaluate Vargas by letting him start at 1B. Mauer is DH, 1B backup, left bat off bench. Rather see if Vargas can play everyday. This infield scares me. But please do not move Dozier without fair value. Bourjos helps every pitcher on the staff.
