  1. ... and Pablo..... they half arsed the rebuild so we could end up having the worst of both worlds.... The Twins ownership and front office simply do not have the foggiest idea of how to run a professional baseball franchise.... It's sad with a sprinkle of embarrassment.... and if you have a refined pallet.... just a hint of apathy...
  2. I understand your point but IMO we need to look at this without knowledge of performance this season. We traded Duran, Jax, Varland, and Correa. All of these guys were controllable. We did so to bring in younger talent to prepare for the next window. We need to finish the job with Jeffers, Ryan, and Buck. Ryan and Jeffers are easy decisions because we will never pay them in free agency and make no mistake... they are going to free agency Buck depends on Buck... but if he wants to leave, we should oblige for the right price
  3. Putting all of the histrionics and hyperbole aside, the situation is pretty straight forward. 1. We all love Buck and wish that his peak aligned with a Twins competitive window, but alas, it did not. 2. Buck has peak trade value right now which will erode soon (probably starting next year) 3. Getting additional talent that aligns with the next core via a Buck trade makes sense Good roster construction happens by using intellect and not emotion. If I make you feel any better, the Twins don't have the foggiest idea about good roster construction. This will come down to Buck's desires. If he wants out at the trade deadline, the Twins will probably oblige. If he want to stay, obviously he will with his no-trade clause.
  4. . Real fans of this team should not wish for half arsed planning. Ownership has already committed to a rebuild through last years actions.... but they have not had the intestinal fortitude to see it through. Some 'fans' such as yourself perhaps do not have the intestinal fortitude either. That is fine, as long as you like protracted bad-mediocre baseball lasting upwards of a decade....
  5. I promise you that Joe Ryan has a calendar somewhere in his house where is counting down to the trading deadline day by day.....
  6. Quite honestly, I hope to see him win a WS with Atlanta this year and enjoy watching the young talent he brings in return during the second half of the season. Time to free up the outfield for prospects and Free Buck
  7. This... this... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand..... THIS! I like Jeffers and wish he was staying, but the Twins ain't outbidding anyone.... J Jeffers is gone.... so we better get something for him by the trade deadline
  8. The bullpen sucks and Wallner strikes out in 2/3rds of his ABs.... Yaaaaaawn..... Not really that big of a deal I guess.... None of them will be around in 2027 anyway..... Taj will be though and he was great!!!!!
  9. This bullpen is bad... no, not bad... awful....no, not awful... horrific... no, not horrific.... an unmitigated epic disaster....YES it is settled... an Unmitigated Epic Disaster (trademark pending)
  10. Certainly better than a number of the alternatives... (a little nod and a wink at you Banda ;)
  11. Wait....so are you telling me that this bullpen is awful and always has been?! (checks notes).... um yeah, I mean, yes, sir.... That certainly checks out.
  12. he needs to be playing every....single....day......
  13. Fingers crossed for the start of a Jenkins Heater (trademark pending) Sidenote.... pictures of Jenkins always make me chuckle.... if he doesn't make it as a professional baseball player, he can certainly play one on film... straight out of central casting he is....
  14. Banda pitched a shutout inning and struck out 2.... this is easily the most embarrassing event to occur for the Mets during their 12 game losing streak!
  15. I think the one question is: Do the tweaks that the Twins make to maximize velocity and other factors put more strain on the elbow? There was an article a few days ago that said they dropped his arm slot 2 degrees and increased his extension. Tweaks can improve results, but it can come at the cost of disrupted natural biomechanics.... I'm not saying this definitely contributed to his injury, but I mean, it is possible...
  16. A preexisting crack in the armor... the bullpen was always going to be a problem. Optimism springs though in the performance of Taj, Abel, and Keaschall (he'll be fine) with visions of Ross and Culpepper providing competent defense on the left side of the infield while Emma and Jenkins patrol the outfield.....
