    yes management supported them , their choice, but you , not management, asked why there should be consequences, not your choice.
  2. LVTwinsfan
    That would be up to him

    I doubt any “ punishment “ is coming, maybe loss of pay, which is not punishment, it’s what should be expected

    Everyone is allowed to make peaceful protests, but if I chose to miss work to protest I wouldn’t get paid, and I wouldn’t expect to be either.

    Im sure there are fans who wanted to see a game tonight. I’m sure there are players who wanted to play. Most people are required to do there jobs and if there bosses don’t want to pay them for not showing up, it’s not necessarily a matter of heart. We all live with the choices we make. I doubt the players who decided not to play are concerned about pay or the win loss aspect, they did what they felt they had to do and should be willing to accept whatever comes down because of it.

    They chose not to play a game in a season where there are no fans. I don’t necessarily disagree, it’s their league their career, their choice. I won’t miss them, they are just not that important

    I just got there, I did overlook the possibility of deleted posts. My mistake, I never see politics here, maybe thinly veiled politics, but I normally post on game threads. It’s a good site, deleting points is the owners prerogative, but it leads to confusion when you see the post condemning them but not the condemned posts
  8. LVTwinsfan
    That’s fine, all other sports are doing the same. I did notice one of the other moderators locked a thread because he saw evidence of thinly veiled racism. Just because people disagree with whether or not the games should be played really has nothing to do with racism. The term is really thrown around freely these days. So much that it’s losing its meaning. And the message from the moderator on this site was this: If you disagree with what the players decide to do you must be a racist. Well, I disagree

    Not “if” Buxton gets injured but “when”
  10. LVTwinsfan
    Sure, as long as he leaves his scissors at home
  11. LVTwinsfan
    Pitching is what they need, first and foremost, pitching is the reason they get swept in the playoffs, has been for years, fix the pitching first and the other questions are much easier to answer
  12. LVTwinsfan
    There’s something to be said about a player just playing one position and perfecting his play at that position. The Twins moved players around a lot this season and their defense wasn’t good. Injuries played a part, sure but the Twins looked like a roster of utility players. Each player needs to play a large pct of games at his primary position in order to be his best at that position.
  13. LVTwinsfan
    Berrios was not good in game 1 , his curve ball was a non issue, he threw way too many pitches which is why he had to be relieved early. If you actually believe that that performance should get your team a win then you really don’t get what it takes to win in the post season,
  14. LVTwinsfan
    not at all suggesting they should be happy to be there. As much disappointment the fans feel, I’m pretty sure the players feel it much worse. But, they are only half a team without some quality starters. I think the last two games makes that crystal clear
  15. LVTwinsfan
    The Twins were a big surprise this season. I’m disappointed as are many that they haven’t played better in NY. But unless you catch lightning in a bottle you just can’t win in the playoffs without reliable starting pitching. The lack of it affects all aspects of the game. Slow innings with upwards of twenty pitches has the defense on its heels, puts way too much pressure on the offense and is a negative force to the overall morale of the team. Why the FO passed on pitching help this year is a big question mark, hopefully they fix it in the off season. If they don’t then their goals are not the same as most loyal fans. I will watch until this series is over. Can the Twins win three in a row? Of course they can. The odds are against them for sure but they won’t give up. I don’t believe a sweep though defines this team in any way. These players had nothing to do with past teams performances and I certainly don’t believe in childish curses. Win or lose the Twins will be back, they definitely have something to build on here. Fixing the pitching should obviously be the top priority and we will all be watching closely. I am not embarrassed by this team, they are relatively young and exceeded all expectations for this season. They have no realistic chance for a Championship this season and to say its World Series or bust this season just isn’t practical. But it’s never too late to catch lightning in a bottle! It’s baseball anything can happen. Win or lose though, I’m still a Twin’s supporter and a fan. Go Twins!

    Grade 1 ankle sprain, Twins have til Friday to set their roster. I’m going with Arraez being good to go. Keep hitting more homers than the Yankees and more importantly scoring more runs per game. Go Twins!!
  17. LVTwinsfan
    some players needed rest immediately. Kepler for one, resting Berrios is okay too, the Twins are down to two starters, bullpen games in the playoffs are inevitable. There goal was to win the series. They did that, They are in good shape, they will win the division easily if they can get healthy
  18. LVTwinsfan
    yes an absolute must, and I believe the Twins will do that. For some reason they have a hard time at home, so just keep winning on the road and they’ll be fine, yet they need to at least break even at home
  19. LVTwinsfan
    Starting Sept 3, 3 at Boston then 6 at home vs Cleveland then Washington., then to Cleveland for 3 more. Those 12 games are what makes or breaks the Twins this season
  20. LVTwinsfan
    I think AL pitchers especially, should never get involved in this kind of unwritten justice. How do you retaliate against them? They don’t stand in the box. And if an eight run lead is in surmountable then just forfeit the game and go home, or you you’re tired of the other team scoring so much then stop them. That pitcher should have been ejected and fined
  21. LVTwinsfan
    You have to give up something to get a good starting pitcher. The Twins offense is among the best but without pitching they will be one and done if they even make the postseason. The window for postseason opportunities are usually pretty small as far as the Twins are concerned. I see the Twins squandering this opportunity, and why not, attendance is up no need to take risks at this time.
  22. LVTwinsfan
    Syndergaard would be a good fit, I could see him sounding the gjallarhorn at a Vikings game
  23. LVTwinsfan
    Could someone give a rational explanation as to why the Twins could not get Stroman, as the Mets got him for almost nothing. My theory.....almost nothing is still too much for the Twins.
  24. LVTwinsfan
    Umm, Sano?
