    Schilling isn't mad, no sir. Why, in fact, he finds the whole thing funny and it's probably you who are mad

    It's weird to have faith in the Twins front office for the first time in my life, but I'd definitely rather they develop some guys they think they can work with rather than spend on a reliever. Or maybe I'm just still scared of a Matt Capps kind of situation

    Good write up, but I feel like signing Cruz is a no-brainer. The one position the Twins appear to be fully set at for years to come is DH, so there's no need to sign an expensive long term player there when worst case scenario the spot can serve as a mostly off day for a rotation of sluggers.

    I don't think this is anything terribly concerning -- my guess would be that he's filling the Rooker role of bench bat that can be called on in an emergency. I doubt he'll get much playing time, but given the way Rooker came up an immediately mashed, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he did.

    Someone needs to get Jomboy on this so we can find out what was said between these two

    This is the quality content I come to Twins Daily for

    Newman was also great for the baseball card of his that was a hot commodity when I was young b/c he had a giant booger hanging out of his nose on it. But a better Newman story is from a buddy of mine who met him at a Twins fest or some such thing and while Newman was autographing something for him, he cracked a joke about Newman's one career home run. To which Newman, without looking up from signing the card, simply replied "one more than you have."

    Loving these Win Probability Charts that immediately shoot toward the Twins' side of the graph and just stay there.

    I knew there'd be some "sky if falling" posts already, but really all we learned last night is that Lester is a better pitcher than Bailey. And if that shocks you, then maybe you're not watching much baseball.

    Fun fact: when Albert Grossman was putting Peter, Paul, and Mary together he originally wanted Dylan to be part of the trio but Dylan turned them down. One fateful decision could have had so much impact on future Twins Daily articles.

    The players already agreed to a pay cut to get back on the field only two months ago and the owners tore up that agreement because they're greedy. Framing this as a both sides thing is absolute nonsense.
  13. JDubs
    This is the worst possible take. The players already took a paycut the owners agreed to, but then the owners decided they wanted even more money and are demanding another paycut based on...well, they won't even publicly identify the reason. Imagine your job was shut down due to COVID and your boss said you had to take a paycut to start working again. Then you agreed to that, but before coming back, your boss demanded another paycut. I'm sure you'd happily agree to that, right? You wouldn't have a single problem with it?

    Yeah, God forbid you think about the rest of the world for a second. Grow up.

    I'd be down for another disco demolition night. Maybe pair it with a 10 cent beer night and let things get really fun
  16. JDubs
    Pretty certain the announced owner's plan has a universal DH clause in it

    Does anyone know where the header image is from? First time I've ever seen it.
  18. JDubs
    This is great, and more of these articles please, but you really should at least give a shoutout to David Roth since you're stealing his bit and all
  19. JDubs
    Any excuse to link to the Nick Punto song!

    If (giant if) they do play this year, I could very much see a situation much like the '87 football season. While the lower-end guys and hangers-on have a huge incentive to go through with all of this and be quarantined away from their families and everyone they know, there's very little reason for the elite players to do so. Hell, if anything, there's every incentive for every player good enough to have the financial stability to miss a season to sit out. Why risk it for one year if your Bryce Harper or Mike Trout or really anyone who has future earnings to consider? Throw in the lack of a real spring training to ramp up and the unequal access to work out facilities and whatnot and whatever baseball does end up being played has a good chance of being basically minor-league level. I mean, I'll watch the hell out of it, but I have to believe a good chunk of quality players will not be involved.

    Ufda, the passive voice is doing quite the heavy lifting in this sentence.

    The biggest difference between Johan and Koufax is the laundry. If Johan had spent his career with the Yankees, he would already be in the hall.

    Didn't even need to scroll down to know what #1 would be. The better question to ask would be what hit will possibly dethrone that from #1?
  24. JDubs
    Regardless of what happens, can we all just take a moment to soak in the fact that we're asking what we should do with a high-upside pitching prospect that we have no room for because we're loaded with quality pitching? I'm nearing 40 and genuinely don't remember another time in my life when that could be said of the Twins.

    It's Spring Break and this guy's doing homework?!? He everyone, check out the neeeerrrrrrrrrrddddd! (In all seriousness, this was pretty cool)
