Ok, they overturned it

…

That was a huge penalty

Is that a good thing or a bad thing

To be fair I don’t really see threads based around that. I’ve seen posts in threads that are based around that but I haven’t seen threads specifically dedicated to it.

Of course. I’m with you on this.

Looking through many of the posts in this thread, I see many posts that, by my interpretation, boil down to one of these three things: *There’s no chance they resign Buxton* *We’re going to be bottomfeeders for decades thanks to the FO* *Falvine is incompetent* All because of a prediction that Ken Rosenthal made. I respect Rosenthal as much as any MLB analyst, and I’m completely against trading Buxton for the many reasons people have specified. But I wonder if we may be overreacting to all this.

1) Like I said, not playoff caliber 2) They weren’t completely bare. I never said that. They had a solid young core, but it was entirely bat driven. They had a grand total of 2 halfway decent pitching prospects in the minors.

I can't get around this comment right here. The team they inherited hadn't made the playoffs since 2010. Not only that, but they had averaged 94 losses per season.

I quite frankly can't either. I wouldn't be surprised if they trade Buxton. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they get an extension done. I really have no clue which way to lean.

Unless you truly believe the FO is incompetent enough to let that happen (Bill Smith levels of incompetent) that’s not going to happen

Still plenty of offseason left.

If only the Vikings played like this every week

I don’t see the point of handing it off on your own 10 with 20 seconds before the end of the half. Why not just take a knee?

Udoh’s technique is horrible.

17-0 Carolina. Did not expect that.

A bit off topic… https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/nbcsports/nfl-tony-corrente-create-bigger-taunting-problem-than-existed-before/2677862/ I can see why Corrente called the penalty. While it’s incredibly strict, Marsh was staring down the Steelers sideline. When I watch the video, it looks kind of like he’s silently taunting them. Taunting is almost entirely a subjective call. But here’s what I want to know. If Corrente had a problem with what Marsh did, then why does he feel the need to hip check Marsh? Replay has showed that he initiated that. That is a more flagrant act than what Marsh did. I just lost a lot of respect for Corrente.

Make the base assuming he plays 60 games a year and add incentives galore.

The tough thing is that there really wasn’t anything wrong with the Simmons signing on paper last year. NOBODY predicted he would be that bad (if you did, then props to you). The more I think about the Segura idea, the more it makes sense to me. He’s been a pretty solid player over the last five years. I’d be fine with it. He would be cheaper than the big names in the FA market, so the Twins could allocate that money more towards the (many) holes in the pitching staff. That being said, IDK what the Twins would give up for him. That’s the hard part.

Not particularly ecstatic about this hire. That being said, it does fill a need. Losing Mike Bell really seemed to hurt this team, and Tingler (from what I’ve heard from Padres fans) is more suitable as a bench coach than a manager. I’m fine with it.

I hope this trend continues.

He should say, “Get Zimmer out of here or trade me.” He won’t, though.

Love might be able to hold down the fort. If he can, the division is the Packers’.

What’s amazing is that that technically isn’t even a real thing.

Why am I not surprised.
