  1. I’ve noticed a lot of complaining about the complainers. Complaining is part of being a fan for some of us. I’d say 90+ percent of us who are complaining are all in on winning this thing.
  2. I can imagine the conversation on the mound at the start of the ninth. “Hi I’m Jason. I’m the catcher for the Minnesota Twins, as you can probably tell, with all this gear I have on! Anyway, it’s good to meet you—oh here comes the umpire. Quickly, we use 1 for fastball, 2 for curve, 3 for change up. Pretty standard stuff. Oh, just out of curiosity, do you even throw a change?”
  3. They could be worth more, or they could be worth less. (With the usual caveat that we are talking about people so obviously we wish them well.) Do you remember when Pittsburgh was shopping Gerrit Cole? And who the Twins better prospects were at that time? Is that a trade you would try to negotiate in hindsight?
  4. If GMs cannot agree on what “fair” means here at the deadline, they are not likely to agree in the offseason either.
  5. I agree with this, and part of it must be because the published prospect values we see on sites like Fangraphs are sometimes very different from the values teams keep internally.
  6. I’m not holding my breath. It feels to me like they are afraid of a trade failing, or that the player they trade away will play well somewhere else. News flash: all of Larnach, Kirilloff and Rooker will make the majors, and probably hit well too. However, not all of them will hold down a Twins corner outfield starting job at the same time. Maybe the long game is that hoarding prospects is the way to win, even if some of them are left too long on the vine. But we’ve seen teams win by trading prospects, too.
  7. I felt the deadline overall was good for fans around MLB in general. The trend seemed to be for more teams to sell their seasons short, but that didn’t happen this year. The Twins got some needed bullpen help, but it still feels like they could have done more. I argued for a long time they should trade Nick Gordon for pitching. I’ve been arguing they should trade one of Larnach/Kirilloff/Rooker. I don’t know what they have planned for those three guys together.
  8. ... Brett Veach... google search.... Oh, so you’re saying the Twins should trade for Tyreek Hill?
  9. What I hear Seth saying is that we still root for the players, other fans and community, regardless of what happens.
  10. Only the second half of the article. The first half was written by Sergio Romo’s agent.
  11. Miami is hosting their final game in the series against the D-Backs tonight—so he might even get to meet Eduardo Escobar today! Rumor has it that the Twins players have something up their sleeves* for Escobar... * heard something about it on the radio broadcast yesterday
  12. Sounds like a logical possibility that one of the recent Miami draftees might be on the Twins radar.
  13. If the sides cannot agree on a player, then cash is sent in lieu of the player. I don’t know if that is still the rule, or how often that happens. Or maybe it’s just a favor returned of some other sort. Anyway, that would leave it at just the one minor leaguer, not 2 Minor Leaguers. Two sounds twice as good as one, I suppose.
  14. I think there’s a distinction between two minor leaguers, and a minor leaguer plus a PTBNL. The PTBNL doesn’t always result in a player? It’s a minor point.
  15. Glad to see it, and great for Lewis. To me it’s a signal he’s not going anywhere.
  16. Honest question. Do they make Romo fly up to Chicago tonight, then fly right back to Miami with the team tomorrow night? Probably, but teams often let starting pitchers fly ahead of the team by a night, and our bullpen is fairly rested. Maybe they let Romo meet the team in Miami.
  17. Go online (if you aren’t online already) and watch some of his post game interviews with the Cardinals.... eventually you might conclude: “no thanks.” He’s doing well in Texas. He doesn’t seem like a guy who would want to be disturbed and uprooted from a good situation he’s got going.
  18. I think Game 4 of the 91 WS was the extra inning game (they lost)
