    I am heading to Sioux Falls next week to catch a couple of Saints games. According to the Sioux Falls local newspaper's website there isn't much mask usage or social distancing observed at the games. This confuses me as the infection rate is greater in Sioux Falls than the county in the metro area where I live. I am just going to go and enjoy live professional baseball.

    Amen to all this. Eddie is the type of guy who will be sorely missed if the Twins don't keep him long term. It might take a year or two of reflection and a new guy struggling a bit before Twins fans realize what Eddie brought to the table. Maybe Falvine will want to keep him?

    Maybe Buxton's body just isn't designed to play baseball. How do you get hurt in a scrimmage?

    I don't know if I would change anything. Or, even care too much since I believe most guys will see some time if the virus keeps players off the field for weeks at a time. I would like to see #60 - Brian Dozier.

    The Saints and Canaries are playing game 6 of 6 in a row tonight. Wash, rinse, and repeat three more times with more 6 game series in Sioux Falls. https://www.saintsbaseball.com/news/detail/what-a-long-strange-road-it-will-be-saints-open-title-defense-in-sioux-falls-american-association-schedule-released https://www.argusleader.com/story/sports/minor-league/canaries/2020/06/30/st-paul-saints-ready-defend-american-association-title/5349780002/

    I liken Buxton to an NFL QB who refuses to slide or go out of bounds to avoid hits. Yes, Buxton should go all out every play. He has still has to find a way to stay on the field and not play reckless. Yes, it's a fine line that cannot be defined. Buxton needs to thread that needle, though.

    I am sorry to hear about your friend. I lost one of my best friends from my youth when we were in our late 30s. It is a bummer as you can't get that time back.

    They already have a total 60 player pool, which is almost 2 1/2 regular teams. I'd imagine simulated games at CHS will be the norm. I actually just saw an ad today from the Saints that you can watch the taxi squad practice at CHS from the tables at the pop up restaurant currently operating there. The players are technically responsible for their own housing from an article I saw in the Strib a few weeks ago. I don't know what "St. Paul/Mineapolis prices" means. I suppose they could live anywhere they want to, including suburbs, exurbs, or rural areas that are a reasonable drive to the city. If a player is based at CHS then a small town in Wisconsin east of Hudson is not a difficult commute.

    Not to mention 10 games with Kansas City between August 7 and August 23.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    I am right there with you and don't understand. I assume they want to avoid 2 game series so couldn't do 5 home/5 away equally across the AL Central. I guess it "evened out" for the Twins with unbalanced against their top two (perceived) competitors the Sox and Cleveland. If the Twins had 7 on the road against both the Sox and Cleveland I'd be screaming at the top of my lungs. It should be 5/5 home/away evenly.
  11. theBOMisthebomb
    I guess it's alright to have the auxiliary group based out of CHS. I'm just hoping it doesn't mean the St. Paul Saints are punting on the possibility of Saints games at CHS this season. Their public communication so far is that they will get back to playing games at CHS asap.

    This is not as exciting for viewing as the Twins now miss my favorite NL West. I was really looking forward to seeing the Dodgers at Target Field this season. Obviously, the new schedule is better for the Twins odds of being successful and making the playoffs.

    Just read the comments from casual fans over on the Strib. Lots of "I'm gonna watch town ball", "Who cares, I'm into gardening now", "I'm not gonna watch because I'm mad at the owners/players/ugly negotiations, etc.", "I'm not watching because I'm too concerned about world events and tired of rich owners and players" comments over there.

    I guess if you would have told me a few years ago that Chargois and Busenitz were going to be part of the backbone of a solid bullpen for the 2020 Minnesota Twins then I wouldn't have been too surprised or upset. It might be fun to catch a Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles game and see if we could catch one of them, or both, in action.

    The only thing I can add is Steve Bedrosian, 1991 World Series champion with our Twins. His son Cam is now a pitcher for the Angels.

    I just don't know how to feel about such a short season. I see a lot of football fans crowing that the baseball season is too long. The beauty of the baseball season is the 162 game grind (which gets cheapened every time they expand the # of teams in the playoffs). I suppose there will be a loud faction of (non-purist) casual baseball fans yelling to shorten the season in the future if a 60 game 2020 season happens with positive reviews. I am just going to take what I can get as far as games in 2020 and enjoy it.
  17. theBOMisthebomb
    I want to cheer for the Minnesota Twins. Maybe we will get there soon.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    Oddly enough, the 2020 draft picks seem to fit nicely with the rest of the Twins minor league organization. At first blush, it seemed too many bats and not enough arms.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    Can I have State Troopers stand there and do nothing while the statue is toppled?
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, I had blocked all those walk off losses from the memory bank.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, a 50 game season is better than nothing. That being said, 50 games reminds me of a weekend slow pitch beer bash softball tournament. Let's just play ball, at this point I would take a single elimination tournament that could be completed in 5 days.
  22. theBOMisthebomb
    In Falvine We Trust. This type of scenario was supposed to be where the geniuses would shine so I am trusting they will make lemonade out of lemons.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    It was a sneaky enjoyable season. Watching Dozier was a great experience and seeing the prospects finally start to make noise in the bigs was gratifying. 2016 provided hope for the future.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    It will be catastrophic for both owners and players if they don't have a 2020 season. I feel the long term health of the MLB is at risk.
  25. theBOMisthebomb
    Well played, well played. I could see the Arraez and Buxton things if some weird things really happened. Sano, 0%.
