Did you check 'follow'? You have that option with most everything ... any threads or clubs

The paring down continues ... this was one that maybe could have gone either way, so I'm not exactly surprised or, really anything ... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/11/twins-decline-mutual-option-on-alex-colome.html

We have a thread every year to post news and tidbits about happenings and signings around the game. If the news is 'big', feel free to start a separate thread. Not everything needs to go here, but, consider this thread a collective. I'll start with this news bit:

Wow. He’s lucky that didn’t break his jaw. Glad he’s ok except for a few stitches

Ugh!

No, Polanco was a starter at that AS game ... he was voted in by fans, not players and coaches See above. Polanco was voted in by fans, not players and coaches

If you have a particular baseball/Twins topic you would like to see debated, please post your suggestions here. You may also send a PM to @Squirrel or @Otto von Ballpark. Definitely send us a PM if you want to take one of the sides of your suggested topic to keep it anonymous. As we get suggestions and/or get debates lined up, we will post the threads and hopefully assign a start date.

His best outfield assist still has to be the one in Boston. I will still watch that one over and over.

Yep, the proverbial 'It all comes down to' will be the factor into every decision. Having been through too many contract negotiations in my own industry, it's all about money ... pay and healthcare ... then working condition issues get addressed, which is usually about how much it will cost the organization ... other issues just don't get addressed very well

Well, brush up on your Spanish, then. I mean, who cares what language he does his interviews in? English-speaking news outlets aren't the only ones following these games. And in such an emotional, hyped-up moment, it's even more difficult to command your 2nd language, as words and emotions don't always translate as you want them to. Kudos to Eddie, no matter what his language of origins or choice is. I ❤️ Eddie!

This is not a thread about the All-Star game. Stop that tangent now.

It really is all about the little things, isn't it? Little facts, little details ...

You watched Ober wanting to go longer? Based on what? Ober's situation was explained over and over and over again on this site, and Ober himself said he was fine with how he was handled this past season. This isn't a Rocco decision alone, this is an organizational philosophy, and it is not unique to the Twins.

I’m not sure which ads specifically are causing the problems but the continuous pop up ads really get in the way particularly when you are typing responses. On mobile half the screen is keyboard, then the pop up covers half of the reply box covering the portion that is being typed so you can’t read what you are typing.
