I never really know what to think. While it is certainly ‘convenient’, I don’t think teams really do this. If they did, I would think there would be repercussions and the MLBPA would get involved, but I don’t really know. So, better to take it at face value, I guess

Knee inflammation

The 40-man roster indicates who is in the IL

It’s RBI and MPH. Context tells us when the plural should be applied. Sheep, sheep. It’s never sheeps.

Until they no longer lead the division, as weak as it is. Some think it’s a matter of time, and I can’t deny their reasoning on that, any more than I can deny the weaknesses of the team’s pitching. And it could be stated almost every game. But, despite that, the Twins are still leading the division. Even when they win, threads are filled with comments complaining, finding ways, sometimes creatively, to rip apart anything good, as if it’s a mirage we should all ignore. Some are genuinely constructive criticism, and those comments I appreciate. But most are just complaints to complain. That is a willing and purposeful choice, imo, and deserves some calling out as trolling.

Actually, you can tap the hamburger menu from anywhere on the site. Or, if you click ‘Forums’, you will see all the links to those resources above the forum list

Ask @chpettit19 I don’t know if he has looked at this area specifically, but he might be able to tell you something

Did it work???

Well now ... since you asked ...

Should've been the Arachnids

Probably about as difficult as spelling his name correctly ... ?‍♀️

Well, now that i've read the whole game thread, surprised it was only 7-4 ... sounded more like we were losing 23-1. Good times were had by all?

You gave us the jinx, so quit your whining about it now

What the heck is the matter with you??!!!!

This has been pretty well documented his reasons for taking the job ... close to home, less travel, more money, and it started NOW, he couldn't wait until the end of season because of how college sports/baseball works and what their schedule is ... let's not invent things because of your dislike for the Twins right now

Uh, he’s really not a catcher. Just no to that.

Hardly free … believe me I pay for it. Although I’m not close enough to hear actual music but close enough to hear/feel the constant bass rumble

I am currently in the land of Lollapalooza ... if you don't know what that is, look it up ... wow ... it's loud tonight.

I’m sure some kind of ‘cost analysis’ was done and maybe they felt those seats weren’t utilized enough to provide for them in their renovations, but I think that was really short sighted and just plain wrong, and then likely made sure to provide the number of seats required without any thought to visibility and in-game experience. In other words, ‘we’ll put all these in the ‘cheap seat’ area.

Correa

Yeah ... makes me leery. Unless they feel they can get higher bidders for him now? Dunno

Who is playing out of position? And don't say Miranda, because that's just false, imo. And don't say Gordon, either. He had a lot of time in the OF last year and they've converted him to a super utility payer, I think, quite successfully.

Is this a surprise? Or, will be if/when he signs? I didn't even expect this to be a discussion at this point; never figured he'd even consider signing

Oy ... we have had this discussion so many times, and I ask the same thing and no one ever answers ... sell him for what and to whom? First, no non-contending team will 'buy' him because they, too, will be sellers and they aren't going to 'buy' someone who will leave at the end of the season. Second, who of the contending teams need/want a SS? Third, what do you realistically expect to get for him? Either we pay all the salary and get some modest pieces in return, or we pay nothing of his salary and get less pieces in return. Remember the haul we thought we'd get for Santana? Expect the same for Correa. No one ... not one team ... will be able to afford his actual worth, so if you think we get comparable value, think again. Fourth, he has a limited trade clause ... which teams he doesn't want to be traded to, I don't know. And of course he might waive it. But ... there is that to consider. Fifth, just because the some think 'We won't win it all, so let's sell' ... I think that's a very poor philosophy. So, unless we have a Yankee or Dodger level of good, we should sell? I admit that I don't relish going up against the Yankees or Astros, but, imho, that is not a reason to sell because we are 'scared' of those teams. If every team thought that way, then let's just have the ALCS first thing in October between the Yankees and the Astros and everyone else go home. I mean, there's this saying ... don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. So ... back to my question ... just what do you think you will get for Correa, and which contending teams need a SS, and who do they have to trade? And if we are going to be sellers, who else will we sell, and where are the needs of the other teams and what do you hope to get in return? We can keep on this round-about and never get anywhere. If the Twins end up being sellers and we are in or near first place in the division, I will be very angry. I don't care if they don't 'win it all' ... yeah, that's a different disappointment ... but to not ever TRY? That's worse and cowardly. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

Just like Larry, Curly and Moe?
