    Cards make very little sense in a digital era. Develop an app that appeals to the 8-14 age range.

    Oh, wow. Missed that. Felt like it was weird and confusing, but also Manfred has to change everything, I suppose.
  3. Shaitan
    And, unless I'm mistaken here, the Twins used Cuddyer's supplemental pick on Berrios.
  4. Shaitan
    Of course, he can still be traded (unless MLB changed the non-waiver rules in the past year too).
  5. Shaitan
    Competitive and Entertaining may be synonyms for you, but they aren't for everyone.
  6. Shaitan
    Nolasco for Santiago all over again.
  7. Shaitan
    He's obviously injury prone. Cut/trade him. /sarcasm
  8. Shaitan
    How has Farrell looked? His numbers seem decent so far, like we may have finally found another MLB pitcher after a dozen tryouts.

    I understand that exit velocity is a fancy way of saying "hard hit," but I find stats like that and how many ft a HR was hit to be unnecessary and more for marketing than anything else. A HR is just as many runs if goes 330 ft or 500, at 80 mph or 130.

    He's also one more suspension away from significant time.

    Do not extend a pitcher who has never played a full season without an IL stint and has never had more than a 2 year contract (for that same reason). He's a reliable pitcher, when healthy. But he'll be available in the offseason if they are interested.

    Shoemaker seems like like he hits a wall. His starts have been solid...through about 4 innings each time. Gotta find the solution to that. I get it the first 2-3 starts of the year but it's almost June now. (A pitcher who gives you 3-4 solid innings is still leagues ahead of most of this bullpen right now.)
  13. Shaitan
    Is it just me, or are the load times really slow now?
  14. Shaitan
    Who is the roster move for Pineda?
  15. Shaitan
    Quit paying attn in the 9th, but not surprised Robles blew it -- no offense to him; he just threw a lot of pitches yesterday (and they have no other options). Anyway, I just want to say I really like this recap style. Nice write-up.

    I know "confidence" is 100% intangible and these are professionals so it shouldn't matter but...it does and it's impossible to measure how much. I'm curious how much different the Twins bullpen would look right now if they'd had a few of these games early on, so the struggling pitchers (e.g. Colome, Duffy, even Dobnak) could have gotten back in their groove. But that's what happens when you always put yourself in a hole.
  17. Shaitan
    Other than 2020, he's been one of the most consistent hitters on the team in recent years (for contact, I'm still suspicious of the HR rise in '19). Let's not forget that it also takes a mental toll on many players when they change positions.
  18. Shaitan
    trough?
  19. Shaitan
    That's a lot of First Rounders in the Bigs (already) this year. And that's how you build a sustainable roster.
  20. Shaitan
    Still don't know what to make of Colome. It's been painful but...he wasn't giving up hits. It was a weird combination of walks, HBP, and errors. If he can get his control figured out, he might be salvagable.
  21. Shaitan
    That is too much to dream. Because in a dream scenario where the Twins have too many good players (not such thing, btw), other teams will lowball because it's perceived that the Twins have to get rid of somebody.
  22. Shaitan
    I think a lot depends how they feel about Arraez in left. Polanco has been hitting better, but I think it adds pressure on Polanco, Kepler, and Sano, probably in that order. (But this is baseball...somebody else will soon go the IL and we'll be complaining about a AAAA utility guy getting the call-up soon enough.)
  23. Shaitan
    I know this is a joke, but if they can put together a weeklong stretch (they're already at 3 days) it goes a long way towards a reset. It blows my mind that in an era of 14 pitchers on a roster relievers still get outside of their best roles but that's where we are. Now let's get Colome into one of these blowouts (if we're going to bother rostering him any longer).
  24. Shaitan
    The best solution to a struggling bullpen is a quality start.
  25. Shaitan
    He only scored twice after being on base 5 times... It's just one game, but I see him hitting 3-4 right now too. Which is not what I would have ever said before this season.
