Jerksticks

Some people don’t serve any other purpose than to play the fool? You enjoy embarrassing people? Dang man

That team in 2nd place sucks. So yea, who cares

This. Lotta yikes taeks for a team that really hasn’t lost much lately

I feel ya. I wish we won every game too

Don’t get too far out front of the skis here. If he has a bad game I’m pretty sure all the same people will climb out of their car beds to come post how terrible a signing it was. ?

It’s insane. And the talent in the minors is going to be stronger than most think this season. Breakout city. We’re beyond stocked. It’s almost unfair.

I’ve always been an intangibles guy but since this offseason it’s just been so obvious that our WAR totals are going to dwarf most other teams’. When you have one of the top players in the league at almost every position 1-26,27,28 etc….you’re going to beat everybody. That’s why it’s so dumb to get mad when we lose games The talent is just ridiculous here. Anybody who’s getting all pissy every time we lose or TLR does something, just go look at any other roster. I beg you to go try to find a team you’d rather trade places with. You can’t. And if you can, it’s one of the other top teams. We’re a top team. Tip top.

Man I needed this thread to distract me from the nervous whining of the other baseball threads. Gotta admire Holiday Inn Express here- he keeps coming at the king ?

Correct. Also correct.

Yea and some impatient guys wouldn’t take those pitch arounds.

I’m no TLR lover by any means but I didn’t have a problem with Bummer there. Didn’t have a problem with it at all

Yes totally. I feel like this should be pretty obvious- he was awesome last year. We’re gonna run away with the division quite handedly so thankfully the FO isn’t composed of cowards that want to knee-jerk him off the team. They recognize that the way to win the WS is to have all our weapons optimized for October, Marshall included. I love that they haven’t lost faith and are sticking up for him. Probably gonna need to see some improvement by the trade deadline though. And oooo we lost some games to the Yankees. Ooooooowwwweeee.

Nice

Eh. A couple inches and Vaughn is a hero, TLR is a hero for trusting his rookie and Boone is getting flamed for pitching Chapman in a non-save situation. Teams lose 60 games a year because of inches decided by coinflip outcomes. By your logic, every losing manager in every game is a total asshole asleep at the wheel. That’s actually an interesting stance to take and would make for a fun discussion. Sadly, that’s not your stance.

I sense some anger. Is that anger?

A human brain can’t really think the way you represent a human brain at times. dude we could easily win 100 games this year and you’re going to be mad at TLR and the FO for the 62 we lost. Why?

If you’re mad at this one then you must think a team has a chance of winning 130+ games a year. There’s a reason that doesn’t happen. So, now tell me, who’s lying to themselves really?

Wow what a game and what a finish. Hard to be upset about it. Good teams, good players, crazy plays. That was fucking awesome

? I don’t get why this is so hard to understand.

Why do you do this? I didn’t say anything remotely close to Fun Police. Not one shred of what I said could even be twisted into a form of Fun Police. You constantly quote people and argue against things they never said and infer things that aren’t written. Like just respond to what’s written. Shouldn’t that be the minimum standard of respect here? Reading the words?

Y’all so full of shit acting like this is an issue of some crazy TLR grandpa thinking vs new school baseball. bull effing shit. Yermin knew exactly what he was doing. He made the choice to be a punk. Which is fine. But he made that choice for whatever reason. Maybe he wanted to give the Twins a big “F-U”, I dunno. But he knew he wasn’t supposed to do that shit. And he knew there would be consequences. He wanted to be a punk… and now he along with everyone else is hiding behind this old school vs new school BS. I know what he did, you know what he did, the whole twins roster knew what he did. And everyone is pretending they have no idea what the big deal is. Bull shit. He was a punk. Plain and simple. Punks get thrown at. Punks can get hurt. Punks lead to benches clearing. Which is fine. But his ass was getting thrown at the minute he chose to go punk. Maybe TLR didn’t want all his guys getting beaned and benches clearing the next day…all cuz of the punk. Am I wrong?

Dear God

BTW this is all 5D Hahn mind chess. He knew the only way Ozzie could return would be if the people overwhelmingly called for him. The only way for that to happen? Hire TLR

I love an Ozzie with AJ bench coach. Set for the next 25 years

Is it though? Ozzie was born to lead this group.
