    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Except from reading the article, I don't think these 4 Scouts that were axed were part of the "gang of spreadsheet nerds." These were the guys that actually traveled to other MLB and Minor League ball parks to evaluate talent and/or advance scout for the big league team.

    Robert Redford, magnetic Hollywood icon known for his roles in classics like ‘All the President’s Men,’ dies at 89.

    Totally agree. Great ensemble piece of work. Tom Skerritt as their father I also thought was stellar. So was Redford's narration.

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    I would have thought M*A*S*H snagged a nomination for Sutherland. His just one scene as "X" in JFK has always left a lasting impression. Redford also never won an Oscar for Acting. His only nomination was for the The Sting. As Best Director he was nominated twice, for Ordinary People and Quiz...

    Robert Redford, magnetic Hollywood icon known for his roles in classics like ‘All the President’s Men,’ dies at 89.

    I'm sure Brad Pitt would have eventually been a huge star anyway, but his performance in the Redford directed A River Runs Through It certainly hastened the run up.

    All Things Immaculate Grid-related (MLB, NBA, NFL)

    I actually think "Kitty" is for Jim Kaat, given the last name play. Only other that springs to mind is Ron "Papa Jack" Jackson, but that's more for Reusse's cut by renaming him "Poppa Up".

    The ordeal of no divisions

    I don't want any part of attending regular season games in December, nor prior to Labor Day for that matter, much less paying for them.

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    I totally got what you meant in the initial post, I just thought playing the titular character in an iconic film early in his career deserved attention, with GWH & Jason Bourne. I have found it such an interesting cinematic choice to not show who the film is named after well into the...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    While that was my initial reaction after seeing the tweet as well, after the reading the article I am not so sure anymore. Most of what the scouts were doing does not need to be done in person anymore and the Twins are hardly alone with this type of cost saving measure. The Cubs were mentioned...

    Well, he also IS Private Ryan, being saved. That's where I first noticed him too. Another pre-GWH role in which he shined was as the medic in Courage Under Fire. It's a pretty solid Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan & Scott Glenn feature. When it's on TV, I usually find myself sticking with it for...

    Bake McBride. I don't think he would have had nearly as an illustrated career if his baseball card said: Arnold Ray McBride

    Badly missed Cal fumble from Saturday's game (video)

    I thought it looked weird in real time.

    Badly missed Cal fumble from Saturday's game (video)

    I think we should print T-shirts. Oh that's right, we're not Iowa fans.

    Rutgers game is 11am kickoff

    Game times for the Gophers are pretty minimally impacted by how talented (or lack of) is perceived. An unattractive matchup can just as easily be at :2:30 for the BTN window or Peacock for that matter. Three games (Purdue, Nebraska & Oregon) are already scheduled for Prime Time...

    Robert Redford, magnetic Hollywood icon known for his roles in classics like ‘All the President’s Men,’ dies at 89.

    As an 8 year old I truly believed in Luke's ability to "bullseye Womp rats" at face value. It served him well.
