Game Thead: Twins@Mariners 7/10 Freaking late again!!! 9:10PM

[Riverbrian]

I'm going to need some independent verification of that. That sounds like something likely to have been said by several posters that come to mind, including at least 1 owner and a couple mods.

 

Ok... I checked it out... I spent the last 10 minutes reading through every single TD post in history.

 

It's the first time... The closest was a post made by LaBombo... All he typed was "Ham Sandwich".

[Gibby]

I agree. He has tremendous potential, but I question his make-up.....

 

I know, his foundation is wrong for his skin tone.

[Bark's Lounge]

Hope you can check back in for 2015 spring training...

 

... because of high marble count, not low counting rate, it should go without saying.

 

Believe me - it is not that high of a count.

I remember that post.

 

It was in the "posters brighter than Chief" thread, if I recall correctly.

[stringer bell]

I would too. He's younger than Plouffe, Florimon, and Dozier. More importantly, he can hit a little bit. I'd put him at SS, at least til this supposed lousy defender shows himself.

 

Mostly agree. I think he can be an option at short. He can hit some, runs well and seems to have a good arm.

[LaBombo]

Arcia has been the biggest disappointment of the year to this point, IMO. Really hoped for more, both on offense and defense.

 

edit: he does have a good arm though

Because he figures more prominently into the competitive future of the team, yeah, that's a good call.

 

But Nolasco has been dreadful, is hurt, and signed to the second least-awful contract in the Twins org.

 

Arcia could take a year off from baseball with a fanny pack full of Eurail passes and youth hostel vouchers, and come back next year looking like one of the best possibilities for a Twins player to have a good season.

I'm a model you know what I mean and I shake my little tush on the catwalk.

Run, Sammy, run!

According to the search results, RB is the most prominent poster in terms of hamster references, with 2.

Who leads in "hamster sandwich" references?

Milan is in the bag. What about New York and Japan?

Yeah... But I discounted those because of the infinite monkey theory.

I just found out my kid signed with a team in Milan.

You do my friend.

[stringer bell]

On Arcia, I really think he's close. He is being more patient and making better contact. Despite some bad misplays, I think he's much better in right this year.

That would be me.

Its frustrating because he did nothing but hit as a minor leaguer (career .314 BA over 1800 PAs). So far in 2014 he has been doing more swinging and missing than just about anyone in baseball. Similar deal with Hicks too really (career .270 BA).

 

Actually the penalty to their BAs after being promoted is almost identical - .076 points for Hicks and .075 for Arcia.

[Riverbrian]

You do my friend.

 

Thats Right... His last reference counts. We are tied!!!

We gotta be patient and wait for him to get it. When he does... It'll be awesome.

Not sure what to do about NY, I am but simple mid-western folk. An infusion of anime porn could help sway the cause of the Japanese.

Kendrys! (sic)

I didn't know they had pro volleyball way out there in west central Minnesota.

[stringer bell]

An opportunity for Arcia to show he is making progress.

Please accept my apology - I was taking a wild guess.

Minnesota produces some of the best players in the country.

Dave Dixon's daughter is on the team with mine. Twin Cities are representin.

[stringer bell]

I am expecting at least 24 runs this weekend, so watch a number of guys to explode in Colorado.

Yeah, not for from the Watson sag.

[Guest USAFChief]

Seattle looks like a team in desperate need of Willingham.

I'm bracing myself for it. Who will replace them on our roster?
