It's a fair question. Dunno. Seems kinda pointless.

 

I think it's ridiculous when people think the front office is incompetent and doesn't know what they're doing.

 

But this sort of thing makes it hard to defend that position.

[Craig Arko]

Sano making it look easy out in RF!

He's doing everything they've asked of him. Somebody needs to launch a tater or two.

Abad looked good. Hopefully he can be this year's successful veteran reclamation project. And hopefully have a little higher K/9 than Boyer's 4.6.

[Brock Beauchamp]

All I want is a run at this point.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That Rosario kid. He may be due for regression but damn, he's a gamer.

I'd like 3.

 

But then, I've always been a dreamer.

[KirbyHawk75]

Awkward slide by Rosario.....

[DiscGolfer]

that looked more like a belly flop than a slide

You're the only one.

[twinsnorth49]

That was one ugly slide Eddie.

[Cap'n Piranha]

After that HBP, Cory Provus mentioned that it was "thankfully not a fastball".

 

If there's any physics professors out there, is there really that much difference in force between an 81 mph pitch, and a 95 mph pitch?

Escobear's got this.

[amjgt]

That first strike to Rosario was rediculous. I can think of three of those (or better) that didn't get called for Twins pitchers

 

I want to see the FoxTracks on that one.

ESCOBEAR!!!!

[Pardon My Dinger]

THE STICK!!!!!!! N

[Craig Arko]

There's one.

[Minniman]

OH MY! So close Escobar!

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

You're the only one.

 

But I'm not the only one.

Maybe someday you'll join us,

And the world will live as one.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Eddies strike.

[Vanimal46]

Esco!!

[KirbyHawk75]

I thought that was gone.  I really think Escobar could possibly be an All-Star this season.  He is a very underrated player.

[twinsnorth49]

Told ya.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Cory Provus going for understatement of the year, as he declares, "the shortstop position has been something of a revolving door the past few years".

[Ultima Ratio]

Not saying Park should have gone there at all, just curious is someone could give me a comp for Park's speed on the bases.

 

Delmon Young? Morneau?

[Craig Arko]

Told ya.

Rub it, rub it, rub it in.

Jim Thome with a pulled hammy.

Danny mentioned a couple innings back that he stole 10 bases in Korea.  One assumes he meant just last year, but absent further data, it could mean his entire life.

 

That was all just a long way for me to say I have no idea.

[nicksaviking]

I said in the Escobar thread that Zi thought he'd hit 40 doubles this year. I think I was way off, he's on pace for 324.

Not used to doing much running clobbering all those HR's. More of a trotter.

[Squirrel]

No, I think you're thinking of Konerko.
