My day as a 26 year old GM. A Perspective. If John Chayka (see Arizona Coyotes) can do it, so can I.            After the dust settled, Terry was nowhere to be seen.  There were theories of course.  S

Thank you sir!  I've decided to step back and take a Uekeristic approach to the rest of the season.     Bob Ueker once said "Hey, I think it's easy for guys to hit .300 and stay in the big leagues. Hi

I just wish he was from Canada.  He looks so soft, like a pansy.

 

It's an unwritten rule that the Twins always need to have one guy like that in the rotation.   Before Pelfrey it was Scott Baker,  who made look Charlie Brown look more intimidating than Bob Gibson on a bad day.

What is up with these boys throwing that leather around tonight?  

 

It almost looks like the good old days on D out there.

 

Thanks, DanSan.  Thanks, Polanco.   Good scoop, Joe.  Who's next?

I have not heard that analogy before. Most otters play the oboe. :)

 

His bunting was oboe quality.   Swinging away, he was as hopeless as the otter's notorious inability to master the brass embouchure:  darting eyes, hunted facial expression, flailing arms, and a stance that suggested that the air biscuit he planned to drop had unexpectedly escalated.

Any more Berrios - Hughes comparisons?

 

I'll take ineffective Twins starters for 500,  Alex.

 

"This unclaimed waiver wire lefty starter's presence in the 2016 Twins opening day rotation caused some fans to worry about what to do with him when JO Berrios was called up."

I liked the $200 question:

 

"He was good in the clubhouse, but not so good when it came to giving an inspirational speech to his alma mater Wichita State in a 2014 spring training prank set up by his teammate Glen Perkins and his manager Ron Gardenhire."

After next year big Pelf will have made $31,000,000 over five years with the Twins and Tigers.

To put things in perspective, Kelly Ripa earns $20,000,000 a year ...

 

Oh my, America!

Six innings of zeros is nothing to scoff at, and line drive contact hasn't been as hazardous to the fielders the last couple innings. You may now gloat. :)

Pitch to contact is good, as long as the contact referred to is ball contacting glove.

We signed Robbie Grossman to a minor league deal tonight. Go Twins! \m/

Hm.  Down goes Rosario, then.
