Game Thread: Twins v Mariners, 6/15 @ 12:10pm CDT

But I suppose you have the right to ask a moderator if you really, really, really need to.

Down the hall, to the left.

So, the question is now is there a big market for a player like Escobar? The way he has been batting of late do they keep plugging him in the lineup and hope to get some team to overpay with a near-ready minor league pitcher like the Giants did last year for Nunez? I understand SSS but if he can keep it up with Adrianza on the bench I think he could be a good sell high candidate.

 

I would rather trade Dozier and keep Escobar.  Escobar is underrated, and his season last year had more to do with injury.  He might fetch another Mejia right now.  He's picking up from 2015 and can flipped when Gordon is ready, and he will bring in more than a Mejia type.

I am 100% certain I do not need a bartender today!

A man who hires himself as his bartender has a fool for a client?

[wsnydes]

Pitchers are the best hitters!

You've clearly never had my margaritas, sir.

What if the price is right?  Sometimes it makes good financial sense.

[USAFChief]

 

You've clearly never had my margaritas, sir.

Correct.  But that is YOUR fault, not mine sir.

[Craig Arko]

I give you Chris 'The Bambino' Gimenez.

I say we sell him to the Red Sox to help pay off the liens on our ballpark.

[Circus Boy]

My goodness. Gimenez's doesn't even hit his weight lifetime, and his best season for HRs was 5 a couple years ago with Texas. Maybe our new baseball people are smarter than TD posters like me.

possibly, but keep in mind all the TD posters are above average.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lead!

 

Goody goody gumdrops!

For a second there I was worried that you suspected Gimenez of moonlighting in organized crime, but then I remembered that it was the Gambino family.

And don't forget that all the moderators are beautiful.

you know approximately where I live...

Got some warning points you're trying to make go away quicker?  

[USAFChief]

Yes, but it's skin deep.

Might have to break out my surplus Gene Larkin bobblehead if I'm going to have a shot at that.

[wsnydes]

I haven't had this much fun watching a Twins pitcher since the Johan days.

[LaBombo]

 

Yes, but it's skin deep.

 

I'd settle for that kind.

 

Did that come with the position, or was it a prerequisite?

[Mike Sixel]

You have to love the Berrios just came back out and threw the bleep out of the ball. He's legit. 

 

I'd be open to trading anyone not named Gordon from the minors, if they can find a SP that is a 3 and under control for 2+ years (hahahahahahah, dreamer).

[USAFChief]

 

I'd settle for that kind.

yes.

Trying to decide which option is going to kill me faster.  The slow wait for the cringeworthy answer or the answer itself.

[LaBombo]

 

yes.

 

Gretzky was right. Assists really can be sweeter than goals.

[Puckett34]

Escobar is En Fuego this week

I'll help you decide:

 

"Because they make up everything."

[Danchat]

Wow, Escobar's almost at .300! He's been going nuts this series!

[Craig Arko]

You gave up too early, buddy.
