    Nice night to pitch 8 innings of scoreless ball.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Will we see Gibson or De Vries? Hard to say, I think.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Apparently, Ryan Pressly > Pedro Hernandez.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    I think even Mauer swears when he's been crouching for an hour and only recorded five outs.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Mauer on the mound: "Dude, seriously. We spotted you 11 ****ing runs."
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I expect to see Belichick make some adjustments at halftime. The Patriots are still in this one, folks.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I've never seen a game like this before... These guys aren't just hitting the ball, they're launching the damned thing to the moon every time.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    One has to wonder if Mauer could bat .400 in a Red Sox uniform.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure seems that way.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Willing"hammer", my ass.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, this is nothing if not entertaining.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    This is absurd.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Whenever I listen to Gladden, at any moment I expect to hear him smash a beercan into his forehead mid-sentence. I don't really consider that a positive.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    So Hernandez manages to give up the lead. Amazing.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I left the room for five minutes. Ell Oh Ell.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    It was awful nice of Webster to spot Hernandez this many runs.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    A pitching machine probably wouldn't allow a BABIP of over .400 to a lineup of hitters over the course of a season. That's some pretty awful luck.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Elite? No. But very good? Yes, that should be possible to acquire on a four year deal if you open the checkbook on the per year rate. Roy Halladay signed a 3 + vesting option deal. Outside of the Yankees, how many teams have won after paying for an "elite" starter to front their rotation?
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I know. Which is why I said he ranged from "very good" (2007-2009) to "jaw droppingly good (2006 and 2010). Overall, he was a cornerstone player no matter how you look at it. He's not a Miggy Cabrera-type cornerstone but then again, few are.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I think a six year deal to a pitcher is awful no matter where a team sits in the standings. I would have liked to see the Twins play in the 2 year deal range this offseason (Dempster-type pitchers). In two years, I think the prudent thing to do is to expand that to four year deals in an attempt to nab a Sanchez-type pitcher to push the team into the playoffs (hopefully). Offer more money per year for one year less and see if you can get someone to bite. But I don't see the reasoning to go in on a 5+ year deal on a pitcher. That's incredibly risky and many a front office has been burned by such deals in the recent past.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Very true. But even if Morneau slid in the second half, he probably would have posted an OPS north of .900. Last season, there were only 11 players with an OPS north of .900, two of them with an OPS of .902 or lower. No matter how you look at it, that's elite territory and makes his injury all the more unfortunate.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Justin was a very good player with the ability to be jaw-droppingly good at times (see the first half of 2010). Position matters when you're trying to roster-build but at the end of the day, performance trumps positions. By any metric or comparison available, Morneau was very much a "cornerstone-type player".
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    68 Plate Appearances. Besides, Morneau has a good postseason line at .937 OPS. Mauer's is lower at .673 but it only illustrates how pointless it is to get riled up about ~40 PAs... Add in that double that Phil Cuzzi blatantly took from Joe and his OPS jumps into an acceptable range.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Yes, let's get riled up about their 68 (combined) Plate Appearances in the postseason. That's a great measuring stick of a baseball player.
