    He's my favorite player, but his biggest flaw is that he tries to make the great but nearly impossible play instead of doing the best thing.

    Nice work by Odorizzi!

    Tuned in with Rosario batting. In February this is what I pictured this team would be like. Except I also pictured a healthy and productive Buxton and a healthy and productive Sano. In other words, an offense leading the majors in runs scored by a significant margin.

    My wife has expressed the wish that I do not post information about myself on this site that could identify me. Of course, she's on facebook and I'm not so I'm not quite sure why she is concerned but in the interest of marital bliss I honor her request. That means my answers will be a bit vague in some cases. 1.) Lifelong Minnesotan except for four years of college. Currently residing in the TC metro area. 2.) Early 60's. 3.) Another participant on this site has mentioned for some years that I should visit and participate, and here I am. 4.) Park/Rec baseball as a grade-schooler, college intramural and low-level adult Park/Rec slow pitch softball. In other words, not much. 5.) Kirby, Bert Blyleven (see my post just above) and Eddie Rosario. 6.) I read hardly any non-fiction. I really enjoy Discover Magazine. 7.) What's Twitter? (Being facetious, of course. I have never thought of any reason whatsoever to involve myself with it.) 8.) I really enjoy geocaching but don't spend a lot of time doing it because I don't have a lot of spare time. 9.) Mostly the forums, occasionally read articles, rarely read blogs. See the spare time concern mentioned in 8. 10.) No strong opinions. 11.) I believe I've been to three, and enjoyed myself at all of them.

    I strongly agree. When he retired he was third all time in strikeouts, behind Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton. Repeating for emphasis: ****ing third all time! It's a travesty that he wasn't a first ballot inductee.

    We would be in the ALDS, whereas being in the wild card game is at best a 50% chance of being in the ALDS.

    Whether the team is in contention or not I always hope we win today's game. That said, preparing for 2019 should be a high priority for how this organization approaches the rest of the 2018 season. There's reason to expect productive full seasons from Buxton, Polanco and Sano. We have young position players and young pitchers who appear to be close. Give some of the youngsters major league experience this year so they will be more ready to make significant contributions next year.

    And Matt B. while they're at it.

    Put Garver in to catch. The DH spot is now 9th to bat and if all goes well the Twins will only bat once more anyway.
  10. Nine of twelve
    Keep the line moving, boys. No reason to let up now.
  11. Nine of twelve
    Dozier tends to get over-dramatic with the shin guard.
  12. Nine of twelve
    Geez, don't say that. A dad who was at a game with his sone did lose his life a few years back trying to catch a ball flipped into the stands by an outfielder
  13. Nine of twelve
    I expect that to be scored FC, E-6, no RBI, but the catcher could probably have kept his foot on the plate and still caught it.
  14. Nine of twelve
    OK boys, let's string some more hits together. We don't want a save situation come the top of the 9th.
  15. Nine of twelve
    Morrison should have done that his first game this year.
  16. Nine of twelve
    Excellent use of the anti-jinx!
  17. Nine of twelve
    Nice shot by Garver!
  18. Nine of twelve
    I agree. I've said before that I think the Twins will have a good 2019 season. We'll have a rehabilitated and productive Buxton, a rehabilitated and productive Sano, and 162 games of Polanco. We should trade only those players who we think will not be an important part of next year's team. Any player should be traded if the return is judged to be a good return, but likewise the return should be someone who will improve the 2019 team, not a 19-year-old prospect.

    Dang!!! I wish I could have quoted you before you corrected the typo. Or was it a typo? Or was it a Freudian slip? I literally lol'd, and I'm surprised the anti-obscenity system didn't pick it up. (For those who didn't see it one of the letters in amuses was replaced by the letter next to it on the keyboard.)

    No details were release on which drug was used, but this brings up an issue that will become more of a problem over the course of the next few years. Marijuana is currently on the MLB banned substances list as a drug of abuse. Alcohol is also a drug of abuse but is not on that list. In many states marijuana is the legal equivalent of alcohol and the number of states with such laws will be increasing. Should a player be put at risk for suspension for use of a legal, non-performance-enhancing, recreational drug? I'm not going to advocate for either side of that question here, and for now it's part of the CAB, but I'm sure this is a topic that will be revisited in the near future in CAB negotiations.

    True, there was nobody on base but that pitch that clanked off his glove should have been an easy one to catch.
  22. Nine of twelve
    Fair point. We should certainly be willing to sell but there has to be a buyer.
  23. Nine of twelve
    More like 140. It's a definite uplift to a team's morale when the worst team in the majors comes to town with the second worst team following.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Next year we only need 4 outfielders: Rosario, Buxton, Kepler and Cave. Robbie G. should be on this month's sell list.
  25. Nine of twelve
    Dick mentioning the ASG. Everybody except NYY, Bos, Cle, Hou, and Sea gets one player. Fill out the rest of the roster with players from those 5 teams.
