  1. If he were playing CF he'd be doing these things much more frequently. I am guessing that the decision makers are limiting him to DH because they feel it's necessary to do that in order for him to be available to play CF in the postseason (if we qualify) and would phase that in during the last month or so of the regular season.
  2. I would never watch baseball again.
  3. If he is day to day he is a very fortunate man
  4. Mr. 20/20 hindsight here: This is a game where I wish there had been a quick hook of the starter. IMHO it's better to lift a starter too soon than too late.
  5. BTW, I don't think there is a separate "mental health injured list" as there is with concussions. Nor should there be. It's simply the injured list.
  6. Same thing, different source. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/
  7. Yeah, I know, bad form to quote myself. And getting a bit off-topic. But I never get tired of watching this fielding play.
  8. It's interesting about baseball. Pretty much everyone agrees that pitching is the most important of the four aspects of the game, followed by hitting, fielding, and base running in that order. But great pitching is boring video and TBH great hitting is not much better. Great fielding plays usually make the best highlights and the Castro-Correa-Jeffers play is a good example. That was really sweet.
  9. Over the course of the last couple months there have been a number of posts stating that Toby Gardenhire could or should be the next manager of the Twins. The timelines suggested or predicted range from immediately to during the next few years. I don't follow the Saints closely enough to form my own opinion about his abilities or potential to succeed as a major league manager. So I'm opening this thread to give people a forum to discuss his qualities as a manager and to give reasons why he should or should not be named manager if and when Rocco Baldelli's tenure ends. Please refrain from discussing Baldelli; this is intended strictly to discuss Gardenhire.
  10. OK boys, get to work and pick up your starter. Lots of game left.
  11. I've been meaning to say...Kudos to whoever came up with the slogan "Land of 10,000 Rakes".
  12. I don't know anything about him, but if that were the case I'm sure he'd be getting a lot of time behind the plate. Every team wants and needs good catching so I have to assume his performance was not of high enough caliber.
  13. We can't expect every reliever to have a good day every time either. Bad days and struggles happen for them too. If you're going to go easy on Gray by saying no more than he "didn't have it last night" then treat the relievers the same way.
  14. TAKE NOTE OF THE EARLY START TIME. 6:10 PM CDT to accommodate the T-Pain concert following the game.
  15. I know better than to jinx our favorite team with a prediction. But on the surface the saying that it's not just which team you face but when you face them appears to be in our favor. The Tigers are severely reeling and we are not. Go Twins!
  16. AQI is in the 70's in the western suburbs as I post this. It seems that the nasty stuff is moving out of the Twin Cities region so there should be no problem with that for tonight.
  17. Baseball Trade Value. I hadn't heard of this either but a quick Google search was all that was needed. Always remember, Google is your friend.
  18. Looks more like an electric toothbrush than a chicken.
  19. Many very good baseball players bounced between the majors and AAA early in their careers. Torii Hunter is a good example. Very often these things just take time.
