    I agree. If I found out that someone I trusted started spreading personal information of mine on the internet, especially medical information, I would be highly upset.

    A good major league team needs 4 full-time outfielders. In the case of the Twins, I see their outfield in the next few years as Buxton, Celestino, and two of Larnach, Kiriloff, and Kepler. That gives us 2 RHB, 2 LHB, and three (including Kepler) who can play CF. Keep all five, and Kiriloff also becomes part of a platoon at 1B with Sano and gives the team a good overall rotation at DH. That said, go ahead and trade anyone if the price is right.

    Yeah, it went from no rain to a downpour in 3 seconds.

    He obviously spent too much time with Yogi.

    The exception would be if there's a kid at home who would get the ball.

    I hope that's not the plan. Jax tends to drop off suddenly after two.

    Regarding GBA: no need to remove hats, hands over hearts, etc. It's not an official national song, it's just a song.

    Hey, thanks! Edit: ninja'd.

    Man, the HP ump is really squeezing this pitcher.

    We hope it's no more than one.

    Be prepared to seek shelter.

    It just occurred to me why Gordon wears number 1. It's the only number that will fit on his jersey.

    And is that a better earworm? Sort of like cutting off your head to cure a headache.

    Likewise. Moreover, I would not be sad if Buxton turns down the opportunity in order to rest his knee. The ASG is just a load of BS anyway.

    You all should realize that it's extremely unlikely that the ASG starting lineups will include the most deserving players. Fan voting is an incredibly poor method in that regard. As long as that is in place we have to simply accept the results. The voters get who they want the most. Even the selection of reserves is tainted by the 1-player-from-every-team constraint, among other things. In order to make it a game with truly the best players an impartial algorithm based on something akin to WAR or WPA would need be used.

    All things in moderation, including moderation.

    According to statmuse.com the Twins are 6th in the majors in batting average with RISP so their situational hitting is actually quite good. I think it's important to keep in mind that in close and late situations the opposition is likely to have one of their better pitchers on the mound. It points to pitching as the reason behind the situations you cite.
  21. Nine of twelve
    No, the simplest theory is that good pitching will defeat good hitting, as it has ever been and as it shall ever be.

    I will also admit to experiencing frustration and even borderline anger (or, I suppose, keeping to the topic, disgust) from some of the posts I read, including but not limited to ones about Baldelli and his managerial decisions. While I recognize and endorse the right of anyone to express an opinion, many opinions expressed in these forums seem in my view not to be reasonable. The thing is, it's not possible to have a rational discussion with someone who is not rational. So rather than attempting the difficult task of responding to each and every post with which I have an issue I am starting to wonder if I should either put a large portion of posters on ignore or just stop coming to this site. I don't know which would be worse, but I know which would be simpler.

    Almost every pitcher in the major leagues is capable of having a good day. Otherwise they wouldn't be in the major leagues. We all know that offense has fallen off throughout the majors, and while I'm sure there are other factors I think this just happens to be a year in which more pitchers than usual are having good days. Neither one of us has specific stats to back up our respective points of view, but I think good pitching is a bigger factor than weak offense. Occam's Razor tells me this.

    Keep the faith.

    Do you really not know? Especially when the last two games were in Arlington?
