  1. After this year, the "Gallo Line" will redefine and replace the Mendoza Line in baseball lexicon. GL = .170 ...and we were here to follow it. A future for you -- to tell your grandkids.
  2. About what year did skipping from short become common place?
  3. Thx, didn't realize that piece of the puzzle.
  4. Bingo. Got to agree. In 7 years of pro ball, most Ober has ever pitched is 92 inn. He is at 122 now. Rest a bit and get ready for post-season schedule.
  5. We need a picture of me eating crow on dumping Kepler. Since A/S break: 

    .319 .383 .609

  6. And midseason, I wanted Kepler dumped in a trade or DFA'd and made no bones about it.. Since All-Star break, .319 .383 .609 .992. BA/OBP/Slugging/OPS Boy howdy
  7. I am struck by a young man coming back from two ACL surgeries. Absolutely remarkable and shows a singular, focused dedication to a goal through unparalleled work ethic.
  8. What number did they slap on Funderburk?
  9. Trivia of the night. Funderburk = from the castle, auf Deutsch.
  10. Tom Hamilton just said the same thing in Cleve radio booth re: Curry, 3 rooks as starters and BP is gassed.
  11. I can remember the uproar when Twins selected Lewis rather than Greene back in 2017. 5.06 ERA .260 BA 1.50 wHip
  12. Can send your idea along to the Twins. Language seems to be morphing there. Playoff Push Plan https://www.mlb.com/twins/tickets/season-tickets/playoff-push-plan?partnerId=zh-20230828-1013833-MIN-1-A&qid=26&utm_id=zh-20230828-1013833-MIN-1-A&bt_ee=ocmUVTNDoxPsZqTmQJB6AjdPZ8tlttbbi4Zeu6kqew5fWkdinvLC%2BQuNAIyt1HAJ&bt_ts=1693257925035
  13. Right. Lost some weight and they told him to lose the hair. I bet.
  14. I scrubbed the Miami Herald to see if they were discussing Aug's hitting or anything about his knees. Nada. No hay noticias.
  15. It is less important what I think and more importantly, what Falvey thinks. He thinks they can not muddle through the playoffs and WS. He stood pat at trading deadline. My opinion would be that he knew they were going nowhere. He didn't want to spend any more prospects or get lowballed for what little he had to trade. What for? If memory serves me, LEN3 counted 17 prospects traded away -- and ended up with a ---wait for it, for a .500 ball club. Falvey sees a better year ahead. "Don't eat the seed corn." Leave it in the corn crib to plant next Spring. How do I feel? Two points: Twins are going nowhere, and, As he finishes his 7th year, his 7th, Falvey has an over reliance of moving prospects for vets rather than ensuring a solid, sound development, training, and promotion program.
  16. Silly me. I always thought relievers were to throw some strikes.
  17. This is a division leading team? Good grief.
  18. After last night, best if it is lined with Kevlar.
  19. Anyone else tired of HRs and batter standing in box admiring their work. It seems Columbus has sailed over the edge of the map on this stuff.
