  1. The Twins could have used Ryan McBroom last night.
  2. It would help if a playoff destined team could come closer to selling out a stadium this close to the end of the season. 14K empty seats doesn't help the energy. It was $1 dog night. Of course, $9-12 beers and $6 average tasting kiddie cones doesn't help. St. Peter has the wrong formula. Even he thinks his prices are ridiculous. Also, the S-show that is the LRT after a game is over doesn't help either. I use it regularly and know what to expect, but I also overheard a couple decent sized groups of people saying stuff like "this was a bad idea" or "we're never doing this again". I see lots of "Out of Service" trains running the tracks and jamming up the flow during this time. You would think the Twins and Metro Transit would be able to come up with a better plan on game days. The lines have been running for years. They should have the data to improve it.
  3. Yep, draw it up ... Odorizzi for 5.2, Stashak 1.1, Graterol 1.0, Alcala 1.0 .... Hit 5 bombas and sweep the Sox out of town!
  4. Looks like Jeremy is the only one who let the bong pass at least every other time around In all seriousness, Arraez is a player that appears to have one tool that is off-the-charts good (two if you count plate discipline/ zone control as a separate tool) and then four tools that are currently average at best and probably below average. Those tools can, of course, improve over time (maybe not raw speed) and should be given that opportunity based on the playability of the other-worldly tool(s). If you are rating prospects, it's pretty difficult to move a guy like that way up when he doesn't have prospect shine and as much data/film to work with. I think Thrylos maybe had him ranked the highest, but he tends to be willing to gamble a bit more with ratings against the grain. He nailed this one, but he's missed a few of those too.
  5. I don't understand why Rocco doesn't have him batting leadoff every game. He takes the best at-bats on the team. He gets on. He takes pitches allowing others to see pitches. Starting every game with a 42% chance of immediately putting the opposing pitcher into the stretch seems like a good idea to me. I'd like to watch that for the next ten years or so. I'm a fan. #29, my ass
  6. Comments already closed at MLBTradeRumors ... Yeah, Internet!
  7. I can't say anything close to nice, so .... sigh.
  8. I like the LRLR pattern and OBP, so ... Arraez Cruz Polanco Garver Kepler Sano Cave Gonzalez Rosario I fear that Eddie wouldn't like this
  9. I knew there would be at least one reason that I should have bought a named jersey. Can I draw a picture of a name and pin it to the back of my jersey like that young Vols fan? Hmmm ... Motter or Heston
  10. I'll take that card falling to the Twins as well. Giolito is going to be a thorn for many seasons, so a break with so many of our own ailing is fine with me. The only problem is that Giolito is the type of hurler they will see in the playoffs. It will be quite the jump from Detwiler, Covey, Sparkman, et al. to Verlander and Cole.
  11. Arraez got to 100 hits in a blink. I can't remember the last Twin to do it so quickly.
  12. Unless Gibson has a miraculous recovery in the next couple days, I say Dobnak with Smeltzer at the ready.
  13. Yep, and it left Clevinger feeling like the movie he always seems to be auditioning for - "Dazed and Confused". Twins Underground Marketing should have a bunch of inflatable "FAH Q" paddles ready to handout at his next TF start. That would be awesome!
  14. At least we're learning good things about Randy Dobnak and Brusdar Graterol. If the season ended today (won't need an 'if' for too long), my playoff rotation is Berrios, Odorizzi, Dobnak, Perez. Smeltzer is the long guy. Rogers, Duffey, Romo, May, Littell and Graterol are in the bullpen. That leaves one bullpen spot up for grabs. Will Dyson get healthy? Is Gibby an option?(experiment #1 = fail) Could the Twins be so fortunate as to have a double K-Rod late addition scenario with Alcala joining Graterol? I guess we have two weeks to find out.
  15. That's awesome! Wade gets his first big knock in a huge situation.
  16. Kick him to the curb. He screwed the team over at the worst possible time. He'll be screwing the team over again by not participating for a quarter of the season and the playoffs. Bad content. Why is it front page?
  17. Nice interview by Sano. I wouldn't be able to comprehend all the questions if they were in Spanish.
  18. That's two outings in a row that Graterol has looked flat out dominate.
  19. Be sure to tip your cap to Gibson at the same time
  20. We need Berrios to pitch the start of his career tomorrow.
