    That's the Grossman we know and love!

    Way to pitch like an All-Star, Jake. Let's get right into the pen ASAP.
  3. MMMordabito
    I'd rather drop a load for the Buc's other lefty.

    I know people don't like to give up too much in a trade, but it seems the Twins are in a position to slightly overpay to get what they want. Overypay for trades now, or just get picked over in the Rule 5 later. On the other hand, do players like Diaz fit as an attractive part 2 of a package? The acquiring team will know that one of their 40-man spots just got consumed.

    Wow ... RIP Tyler ... Here one day, gone the next ... Too young ... He pitched at a game that I attended this season (served up a Polanco bomb) ... Sympathy to the family and Angels team

    Christmas and Easter hold no sanctity for me, but you would be messing with the engine that drives consumerism. Careful. I will give the controllers of Easter a thumbs up for putting it on a Sunday (yes, I understand that the business week may have been developed somewhat around the Christian Sunday, but do you want to reinvent the wheel?). American Islam and Judaism may want to follow suit and do the same with their observances.

    I agree, until school and workplace policy starts being affected to accomodate this crap. Do it in your home, church or gathering site. People need to understand when they come here that we don't operate the entire country around a religious text anymore. That used to be the case, but now, we are fortunate enough to have liquor stores (and other businesses) open on Sunday. When I see an email from a teacher moving a test date up for an entire class, because parents were complaining that it isn't fair because their child has to observe Ramadan that day, I shake my head in disgust. When one of our development managers loses his office that he earned, so that four employees in the entire building can have a "meditation room", I shake my head in disgust. When the principal at elementary school cancels the Halloween party and replaces it with a stale fall fest because parents were complaining that their children felt left out, since they weren't allowed to participate in this optional party due to religious views, I again shake my head in disgust. Let's not go backwards.

    I agree with this statement, since it highlights the reason for the whole mess. Politics. On one side you have fear-mongering Trump using the wall and examples like Ms. Funes-Diaz to get emotional reactions and push his politics. If you don't agree, then you hate your country. On the other side you have dim-witted Cortez calling for open borders and using examples like the Valerias to get emotional reactions and push her politics. If you don't agree, then you are a Nazi. I'll be surprised if there is anyone enlightened enough that has even an ounce of power to look at big picture and understand the values of immigration, asylum, vetting, order, being humane and protecting what has been built. There isn't. Neither side cares as long as they keep power.

    In that was the case, I would be saying that Lindor over Polanco is a joke. #boycottallstargame
  10. MMMordabito
    Screw the All-Star game ... Betts and Meadows over Kepler and Mancini is a joke .... That led to Means over Berrios ... A top 3 team in MLB has only two reps ... Lindor over Bogaerts is also a joke Polanco will probably get one PA, so that Cleveland can have S#$%#-eating grin Lindor in there for their fans. Will Odorizzi even pitch? July 8-11 looks like a good Summer Fan Break from baseball. #boycottallstargame
  11. MMMordabito
    Hey, at least Duffey looks ready for more high leverage appearances
  12. MMMordabito
    What was that about the outfield defense?
  13. MMMordabito
    I'm sure it is, but that's why Johnson should have visited him after the Walk-Hit-Walk sequence. Now the Twins need a couple more 10 pitch PAs against Giolito to have a chance against the bullpen.
  14. MMMordabito
    Little late, Wes ... Should have been out after the walk
  15. MMMordabito
    That might be ballgame.
  16. MMMordabito
    Thorpe looks like he's going to be a rollercoaster ride. Good stuff, but lots of overthrows.
  17. MMMordabito
    Berrios going 7.1 innings the day after an 18 inning game even when he wasn't pitching his A game may end up being an incredibly important losing performance. At least Cleveland got rammed by a team that couldn't even win 1 out of 6 against the Twins. Are we really worried about a team that is only 1 game above .500 against Baltimore?
  18. MMMordabito
    No Wade in the OF? I wonder if he is still making his way to the cities. Maybe a weather delay will get him in the lineup. Honestly, another off-day would be just what the doctor ordered.
  19. MMMordabito
    Shell-shocked ... Time for some pizza and zen meditation with Master Splinter I do hope this means Max, Eddie and Byron will be roaming together soon
  20. MMMordabito
    Need a barrage at Chicago this weekend to keep a healthy number over 300 at the half-way mark
  21. MMMordabito
    I agree that the strategy was reasonable, but not with the player that was tasked with executing it. Tom's critique of Baldelli not using the strengths of his players correctly is justified. Other's have added some information in the comments that seem to back the critique as well. Schoop looked completely lost and out of place trying to execute the bunt. The good thing is that Arraez and Cruz picked him (and Polanco) up, the bullpen held, and the number in the W column is one higher than it was at 7:09 PM CST on 6/26.
  22. MMMordabito
    The World Champs are 7-3 vs. the worst team in baseball, and some of those games could have gone either way as well. Yes, the Royals are pesky and probably do some fundamental things a bit better than the Twins, but their formula paired with their current talent level isn't a recipe for success and the record shows.
  23. MMMordabito
    At this time, I'm cool with Arraez being shuttled a bit, but come playoff time, he needs to be on the team. I think his presence on the team gives them the best chance to win. His hit tool and zone control have been amazing so far.
  24. MMMordabito
    "has not done much" "not interested" That sounds like a pitch for a bucket of balls, or at most another team's Hildenberger.
  25. MMMordabito
    When a player who put together the PAs that Arraez did tonight is your 3rd or 4th option in the lead-off spot, things are going well.
