    Somebody has his number. Hard to believe a guy that good is just a private citizen now. If they haven't, the Twins should reach out.

    The silence here thus far speaks volumes...

    Cross-posting from an article with a different view on the same topic: Sitting here in the middle of week seven of work-from-home, I really, really want to see what the 2020 Twins can do. But think on Poe's "Masque of the Red Death." Every effort to seal away a healthy population from an epidemic inevitably fails. Contagion is hard to contain. Bottom line: If one player, one umpire, one coach or trainer, one member of the grounds crew, one camera operator, one driver, caterer, janitor or anybody else associated with such an effort were to get sick and die - IT WOULD NOT BE WORTH IT. Corollary: If an effort like this were to take resources away from treating the sick, or keeping ordinary people healthy wherever they are it would be hard to justify morally.

    Up side: At least everybody will be in top shape by the time somebody shouts, "Play ball!" again. Unless 'Mason' falls off his horse...?

    Taking measures to prevent contagion now means we get to the end of the epidemic sooner, which means we get a faster, stronger recovery for business and our pastimes. Follow CDC and local health agency guidelines, everybody, and be well. See you at the ball yard soon! Cheers!

    Apologies, of course that was Mark Twain. It was Fields who said, "Always carry thirteen pitchers on your roster in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake."

    Too much of anything isn't good for you, except pitching, and then too much is barely enough! - W.C. Fields

    This from the team that gave us Herbie & The Rat.

    Miguel Sano, picking machine!
  11. VivaBomboRivera!
    He's a pickin' machine!

    Was the game called due to weather or a skunk?
  13. VivaBomboRivera!
    No. Just no.

    Nice shot of the facility at daybreak

    Donaldson's line in last year's Braves series loss to the Cards had to be disappointing. Let's hope he's good-n-hungry...
  16. VivaBomboRivera!
    Nice work if you can get it.
  17. VivaBomboRivera!
    Are we there yet?

    Pulled some 2019 numbers out of curiousity: Maeda - 53 BB, 169 SO in 153.2 IP Odorizzi - 53 BB, 178 SO in 159 IP Berrios - 51 BB, 195 SO in 200.1 IP Price - 32BB, 128 SO in 107.1 IP Cole - 48 BB, 326 (!) SO in 212.1 IP Wheeler - 50 BB, 195 SO in 195.1 IP

    As long as he passes his physical. No more Sam Dysons!
  20. VivaBomboRivera!
    Says it all right there.
  21. VivaBomboRivera!
    The operative word here is "if." Maeda is a known quantity at the ML level, Graterol is not. These are the dice that get rolled when dealing prospects for established players. The Twins now have a competent staff to go with a world-beating batting order, and a reliable bullpen to back both up. I'm looking into flights and tickets for a big September.

    Baseball Reference says the altercation with Perkins took place on 9 Apr 2014...? Burton gave up a 3R HR in the 11th for a 7 - 4 loss.
  23. VivaBomboRivera!
    Pickin' machine!
  24. VivaBomboRivera!
    I'll repeat (for the last time) what I have said elsewhere: Four words: Miguel Sano, pickin' machine!
