    Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. The original poster said Donaldson, Murphy, Eovaldi WOULDN’T be a blockbuster offseason?

    My understanding of Greinke’s contact is that he’s only owed around 14.5m next year, which is the same as Goldschmidt. So technically, that would still leave quite a bit of room in the 2019 budget.

    I don't see $50M as anywhere close to all in. $50 leaves us short of last years payroll. "All in" to me is like $10M higher than last year's opening day payroll, which would be like $65-$70M spent Though I do agree that $50M well spent could get us close to having a contender.

    Tyler Wells not being on the Prospects Live top 30 list was a miss. No matter what you think of him in terms of ceiling, once you get to AA and are putting up really good numbers it's pretty hard to justify not being in the top 30

    “Shofered” LOL

    With the win, the Twins finished with the same home record as the Indians and have a better home record than Houston. 7th best home record in MLB

    I bet there will be a few very aggressive prospect rankings for Kirilloff this winter. Top 20 The mid-season ones were before he did the same thing at High-A as he did at Low-A.

    "LoFo" made me giggle. But I though about it and decided I like "LoFor" better (pronounced "Loafer"). Like a comfy old shoe I'd wear around the house.

    Someone was listening to the Initials Game this morning

    Takes two to tango.

    Maybe this has always been obvious to everyone but it just sort of dawned on me. We talk about how most batters need an adjustment period to adjust from seeing minor league pitchers to seeing major league pitcher. That makes logical sense. Major league pitchers have faster and nastier stuff. So wouldn't it stand to reason that a catcher would need an adjustment period to CATCHING major league pitching? Faster and nastier makes it harder to catch and block, not to mention the idea of calling the pitches for someone with faster and nastier stuff than you're used to catching.

    As for the date that would affect team control years.... I believe it was just before they sent him down. So, there is no date the rest of this year that would affect that at all.

    Lollygagging?

    Whammy commented on ashbury's blog entry in Left Coast Bias

    I'd say the gas was off, then he decided to turn it on once he realized it was going to be close.

    59% of homeruns are solo shots (this data is surprising difficult to find. That number is a couple seasons old and if anything I would expect it to be higher now) While 8 is slightly lucky, if that number was 7, that would be considered slightly unlucky.

    I've always wondered, when pitchers talk like that, what exactly are they changing? Thumb location? Lower in the fingers? Different seams altogether?
  17. Whammy
    Does athleticism contribute to pitch speed?
  18. Whammy
    Worst slide ever? I mean, he was still safe, but that was ugly.

    Did a double-take at the Chattanooga boxscore: http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?cid=&lid=&org=142&sc=&sid=milb&t=affiliate&ymd=20180507
  20. Whammy
    Maybe because he hasn't pitched much the last couple years, he will "age" slower
  21. Whammy
    Not to mention they changed the rules on him after the fact. That hardly seemed fair.
  22. Whammy
    Dozier is just a victim of temperature. Poor Brian.
  23. Whammy
    Bremergasm!!!!

    With some help from Tom Emanski

    I don’t mind Rodney as the closer, but not leaving Reed in after 9 pitches was extremely questionable
