    This national announcing team is driving me bonkers
  2. Whammy
    That 2-1 curve to Garcia was NAST-AAAY
  3. Whammy
    Bingo: “balance point” ... and then Dick drops a “fantasy camp”
  4. Whammy
    LOL @ the tag on that fly ball
  5. Whammy
    Where would you have liked Mayer to run to and wait to make sure it wasn’t getting caught? 2nd base? Past 2nd?
  6. Whammy
    I have no idea how they would do it and I’m not advocating for it, but it would be very intersting to see a full major league season without the shift
  7. Whammy
    Joe playing it to score on that flyball double by Sano would’ve been pretty risky. A few feet shorter and that would’ve been caught
  8. Whammy
    Pathetic
  9. Whammy
    I so badly want to look up Verlander’s average pitches per start.
  10. Whammy
    Man, those 4-run homers sure do help more than those 1-run homers
  11. Whammy
    The only way to hit 500 is to have a ridiculous BABIP
  12. Whammy
    Has literally anyone said these things?
  13. Whammy
    8-man rotation for Rochester?
  14. Whammy
    Yeah, remember a few years back when the Yankees were hoping A-Rod would get suspended...... so they didn't have to pay him.
  15. Whammy
    For sure the player is suspended without pay. Being forced to give it to charity wouldn't be without pay because if would severely diminish their taxable income and they basically wouldn't owe any taxes on the rest of the money they earned. If the team is still forced to fork over the money (which I'm highly skeptical of), then it would be THEM that get to donate it.

    SportTrac looks to consider it not part of payroll: http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/minnesota-twins/payroll/2015/
  17. Whammy
    I believe that's how fines work, but not suspensions.
  18. Whammy
    Out of 3.5 We didn’t have to pay him that first half year
  19. Whammy
    Would you prefer Lynn 4/56 or 1/12? I bet it’s a mixed bag on here I think Lynn wanted to bet on himself but I would think two weeks ago 4/56 would’ve been pretty enticing.
  20. Whammy
    Could just be procedural
  21. Whammy
    Can Lamonte Wade switch to RH? That would help.
  22. Whammy
    Given the Twins’ recent luck he’ll probably need surgery that is performed on pitchers 99% of the time. Or maybe a completely different sport. Tennis Elbow? Cauliflower Ear Infection? Black Lung?
  23. Whammy
    I’ve been on vacation and am not fully caught up in the thread, but I have two quick points about Odorizzi’s BABIP.... 1) his BABIP was lower than one would expect partially because so many of his batted balls left play. I suspect the entire league has a lower than normal BABIP 2) I wonder what his BABIP would have been if you normalize his very high HR/FB percentage and consider those new “non HR” as fly ball outs.
  24. Whammy
    Unless the last starter you are using is below replacement. (Not that I think that is the case here)
  25. Whammy
    This is an interesting ramification of the depressed FA market that I hadn't thought about. Not only as it relates to Dozier but also the other 5 (?) guys the Twins would be interested in talking to about an extension. Obviously it depends on how he does this year, but I think this FA market would make it more likely that Dozier would take the ~18M qualifying offer. I mean, I don't think he'd get Cain money (5/80M), so if he was a FA right now, what could he expect? 4/60? 3/50? Especially if he had a draft pick tied to him. Same goes for less potentially stratospheric players like Rosario, Kepler, and Polanco (though I'm a big Rosario fan).... would this market make them more willing to add a couple potential FA years on to an extension? Maybe. Would Eddie take a Yelich-esque offer of 7/50M, which would buy out two of his FA years?
