    What results would have shown the deadline (non)-Moves to be the wrong decision.

    We've looked terrible for two weeks, but we also looked terrible for about 3 weeks in June. Yet we still find ourselves where we are.

    Didn't we sweep Baltimore less than a month ago? Aren't the rosters almost identical to when that happened?

    But if Robinson strikes out, you can't keep PHing him for Sano because "he's due"

    I feel like Ryan catches the 10pm 'CCO news then heads to bed with a warm glass of milk. He dreams of rainbows and butterflies and wakes up at 7:00am sharp. Breakfast consists of Raisin Bran, half a grapefruit, and decaf coffee which he finishes just before his daily 8:00am morning constitutional.

    Good article summarizing Toronto's lead up to the trade deadline http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mlb-2015-trade-deadline-alex-anthopolous-interview-david-price-troy-tulowitzki-blue-jays/?ex_cid=GrantlandFB Interesting read, but it also kind of makes me sad. Two lines that specifically hit me: Self-preservation is a natural instinct, and mortgaging chunks of your future in pursuit of present goals can come with that instinct. Terry's self-preservation instincts never need to kick in, because he's got a "let us know when you're done, Terry" Contract. “I didn’t sleep a second that night,” Anthopoulos said. “I was too wired.” Has Terry Ryan ever been wired in his entire life? I want a GM that gets wired once in a while and can't wait to feel that feeling again

    They just keep taking pitches hoping for a wild pitch
  8. Whammy
    He had a nice throw yesterday that should have resulted in a out at home plate, but Suzuki couldn't handle it.

    O/U on runs this inning - 2.5
  10. Whammy
    Quality Start!
  11. Whammy
    This is historically our M.O. against Price. Get a run or two early, threaten a big inning, then have him make us look silly while he pitches into the 8th
  12. Whammy
    Can we get a 3 pitch inning?
  13. Whammy
    I'll assume Sano just ignored the bunt sign
  14. Whammy
    As of 2 hours ago, I'd heard of 5 of these guys.

    I think the Astros have made this deadline extra frustrating. We were in the same boat in 2012. Same boat in 2013. Same boat in 2014. Same boat in March. Same boat in May. Same boat in early July. The Twins are not doing moves because "we don't want to mortgage the future", but I don't think we'd say that Houston seems to have mortgaged anything, yet they have significantly improved their potential playoff team while we sit here with essentially the same potential playoff team as we had 3 weeks ago.

    With all these players getting added by the Blue Jays, their 40-man is going to be a mess. Claiming Colabello off waivers is just like making a trade.
  17. Whammy
    Could a James Shields trade center around Plouffe and a 8-15th ranked prospect?
  18. Whammy
    The good news is, with Price being traded, when we sign him in the offseason, it will not cost us a draft pick.
  19. Whammy
    I guess I'm just not necessarily buying that his decline has started this year. We are still in relatively small sample territory here and a couple hot weeks and he'd be over his career OPS. He's almost exactly one year removed from 340/432/603 - 1035 - Before he got hurt. Granted, with another big home/road split, but still.... I'm not ready to accept that he is in the downside of his career.
  20. Whammy
    I'm going to quote this again, because I have a point to make other than "play ball"..... That's the kind of lineup that allows you to get the best damn defense catcher you can find, slot him in the 9th spot, have him hit 0.190, and allow him to make your pitchers better and play great defense. It's been too long since we've had that. We've been relying on offense from our catcher for over a decade now. Enough. I'm jealous of Kansas City. I want to remember what it's like to have a premium defensive catcher.

    Which one are you referring to? I'm not really on board with trading Gibson. Although if nothing else of real value was included I'd probably do it. The savings (in terms of prospects) we could get from including Gibson might just net us a decent short term replacement. But, in general, I'm not really interested in losing Gibson. Berrios on the other hand? You bet. Not that I don't like the kid. I do like him. If anything, I've gotten mad at the "he's too short" crowd for what seemed to me to be an oversimplification. He seems like a really hard worker and has certainly shown a lot of promise, but pitching prospects are SOOOOOOOO hit and miss. If we could rewind the prospect talk by 1 calendar year, the thought of including Meyer in any trade talks would have seemed like sacrilege. Now he's almost a throw-in for some people. Berrios has looked really good in AA and pretty good in AAA, but until he proves it in the majors, I'm totally fine with him being in the trade.

    I'm encouraged that the Twins are talking to Colorado. Not because I think they are going to come to an agreement, but because it shows me the Twins are at least thinking big. With big thoughts, often times come big moves. I'd be a little skeptical if this was only leaked to Walters or Neal, or whoever. The fact that Jeremy got his hands on the info leads me to believe that's it is a) a real conversation taking place between the teams, and not just trade scraps being used to placate the masses.

    Play Ball!!!
  24. Whammy
    All of those young players will be under team control for at least a year past when Tulo's contract is up and 3 years past when Mauer's is up. I guess Gibson's team-control years might not overlap with Tulo, not sure of his exact service time situation, at the moment. But you get the point.
  25. Whammy
    A severely declined, age 34, non-Coors-Field-hitting Troy Tulowitzki is still FAR better than anything the Twins have trotted out in the last....... Ever.
