    Let's definitely send the guy who's been home on the couch watching Cupcake Wars all summer... Thank god I'm not listening to the radio. Not sure I can handle Gladden explaining away one more case of bad base running with another ode to "aggressiveness".
  2. LaBombo
    FIFY. It'll still go down as a hit in the box score, right?
  3. LaBombo
    Yeah, but he's younger than Nolasco, so he can keep nolascoing leads for the Twins for years to come.

    It's been great to see the Twins rebound this season, but there's one thing that still concerns me about the future of the team. It seems pretty clear to me that there's something seriously wrong with Dozier's hair. If it were any other player, it wouldn't be worth mentioning, but the hair is such a big part of Dozier's game. Sure, he's been swinging a hot bat lately, but you can't tempt fate with hair that looks like Wilson from Castaway and get away with it for long... http://f.ptcdn.info/980/042/000/o7qkbrkaoTCXcQuaEIU-o.jpg,

    Agree on the addition by subtraction, especially shedding Plouffe. There's bound to be less enthusiasm for moving Suzuki because he's not blocking anyone near the perceived potential of Sano or Polanco, but the sooner he's gone the sooner they can finally get serious about finding a real replacement for Mauer. Not sure if other teams will block the Twins as aggressively with an interim manager in the captain's chair. Antony is (or should be) looking to distinguish himself rather than avoid mistakes. He may be looking to add another prospect or two OR save ownership a million or two by not pulling back a claimed veteran, in order to build his resume. At the very least, other teams can't count on Antony to act exactly as Ryan would have with waiver claims, which should be a plus.

    Even if it's improbable, it was worth it just for the mental exercises of imagining how Blyleven and Sid would butcher the pronunciation, and how the Twins would cute up his name. " 'Naudsie "?

    So the reflexive expectation management brought on by this season hasn't been totally for naught...

    Undemoted and unbenched? Fair to mostly better than Dantana? His arm looked adequate on the radio. Maybe some thicker socks would make him a bit taller and give him the downward plane those long throws need in order to beat the runner.

    Max Kepler's WAR after 253 PA's: 1.6 Combined WAR of Grossman, Rosario, and Santana: 1.2 Not that Buxton was poised to become part of the solution, but that's a pretty steep dropoff.

    A .wav file recording of your regurge would have been more visceral, but we'll just have to make due with our imaginations.

    Keep watching. You're going to need a lot of patience and a good telephoto lens.
  13. LaBombo
    You're seldom going to take heat for demoting a 22 year old who's below the Mendoza line, and maybe this will turn out for the best. That being said, it's frustrating to think that there may have been ANY role played in this decision by what should be the wholly unrelated fact that 'Trevor Plouffe is healthy'.
  14. LaBombo
    Official now, Buxton down as Plouffe is reactivated. My preference was for them to do what's best for his development and not concern themselves at all with what's best for a team that's competitive again but still going nowhere in 2016. If this is what he needs, great, but I have my doubts.

    Someone used the Foresythe gag yesterday?!?! I'm so sad now that I'm thinking about just watching the Olympics the rest of the day... http://whatsupyasieve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/sad-panda.jpg

    "Twins Demote Sano to Rochester For Burn Rehab at Mayo"

    Logan paid the price for his lack of Forsythe on that pitch. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpfgyfagAj1r0mcbgo1_500.gif

    Love that feeling. But for me it usually precedes something rather humbling... http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5kzkudXiA1qmal6z.gif

    Sano with pretty good contact there.... http://microflown-avisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/artillery1.jpg
  21. LaBombo
    As bad as that was, it didn't compare to the shock and awe of Brussel Sprout Backlash... http://sandiegofreepress.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/iraq-shock-and-awe.jpg
  22. LaBombo
    Rogers wisely stops the clock with that spike and saves a time out.
  23. LaBombo
    I honestly don't know, but it's happening in Spain, and if you need any further explanation, I can't imagine what it would be.
  24. LaBombo
    I didn't even know he'd been traded. What did KSTP get for him?
  25. LaBombo
    I've got an idea! Don't pitch to Longoria like he's some no-name prospect they just brought up from AA.
