    With the short-lived exceptions of two Hall of Fame mangers, no other non-expansion organization in baseball since WWII has retained its manager after three 90+ - loss seasons. The Twins have done it twice. Kelly delivered two World Series wins. Gardenhire has delivered one of the lowest post-season win percentages ever. Plus, three catchers. Time to move on.

    And it's a matter of historical fact that in any other organization it would be a much harder problem to fix than the manager's Catcher Injury Anxiety Disorder. But the Twins are likely to struggle just as hard to kick their Gardy addiction as they are to put offense on the field.

    With all due respect, what are you talking about, BroBeau? Straw. Man.

    A's 2014 run differential: 135, after just one start apiece by two newly-acquired pitchers with a cumulative 5.3 WAR this season. Total of all other division leaders' run differentials: 152

    Fwiw, my guess is that Anderson's failures have outweighed his successes, subjective though that guess may be. That being said, Worley's early success needs to be taken with a grain of salt. In addition to the small sample size, his opponent babip is nearly 100 points below his career average, and his strand rate has been nearly 15% above his average. Even allowing for the good luck, though, his fip and xfip remain below 4. Too early to call Worley another Anderson whiff, but it's not looking good for RA on this one.

    Three years of rebuilding, and Epstein has put together a roster with 3 players over 30, and and the 6th youngest in baseball. Three years of rebuilding, and Ryan has put together a roster with 11 players over 30, and the 6th oldest in baseball. The quantity of young players on the MLB roster is clearly a lesser measure of the progress of a rebuilding effort than the quality of the prospects acquired and developed. But it certainly warrants consideration when comparing the two GM's. And the Cubs are consistently ranked just behind the Twins among the top five farm systems in baseball. That was before the injuries to Sano and Buxton, and before Epstein acquired one of the top-ranked shortstop prospects in the minors, along with the OF the A's took in the first round last year, and a 25 year old starter with 190 K's in 230 MLB innings.

    Does the Smithsonian have a way for people to make tax-free contributions to the cause of preserving lines like these? Sconnie is the missing Coen brother.

    Yokota Approach: "We have an A-4 stuck after a runway departure due to heavy rain. Doesn't look good. Might want to re-figure bingos and alternates." Long pause. Anonymous (ok, jarhead, not that tatwwt) C-130 pilot: "How much of the scooter is still on the runway?"

    The public transit is good, but practice driving on the wrong side of the road ON YOUR PC, please, not in real USA life. Congrats. My months in Japan were some of the most memorable and rewarding of my life.
