    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.

    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.

    And no errors for Sano!

    He loves the smell of quality start in a road game.

    I got just the thing for that in my tackle box... http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/luYAAMXQTghRTN3c/s-l300.jpg

    Max's dad, you are lean and angular! Now is the time on FSN Postgame when we dance!

    Real Alec Baldwin in this looks to me like Herman Munster trying to avoid stepping in dog poo.

    That sounds much more doable than our attempt at chickens#!^ chess. If you think it's hard to explain the en passant rule to 4th graders, try getting a Cornish game hen to understand. "If your chicken lays an egg does it count as another queen?" "Of course it counts! How do you play?" http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/TSOTL.jpeg

    I had always imagined it was patient introspection on Nishioka's face, but maybe he had skipped ahead to boredom. http://www.twincities.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20110311_105647_nishioka.jpg And depression.

    Or if your team were on pace to lose... like... one hundred games or something. That's never happened, though, right? Because if each game lasts like three hours and you watched all 100 losses, you'd end up watching... like, what... 300 hours of losing baseball? But that could never happen. Right?

    That explains why I could hear Longoria's dad yelling from the stands during Evan's rookie year, riding the manager for not batting him cleanup.

    Thank goodness I'm not the only one who takes it seriously. The other parents were pretty skeptical of me during my assistant coaching days when I encouraged the kids to charge the T if it brushed them back.

    When the ball is fouled back out of play I almost expect to hear a crash followed by a car alarm going off. I've been to T ball games with more crowd noise.

    Do what I do. Just pretend he's Carlos Gomez and imagine how much butt he's going to kick in the future.. for another team, when we trade him for a guy we end up giving away for a box of balls.

    Works for me. Part of the reason I liked Chuck Knoblauch was because he has a square head like mine which can be perfectly replicated with Legos. Edit: And not one of those wussy Lego kits the kids have now that are basically snap together model kits. I'm talking about the generic Legos that you could make into anything at long as it was mostly square.

    Just think how bad they'd be if they weren't all products of one of the top farm systems in baseball...

    A waiver acquisition that hits like Ted Williams for a month is due to regress in the same way that your car 'regresses' when you drive it into a pole... But the OBP is still pretty amazing. Expected that to dip down to .350 by now.

    A chance for him to reach first without pulling a hamstring. Or a prime rib.
