    Not sure how to break this to you Dave, but someone has been posting on your account while you were in that coma during the month of July...

    If you played Let's Make a Deal with opposing teams and offered them a chance to face Boyer to start an inning or forfeit the inning in exchange for a run, would it even matter to them what the game situation was? Yes, his ERA is below 9, but wouldn't almost any team right now, under almost any circumstances, have a go at Boyer instead of exchanging the inning for a free run?

    Depends on the lighting, maybe? But hey, Twins fans got Kevin Jepsen, the trade deadline's Sweat Pants and Pint of Hagen Daz..

    Well, Dantana and his cherry red '57 could be back in September, right? Give it some time. Still two months to go. http://www.modelroundup.com/v/vspfiles/photos/AMT-3105-2.jpg

    Yup. Then he Rick Reeded his hand picking up his duffel bag, but that's off the record.

    Out indefinitely with concussion. Slid head first into the door of the training facility in Ft. Meyer.

    Kind of surprised they didn't force Mauer to play a day game after a... day game, just to stick to one of the few more important Twins Way rules, Maximizing Platoon Disadvantage.
  9. LaBombo
    True, but on the flip side, if you'd have told me the Twins would still be in it at the halfway point against a lineup of Tulo, Donaldson, JBats, Encarn, and five French Canadian lingerie mannequins I'd have been pretty stoked.

    When I heard that it made me want to mess up his hair so bad that if it were school picture day they'd make him do retakes.

    Price in 2014 form. Pelfrey 2014, that is.
  12. LaBombo
    Holding it by the thin end is working wonders. Brunanasky worth every penny yet again.

    Agree with much of what you said, but not sure that Tonkin's MLB numbers really suggest failure. His ERA in his 11 innings this year looks awful, but almost all of it was a result of a HR/9 rate that was more than 4 times his previous MLB rate. His other peripherals were slightly better than Jep's 2015 numbers, and most of his three year MLB peripheral averages are substantially better. And much more relevant now that the trade has been made, Tonkin's MLB peripherals, including this year's, mostly suggest that he's a better pitcher than Boyer, Graham, Thompson, and Duensing.
  14. LaBombo
    Yes, along with a higher K rate than Jep, a walk rate just over half of KJ's, and a 3.65 FIP/3.07 xFIP to match. So he not only cost less than the Jepster, he's also got some peripherals that suggest he's at least as likely as him to succeed over last two months of the season. As far as the "angst" regarding the deal is concerned, unless there are individual posts that specify otherwise, it seems safe to assume that it's all in the context of the overall lack of attention to the bullpen. For me personally, the price for two months of Jepsen seems higher than expected though hardly outlandish, but the strategy of giving up those prospects for a Jepsen this late in the season, but otherwise standing pat (barring waver surfing) with this pen while still in contention seems suspect at best and exasperating at worst.

    You're welcome to some extra four-letters that I was saving for the trade deadline...

    It's in there somewhere... just let me have another look. http://i.imgur.com/LieF0Ae.png

    Perkins... the cure for your friend who's ailing from too much late night Twins bullpen...

    The importance of teamwork, demonstrated once again...
  21. LaBombo
    11 lead changes, 3 bullpen-induced TD poster cardiac events, and a just barely sub-lightspeed Sano pop foul that vaporized a massive asteroid just outside the earth's atmosphere. Other than that, not really.
  22. LaBombo
    Tie game. See, there's nothing a little profanity can't fix, Brock. That is what the little star thingies were, right?
  23. LaBombo
    He's on Pacific time, so he gets two extra hours before fossilhood sets in. Why didn't I think of that?
  24. LaBombo
    Referencing the Twins' 50th win tonight, it sounded like Tim Laudner just said that last season the Twins didn't get their 50th win until late April of this year. That... doesn't sound right, but it's Tim, so I'm going to have to trust him.
  25. LaBombo
    Trying this now with butter pecan ice cream sprinkled with Hostess Ho Ho's. Normally this wouldn't appeal to me, but the civil defense sirens are going off here in the 'hood, and if the dog and I are fated to go Dorothy and Toto into the great beyond, it's not going to be while I'm eating a g.d. rice cake...
