  1. Someone from Central Michigan goes #1 in the NFL draft. Big Ten recruiters dropping the ball?
  2. I read the article and I get the impression that Terry Ryan runs an organization and he has people that he relies upon and trusts. Sounds a lot like most businesses in all professions. He says in the article that he gets an opinion from Goin on everything. Billy Beane probably wasn't a sabermetric expert and got opinions from DePodesta. Epstein Hired Bill James to provide opinion. I guess I just read the article differently.
  3. Discussion and Opinions are always interesting. Personally... I start to cringe when the discussion and opinions start labeling professionals as idiots or inept without context of what exactly they have done or are capable of doing.
  4. Specifically... I don't know... But in all of baseball... There has to be a Lars Anderson type CF who can be acquired for next to nothing and then provide backup duties until Mastro is back. He won't be Mike Trout but he may make a catch and get a knock here and there.
  5. Sinkers need to be down in the zone. They tend to come in flat if you leave them up. You produce more of a drop and produce more ground balls with the downward plane. A flat sinker left up in the zone... Tends to make a solid loud sound when they come off the bat because they get tagged. Miami bats (Even on outs)... produced that loud sound over and over again on Tuesday Night.
  6. Stunning talent... He just wasn't ready for us. We wasted this guy IMO.
  7. If he continues to struggle... The Twins may have to inform him that he is hurt. Pelfrey: do you have any Tums??? I Had a little too much to eat at Murray's. Gardy: Stomach Ache Pelfey: Yeah a little... Gardy: (on cell phone) Terry... Gardy here... Pelf has a stomach problem. Terry: Stomach problem... How did you know... We already placed him on the DL. Gardy: yeah... Better safe than sorry... This could be serious. Terry: the trainer was going to talk with him today and let him know he has an ulcer. Gardy: (To Pelfrey)... Terry talked with the trainer... You have an Ulcer. Pelfrey: I haven't even seen the trainer. I just ate a little too much... Just forget it I don't need the tums. Gardy: we gotta be careful with these things... We are putting you on the D.L. Pelfrey: I don't have an ulcer Gardy: I'm sorry Pelf but you are not a medical professional. (Gardy starts walking away) Pelfrey: I haven't seen a medical professional... How would he know???
  8. I couldn't agree more... You and I are seemingly part of a very small club though.
  9. Bonehead base running. Miami Bad
  10. Ok... That's enough testing Parm
  11. Well played Parm... Way to know your wall.
  12. Ripened... Blossomed... that's for girls.
  13. Cool... You saw the stop sign. Many speed right thru.
  14. Have you ever tried to hit with a chest protector and face mask?
  15. Good question... I gotta go with Morneau.
  16. Yeah... No doubt... Been some bad baseball.
  17. While the Correia debate was spirited in its debate... I think we can agree that Gardy left Pelfrey in too long.
  18. I gotta ask... Bulldog? Whenever someone is a fighter... Battles thru the tough times... Stubborn... They are sometimes referred to as a Bulldog. Is this really the nature of a bulldog? I find Bulldogs to be docile and affable. I think Rottweiler or Pitbull is better.
  19. I don't know who should be this teams designated Starting Short Stop... but... Escobar is hot and he should play while he is hot.
  20. Ultima... KC and Detroit rained out.
  21. Yeah... Pretty much... That was a LF slice and Arcia had a RF slice route.
