    I won't give up http://38.media.tumblr.com/4c9b06bb0870bd7adaddb9e326d2c06a/tumblr_nfq0g9Imag1s2wio8o4_500.gif

    I'll give you Clevinger. Same amount of service time but he is 3 years older at age 28. Bieber is pitching well this year and that is only one year. I think Cleveland makes this deal. But at least we've moved off of 4 Cleveland pitchers.

    Let's try this one http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/42000000/Batman-Gif-Image-1966-whatsupbugs-42099410-498-266.gif

    I agree that Cleveland has scary depth with their pitching. However: Would you trade Berrios straight up for Clevinger? Would you trade Berrios straight up for Bieber? Would you trade Berrios straight up for Plesac? Would you trade Berrios straight up for Civale? Would Cleveland make any of these proposed trades. I think they make all 4 deals.

    You are correct When you say arguably.

    Maybe Jack Cave goes 8 for 10 with 4 home runs in the next series against the Indians. The possibility of all possibilities are hard to list without carpal tunnel afterwards.

    Oh God... I won't put a dollar on the Twins against the Yankees in a playoff series either. I also won't put a dollar on the Yankees against the Twins either. I've seen decades and decades of playoff series results and have acquired enough information over my lifetime to not touch this sort of bet with a ten foot pole.

    No Assumption So now please instead of later. A hypothesis at best. Plain ole Wishful Thinking is also a strong possibility... but obvious recognition that we need to try something else in both the rotation and bullpen.

    I do I also notice the similarity between the call for Graterol, Romero and the call to city officials to fix a pothole.

    There is a clear difference between Camp A: Gumdrops and Lollipops Camp B: Not Knowing what is going to happen Camp C: Not Brushing Aside past history or warning signs. Sometimes while countering confident Camp C Posts The Camp B Posters gets accused of sounding like an Camp A poster.

    Because you are wrong. Check the words you use. Thumped? Consistent? Then check the standings Then check the run differential Then check the remaining schedule Then consider if you tend to embellish toward the "Everything with the Twins is ****" side of things... just a little bit. Then check the actual records against winning teams. Then check the box scores of the actual games. Then check the actual records of other winning teams against other winning teams. Then compare and contrast. Then consider the moving target that is (winning/losing teams). Are the Mets a winning team Now? Were the Mets a winning team a month ago? Then strongly consider if you are twisting the definition of "Thumped" and "Consistent" beyond the recognition of those with a standard education. Then consider that you are walking into a room full of people who have checked all of the things listed above and many more things not listed. And then consider if they know what "Thumped" and "Consistent" means. And then imagine their opinion of your CONSISTENT, "Everything with the Twins is ****" posts.

    If you feel this was a huge win. It was However, Wait until the win tomorrow... and the one after that... and the one after that. They only get huge'er from here.

    The easy answer is: Buxton is so important defensively that he personally improves our pitching so much that we lose when he isn't in the lineup. The more complicated answer and most likely, the correct answer, is a combination of many different factors. Including, the timing of his injury, to a time when the team is actually struggling. If you choose to believe that Buxton is so important that he is responsible for that 9-15 record during his D.L. time. You also have to choose to believe that the team is much better with Nelson Cruz and Mitch Garver on the IL because the team went 15-3 during that stretch.

    Every once in awhile, I like to think about the 2014 A's. July 5th they were 54-33 and holding a 3.5 game lead over the Angels. That's when they traded Addison Russell, Straily and McKinney to the Cubs for Samardzija. Later, of course they acquired Jon Lester. And Sam FULD!!! Samardzija and Lester joined Sonny Gray, Scott Kazmir, Jesse Chavez and Drew Pomeranz who were also doing a real nice job in the starting rotation. And Tommy MILONE!!! On August 1st, 2014 after the trade deadline. The A's were 66-42 They went 22-32 the rest of the way. The game isn't played on paper and clearly they should have hung on to Milone!
