    Nice play by the fans on the first base line.

    The Cowbomite Maneuver?

    Wonder if he is a little more symmetrical than this other (Mike?!) Gonzalez? http://d3k2oh6evki4b7.cloudfront.net/images-006/headshots/7/75c3d9b1_davis.jpg

    Pfff. Shatner's only 83.

    Over in another thread, CRArko provided a link to a book on arguing intelligently: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2014/03/28/daniel-dennett-rapoport-rules-criticism/ I haven't read the book, only the summary provided there, but it seems in line with the published TD Comment Policy so I thought I would highlight it. In that summary, there is: "let your aim be to come at truth, not to conquer your opponent." This is a sports website, not the Harvard Journal of Baseball, so it's expecting a bit much for everyone to adopt quite such a bloodless outlook when discussing our favorite team. Still, it represents what I think to be a winning attitude for the long haul in a public setting. As an aside, CRArko's reply to a Moderator's Note constituted a technical violation of TD's anti-threadjacking policy, specifically discussion of forum moderation in a baseball thread, but human nature being what it is, I have a hard time issuing him a formal warning for a post that was both complimentary and complementary. But this (Questions About MinnCentric) is the right place for such discussions.

    Has anyone mentioned his BABIP for the Twins is .382? Because, his BABIP for the Twins is .382.

    Then to me he's a fourth outfielder at the very most.

    FYI, if you want to use it, there is an Edit button on the same line under your post as "MultiQuote" and "Quote". You have to play a little hide-and-seek using your mouse to locate it, if your eyes are over 30 years old, but once the mouse/cursor is in the vicinity the options light up. Don't know why.

    Quickest and easiest way for a smaller program to get better is on the offensive side - recruit half a dozen good players and one local stud and you can score some points even when moving up a little in class. It's the defense that at the highest levels can't withstand fielding even one mediocre starter - every opponent will keep going after that position. So the good news might be that the offense the Gophers faced wasn't too far below average. The bad news, that a FCS defense probably isn't very good, also implies some things though. Maybe the Gophers treated this game as an exhibition and chose to hone their own strengths rather than relentlessly try to exploit some gaping weakness. We can hope.

    The mark of a team with scant power: predicting we will hit at least one home run in an upcoming series.

    "Twins scored 11 tonight." "Great! Did they win?" "Old joke. But barely, if you want to know the truth."

    Move to Nevada. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one.
  14. ashbury
    You still scoff?
  15. ashbury
    You won't like it... oops! / didn't actually look, of course
  16. ashbury
    That's what sh-<mmphmphhmmmmphhh>
  17. ashbury
    Close. Neither Stringer nor I had this one in our possible scenarios. / and the chickens haven't hatched yet, either
  18. ashbury
    FTFY.

    Carnac: "Deferred gratification". Ed: Deferred gratification. Carnac: Difficult to get anything past you, my friend. Ed: You are too kind. Carnac: Yes, actually I am. Ed: <pauses> Thank you, your Magnificence. I think. Carnac: If you call that thinking. Ed: Perhaps you should open the envelope. Carnac: What does an animal skinner get from his job?
  20. ashbury
    Carnac: "Carnac". Ed: <double take> Excuse me? Carnac: Carnac. Ed: Yourself? Carnac: Possibly. I only divine the answers. The questions are sealed. Ed: Hermetically. Carnac: What they do in their free time is their own business. Ed: Ah. Your wisdom once again eludes me, yet shines down on all of us. Carnac: Shall I open the envelope? Ed: Sure, why not, your Magnificence. Carnac: What did Henry Ford have?

    My analysis: We should probably try to shut out the Royals the rest of this game.
  22. ashbury
    Very nice slide by Dozier too, giving him any kind of a chance as a normal one would have had him out straightforwardly. But, for naught.
  23. ashbury
    They have a good catcher.
  24. ashbury
    OK. The UND game is currently Rectangle to Green, with Lasagna minutes remaining in the Ozone quarter.
  25. ashbury
    I had the Stop! Hammer Time image cued up, and Josh struck out. Gotta think up some more like that. In the meantime, I'll answer yours with "all of them, including George Brett" just to be safe.
