    And don't fall for it if some guy calling himself Phillip DeWayne comes to spring training as a non-roster invite, either.

    I was imagining the "moider" quote being in Curly Howard's voice. But we certainly have the same era in mind.

    Well, good time to go chop some weeds and then eat some dinner. BRB.

    Weather delay, or just really really really slow internet feeds on Yahoo and ESPN? / Hah, won't edit this out, but some synchronicity going on with you, Glorm

    That's the name of the guy who ran the ROTC program at our high school. Wonder if they're related.
  6. ashbury
    He Cust in 1925 too, according to stories.

    Are you kidding? Shields is the guy they traded Babe Ruth for! He's gonna moider us!

    Also, tap into the individual stats listing at your favorite website, and sort by IP, by SO, by SO/9, by ERA - there is no evident pattern that putting up lots of strikeouts harms the ability to go many innings. This is empirical evidence that goes along with what Brock said: some of these guys are just plain *good*. (And there are guys like Dickey and Guthrie who succeed without the Ks. It takes all kinds.)

    I would be interested to read the sensible responses if the Cardinals ground crew were installing Wiccan symbols.

    He's no Don Mossi.

    Easy one-two-three (-four-five) ninth inning for Perkins.
  13. ashbury
    A Fatale point of view.

    Quick bottom of the eighth. Twins offense wants to show their confidence in Perk.

    I think Eric Hosmer should be suspended from baseball, or at least made to change his name. Every time I see his name in the play-by-play I do a double take thinking the Royals just got a tater.

    All's well that ends.

    Good call, ghost of Carnac.
  18. ashbury
    Carnac: "Hanging curve." Ed: Hanging curve. You know, I tried out for my college baseball team long ago. Carnac: ... but the Towel Boy job was already taken. Ed: Hey-yo! I'll have you know, I had some skills, back in the day. Carnac: Too bad it was the team's travel day. Oh, and may the fleas of a thousand corked bats infest your steroid mix. Ed: Hey-yo! Would you be so kind as to open the envelope? Carnac: What is Dolly Parton left with, after all these years?

    I'm not touchin' that one.
  20. ashbury
    Yes. Move on. I don't care if other attacks have gone without intervention; it's been 15 years since my youngest child was 5 years old and used that kind of rebuttal.

    The deletion comment, a few posts above your question, reads: This message has been deleted by ashburyjohn. Reason Final sentence was a personal attack, contrary to Comments Policy #1 I thought it would be self-explanatory. The TD Comments Policy is found at http://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-talk/5759-updated-comment-policy.html The specific item is #1, "Personal attacks or insults". His first two sentences were fine, as a critique. The last sentence violates policy; I would also add the personal observation that the post actually reads better if this sentence had been omitted. But I'm not going to get into the business of editing people's posts for them.

    Unless in very long-relief, how will bullpen work get him to be effective past 5 innings?
  23. ashbury
    The topic of Blackburn's sunk-cost contract has been beaten to death and fits the recently modified Comment Policy on trolling, and since it has already generated responses in kind, I am closing the thread.
  24. ashbury
    I interrupt this Hicks-fest to thank Parker for another edifying pictorial explanation of what's going on with a player. / edit - I think of an open stance as what a pull hitter adopts to maximize home run power. With 1 HR so far this season in the majors, it's too soon to say much, but at Rochester his power numbers were actually up, assuming he was using this swing down there too. I guess I'm wrong to think closing the stance means consciously giving up some portion of his power.

    Moderator's Note: Folks, this thread is already starting to drift from the topic of Logan Darnell; a side comment by the original poster has taken life as a review of the perceived failings of the front office. If one of you feels this is un-tilled ground, feel free to start a new thread of your own.
