  1. Does Rex stop to explain when a batter has three balls?
  2. Do not adjust your screen. It's just Pelfrey.
  3. Your turn? So now you can have the liver 'n' onions you were craving?
  4. ¿ʇı sǝop 'ʞɹoʍ ʎllɐǝɹ ʇ,usǝop ʇɐɥ┴
  5. He's already committed to a double-header in New Britain and Rochester, and they don't want to tax his arm.
  6. Presumably they already have the outline of a deal worked out, and the signing will be quick - even if he stalls until the deadline he'll get some pro innings under his belt this year and we'll see what our shiny new present under the Christmas-in-June tree really looks like.
  7. Hard to imagine the two events were unrelated.
  8. Kohl Stewart. Good. I think.
  9. If RB was here he'd say "being upside down makes me dizzy".
  10. I didn't know you could change the screen name. I may give up swapping avatars, and go with name swaps instead. If RB is absent tonight, maybe I will stand in for him.
  11. My sources agree, but go on to say that they could surprise everybody.
  12. Fair enough. I missed the forest for the trees.
  13. Using tonight as an avatar the enigmatic Vera from the draft thread. http://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-talk/7047-official-day-1-draft-thread.html#post122288 / edit - or maybe I'll alternate with upside-down Riverbrian avatar
  14. Who knows, maybe she will bring Pelf some luck tonight.
  15. Fair observation, but in keeping with John B's point, you also need to factor in how many other times such injuries have been flagged pre-draft and nothing happened to go wrong later. That requires a ton of data and then analysis.
  16. The two things I'm unclear on in this are 1) what information actually would do any good, and 2) what is the prevalence of falsified information.
  17. My wife will vouch, they'll have to pry my armchair from my cold dead fingers.
  18. Bill James was the first I saw to point out that you can construct that ordering of positions based on how low a player's offense can go before he loses his starting job there. Catcher is so different from all the other positions that it's hard to picture it being on any spectrum at all, but in a world where a Drew Butera doesn't get DFAed it says a lot toward putting C all the way to the left. I don't think a manager will put up with as low an OPS from his third baseman as from his second baseman, so I can't go along with you in putting those two close or in opposite order.
  19. My spidey-sense is telling me she's either a prank, scam, or sting of some kind. My apologies, Vera, if I am wrong.
  20. At 6 months older, Willie Mays was Willie Mays-ing it (1.300+ OPS) in AAA, not 1.000+ OPS in A. That's a big difference. I'm a Buxton fan but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
  21. I think we need an equivalent for the defensive side. How about "it'll look like a night of soft comebackers in the box score tomorrow"?
  22. Have you managed to form an opinion yet?
  23. I sold the young fella short at the beginning of the game.
  24. /True story/ Everybody on the planet, including those "watching" by text, after Morneausie swings at a 55 ft curve for strike three: "Why was he swinging at that?"
