    All he does is win!

    Can we puh-leaze stop counting unhatched chickens?

    Aside from the ten-run outburst in the 3rd, the Royals are holding them to a much more respectable 7-1.

    Consider cutting down on the happy-hour purchases.

    Did you know the Twins are 6 wins, 3 losses in Monday games so far this season? They are 8 wins and 4 losses on Tuesdays. 7 wins and 6 losses on Sundays. If they could just eliminate Wed-Sat they'd be 21-13 and leading the division in wining percentage. I'll call up some SABR buddies and see if one of them would like to look into this.

    Is that impromptu spelling of the man's name?

    What CAN'T Ryan Kreidler do on a baseball diamond?

    I took a class from a teacher we called Ether Lips. He was a fine gentleman, but man were his lectures dry.

    Disagree. The problem has been exponential for some time.

    No doubt a prelude to a trade for Justin Lawrence.

    I would not like for my life to depend on those two in any way.

    Terry Ryan was thought to be conservative and yet he rolled the dice as GM more often than people remember. We're likely going to view the end of Falvey's tenure in a similar way, where the "sure thing" college bats he collected that never really emerged as stars were replace in the draft by a real roll of the dice in Quentin Young.

    Reminds me of the dark days 2012-2013. Call it the Doumit-Willingham era, where every player who was acquired seemed to come with the caveat, "and if nothing else, he can DH," forgetting that they had a stud catcher who needed days at DH because his bat was too good to sit on his days off.

    Stats at his age mean nothing and yet I notice that his fielding percentage at 3B is comically low at .786 (he bollixes up one fourth of the balls that come his way?), paradoxically making his .908 at SS seem almost acceptable by comparison. 😉 Right now I'm thinking 1B if he continues to show poor results at any of the more skilled positions - DH if the bat really blossoms but we're a long way from thinking that will happen. Conversely, if he does improve his coordination, right field seems like as good a place for him as left, unless there is a lefty-throwing outfielder who needs the spot, because he profiles to be slow afoot but have a strong arm. Who wouldn't love another Matt Wallner out there?

    PA 332, R 40, RBI 30 PA 302, R 38, RBI 24 I dunno, they're on a similar pace. 😉

    Yep. All you have to do is put $429M worth of payroll on the playing field and the fans will come flocking!

    The Twins after this series.

    This subject came up a day or two ago and it prompted me to revisit the 2021 draft where the Angels did exactly what you suggested. It's still early perhaps, but so far the "haul" is two serviceable 26-year old relievers. If the Twins try this I hope they execute better.

    The long-speculated Pohlad Burner Account!

    Chaotic neutral, I would venture.
  23. ashbury
    I checked out midway through the sorry game, as well.
  24. ashbury
    I went back and re-read my post, and that wasn't the implication. Plus, it was a joke. Neither player is notably good on defense.

    It's the opportunity cost that kills you.
