    A tip for the Twins front office: Draft Beer!

    I'd click Like for the pun if I knew what RO was. FIve seconds of googling didn't help me.

    Okay, you buy the premise, but you take issue with a bit of hyperbole I offered (and "possible", not "probable", at that) in order to make the point. If perhaps a team in desperate need would take Lynn off our hands without our even needing to cover part of the salary, that is still a far cry from him being a significant trading chip to acquire someone that fills a need of our own.

    29 other teams had a chance to sign him. The Twins made the best offer. He's off to a mediocre start. No one gives up much to get some of that. It's possible no one takes him on even if he were waived, at least until pennant races get clarified a little.

    But, decline the option, and then re-sign him on amicable terms for a lower amount? I'd still see the Twins as a likely landing spot for him as a free agent.

    To my simple understanding, the key for the changeup is to have the delivery be indistinguishable from the fastball, and second is maintaining command, so if there's any risk of him tipping the pitch or losing location in the process of trying to make it be "better", I'd say leave it alone.

    OrLAAANdo... CePEDa! FerNAAANdo... RoMERo! Sounds like a star in the making, to me.

    Torii: Red milk. Dick: I don't get what you're saying. (Ash: me either) Torii: Red wine. Dick: Oh.

    I ran the replay several times and still didn't spot legs. He just kind of rolled down the basepath, like a fireplug probably would.

    A piano-movers truck driver. With the piano still on his back.

    Ever seen the Escobar Name Game? Looks like turnabout's fair play.

    The shift taketh away, the shift giveth.

    Which works out to something under 3 cents for every man, woman and child in the country. Three cents here, and three cents there, for this program and that, and pretty soon you're talking about a whole dollar. All in all, there are other reasons to debate this military policy than monetary.

    A trifle redundant, eh?
  15. ashbury
    Cheaper than food, though.
  16. ashbury
    That's what you said last time. 75!
  17. ashbury
    Darn spell check. That's what I thought I typed.

    We'll be playing without the DH today, right? I hope Gant reaches base, just once, so that HrbieMauer can power-lift him for an easy out.

    Do some research on Little Johnny, and then get back to us.

    I'm trying to put this tactfully, but Don Gorske did not wind up looking the way I expected.

    You mean the "hesitate all over the place" play? https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/05/06/2014838983/1525639517949/asset_1800K.mp4

    That's fair. All the wins count. It's just... for me... this team has playoff aspirations. When they get to the post-season, the opponents won't hand them gifts like the White Sox just got done doing. If they are fortunate enough to get there, doing it this way will likely mean a one-and-done. I'll feel better when they clobber the bottom feeders, and reserve the squeaker wins for against the good teams. Even better will be when the good teams are happy to get the squeaker win.

    What is it about this individual that says, "have him repeat AA"?
  24. ashbury
    That's a much more nuanced analysis than what I previously took to be "third time through is coming, take him out".
  25. ashbury
    I may have miscounted, but Ben Rortvedt broke an 0-13 streak today. Hopefully the slump in general is broken too.
