  1. Yeah, that aged well, I was about to say.
  2. Wow, big reversal, for the big out! Twins 1-0 after one. This has been your CBU.
  3. Good thing Judge is not a speedy runner.
  4. We have a game thread going. Let's not spread our comments out. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/35161-playoff-game-thread-twins-new-york-607-pm-cdt-1042019/
  5. After 4 pitches, the count on Garver is 2-2. This has been your Circus Boy Update.
  6. We'll try to remember plenty of Circus Boy Updates.
  7. My mama, rest her soul, would have been telling those Yankee fans that you can cheer your team but you shouldn't boo the visitors.
  8. Would've, in the sense we miss him. But not as a potential choice for this post-season - he's been on the 60-day DL for a while now (though not 60 days ) and will not play until next season.
  9. What you say can apply to any of the relievers, but I have to concur. Trevor needs to turn off the brain, and let Lurch come out. Get the signal from the catcher, rear back and hit the mitt, and let his stuff do its job en route. A little stomping around the mound between pitches is a plus, as long as he's not stalling.
  10. I'm glad this got sorted out. But let's please leave the personal edge off of the sarcasm. Other readers may misunderstand.

  12. Twinkies For Dinner was on the menu frequently back in my bachelor days!
  13. Agreed, but it's in some ways even simpler than that. During the long season the manager and pitching coach make compromises between winning an individual game versus conserving the arms. This is the time of year they've been saving for. We want the maximum number of effective innings, and Odorizzi and Berrios represent our best chances for getting them. If it doesn't work, then the braintrust goes to Plan B, but the easiest path to a title involves these two guys pulling a heavy load. If they are making their pitches, then leave them in, even if the results don't match up. At least, for longer than for anyone else on the staff.
  14. I was counting on none of Gibson, Adrianza, and Kepler, due to health. Gibson bounces Perez, Adrianza in for Astudillo, and Kepler replaces Wade, going by the handicapping I had done a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps Perez expressed less willingness to pitch from the bullpen than Gibson did. These are things we can't know, that go into the final roster spot decisions.
  15. We all know the Yankees are insane.
  16. "Area man poses as RandBalls Stu, finds out satire is more difficult than it looks."

  18. Howie Kendrick is having a pretty terrible Game 1 at first base for the Nats - at least through the first four innings there were 2 makeable plays that... were not made.
  19. Moderator's note: This topic, and the replies that have followed, are well-traveled ground that experience has shown leads to nowhere productive. Please end the tangent.
  20. Dark days. The team's marketing slogan for 2012: "Just Roll With It"
