    Circus Boy must be deliriously happy with all the updates!

    Narrative. Ruined.

    Isn't that the point, though? He's finished four innings. How many times through the order would you prefer him to be at this point? I'd like him to go through the lineup as infrequently as possible.

    They'll bring in Greinke to quell this rally, I'm sure.
  6. ashbury
    Nicely called.

    Now we're talkin'! Crescent Rollie Fingers. Yum!

    Touché Toussaint is a completely different player. Please don't confuse matters.
  9. ashbury
    Of course. But we're not looking for one reason that covers all. And weather is a completely plausible reason for some, including MN.

    José Cruz retired over a decade ago. You must be thinking of someone else.

    Just a thought, but if a guy born and raised in Florida signs with Los Angeles the first time he has control over his own destiny, then signs with Phoenix the next time he has control over his own destiny, then accepts a trade to Houston but says he would not have accepted a trade to Minnesota or Boston or New York, one working theory is that he doesn't enjoy cold Aprils or Octobers. He can't control road games, but it might not be complicated!

    So many cat photos. So. Very. Many. Cat. Pho-.... *clunk*

    Depends on your taste for control pitching versus power arms, I would think.

    Concur. On paper, their big trade addresses weakness, by dealing away from strength. But I think intangibles are going to play a bigger role than usual for them. The guy they discarded was polarizing, and they replaced him with someone differently polarizing. I don't believe this balances out, and instead could be somewhat additive. I don't know anything about Dyson's public personality, but judging by Romo's early interactions, along with previous roster additions, it seems the Twins FO places a significant premium on chemistry and fit. As someone more from the analytic side of the spectrum... I think they may actually be onto something with that.

    Oh, THAT Marcos Diplan.

    Anybody get the joke? Pssst is the nickname that Sam chose for his jersey, that time everybody was encouraged to do it. I don't know the story behind it.
  18. ashbury
    Is this one of those joke gloves found in novelty shops, or is he allowed to use one this large in a game?

    Davis is EXACTLY the kind of trade chip I hoped they would use. Not because he's a bad player, but he is duplicated too much by others in the system. I never like being the one to part with two young pitchers, but those are the coin of the realm. If they're the difference between making this trade, and not, then I think I'm fine with it. I leave it to the talent evaluators to determine which future Cy Young not to trade.

    Sam Dyson's understudy.

    I was premature with my "Welp" shrug of resignation, it turns out. Pssst. We got Sam Dyson from SF.
  22. ashbury
    Welp.
  23. ashbury
    Details may not yet be complete, but there's a Brewers-Giants trade and perhaps the numbers were such that Milwaukee needed to make room and had already made Diplan available for cash. Also, he's having a terrible year.
  24. ashbury
    Welp.
  25. ashbury
    That's a direct quote lifted from the movie, right?
