    I think this is all sorta horse**** and just lazy excuse for some players just being *******s in general. Human history has shown us that people will look for any reason in the world to fight with one another. Baseball has had these stupid "unwritten rules" or "beanball games" going on for years. To try to turn it into some bizzarre "culture clash" issue, is again. Just lazy.

    I know this was meant to be a positive thread, but good lord, those facts are actually quite depressing :-/ Let's hope that Duffey and Berrios give us two more to add to the list within the next two years? (Berrios won't hit 200 IP for the Twins next year) I believe Nick Blackburn came the closest overall (Again, not exactly inspiring) when he tossed 205.2 innings with a 4.03 ERA and a 11-11 record.

    Depends on how much Texas "Parties" tonight, or if they wait to clinch the division to party. If it's tonight? Pretty much give a win to the Angels for tomorrow. If they clinch tomorrow or Saturday? It's 50/50 both days. (though the Angels likely win the day after)

    I was 6 years old in 91, my Dad took me to game 7 (we drove up from Nebraska, halfway up to see game 6 at a famiies friends house and the rest of the way the next day) My mom and he decided that I should go instead of her, and damn if it wasn't the most amazing night ever! I remember the game so,so,so well for being so young, especially the part where I needed to take a "pee" in the 8th inning and had to wait until the game was over, in case we miss the big play. Gene Larkin hits the game winning hit, we celebrate for 2 minutes, run to the bathroom, come back and celebrate for another 30 minutes. Felll asleep in the back of the car driving out of Minneapolis/downtown during the celebration. I will never forget it, I can't even imagine how freaking awesome it would be now that I am an adult and can fully comprehend the situation. Especially since I have pledged to buy my dad and younger brother (who wasn't even born in 91) world series tickets when (not if) the Twins make it again.

    Duffey is a freaking stud. Great win by the Twins tonight (with a comeback none the less) I could be wrong, but he would be scheduled to face NYY in the WC game if we are lucky to make it that far, perhaps he is the one who can reverse the playoff curse? Now onto KC, just win 3 and hope Houston loses at least one

    I don't see it getting personal that much in this thread. Lev and Pseudo have been going back and forth for more than a decade now, and respect each other immensely. It's a good debate.
  8. DaveW
    Um...no. I really hope you are joking because that isn't the case at all.
  9. DaveW
    Anything that gets Sano to the 3rd spot is fine by me. Hicks has cooled off quite a bit as well.
  10. DaveW
    Ha yeah, I mean obviously the effects are far reaching. But my point was the end product/end consumer can only PHYSICALLY harm themselves.
  11. DaveW
    The actual "usage" of the drug effects the user. Smoking weed, shooting up heroin, doing coke etc doesn't kill innocent bystanders around you. Guns do. Obviously drugs "effect" others, through crime etc, but the end user can't take a joint and kill a dozen people with it.
  12. DaveW
    That is an apples and bullets comparison. Drugs get consumed, once they are consumed they are gone. Drugs also only effect the drug user, illegal guns stick around, and they can inflict harm on DOZENS of innocent victims each. We spend trillions on the war on terror, its time to spend a little bit of cash on domestic terroism prevention. Will it fix everything? No, but holy **** man! These mass shootings are a weekly occurance at this point, you have to TRY something. To start, I would make a mandatory 2 week waiting period, I would make a mandatory national gun registry, and I would make a mandatory signicicant background check (in those two weeks). (Tax the guns, which pays for all of that)
  13. DaveW
    Then go aggressively after the black market and punish the ever living hell out of people that participate (5 years minimium, no early parole)

    FYI, you shouldn't post the full barcode, a scammer can use that image and "digitially" copy it and sell it via stub hub or another third party.

    They could have easily kept May in the rotation, and acquired another arm to pitch the 7th. (Benoit!!!) Then if Pelf develops into a late inning guy...great! If not, he is the mop up guy and spot starter.
  16. DaveW
    The thing is, in all of those pitches to Rizzo the pitcher wasn't AIMING to hit him. When you are aiming at a guy, it likely is going to be a fastball and it likely will be "high"
  17. DaveW
    The two guys who lost their **** last night the most were Molitor and Suzuki. The manager and the catcher, the two guys that literally tell the pitcher what to throw. While I think it's unlikely, I don't think its impossible. Especially if the Twins take an early 3-0 lead, I wouldn't put it past them having Duffey throwing at him (I really, really, really hope I am wrong) Molitor has proven to be "old school" already as a manager.
  18. DaveW
    When he comes to bat, have Danny Santana run off the bench and depants him right before the first pitch. Boom. Problem solved. Even better, Santana does something to contribute this year!
  19. DaveW
    Heat lamp? No, but you can now use a 3D printer to make guns and assault weapons, but again that takes a lot of effort and "skill" and money. They HAVE to make guns harder to obtain, at the very least.
  20. DaveW
    Agreed. It has worked in NYC very well. Owning a gun legally isn't impossible, but it requires a lot of time, lot of paper work and a decent amount of money (plus you have to prove you have a legit reason for owning one) if you get caught with an illegal gun in NYC? 2-3 years in jail, no plea, no nothing. You get caught, you goto jail. It isn't just a conicidence that shootings/murders have gone down like 300% since these came into effect.

    JUST WIN U S T W I N

    The shooter apparently posted on 4chan, which of course means that the 'conversation' surrounding this shooting won't be mental health, gun control or how to fix these things, it will be all about internet censorship. Mark my words.
  23. DaveW
    The Twins should just have whoever hits the first home run for them pimp the living hell out of it. Then the teams are even. 100 bonus points if it's Hunter and he somersaults/dances around the bases, THAT would be classic. I sorta get the whole "you hit my guy, now I will hit your guy" stuff that goes on (I don't agree with it at all) but at least in those cases a team responding with "violence" is responding to an original "violent act" (I don't have an issue with Hockey fights) But to use violence to "Fix" a guy pimping a home run? Just ridiculous, it's not like Ramirez threw his bat at the bench or punched someone while running the bases.
  24. DaveW
    The worst part about this is, it doesn't even surprise me anymore. This **** is just so common place these days, clearly nothing will ever change re: gun laws that actually prevent this, people are just too far dug into their stupid NRA stances (Duurrrrr 2nd amendment Durrr) that nothing significant will change. The only thing we can do now is to refuse to give the killer any sort of meanigful press/notieriety. That is the only way to at least help curb these lone crazy murder suicide guys. STOP GIVING THEM PRESS.

    10 bunts per game!
