  1. The phrase "Why not put Nolasco out there" should only be used when the Twins are trailing by 5+ runs.
  2. Depends on how long the delay is, Santana is a veteran pitcher and he only pitched two innings. If it's 60 minutes or so they can maybe bring him back out.
  3. I'm not going to the Monday game, I am going to the Wed Night Game and Thursday Day game. This play one game, one day off crap is annoying, plus you get a much bigger bang for your buck waiting for "game 2"
  4. A little rain never hurt anyone. You act like it's hailing softballs out there....
  5. I was actually planning on going to this series down in Baltimore, but saw the weather forecast, so I booked a trip to Minnie for the home opening series instead. (hopefully it's decent weather in Minnie)
  6. We need a 2 hour rain delay that knocks Tillman out of the game.
  7. Nolasco is at least taking this delay to work on some cardio.
  8. Donorcycle's should be charged more.
  9. It's actually amazing and one of my favorite areas on this coast, I get out to that area a few times a year for work, it's amazing during the (warmer) spring and fall months.
  10. Amateur... I have about 10 bottles of whiskey(s) and a case of beer in my office currently. (Home office FTW!)
  11. Fat Tire. New Belgium FINALLY has come to the northeast, so picked up some in Jersey over the weekend and "smuggled" back to NY. They start selling in NY in May which is great. Fat Tire is almost a perfect "drinking" beer that most anyone can enjoy.
  12. Have you been to Baltimore? The part of town Camden is in is really, really nice. Yeah sure, Baltimore has some terrible areas, but that's like saying Chicago is a garbage city because of the southside.
  13. Sano hitting third? I thought traditionally your best hitter hit third, not your fattest?
  14. Is this game going to happen? Rain looks to be in the forecast quite a bit. Maybe a delayed start by a few hours?
  15. As an addition: Santana is a big reason why I don't understand why the Twins kept Nunez around, to their credit they did keep Santana around as well, but we already know that Nunez absolutely can't handle SS, he likely can't handle 2B at this stage, which makes him a weird bench guy since his bat isn't that great as well. They aren't paying him a lot, but I hope the Twins have a quick leash on Nunez who essentially is a sub .700 OPS hitter who really doesn't play any position well enough on D to legitimize him being on a playoff caliber team at this stage (or at least one with the talent of the Twins in the INF) I just don't see the role Nunez fits at this stage. MI replacement for a players day off/injury: Santana is better/more upside OF replacement: Santana is better/more upside PH: Better off with a pure PH like Quentin I guess, but you also already have Arcia as your everyday PH anyways.
  16. I think Santana is the Twins "surprise" player of the year. He has too much raw talent to not work out eventually as an everyday MI or a rich man's Nick Punto style Util INF.
  17. I think Rosario ends up being an enticing trade piece when it's all said and done. He can play an above average CF and will hit quite well for that position as well. If Kepler emerges then suddenly Rosario becomes pretty expendable IMO even more so if Arcia gets back on track. Rosario could bring back a nice high upside Sp potentially as well (or a good catcher)
  18. I would personally rather get rid of Fien then Tonkin.
  19. .255/320/.390 Which I would consider a pretty good "rookie" season to be honest for how raw he is.
  20. I don't think at this point Sanos injury set him back too much, it's hard to think that his 21 year old season could have ended up too much better than it did. Buxton is an interesting one, the extra at bats certainly would have helped, but it is what it is, maybe it ends up saving the twins a year of team control ultimately on one or both? It's not like the 2014/2015 twins would have stood much of a shot in the playoffs etc with the Royals amazing playoff teams.
  21. You mean lifetime .982 ops Mark McGwire who averaged 50 HR per 162 games? I will take that.
