  1. A's have been on a bit of a skid .... needed to change something up. Wonder when Oakland will run out of relief pitchers to trade???
  2. That French Toast Marney is eating looks disgusting.
  3. So someone who is just a casual baseball fan says to me: "You know, I saw Worley pitching for Pittsburgh yesterday -- he didn't even look like the same player as he did with the Twins. What happens that they go elsewhere and get all this confidence?"
  4. Cole Slaw, please. I hate bean salad and I hate kraut. I have come to the conclusion that I basically hate strong tastes. One whiff of blue cheese will have me running to the porcelain throne.
  5. Suzuki isn't going to make it through 2 more years. 3 more?
  6. Jim Mandelaro @jmand1 · 30m .@Meyer17A is still in the @RocRedWings dugout and does not appear to be in pain. Maybe shoulder tightness? Just speculatiing. #MNTwins
  7. Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 4m RHP Alex Meyer wasn't even hitting 90 mph on the Rochester stadium radar gun, according to those on-site. #MNTwins Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 1m I'm told Alex Meyer's velocity was down in his last start, too, though nothing as alarming as what happened tonight. Typically 95-99
  8. A bad look in left field for the O's -- and it wasn't Delmon.
  9. Someone mentioned marketing in the "What's wrong with baseball thread?" Today I saw some of the worst marketing ever -- I was watching the Hawkeyes eke out their win on the Big Ten Network. At least twice I saw an All-State commercial that said something about you may not always be a Razorback or a (can't remember the second one) or a Tiger (LSU) but you will always (something positive about All-State). The 2nd team was also SEC , I think. WHY in the world would All-State show a SEC-focused commercial on BTN? They have to have a bigger ad budget than that. I couldn't believe it.
  10. Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger · 11m Twins will call up LHP Aaron Thompson to take Deduno's roster spot Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino · 9m Thompson is former #Marlins f1st rounder who has good left on left splits this year for @RocRedWings. This gives #mntwins 4 LH relievers Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger · 6m Twins went with Thompson because they wanted a lefty reliever who gets lefties out. More relievers will be recalled once rosters expand.
  11. Rhett Bollinger ‏@RhettBollinger · 46s RHP Samuel Deduno claimed on waivers by the Astros, according to an MLB source.
  12. I don't think his motive was self-serving in that way. I think he did it out of unending loyalty to the myriad other guys on the management team -- many of whom he had worked with for more than 20 years. Both field staff and front office. And that never-ending loyalty is one of my big problems with this team. Loyalty can be a very good thing -- it can keep yo from making rash and hasty moves. But too much loyalty is a bad thing - - it can prevent innovation, change and advancement.
  13. Well, that was fun ..... not. I do like these east coast times, though.
  14. Okay, I've never double posted on the new site. Something to celebrate.
  15. The only consolation is that it took it to 8-0 instead of 6-0. It's not really looking like the Twins could have scored 7.

  17. 10,000? Trevor Plouffe. Fitting that it would be a solo.
  18. I was wondering if anyone had tried them. I don't like coffee so I don't think I'd ever like them but I really wondered what others thought.
  19. Apparently a big part of his problem is that he thinks too much. Pitches inside his head. Wonder if that game turns out better?
  20. Just think of all the anticipation we wasted earlier in the season.
