    Not if he rides the pine with the Twins again.
  2. jokin
    Of course...

    Good catch. Slice that stat up from either end of the comp and you get a misleading handful of nothing for the bWAR stat. (What does Dozier have to [not?] do to become a below replacement value level player?)

    In a season utterly bereft of pleasant surprises, this was indeed a much-needed tonic. Romero sure surreptitiously re-appeared on the Twins landscape without any ballyhoo. Perhaps the expectations were on the extreme low side? As Bob Sacramento queried, I echo his request: Can someone seize that radar gun from last night?

    Yup, "special" sums it up quite nicely. You know you're reaching new-found depths of fan-angst when the descriptions of game-after-game futility just flow off of the tongue- seemingly defy reality and yet reek of credulity. The 2016 Twins and the suffering fans seem destined to join the '62 Mets... at least in this quote from Casey Stengel: “Never has so much misery loved so much company”

    I swear, I am going to enter primal scream therapy if TD decides to have yet another "positive comments only" Game Thread.

    I swear, I may as well enter primal scream therapy if I have to endure the hava nagila dance song just once more...

    There might be an opening for an interim manager soon?

    So he's full-on delusional, then? "We can fix this thing... We gotta get pointed in the right direction. I haven't....." Wasn't the last transmission from the Captain on the Titanic?

    In that case, it sure seems like a no-brainer to add that to our versatile Target Field organist's ever-so-snooze-inducing playlist.

    I know, I know, I was just making sure our offer was in and agreed to before Theo was hired by the Cubs.

    Has anyone ever counted how many times Sgt. Elias was shot in Platoon, and kind of ironic isn't it...? Willem Dafoe showed more life than the Twins, even after the 20th NVA AK-47 gunshot wound.

    Sorry, but said trajectory would require Mike Ilitch to trade franchises with the Pohlads.
  14. jokin
    Why... yes, yes I could...
  15. jokin
    I'd have loved it if Ryan and Pohlad had made Maddon an offer he couldn't refuse three years ago.

    Might as well call up Arraez and Wade while you're at it, and Cederoth, you need a closer, too. But sadly, he's looking more and more like Moe Greene as each day passes.

    Uhh, I challenge you to find a more fearless OF prospect n the current era (and he has the highlight reel to prove that no obstacle, either animate or inanimate, has stopped him from attempting to make near-impossible plays in CF). Having said that, players are unique in pain tolerance and the rate at which they heal and recover from debilitating injuries. We honestly don't have the information in this case to make a definitive judgement on Buxton's recovery abilities, but we do about the intrepid nature of his ability to cover Center Field.

    Could you lay out a case that would convince Molly, please?
  19. jokin
    No. The first step was NOT rehiring him after the Smith debacle. It's DEFCON ONE step at this point in time.
  20. jokin
    Wait? What? How about that parade I was promised...?
  21. jokin
    LOL Statisticians-only insider joke- now it all makes sense when you express it this way.
  22. jokin
    I dunno, there seem to be a lot of guys playing offensive baseball right about now.
  23. jokin
    Request for illustration please...
  24. jokin
    Thanks. That's unfortunate for sure.

    "What kind of training....???"
