Well this is turning ****ty.
-
I don't like this whole White-Sux-clawing-back thing.
-
So we don't like Rosario anymore, then?
-
Okay, round 2.
-
Guys, I think Sano just blew me a kiss.
-
I hadn't heard, probably because there isn't any point to DLing him so you can bring somebody else up. I hope he gets better quickly, that makes my hangover sound like a walk in the park.
-
Well that's annoying to have the bases full and come up empty. Seems like I've seen that too often.
-
Dozier went the other way! Also weird.
-
Wait, what just happened? That was weird.

Ryan: Berrios will NOT be called up in September
70charger replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Could be disappointed. Could be convinced otherwise. See you in May, JO. -
Now hang on. His OBP has gone up every year at every level. And although his SLG went down at a notorious pitchers' league, it's been pretty (league-corrected) consistent every year at every level. Now, I'm a skeptic. I think the jump to MLB will be bigger and more formidable than every jump he's ever made. But there is absolutely, 100%, something to be said for maintaining the same power-heavy and OBP-okay pace he's maintained year-in-and-year-out. Every single level has been the level he shouldn't be performing at. And yet, here he is. If somebody was "stagnant," they'd be doing super well at A-, okay at A+, and pretty bad at AA. What Walker has been doing is super well at A-, super well at A+, and super well at AA. You can disagree that it will continue (and I myself don't necessarily agree that it will), but stagnant!? Only if you believe that Cedar Rapids is the same thing as Chattanooga. And I don't. Much as I dislike the "fan club," Walker hasn't done a single thing to discourage the club from moving him up every single year. This is the next step in his development, and I can't see why he doesn't deserve it.

1. Looks like a pretty good AFL roster. Glad to see some of the power relievers get some more time. And Rogers, though he looked better early on, has got some serious talent and should get the work and experience in. 2. Congrats ABW on a 30/30 season. There is no rhyme or reason to what he does or how, but at every successive level, it keeps happening. Do it again next year at AAA. Then let's see if a miracle happens in MLB.

Any news on Wilkerson? Is he okay?

Bold assumption, sir.

I dunno, rather than bitch about who didn't get called up in an unofficial posting, especially those who may end up getting called up anyway, I think I'd rather focus on those who did. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Vargas in this group. His hitting is intriguing, the power is real, and I'd like to see him build on his learning in the minors this year and come back strong in spring training.

So... Shane Robinson starts Game 163?
-
Wow, when you lay it out like that, how are we in playoff contention?
-
TL;DR?

Why do announcers use antiquated stats?

This. The parameters of the conversation change and the conversation changes.
