  1. Can I be honest here real quick? I watched that whole game. I was setting up this comment for like an hour. It's the long - and very speculative - con. But I can't lie to you, TD!
  2. It's probably my fault. Sorry guys.
  3. I can't watch many of these games live anymore, and I seem to remember that I haven't seen any wins live recently. Is this my fault? I need an answer quickly. It's the eighth inning.
  4. Well done ...sing. Sorry I had to.
  5. You won't find that line in Bosnia/Hercegovina. Well actually, you might find it there. It might be hiding wherever the waiter is.
  6. And apparently no one else is.
  7. Chris Davis is apparently helpless against Mike Pelfrey. The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
  8. I kind of prefer the manic American type of waiter to the "service" you get in the Balkans. Pieces of flair aside, at least you might get your food on the same day you order it.
  9. I'll take a 1-2-3 inning from Pelfrey.
  10. I'm starting to think Pelfrey might need more than 2 runs of support.
  11. Hey, he looked pretty good there!
  12. Not a huge fan of that glove flip by Dozier. Seems like he had enough time to throw the ball. Too much could go wrong.
  13. Not good to have guys on base for Chris Davis...
  14. So I, for one, am looking forward to many, many more "Joe Mauer sets the table and Miguel Sano knocks 'em in" moments over the next few years. Great, great way to begin this game.
  15. I kind of agree with this. I also wish that baseball did the one-day-contract thing the NFL does so he could retire a Twin. I always really enjoyed Morneau.
  16. I don't get that many things right, so I'm going to gloat a bit. I wanted Escobar to stay at short, and Santana to stay at CF and push out Schafer. At this point, Santana/Schafer would have been a wash, but Escobar certainly would have been better than Santana at short. When it looked like the Twins were absolutely set on Santana starting the season at short, I didn't complain too much - might as well try the young guys, right? - but when people still maintain Escobar is nothing but a utility guy, I have to take exception. Every year he's been given the chance, he's been an average or so shortstop, and has outperformed much more highly touted and highly paid players. None of the post hoc rationalizations as to why Escobar actually isn't a major league capable shortstop ever held water with me. After a few years of proof, isn't what he's actually shown himself capable of equal to what we can conclude he's capable of?
  17. I don't really see what made people think that Santana could continue at the level he was on. Nothing in his minor league career gave that impression. It was fun while it lasted, and I was all for keeping him in center field while our other options were guys like Schafer, but major regression was absolutely expected. His 2014 stats were nothing if not an extreme outlier. Rosario's 2015 stats, on the other hand, are much more in line with his minor league stats. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see some regression from him next year, but I would be no more surprised to see a luck-driven surge. The fact is, I don't see Rosario playing way over his head like Santana clearly was.
  18. And I think this is his second option year of four.
