    Does Rosario make that throw? If he doesn't, who is the first to say he should have gone to second? (I know, I know, it was a closer play.)

    "Brian's Slaughterhouse, Wholesale Meats, and Ice Cream" Has a certain ring to it.

    If you thought the puns for Gee were bad...

    Man, we never should have gotten rid of Mike Pelfrey!

    Also: Dude.
  6. 70charger
    Awesome!

    Also, I never said that he relies on walks. I said he could take a walk, and that that's a good thing. But leave that aside completely if you want. It's not central to the point. My focus is on what he can't do, which is hit the ball hard. If you can refute that, I'm listening.

    Except that Dozier only played 48 games there after being demoralized and demoted from the Twins. Between A and AA, from which he was promoted directly to the majors, his OPS was about .900. If Zack Granite ever sustains a .900 OPS, fine, we'll talk. Look, I'm all about trajectory. If he's turned a corner and this is the beginning of something big, then wonderful! But I need more than a month or two as proof, especially when his BABIP is near 60 points higher than his career mark.

    I'm going to be a Granite contrarian. (I know I'm not the only one on this board.) Pitchers in the big leagues won't let Granite get away with what he's getting away with in the majors. He would see his walk rate plummet, and the balls he hit will be hit to better defenders. I think we're seeing in Polanco what happens to a guy who can't hit the ball hard. Polanco is still very patient, he's still taking walks, he still has a really good contact skill. But it's not working. He can't hit it hard. And the thing is, he still hits it a lot harder than Granite. Jorge Polanco's major league slugging is .390 for his career. That's bad. Zack Granite's career minor league slugging number is .370. That's abysmal. And let's not forget - Zack Granite is older than Jorge Polanco. Guys, this isn't gonna work. Let's pump the brakes here. Granite is a fourth or fifth outfielder at best.

    He abides. Or so I've heard.
  12. 70charger
    That's only with the purchase of a Ryan Eades of equal or lesser value. That's how they get ya.
  13. 70charger
    Yeah, that's a bad one. Probably won't work out, but again, minor league deal. Why not, right?
  14. 70charger
    Drink.
  15. 70charger
    I mean, he isn't that good, but his ERA last year was 4.63. That's more than a rounding error better than the Twins' team ERA. On a minor league deal, I guess I'll take it.

    The Twins pitchers are just insisting on making every inning interesting, aren't they? I, for one, would be happy with a one-two-three inning. Just saying.
  17. 70charger
    Potato, potahto. (But really, who the hell says potahto?)
  18. 70charger
    Holy ****, it's still the seventh inning? How?
  19. 70charger
    Oh. Hrm. Hope they didn't have to use a roster spot, though.
  20. 70charger
    They did? Who?
  21. 70charger
    And now there's apparently an "x" in his name.
  22. 70charger
    Escobar has looked fairly slow out there today.
  23. 70charger
    Oof. More Sano home runs!
  24. 70charger
    Or Busenitz, which, according to Bert, is "Buzhenick." Or something.
  25. 70charger
    And then there's Bert who can't pronounce names. Period. Forget about Spanish, he couldn't even get Chase de Jong's name right, and the guy's Dutch.
