  1. 0-3 for Ozzie today, 2 K's.
  2. I missed the game, but saw the replays. DER KID! What a coming out party for Max! I absolutely love watching Sano's blast. Right off the blast you get the "Oh My' from Dick. http://m.mlb.com/video/v883914283/texmin-sano-reaches-second-deck-with-homer-no-12/?game_pk=448086
  3. Texas is one of the most hitter friendly park in the league and through no surprise, let's look at his splits. Home: .378/.412/.603 BABIP: .451 Away: .269/.343/.469 BABIP: .333 He is having a great year and great gamble for the Rangers, but his batting average is very BABIP fueled and he is hitting MUCH BETTER at home. Losing a pick on and paying a 30 year old SS $8M coming off the worst season of his career at a position where they had Escobar seems like exactly the opposite of what the Twins should have done this past offseason. I also remember some clamoring for the Twins to sign Starlin Castro, how would that have turned out?
  4. Meh. If Rogers or Kintzler would have given it up someone would have put "why they send him out there for an another inning when you have an 8 man pen?" or tomorrow when Rogers is unavailable because he threw 2 innings tonight you would hear, "Thanks Mollie, great job wasting him yesterday."
  5. Straight away center about 2 steps in from the fence on the warning track and it was very high too.
  6. A walk-off 450 footer would be a great Welcome Back! for Miguel
  7. Good god, I can't imagine how hard it is to hit that 80 MPH curveball after seeing 3 fastballs at 99 MPH.
  8. Not a fan of that slide Buxt-sie
  9. The more I see of Rogers the more I like. Real possibility of being a fixture of the pen in the future.
  10. Suzuki wanted the same pitch as strike 2, low and away.....Pressly didn't really put it there.
  11. How bout a little 6-4-3 here Pressly?
  12. Random thought. I wonder if Kepler and Boehringer have hung out.
  13. He very well could fetch a good offer, but then again there has to be a team in need. I won't say he is elite, but he has been a top 5-6 2nd baseman for 4 years now. With his contract, the team has flexibility as to when to trade him. If they aren't blown away by an offer, why deal him? There is a lot more time than just this July to find the best offer for him, just my thoughts on the matter. While it might good speculation, it is just speculation to think the team can't compete until 2019.
  14. Dozier is 29, has 2 more years at reasonable prices on his contract and for the 4th straight year is in the upper echelon at a premium position. Even with his slow start he is on pace for career highs. The market for contending teams looking for a 2B doesn't seem to be that great right now. If they get a great offer for him, sure trade him away, but trading him just to trade him would be a mistake IMO.
  15. Polanco is better than who right now? Even with Dozier's early season slump he is still 7th in WAR for all 2nd basemen since the beginning of the 2015 season. I like Polanco and would like to see what he can do, but is he not better than Brian Dozier.
  16. Because hindsight is 20/20? Who knew that would be his highest value?
  17. No, no a backup slider is a slider you left in the bag from the night before because you passed out. You wake up hungover in the morning and boom there it is in the bag still.
  18. He missed badly. Catcher had lined up him low and outside.
  19. I feel this is necessary....again.
  20. Trevor played that pretty well. Anderson can fly.
