    Monitor benches Buxton on a 4 game hitting streak with 2 hits and a triple in his last game. WTF? That ought to ...... what.... I don't get it. That makes about as much since as when he brought Taylor Rodgers in to face 4 righties.

    Great! The Jepsen DFA is at least a month late, but at least the keen eye of the GM finally figured it out and didn't give him a 3 year extension in the off season when he already had another year left (maybe finally learning?). Another bit of fools gold. Keep the youth movement coming! Hope hope. Is Mauer next? At least move him down in the order..... please.

    Great write up. Desmond. I am surprised at his performance this year. I wouldn't have guessed it. It takes some luck to assemble a winning team. Unfortunately, it is so very clear to me that Ryan hasn't had any for years. I can't believe that he hasn't gracefully retired years ago. I think he is luck blind. Consistent bad luck is the wrong kind of talent to have. Park is not young. But Ryan says he is a great guy, a nice guy. Where do nice guys finish? Naaa. Must just be a cowinky dinky.

    May is just another AAAA pitcher. He may have some good months ala Scott Diamond, but nothing special no matter whether he starts, or whether he is in the pen. Just another Twins pitcher that takes up space for far too long and paralyzes fans with false hope. Japan is calling.

    Sano showing his outfield prowess. Hey, an out is an out.

    Better to burn out than fade away. He might have gotten into the HOF if he was forced to retire with concussions as one of the greatest catchers to play the game, regardless of the short career. Now, with such mediocrity since he stopped catching, there is no way.

    Personally, I love baseball and like to go early and stay late, and love it when the game goes into extra innings. I feel robbed if the game is over in 2 hours.

    Pitch count is sooooo overrated. Amazing baseball survived with a 4 man rotation. Teach someone that they can only throw 100 pitches, and they will think it is true. Pitch count is soooo overrated.

    I have been convinced to let myself give Arcia's replacement a redefining moment(s). No jokin. It sure was a jaw dropper, though. May the Kepleration of right field continue and prosper.

    Not gospel. Heavens no! Just a part of the picture. Just one of the many parts of the picture. I always feel free to correct the pathetic scorers in my memory too. That helps.
  11. h2oface
    Really. OK. Well, it wasn't officially ruled an error, but according to Kepler, it was, and he is not proud or happy about his performance, and he is certainly taking it into account. So could a player have 40 errors and still be considered a good defender? (Is there an arbitrary number in this evaluation system that errors do matter?) I have tried not to see this particular play, but it just keeps being real, and it did happen. I will work on the selective ignoring. It just might make me a happier fan.
  12. h2oface
    ... and Kepler's adventure on that easy pop fly he over ran in right field against the Yankees didn't even get him a 2 base error! The fielding stats could/should be even worse without the official scoring mystery.

    Amazing how cheap a team (not just the Twins) can be. College Seniors may as well be free agents and go get the job on a team of their choice.

    Didn't I see an article like this for Escobar? Did it get cold feet?

    It sucks to be injured. I wish Perkins well and a compassionate recovery. I have found through life's experiences that those that feel the need to be so publicly "sincere" are most often truly not. It seems a very contrived statement to me, especially the part about working so hard to get back. That would actually require Perkins to put in the work to be in shape - something he has failed to do in the last 4 years when he has been 'healthy'. It seemed like a stab at Mauer when he talks about not wanting to be that guy. I find the statement ..... mostly unnecessary, and hope that he got the foot out of his mouth without to much trouble.
  16. h2oface
    Trade him now before his value drops! Elizabethton to the bigs? See you in 6 years if at all. Good luck.
  17. h2oface
    It is hard to get that picture of Kepler looking back at the simple fly ball he had just run past this last series. It will take some time for me to be able to look at him as a plus defensive player now.
  18. h2oface
    Terry Ryan gets no love from me for finally fixing something he caused. It just further proves his time has been up for years. A classy man would have gracefully retired years ago. Of course Sano never should be in right field. Never ever.
  19. h2oface
    I don't fault him for filing then either, but I felt he was a whiner in that instance. Just because a clause is in a contract to let a union defend one for it, or a loophole exists to exploit..... using it can be the definition of classless. Unions historically have been classless and crooks about as much as helpful and beneficial. Hey...... Anyone who wears a neck beard isn't classy .... period. Case closed.

    The thing that bothers me the most about Dozier is that he has never learned to keep his glove one the runner when tagging them With replay, there is never a need to show the umpire your glove with the ball in it. He constantly misses an out as the runner slides off the base because he has to show the umpire his glove. Just stupid.
  21. h2oface
    Truth: Perkins was quite a whiner for a couple of years as he was sent down to triple A.....even had a complaint going through the union.... so not a class act the whole time, and being consistently out of shape isn't classy either. I would have to see him running to believe it.
  22. h2oface
    Nothing against Perkins, but if he does make it back, I hope it isn't taking up space on the Twins roster. Go be a daddy ...... and SHAVE THAT NECK BEARD !!!
  23. h2oface
    Drafted the wrong brother. I hope we got the right Burdi. Seems Nick is taking the Alex Meyer approach and can't stay within his arm capabilities and keeps hurting himself, though. Other than hype, I can't say I like any of the players on this team this year. Haven't liked the FO for years Hey... it's not my fault.
  24. h2oface
    I skipped them all this year. Just couldn't make myself go and pay to watch this trash.

    Anaheim really doesn't deserve the "LA" designation.
