    It's very encouraging that all the minor-league teams are winning when so many of the good prospects have been called up this year.
  2. Unwinder
    Based on previous conversations on here about extending Buck, I find it hard to believe that this is even a good-faith offer rather than a formality to appease fans into thinking they tried.
  3. Unwinder
    Good point, I was comparing him in my head vs Gordon as utilityman (and Gordon doesn't feel like a sure thing), and not considering him vs Miranda (the prospect I am most excited about) for third base.

    I don't know why we'd want to trade Arraez, a young guy who factors into any rebuild plan that doesn't require completely starting from scratch (we want to contend in 2023, right?). Unless Toronto is drowning in expendable pitching talent, which does not appear to be the case.

    I feel the same way, I've enjoyed more baseball this year than any year before. For me especially, having the Saints as AAA affiliate has made the Twin Cities a really special place to be a baseball fan.

    I feel like I'm watching a teaser trailer for a new Star Wars movie. Getting psyched about triple-digit fastballs the same way I get excited about John Williams music and five seconds of Millennium Falcon footage, but ultimately I have no more idea whether it will amount to anything good or not than I did yesterday morning.
  7. Unwinder
    I'll take it.
  8. Unwinder
    This has become a really nice game.
  9. Unwinder
    simmons yes

    Arraez is so dramatic. Fun to watch him whether he does well or not.
  11. Unwinder
    He's doing a good job of looking serious and determined at least.
  12. Unwinder
    I guess he doesn't like my ideas. Oh well.
  13. Unwinder
    Would be really good to see Nellie crush one too. Just an idea.

    POLANCO, BABY

    Always good to see Simmons do something usefull offensively.
  16. Unwinder
    I never noticed it before, but Jeffers looks kind of like Tom Hardy from the side.
  17. Unwinder
    Love to see Cruz steal bases.
  18. Unwinder
    I'm definitely excited to follow Miranda's career. I was fortunate enough to be at CHS field for his AAA debut, and I can honestly say that it was the most electric night of baseball I've ever experienced. Went home with a big goofy grin on my face. I went from dreading the trade deadline, when we're sure to lose some of my favorite veterans, to anxious for the old-timers to get out and make way.

    The Grand "Re-Tool" Experiment

    Unwinder commented on Tim's blog entry in Tim

    This very thorough look at the retool scenario certainly dampens my enthusiasm for it.
  20. Unwinder
    I really dislike watching Derek Law pitch because of his habit of frantically adjusting his pants between pitches. I pointed it out to my wife at a Saints game and we couldn't stop laughing. Now of course I can't help wondering if he was trying to disguise that he was going for something under his belt.
  21. Unwinder
    I have no problem whatsoever with his outspokenness on sticky substances (and I think his "it's not sticky anymore!" comment was, at worst, mildly obnoxious). But he doesn't seem like the kind of guy I'd really enjoy having a beer with.
  22. Unwinder
    Every time I see this discussion it's "Buxton is a generational talent with the potential to be one of Baseball's true greats," and "Berrios is a pretty solid number two pitcher," so if it's possible to keep one of these guys, I guess I'm on team Buxton, injuries and all.
  23. Unwinder
    I think the tell is usually that you can see a point where a pitcher's spin rate makes a sudden increase, we could much more easily tell who's using if we stacked up their spin rates over the last few years and looked for a dramatic bump. Also anyone whose current spin rate would have been considered excellent a few years ago is worth investigating. I think that as a team built around hitting, the Twins are suffering more from sticky stuff than they may potentially be benefiting from it, but it can't possibly be responsible for all of their woes. It certainly gives me more sympathy for strikeout-prone players like Sano,
  24. Unwinder
    This guy doesn't care about ERA, to him, WAR is god.
  25. Unwinder
    I've made peace with Sano being a streaky hitter. I enjoy watching him play when he's on a hot streak and have learned to sweat it out when he's cold. That's been a part of the Twins experience since I've been following, I'd be disappointed to see him traded away, even if that may be the best thing for the team.
