When Bartolo is on the mound I am fully engaged in every pitch and pump my fist or yell out in celebration with every out, something I haven't done since probably late in 09. He is must see TV for me and he has made me rediscover my love for the game.
The crowning moment of my (or any) lifetime was watching a Kluber vs Bruce Chen pitcher's duel. I imagine it was no different than watching Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal one summer day in '63.
It seems to me they made this trade to try and be an 82 win team rather than an 80 win team. I'm with Darius, pretty apathetic over a deal that doesn't particularly help us this year and does nothing for us next year.
No one thought Bowyer and Tyler for Castillo was a bad trade. And Billy Bullock for Scott Diamond is still a terrible trade, considering where the Twins were at that time.
