  1. And Molitor wonders why his 13/14man staff is always tired and awful. Leave your horse in there. He's the only guy that can get anyone out.
  2. Well, according to Dick the Twins rotation is in better shape than the Indians.
  3. Erv now sailing along. Bet he doesn't get the eighth.
  4. Smalley, what are you talking about? You are just rambling.
  5. Butera for Castillo= Castillo for Mejia. Twins lose. Scott Tyler and Travis Bowyer for Castillo= Tyler and Bowyer for Mejia. Twins win?
  6. My initial reaction is meh. My second reaction is both players will be lucky to survive the season with their new organizations. Maybe the Twins absolute travesty of a bullpen will force them to keep Chapman around.
  7. A 13 man staff not quite enough for this squad!
  8. Kintzler is no different than any of the garbage they throw out there anyway so to me it makes no difference. I know I can't differentiate Kintzler from Belisle from Tonkin from Guerrier.
  9. Torii, Cuddyer, and LaTroy evidently recommended him.
  10. Haley with a touching tribute to Matt Belisle.
  11. I once got a Dome Dog that came with an unopened but empty bag of chips. That sounds more suitable.
  12. Belisle with a touching tribute to Tonkin today.
  13. There are at least five bullpen meltdowns per week.
  14. I hope Boston plays Josh Rutledge, the sixth year rookie, today.
  15. They are dangerously close to still having the worst SP and position player in MLB.
  16. Rusinski is not Berrios and, quite frankly, that is all that matters.
  17. The concerning part is that .830 OPS would be considered a huge month, although I find it difficult to believe his OBP would only be 40 points higher than his BA if he batted .340.
  18. Just now Polanco hits a ground ball to third. Santana holds at third, Moustakas throws the ball away and the throw easily beat Polanco to first. Naturally the ruling is single, RBI, error as Polanco goes to second. Just aggravating.
  19. I have never heard a pitcher that pitched from the mid (arbitrarily) the mid-90s and earlier say they wish they had pitched less innings or less often. Even guys that had arm injuries never said that. Tom Glavine said he hurt his arm his first year of rookie ball and thought his career was over but Johnny Sain made him continue pitching and throwing even more than normal and the pain just went away. Just by logic it makes no sense that throwing less would help. If I want to get stronger I don't lift less weights or run a shorter distance. And there's absolutely no evidence that suggests pitch counts or inning restrictions help prevent injuries.
  20. Literally everything. SLG, OPS, BABIP, RC, WAR, any stat you could ever choose to evaluate a player is getting skewed one way or the other.
  21. My personal favorite is Q Fanatic. There's a store in South Mpls off Nicolett and another one in Champlin. They are closed Monday and Tuesdays so hopefully you're not in town those two days. Another good one is Bakers Ribs in Eden Prairie which is 15-20 minutes from the stadium unless you are attempting to do so in the afternoon.
  22. The thing that irritates me the most is it skews every other statistic. Pitchers aren't as bad as their numbers look and hitters aren't as good as their numbers look. The complete indifference to realistic statistics astounds me in a game that has more numbers than any other sport.
