    Larnach to the College World Series Final on Monday vs. Arkansas.
  2. Monkeypaws
    Just checked - pick your stat, but Rosario and Escobar are 7 and 8 in OPS in the AL, 930+ 5 and 6 are Judge and Machado. Rarified air.
  3. Monkeypaws
    Both our Eds deserve All Star berths. Remember when Escobar was considered a slap hitting middle infielder?

    Nice read SD. The biggest change I've noticed is $2 bleacher seats at the Met, to $7 at the Dome, to $16 at TF. Moneyball indeed.
  5. Monkeypaws
    This is true - who would have guessed that among Sano, Buxton, Kepler, and Rosario, that the latter would be the star of the bunch.
  6. Monkeypaws
    When I suggested "go get Machado," it was always as a free agent. It would be asinine for this Twins team to mortgage the farm for a rental, with what purpose: .500 record? Never gonna make it to the wild-card, and catching Cleveland is pretty long odds and getting longer.
  7. Monkeypaws
    Well, at least he's gonna get after it. Should fit right in. I do wish he'd work his tail off too though.
  8. Monkeypaws
    Can we change the name of the thread to "Go get Machado"?
  9. Monkeypaws
    Nice words from Pedro - he was even smaller the Jose, and started out a bit younger. His age 25 year was when he really busted out and grabbed the Cy Young and was at the top for years. Berrios is tracking pretty well so far, not to say he'll ever reach Martinez' heights. Fun to see considering where the comparison comes from though. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/martipe02.shtml

    I also thank Mr. Buhr for a good read. Bechtold is having his share of difficulty in Cedar Rapids: .199 BA, .521 OPS. At 22 you'd like to see him move up before the 19 year old, but they both look in need of more time at low A.

    Larach was a tough out for the Gophers in their super-regional, which was the silver lining. Couple other Twins draftees may be on display tonight as super-regionals wind up. 24. Michael Davis, Texas Tech. Senior infielder, playing short mainly. https://www.vivathematadors.com/2018/6/5/17426850/2018-mlb-draft-prospect-senior-infielder-michael-davis He had 3 RBI in game 1. 31. Zach Neff, Mississippi State, Senior lefty reliever Fun video of teammate's opinion of the man here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hDDxCAZgh8 Both these games will stream in ESPN Live. edit: 17. Erik Cha, Cal-State Fullerton lefty senior is also still in the running
  12. Monkeypaws
    that .242 puts him 3rd highest in today's lineup - better than Kepler, Sano, basically anyone not named Ed....
  13. Monkeypaws
    Adrianza is hitting .320 over the last 10 games.
  14. Monkeypaws
    Anyone watching UM vs. OSU? Good game so far, 3-2 Minnesota in the 6th. Larnach to hit. Larnach 2-2 with a walk. Boy the ESPN guys are pumping Max Meyer's tires. He looks pretty good too.
  15. Monkeypaws
    Wow, as one who enjoys fundamentals, that last half inning was a disaster - failure to advance runners, take extra bases, and a lead off double goes wasted. Ugh. Bobby Wilson seems a nice guy, but I'd rather see Rortvedt here than him.
  16. Monkeypaws
    According to the draft signing tracker here, he actually came in 150K+ over slot.
  17. Monkeypaws
    Gordon and Gonsalves >> Petit and Littell.
  18. Monkeypaws
    This is kind of the inverse of what saw the Twins send Ramos to Washington for Capps. Panic, no good. Garver is still finding his way at the MLB level, 57 games. I'd rather give him a chance to grow into the job than make a short-sighted trade. Catcher isn't holding the Twins back at this point.
  19. Monkeypaws
    When I watch games on MLB, I always enjoy most those pitchers who get the ball back from the pitcher and get right back to business. To me, that infers focus on the game, not on one's self. Berríos has that in spades.
  20. Monkeypaws
    As a father of 2, my experience was, 0-2 is sleep deprivation; 3-9 is just the tops of the tops - you the man, or woman, in their lives; 10-18 is the challenge of balancing what the kids want and the outside world with the relationship you have built up to that point. Good cop, bad cop, friend or parent, it all gets muddled. 18-24 is where it all comes together for better or worse. In my case, it was better, but I've watched it go south with some of my kids' friends. Best of luck to all of you who are parents. Certainly puts baseball in perspective.
  21. Monkeypaws
    Where would this team be without the Eds?
  22. Monkeypaws
    9IP 6H 2ER 0BB 10K 109 pitches That is an ace line right there.
  23. Monkeypaws
    There may be a diamond or two in the rough.
  24. Monkeypaws
    8 of the Twins 10 picks in the 20s are college seniors. Like the dip into division 2 with Blank.
  25. Monkeypaws
