    I feel like this binary game thread list is deeper than I realize.
  2. AlwaysinModeration
    And he signed, at slot. Hope he does well as he starts his career as a Twin. It's a long slog ahead of him. Looking forward to tracking his progress.
  3. AlwaysinModeration
    Didn't you mean "a satisfactory in-house replacement"?
  4. AlwaysinModeration
    It's hard to get swept in a four-game series (at home).
  5. AlwaysinModeration
    Because you will post your 1000th post, probably about Oswaldo Arcia, Robbie Grossman, and Pat Dean?
  6. AlwaysinModeration
    Let's compare Arcia to Grossman. Arcia Minors: 2119 PA, 297/358/517 for a 875 OPS (8 seasons) Majors: 967PA, 240/303/429, 732 OPS (4 seasons) Grossman Minors: 3371PA, 271/379/392, 771OPS (9 seasons) Majors: 870PA, 249/342/370, 712OPS (4 seasons) All told, Arcia out OPS's Grossman 832 to 765. For a team that generally is loyal to their players, why are they throwing away a player they have had in their system for a decade, in favor of an inferior player who happened to have a good 100 at bats?

    In the game thread I started Sunday, I joked that I hoped Chargois wasn't on a plane back to Rochester. So I was looking through the box scores from this week and was wondering why I hadn't seen him pitch again. Five days! Then I discover he was optioned for Neil Ramirez. Seriously? Seriously?!? They gave him one freaking appearance? This whole organization is a joke.
  8. AlwaysinModeration
    Its almost a self-fulfilling prophecy, isn't it? He says "total system failure" and then does nothing, allowing TR to continue to butcher the roster, and PM to continue to make inexplicable line-up choices, both of which are hurting the long-term competitiveness of the team. So the total system failure has extended to himself.

    I hate this move, because it's another example of the Twins driving a player's value down to his lowest point and then selling him / giving him away. It shouldn't need to be said, but buy high, sell low is not the way to run an organization. The Twins prioritized Kintzler, Boshers, Dean, Neil Ramirez, and Grossman over Arcia. Arcia must be thrilled. He will wind up playing on a team will put him in the best position to succeed. And that is, consistent ABs against RHP, either at DH or OF. The fact that most of the regular posters on here, as well as most of the other teams in the league, know this, and the Twins do not, is a huge indictment of the Twins FO and manager.

    I think the proper format, especially in the Internet, is "true story."
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    I read it exactly the same way but liked the thinking.
  12. AlwaysinModeration
    How's Plouffe's conditioning?
  13. AlwaysinModeration
    That Demi Lovati throw-in was priceless. If the Twins ever get any October baseball, she could sing Frozen during the 7th inning stretch.

    1. Bam. Undefeated in game threads. (Although I will admit it looked dicey there.) 2. Very disappointed the bench didn't dump a Gatorade bucket or a shaving cream to the face for Max during the post-game. Marley was even trying to stall with nothing questions. First major league homer, a walk-off? That deserves a dousing.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    I kind of want to "like" this and reply "boo." Is that acceptable?
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    He missed that 1-1 pitch.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    I would have PH Arcia for Centeno, but that is just me.
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    I don't actually remember seeing a DP on a sac bunt before.
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Walk off homer by Buxton, anyone?
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Hanley Ramirez should give Nunez some pointers on how to lose a helmet. That was well done.
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins motto 2016: Exhausting all of the ways to lose?
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    I think you meant to say "after hearing him, it sounds like he will make at least two trades in the next week. However, having observed him in action over the past many years, I suspect that will not be the case."
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Thank you sir. Grossman's time in the 3-spot didn't last long.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Can't seem to edit the original post, so here are the lineups: Boston Red Sox 1. Mookie Betts ® RF 2. Dustin Pedroia ® 2B 3. Xander Bogaerts ® SS 4. David Ortiz (L) DH 5. Hanley Ramirez ® 1B 6. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF 7. Chris Young ® LF 8. Josh Rutledge ® 3B 9. Christian Vazquez ® C Minnesota Twins 1. Eduardo Nunez ® 3B 2. Robbie Grossman (S) LF 3. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 4. Trevor Plouffe ® DH 5. Brian Dozier ® 2B 6. Max Kepler (L) RF 7. Eduardo Escobar (S) SS 8. Juan Centeno (L) C 9. Byron Buxton ® CF

    Actually, I bet he could.
