  1. Insane, but the hardest ball I ever saw live was hit by Mark Salas, a catcher for the Twins in the 80s who had a very era-appropriate nickname of "The Chief." (he was native). He hit an upper deck homerun, then was traded the next day. I was about 5. EDIT: OMG, for 40 years I've believed Mark Salas was of native decent, because that's what my dad told me when I asked why his nickname was "The Chief." Only now thanks to Google do I learn he was of Mexican decent. There is no joke here, I'm being serious.
  2. Ok. Trade for Eovaldi and have TX kick in 8M in salary. Of course this will cost much more in prospects. Then his option vests, and we get to deal him for a nice piece next offseason after he helps us win the world series. Win, win, win. Or just pony up for the young, cost and team controlled SP I want us to bring in.
  3. The Freeport Black Sox stadium in pretty nice. You may want to put it on your list.
  4. My preferred photo spot also. Well played.
  5. Also, I suck at golf. I was, however, an all-state tennis play about 25 years and 150 pounds ago.
  6. Oh, I have no illusions about how epic MLB players' hitting skills are. But if a month of intense focus in AAA helped him figure things out, couldn't that have been done in the offseason? On the other hand, sometimes it just takes time.
  7. Careful, the line between Jinxes and reverseJinxes is razer thin.
  8. Kinda makes me wonder what his offseason looked like? He ended last year looking a rough, a lot like he started this year. Did he really need all that time in AAA to figure stuff out?
  9. Wait a minute?!? What was all that 1 in a million talk?!?
  10. Everyone here knows Margot's first PH hit will be a HR in the playoffs, bottom of the 9th, to win a series against the Yankees.
  11. Please enter my vote for post of the day.
  12. Wow, what the what lol? How did we get here?
  13. I missed the pregame, who is on the radio with Danny tonight? Is it the guy from AAA? He's not bad.
  14. Good Deal, lets get the HR streak out of the way early.
  15. Which is you? Also, I think my high school graduation had more people in attendance.
  16. 1 pinch, 1 hit. This is going to be a good game.
  17. Let's not overwhelm the fella. Baby steps.
  18. Obviously we're working towards some sort of Inception type thing where Margot eventually pinch-hits for the leadoff guy in the 1st and then later pinch-hits for himself.
  19. Not sure if agree with this. Everyone here is more than willing to give the players all the credit when things go well. And none of the blame when things go poorly. 😋
  20. Austin Martin to DL I think. Sorry, IL.
  21. I think he will be a very valuable player in the 2nd half playoff push. Hope his bat shows out and he gets a monster payday next year.
