    The Twins' biggest problem this year is inconsistency. Hoping and praying for a reclamation project is NOT the fix for the wild swings plaguing this team. And if you look at Falvey &Cos. track record, you can count on an old (washed up) vet keeping his roster spot (see Joey Gallo...) and someone with promise (and options) getting a bus ticket to St. Paul. All to roster someone off the trash heap.

    If you come up in the bottom of the 10th inning down by one run, it is NOT ACCEPTABLE WHATSOEVER for not scoring the tying run. In Little League it is understandable. If you can't advance the runner from 2B with no outs, you are not a professional hitter. Leaving a man on 3B with one out (the worst result for a professional hitter following a pro hitter in extra innings) is unacceptable for professional hitter. I hate the ridiculous extra innings rule for numerous reasons, but the Twins execution since the advent of the little league rules is even worse!!!

    Always struck me as the sort who would offer you a pinch of Copenhagen when you were down... Nice to see him still in the game!

    At least TC is showing some decent taste... More than can be said for anyone else involved in this fashion travesty! #FREE-TC

    Puck fugly...

    C'mon... Ain't nobody nowhere ever been both a "productive member of society" and a White Sox fan. The number simply with jobs can be counted on one hand!

    Isn't eligible??? Just because he is 108 years older than me? Minnesota's discrimination laws might mandate his call-up...

    Let's take a specific example that is (or maybe already was) quite popular - the "sweeper" style slider. The stats show it to be (at least at one specific time) the hardest pitch to hit. The end result of this discovery was to have everyone and his dog learn the sweeper because it is the most difficult pitch to hit. No though that the reason the pitch was, at one specific time, so tough was because only a few guys threw it. Possibly even they were the most suited to using it due to one of several other factors such the rest of their arsenal, arm angle, or simply having a "knack" for it that can't be quantified or qualified (think Mariano Rivera and his 99.9% cutter usage - no one else could throw it that often without getting teed up). To paraphrase, there are lies, damnable lies, and then there are statistics....

    You have to admit it makes a nice start to a AAAA all-star team...

    About the only way this could get more embarrassing is if it involved public masturbation! Ah, Miguel being Miguel...

    An analogy... You have a dog, and every time you let him out of the house he bites the nearest stranger. He got the UPS man today. Yesterday he bit the local politician doing door to door campaigning. The day before that he bit the FFA gal doing fundraising sales. When that dog bites someone tomorrow- surprising no one - the fault lies with the person who is too stubborn to do what needs to be done.

    Trying to figure out the down vote on this comment. Maybe the facts are just too damned depressing!

    This site will never allow an honest evaluation of Margot (too critical, "too mean" or insulting...) so we get yours! Accepting him as even an occasional pinch hitter (his defense, supposedly an asset, is so bad that it should be a firable offense to put in any game as a defensive replacement) is beyond even laughable! A Gallo-level error in breaking spring training with him on a roster at any level.
  14. Bodie
    Margot hasn't earned a place on the WHITE SOX roster with his play. Whatever he (supposedly) had for baseball talent in the past has eroded to the point his place is in independent ball...

    I'd call it utterly unprofessional, but tomato/tomatto...
  16. Bodie
    Simple idea... Ask to shake hands with the pitcher before the trade. Find an old farmer with a hook (for a right hand) to do it for southpaws. I can think of a couple of trades that probably would have fallen apart right about then...
  17. Bodie
    And Mr. 13-innings could have had a long career if they would have babied him...
  18. Bodie
    3 hits. 7 strikeouts. Twice as many Ks as hits: sounds like (modern) Twins baseball...
  19. Bodie
    Find it worrying that the team needs multiple explicit reminders that they are professionals, and should act like it ...
  20. Bodie
    Odd... My fondest dream involved swerving to miss a tree and running over the Yankees!
  21. Bodie
    If it is taking a toll, there is a problem much more immediate than "workload management"...

    Byron Buxton- the Twins' Ferrari. Oh, so very sexy when everything thing is tuned perfectly. An utter pain in our collective arse when not. But even when not optimally tuned, we still know he is a Ferrari and dream of that V8 purring along at 7000 rpm, sexy as a Magnum PI repeat...

    Nice to this game follow the earlier 12th inning "outburst"! Kick 'em when they are down! (twice if you can) Nice to see the kids step up and play like they belong in Minneapolis and not St. Paul. Does a lot to calm some early season bad vibes that I'm getting....

    And here I am thinking it was extraordinarily generous... Still rather have ol' DK than diSca. The one has been a serviceable starter. The other? Never in his career, and now out. I'd direct y'all to my reaction upon completion of the diSca trade (best case scenario being an injury to keep a bad arm from being a black hole on the pitching staff), but that would be a bit too much "I told you so". Hope for TJ surgery just to keep a 5+ ERA off the active roster for the season because they refuse to cut bait of obvious fork-ups! (see Joey Gallo for an example of Twins keeping an obvious detriment for no other reason than the salary obligation)
  25. Bodie
    Even in meaningless games, I HATE to see Ks outnumbering hits, especially after last year's (and not just last season...) K-palooza. I can remember when any player who did so was almost universally deemed to not be a real MLB player. No clue what the consensus would be about a team doing so would be, but I can guess!
