  1. Hoffman was a curious choice for the 8th. Threw 25 pitches last night and 3 of the last 4 games. This says more about how much they trust Rogers than it does about Hoffman here.
  2. 😬😬😬😟😟😟 - is that the correct amount of emojis that Peter posts?
  3. I'm not sure I would have made the trade either. Just suggesting it's a closer deal than many would think. Neto is likely to be a 20/20 man for the third year in a row. Neto is a known quantity vs the mystery box. For all we know, Culpepper may end up like Lewis and have a hot start and languish for the next 2-3 years with injuries similar to Royce since he has been battling random injuries all season. Sometimes there's a price to pay for that. Kind of like owning real gold vs owning stock in gold exploration companies. The mining companies only pay out when they hit. And no, that is not stock advice at all. Not trying to get TD in trouble for anything.
  4. I think that's a closer call than Jenkins. I'm sure there would have to be some details that would have to be addressed to make it even. You're expecting the same path for Neto as we are for Culpepper. Neto would have been our SS until Houston makes it to the majors and then Neto likely shifts to 3rd. I'm not sure how a specific trade would work, but it would be much closer than what the Angels were asking for in Jenkins.
  5. Will it be renamed Permanent Struggle Time if it goes through?
  6. Another possibility when listening to interviews of pitchers has been the stuff that works changes from start to start so it may take an inning to figure out what will and won't work today.
  7. He is a special case where I think there should be a Commissioner button should be allowed to be pushed. People who belong in the HOF that, for whatever reason, didn't get in. Sort of fixing a falling through the cracks. He has been out of baseball long enough to be passed over multiple times by the Veterans Era Committee. I'm not sure the history of why he has been passed over. To me, that is why the Commissioner should be able to step in in rare circumstances, especially since it is reported that John is in hospice care.
  8. IDK, many a pastor has been able to overlook that Commandment. Televangelists seem to be about the worst. Kreidler may have been able to ask for forgiveness there.
  9. Bring this show back with Kreidler in the poster?
  10. Kreidler refuses to go quietly into that good night.
  11. Non-game note. Honestly didn't realize that Tommy John was still alive. Read his statement he made to the Yankees today for Old-Timer's Day. That man needs to be in the HOF. His contribution to baseball is immeasurable, even if the numbers may not be quite there.
  12. I know the saying is to not make the first or third out at 3rd base. Anymore, the players are fast enough to score from 2nd base on a hit. I'm not sure that any out at 3rd base is safe anymore.
  13. Still remember Sabato's best asset was 'light-tower power'. I cringe every time I hear that because that usually means there are no other skills which that player possesses.
  14. I think his batting will continue to improve. I'm not sure he has been on the IL this year (likely wrong) and he is getting more comfortable at his new defensive position. Relaxing on one end of the game should help him relax on the other end.
  15. Most impressive of Royce's AB was his patience. Took the first strike because it wasn't his pitch. Found a mistake he liked and hit it. Great AB Royce!
  16. Nice pitch count for Gasser. Great patience by the Twins!
  17. Mine as well. I figured they were trying to fix the game and didn't want anyone to notice. Twins can do it all themselves. They don't need any help.
  18. Has anyone noticed this year that the Twins production crew only puts up the Expected Run graphic when the other team is batting and not the Twins? Must have been roasted too much last year with all the bases-loaded nobody out and seemingly never scoring a run.
  19. Did you find Flo at the dog park? Maybe that's why you're having good luck!
  20. Insurance payouts? 6-18 months. Need to refile twice and spend at least three game's worth of time on the phone.
  21. With a side trip to Iowa, because no trip to MN should be without one.
  22. Those glove yips are strong on the bench. 😉 Kreidler is at 3rd tonight.
  23. And that play there is the difference between AAA and the majors. Tough break for the kid. He will learn. But we are trying to win a WS. Learning isn't allowed!
