  1. I want whoever is the best pitcher, and I have no idea who that is, but I will be a lot more excited if May makes the team.
  2. And DeJesus hits a "double", which was basically a medium fly ball that Arcia jogged toward. Apparently the wind carried it and the ball ended up bouncing on the warning track. That looked like a t-ball outfield play.
  3. Really good 1-2 curve ball there by Nolasco, strike 3. Man I hope he can "regress" back to his career averages this year.
  4. Geez, Halsey, I would have thought you would want to watch all of Plouffe's at-bats after that home run. {run! serpentine, serpentine}
  5. Mark Hamburger made a nice bid to be sent to minor league camp today. 3 hits, 1 BB, 4 earned runs in 1 inning of work. Ex-Twin update: JJ Hardy, 1-3, 2 runs scored Chris Parmelee, 0-1, GIDP I'd cheer for Chris, if he were in the NL (or any time he plays the Yankees/Red Sox/AL Central)
  6. And Eduardo "Who Says I Can't Hit Much" Nunez blasts one out to center. Wind-aided, according to the announcers. Two-run homer, according to the big dog.
  7. Nice at-bat there by Rosario. Fouled off several pitches, then pulled one down the RF line for a triple. Impressive piece of hitting.
  8. Hughes just threw a ball that curved into the dirt. Pinto waved at it and got nothing. Unimpressive effort. He did a nice job of catching an outside ball and pulling it back a little for strike three. Very nice catch by Hicks there- very solid slicing line drive to center with Hicks shifted to the right. He got a great break on the ball and made a diving catch. Really good play.
  9. Nice to have a game on during a break in my day. Sorry I missed the Plouffe homer. Nice snow-cone catch by Hardy on a high pop-up in a swirling wind. During the previous batter a piece of paper was blowing around in circles over third base. Could be an entertaining day for fielders. Run 'em out, boys.
  10. I can't imagine trying to steal home with Harmon at the plate. I'd be running, ducking, and screaming "Harmon Don't Swing" the whole way.
  11. The idea that there is "the national opinion" of anything is just one person's opinion.
  12. I'd be happy to see them both walk off the field under their own power.
  13. "I'm really excited to be here! I'll do whatever the team wants- carry the bags, rake the baselines. Just glad to be in the majors. I want to help the team, and I'll do whatever it takes to stay here."
  14. re Adam Dunn, don't forget- chicks dig the long ball
  15. Yeah, if an employer actually pays people for performance rather than taking advantage of rules that emulate serfdom (though the serfs are really rich), it ought to have strong motivational effect on the younger serfs. Much nicer tone than Beane's "play hard, get good, and I'll swap you" effect.
  16. Check any of about five other threads. The ground has been gone over pretty thoroughly.
  17. And the beast has been poked...
  18. Or a 19-year-old Cuban who isn't ready for the majors.
  19. Great story, thanks so much. Best wishes to the Klaw!
  20. Does Tom bring a printer? No, wait, never mind. "That's a diamond cutter."
  21. And the late Carl Pohlad was the Treasurer!
  22. Yeah, Bostock was amazing. I was disappointed when the Twins didn't re-sign Hisle, absolutely crushed when they let Lyman go elsewhere. I actually remember where I was when I heard he'd been shot (college dorm room). A few of us baseball fans sat down and were stunned. I would be thrilled to have Rosario even remind us of Bostock a little bit.
  23. Call me crazy, but if they can afford to spend $60 million on a 19-yr-old player who won't be in the majors for perhaps two years, they can afford to build their own *($&*# stadiums.
  24. The sweetest words that ever have been: White Sox lose, Twins Win!
