    Billy Beane must be feeling sick right now. He gave up a lot of minor league talent for one loss and a year of Samardzia. Gutsy move, but yikes.
  2. big dog
    Um, no. At a couple of places I've worked there would have been 20% staffing if this were true. And that's despite us having non-guaranteed contracts.

    Good night, everybody. Have a good offseason.

    Hey SD, I like your vision. It makes more sense as a whole than any of the individual parts do.
  5. big dog
    Please stop, you're scaring the children.
  6. big dog
    Yeah, I'm listening with the sound off so I didn't hear any commentary, but I don't need to. His reaction told it all.
  7. big dog
    Oh oh, Bad Trevor made that throw. Still, I like what I've seen over all.
  8. big dog
    And the umpire has a (Jackson) Pollock strike zone.
  9. big dog
    Well, maybe Hughes. I bet Yankee fans don't regret giving up Hughes, they just hate him even worse than they used to.
  10. big dog
    I would have liked this post if you had put it into 2 sentences. --ok that would have been a better post 20 minutes ago, but hey I'm WORKIN' here.

    In case I haven't mentioned it, I really like Danny Santana. Wherever it is he plays.
  12. big dog
    Two stolen bases after a leadoff hit, but no runs. And no one got hurt on Suzuki's wild throw to second. Good inning!
  13. big dog
    Looking forward to a great game from Hughes...even though Brian's right, I'd rather see it against the Motor City Kitties.

    My impression of Pinto's catching abilities dropped some last night, as he walked toward the dugout holding the ball while the batter ran (safely) to first. Did he not know you have to catch a third strike cleanly? Did he not realize he caught a ball that short-hopped his glove? Did he not know that when the batter runs, you throw to first just in case? How often does that happen in the majors- a runner stealing first uncontested while the catcher holds the ball? My money is on "Just about never".

    I vote "frustrated", personally.

    I was going to post in here about May, but the mention of Stephen Drew vs. the 2nd round pick (Burdi) got me all distracted. Now we can sign Drew without giving up a pick. Would I want to do it? Not one bit. Dodged a bullet there. Anyway, my original point was I am buying my first Twins tickets of the year (I live in Chicago) because my daughter wanted to go. I was dragging my feet, but May is pitching and I want to see him so I just shelled out. I hope Pinto is catching, too. LTKP! (let the kids play)

    Don't forget, Liriano was a free agent. I've never heard any evidence that he was hoping to re-sign with the Twins. I think a change was good for him (except for the change to the White Sox, which wasn't for that long anyway). I for one don't regret not signing him. He could just as easily have been injured for the last two years- we certainly had long stretches of that. If he does get his slider working, it will probably just mean another operation in the near future. Happy for him, glad we moved on. The crazy ex can have a good second marriage, I'm still glad she's gone.

    Span is within spitting distance of his career averages in just about all categories this year. Not sure why he thinks this is some kind of phenomenal breakout- OBP is exactly .001 higher, for example.
  19. big dog
    Nolasco's last 5 starts: 32 IP, 11 ER, 3.09 ERA. If we pretend that 8-run stinker didn't happen (because we can always pretend), the other 4 starts: 27 IP, 3 ER, 1.0 ERA. DickBert reported last night that Nolasco says his elbow feels better than it has for 2 years. Here's hoping that is the case next March.

    If Hicks gets a hit here, I'm buying everyone in the room a beer. That would be me, my wife who doesn't drink beer, my dog, who's a lush, and the cat, who can share with the dog.

    Joe Nathan reminds me of Glen Perkins circa 2014.
  22. big dog
    Glen Perkins is bringing back memories of Ron Davis circa 1983.
  23. big dog
    OK, looking for a big ninth. Ideally, we hit a line drive that Hunter misplays into an inside the park HR. That seems fair.
  24. big dog
    OK, now we just need to beat Nathan. Boos cascading down on Perkins. Can't say I blame them.
