    Agreed, but the time to make a play is not when you are allowing the tying run to get into scoring position in the ninth inning, by trying to throw out a runner who really doesn't matter too much...

    Looking forward to seeing his first chance in the field and his first AB. Go James!

    Thanks, Seth, really fun article and walk down memory lane. Jones and Ryan looked like they were going to be something for a while. Jones eventually had a bit of career. For some reason I must have gotten 3 or 4 Danny Walton cards in the mid-70s, even though I didn't collect cards in any real sense. That 1970 season, 454 ABs and a 117 OPS+, really jumped out compared to his Twins career. And his big year in Tacoma came 4 years after his MLB breakout, so he should get an asterisk! Yeah, the big scary story is how few of them went on to be successful in the majors. Let's hope at least one of Palka/Walker breaks into that elite group.

    But to accurately view Victory during this losing streak, you have to be sure to look through the large end of the telescope instead of the small end.

    Brian, the photo of the police SUV crashed into a Dunkin Donuts is absolutely spectacular.

    I think players perform better when they at least have some chance to win. We've got to have a pitcher they can count on. I don't see anyone else stepping up to that position.

    That was a nice at-bat by sano. Held up his swing, fouled off some pitches, didn't flail at ball 4 in the dirt

    If someone could somehow teach Centeno to be better at picking up low pitches, he'd have a shot.
  9. big dog
    Wow. Centeno isn't really a catch-and-throw guy, but he sure is a throw guy. Wow.

    I never played Oregon Trail, but I played enough similar games to laugh out loud a few times at the early posts in the thread. re Logan Schafer- I didn't know anything much about him other than his Rochester stats. I am astounded to see that we just called up a 29-year-old to start in center, who has been in the big leagues for almost 300 games and has a career OPS+ of 66. Huh. Interesting. Let's hope tonight is the night he breaks out.

    I'm sure Napoli is wondering how Mauer was allowed to make a catch that far into the stands. In Philadelphia they would have stolen his glove and probably tried to stab him. Or at least that's what I've heard.

    Twins vs. Blue Jays = baby seals vs. Norwegians

    Agreed. Watching santana triple-clutch as he strolled to second on that ball in the dirt was just about the last straw. I don't see the hope for the future if Molitor keeps playing guys with no future. Time to take a break.

    My god am I sick of watching Plouffe and D. Santana. Please just end this madness.

    My understanding is that on other planets, the term "alien abductions" refers to us capturing their tourists. Scares about this have affected people's travel plans but at least it keeps our restaurants from being so crowded. Plus we don't have to worry about interstellar exchange rates when they try to pay.

    I'd take his record this year over JR Murphy's output in Rochester. As far as being in Toledo, this is Detroit, where they love vets even more than Gardy did.
  17. big dog
    I'd like to see Centeno catch a ball that bounces in front of the plate once before settling on him. He does some things well, but man is he weak on balls in the dirt.
  18. big dog
    I believe the Hicks referenced above was not Aaron Hicks, but was John Hicks, the catcher we picked up from Seattle who was waived to make room for the outfielder who retired rather than get called up (Murphy?- too many Murphys and Hicks's in this thread). John Hicks was picked up by Detroit and currently has an OPS of .858 in AAA Toledo.
  19. big dog
    Some high-quality relieving there, too.
  20. big dog
    OK, that's a major league play there by Polanco.
  21. big dog
    Apparently you picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
  22. big dog
    Boy, it looks like the Brewers traded GoGo just in time- not quite selling high, but at least getting out well before the bottom.
  23. big dog
    I don't remember a Twins team ever having this many baserunning mistakes. Maybe I've just walled off that corner of my mind. Or maybe I'm old and I forget stuff, that could be it too. Nice inning here if Sano had stayed on second.
  24. big dog
    Kepler and Polanco have really upped the watchability of the Twins lately. I stop what I'm doing when they are at bat. Except for watching, I mean.
  25. big dog
    That's a nice win, sports fans.
