  1. Kyle DeBarge has 40 SB?? And it's in 41 attempts according to his Baseball Ref page. Fourth-highest total in the minors, far and away the best percentage among the leaders (and presumably everyone else with at least one caught stealing). Congrats!!
  2. I would add something here, but I’m using this current periodic of horrible Suckage as a time for a mental break, to reset myself.
  3. Over-under on hits, I’m setting 5. Whaddya got?
  4. He's been used entirely as a starter until then. Brought up for two games early this year, got shelled and sent back. He was brought up for just one game this time and immediately returned. Must have just been a huge temporary need by the Reds and he was the guy picked to fill in.
  5. Between the action on the field and Dan Gladden handling the radio booth all by himself, I quit listening early. Sometimes you just have to make the decision to save yourself, no one's going to help you out.
  6. Giants designated LaMonte Wade Jr for assignment.
  7. Well, enjoy yourself then. Judge Sano, judge me, judge anyone you like. Don’t forget to look inward once in a while, though.
  8. Not too long ago the Twins might have picked up Gibson now as a possible fifth starter.
  9. Weather's brutal again. I hope no one gets hurt.
  10. My own view is that this kind of "parody" isn't appropriately directed at anyone, star or not. Find something else to write about that's actually funny, like thinning out the ranch dressing.
  11. Nope, you’re right. I read the wrong game.
  12. It’s on Apple TV. I don’t think mlb.com gets to use that.
  13. And after 8 outs, Gore has 7 Ks. And 9 base runners.
  14. I definitely need a Union Laguna Cotton Workers jersey.
  15. Saturday night's game featured Adrian Johnson, befuddled by pitches that moved a little. He got 83.1% correct according to Umpire Auditor. 17 bad calls into the 6th inning, 13 of them going against the Twins. That's not complaining about the umpire, that's objectively measuring (though probably not perfectly) an umpire who had a really terrible night. If they routinely got over 95% correct, only missed pitches that were really close, and were at least as good or better in really important spots, I could live with that. They aren't there.
  16. Reminds me of Nick Burdi, along with some others. I wish him luck, whatever he decides.
  17. One report said the first baseman's elbow came in contact with some part of his head, but I didn't read anything suggesting that was the definitive cause. Good luck, Luis.
  18. Did you look at that list of relievers? I’m not asking for $700 million. What about another $10 million? Or does money just not matter?
  19. Um, spending money is not irrelevant. The point is that those teams spent money, even if they had to spend it. The Twins aren't. At least not enough.
  20. Didn’t both those guys come in with new GMs? They didn’t do this single-handedly. Also both those teams spend money. I’m not defending Baldelli but just a new manager isn’t going to fix this team.
  21. For years I've looked forward to when I could retire, with a big plan being spend some time in Fort Myers at spring training. I retire this summer. At this point if I go to Fort Myers it will be for the fishing. This article really drives home the point of how ridiculous this has been. If they don't care, why should I?
