    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.

    Free tickets to any Twins game for the rest of the season. Just stand by the gate and you should get plenty of offers.
  5. big dog
    We're actually number 1. It's just a matter of perspective.
  6. big dog
    OK, looks like today was the day Mauer passed Sano in season-long OPS in the pool. Who saw that coming?
  7. big dog
    To be fair, before tonight he was 0-4 with an ERA+ of 71. Alex Meyer dominated in 3 short stints with the Angels' rookie league team, then moved up to A+ and got shelled. So far I rate this trade a shrug.

    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.
  9. big dog
    Well, I think 12 in a row is enough. Time to win one tomorrow. <checks schedule> Hmmm....Dean vs. Kluber.... well...maybe...

    It means you eat agras.

    Geez, Schafer crushed that ball. That would have dented Otero if he hadn't throw his glove in front of his face.
  12. big dog
    Sure would suck to have Duffy or Berrios going tonight, wouldn't it? *#$@^
  13. big dog
    Well, I liked that just as the three-run homer pitch was being thrown. Yup. 8-7 isn't going to make it tonight.
  14. big dog
    Pretty solid 1 2/3 innings for Tomlin there. Solid in terms of throwing balls that hit bats, anyway. Would have liked to see him stay in against Sano.
  15. big dog
    Schafer took a pitch! My high expectations have been met! I'm a WINNER! Two pitches...(I'm live-blogging this) Swinging strike on the third pitch...didn't look close to hitting it, but it was a strike Foul line drive on the fourth pitch Took a close pitch for ball 2, count is 2-2 GROUND BALL UP THE MIDDLE FOR A HIT!!! IT IS OUR NIGHT!

    Let's go Logan! Clap, clap, clapclapclap! Let's go Logan! Clap., clap, clapclapclap! Echo, echo, echo, echo
  17. big dog
    OK, 8-7 is looking a little light here. Last one out please turn out the lights.
  18. big dog
    Dozier!!! Cranking one out, and silencing all 42 people at Cleveland! I will be sorry if they trade him, no matter how much sense it might make.
  19. big dog
    About that QB... Hey, who wants to play some Oregon Trail?
  20. big dog
    Here's what I would like to see tonight. I'd like to see Logan Schafer take a couple of pitches. He was out twice last night, seeing a total of two pitches. Well, there are lots of things I'd like to see, but that's probably the easiest one to get so I'll just hope for that.
  21. big dog
    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
  22. big dog
    If someone could somehow teach Centeno to be better at picking up low pitches, he'd have a shot.
  23. big dog
    Wow. Centeno isn't really a catch-and-throw guy, but he sure is a throw guy. Wow.
  24. big dog
    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.
  25. big dog
    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.
