    Quite a few years ago, the Twins spent a pretty good sum of money to sign an infielder that was, by a pretty solid consensus, going to be an incredible infielder, major league ready, etc. I recall reading one report that said Nishioka wouldn't amount to much at the MLB level. The consensus was wrong when it came to Nishioka. My point being that Robert Luis may be everything the scouts say he is and then some. However, the amount of risk and the kind of money involved is substantial. Luis could very well turn out to be an extremely expensive bust that will handcuff the Sox for a couple of years. On paper, looks great. Still an enormous amount of risk. It's great to say would have, could have, etc. This kind of signing for that kind of money always makes me skeptical. If someone has a better take on the Nishioka deal, please let me know. I admit I'm going by my rapidly aging memory.

    Watch, Gibson will go 7+ innings, strike out 7 and give up only 1 or two runs. For whatever reason, this team seems to find ways to win.

    I believe back when that was written, formal spelling of words really hadn't been standardized. Heck, check some of the writings of the Founders.

    Do you remember taking tubes out of the tv to the local shop and putting them in the tube tester and then buying the replacement based on the number? I thought that was pretty cool.
  6. Blake
    Yeah, me too. Not good.
  7. Blake
    Yeah, I've hung around some interesting, for lack of a better term, people in my life.

    Interesting side note about Preparation H: Used by body builders to shrink the bags under their eyes. No, not kidding. Don't blame me, blame Brian. Brian brought up Preparation H.

    I forgot the Twins have only been using 4 starters. Uggh. Talk about unpalatable choices. Wilk didn't show me anything when pitched against KC. I think against a real team, like Baltimore or Houston, he'd have been eaten alive. Double uggh. As for Gibson, I think he's a candidate for a change of scenery. I think Gibson has the ability but it just isn't working with the Twins. Nothing against Gibson, it's just the way it is sometimes. I've now talked myself down to Tepesch. And I know nothing about him. Not good.

    By the way, I put $20 on the Twins to win the Series when I was in Laughlin. Only got 40 to 1 odds. I believe it was a lot more than that earlier in the year. I also took Cleveland for $20. 7 to 1 odds.

    It's funny, but Duffey might have been an answer but he's looking to be a much needed arm in the bullpen. Maybe Mejia is allowed to make a case for himself and if he does, Hughes then becomes expendable?
  12. Blake
    Yeah, Mejia is showed something today.

    Winner: (hey, they split the double header)

    So far, on National TV, Hunter has mentioned Coors Light and Geico. The producers must be pulling their hair out for the unpaid advertising. I love it!

    In other words, Hughes pretty much never pitches again?
  16. Blake
    I'm starting to think the FO needs to roll the dice a bit more and run with younger starters. Let the veteran be Santana and let Hughes find another team, if he can. Sometimes, salary just has to be eaten. It happens.

    Torri probably has enough pull to get that song played, as a joke, when Kepler and Buxton are taking fielding practice.
  18. Blake
    Hey, it turned into a great day, because, in the end, he gets an autographed baseball from Torii. It will be impossible for his friends to give him grief after that.
  19. Blake
    Someone in Rochester needs to step up because Hughes just isn't long for the rotation, from what I've seen. Hughes has benefited tremendously from having stellar defense in the outfield.
  20. Blake
    Yes.
  21. Blake
    Okay, so, when are the Twins going to stop pitching to Perez and, conversely, when is KC going to stop pitching to Sano?
  22. Blake
    Nothing too amazing other then Grossman and Kepler going deep in the first inning.
  23. Blake
    I have Extra Innings from Direct TV and the game is on here in Bakersfield. Interesting. My mistake, I bought a sports package that includes Extra Innings. Sorry about that.
  24. Blake
    If someone would be so kind as to post lineups. I need to leave for a bit. Thank you in advance.

    Escobar took some lousy at bats. That was tough to watch.
