    Funny, I was thinking along the same lines. If Nolasco has a horrendous spring and still makes the team, I won't be happy. I think Nolasco should be let go if he shows he's still the same pitcher the Twins had last year. The Twins can lose just as easily with younger better yet untested arms.
  2. Blake
    I believe you're correct. My opinion is that such mistakes loom much larger for someone like Benson versus someone like Polanco.
  3. Blake
    Benson is a veteran and knows better. I couldn't believe it.
  4. Blake
    That's probably a fairer assessment.
  5. Blake
    I was just wondering. It's early yet, though not too early to be down on Mr. Nolasco. For whatever reason, Mr. Nolasco, to me, seems to be just going through the motions of being a pitcher.

    Rub it in... On a more serious note, was the line drive over Sano's head misplayed or just hit that hard?
  7. Blake
    I liked this so I could unlike it. Yeah yeah, petty jealousy.

    So far, Escobar has shown: 1. He makes the plays he should. 2. and has a competent bat. Eduardo appears to be something the Twins have sorely lacked at the SS position these last few years: reliable. Not flashy, just a steady presence up the middle. Every organization needs those kinds of players.

    Shoot, do I even make the 40 man roster?
  10. Blake
    I think that's a somewhat negative thought in and of itself.

    PLAY BALL!!!

    Bill, Cuddyer bounced around the infield before being moved to right field, where he did a pretty darn good job. Perhaps the Twins have decided to avoid that mistake and make the move now? Anyway, it's entertaining to talk about and it may yet turn out to be a train wreck. (speaking of train wrecks, the thought of a Buxton/Sano collision should keep Molitor and Ryan up at night)

    Back when the late Harmon Killebrew was broadcasting Twins games, he mentioned a couple of times he thought the outfield was the better place for long term player health, because players don't have to do all the bending and twisting, etc., that infielders have to do. We can speculate all we want about Sano's attitude and ability, but, in the end, we won't know anything until we actually see Sano play.

    Being a stand-up guy cuts both ways. Gonsalves kept his mouth shut while his "friend" let him hang out to dry. This has nothing to do with smoking pot and everything to do with integrity. Gonsalves appears to have integrity. Pot smoking buddy? I'd say "no." Severity of punishment has nothing to do with doing the right thing.

    I think we have a volunteer.

    I think we should declare this thread the official "gameday spring training thread." It's got all the needed elements. Okay, only one real element is needed for gameday threads: weirdness.

    The Negativity Police put themselves in the penalty box? Is this a major or a minor penalty?
  18. Blake
    Alcohol. Cigars. Brats. Dogs. Maybe actual baseball once in a while. Maybe.

    Since when did sobriety, or lack thereof, have anything to do with TD threads?
  20. Blake
    The adjective you're looking for is "twisted."

    I don't want people to think I'm down on Stewart the person or anything like that. The area of risk is wound/post surgical wound management. Diabetics just don't heal as well as other people and are more prone to infections. Those are my real areas of concern. I grew up with and had close family friends who were diabetics. That was when I first found out insulin isn't a magic bullet that allows one to live their life just like anyone else.
  22. Blake
    I am not a fan of this signing, at all. Type 1 diabetes is not a joke and the risks involved for the player and the organization are enormous. People are under the impression that as long as Stewart takes his insulin, all will be well. That is far from the truth and I'm astounded the Twins took this kind of risk.
  23. Blake
    Sports writers tend to sit on things. Some of the stuff that came out about Manny Ramirez after he PEDed himself out of the game was rather startling.
  24. Blake
    I was hoping you were answering my question, because I was all set to steal some of your ideas. Ah well.
  25. Blake
    Are you replying to my question or working on topics for gameday threads?
