  1. Yeesh, can't a guy be a curmudgeon on this site? Oh, and get off my lawn! But yeah, I think you've got a point about getting rid of interleague play when it comes to the DH. I don't mind some changes but I'm dead set against the universal DH, though I think pitchers swinging a bat borders on silly at times. I guess I worry that MLB is going to do to baseball what the NFL has done to football. (NFL might as well not even draft running back any more, because passing is what the rules are designed to encourage) The preceding opinion is worth about what you'd expect. Maybe less.
  2. DH and no DH are ground rules, from where I sit. If the move is to homogenize the leagues, might as well go all out and homogenize the parks too.
  3. Universal DH? Absolutely not. Might as well make all ball parks the same so that ground rules become meaningless. Pitch clock? Eh. Want to speed up games? Stop running 3 minutes of commercials between half innings. 3x18 = 54 minutes of commercials.
  4. In looking at this game, and other such "opener" games in the past, I think the Twins need to figure out a way to win these games. It appears this is an effective way to beat the Twins. If so, then expect playoff teams to go with this sort of pitching arrangement, should the Twins make the playoffs.
  5. Buxton: "I'm heading to third!" Sano: "Crap, I only have a 90' foot lead!'
  6. Survey says: Expectations are very high for this team. So, yeah.
  7. I motion the Rangers forfeit. All in favor?
  8. Yes, but the higher they go, the farther they fall...
  9. It's not a binary choice, it's an "If then" question. You forgot the variable.
  10. Someone found Chief's "Big Book of Jokes" I see.
  11. Hmm, let's see, that's a total of... ..oops., sorry, I almost broke the "no math" rule.
  12. Ah, same town I live in. City, I should say, as we're approaching 400K people.
  13. And again: Texas: "We're gonna get you, we're gonna get you!" Twins: "Meep, meep."
  14. But, do you know how to take all the credit and avoid all the blame? If so, you're upper management material!
  15. The ground was shaking where I live yesterday.
  16. I forgot about Gibson. No idea. The Twins face some interesting decisions this off-season.
  17. Wow, missing the cutoff man really cost Texas.
  18. Morneau and Laudner would be a good tandem to work with Dick.
  19. With the way Perez and Pineda are pitching, I'm starting to wonder if the Twins offer a contracts to them both and Odorizzi is the odd man out?
  20. I like Laudner in the booth. Seems to really have a good way of conveying nuances of the game without necessarily focusing on any one aspect. Edit:Ninja'd by PDX
  21. Put one in the seats last night. Well, okay, so did every other batter last night, but still....
