  1. May stream of WCCO is delayed, so that game day updates real-time or faster. It’s weird, but it’s free and legal
  2. I'm now picturing players dressed up like ships, ice burgs, and accountants...
  3. At least it's Jackie Robinson day instead of Titanic day
  4. Sano needs to heat up well before the all-star break to be tradeable at the deadline. Provided that happens (and I think it will), I agree, it’s almost a certainty that Sano gets traded to a contender who needs a DH. That is the MO of Falvey and Levine, if they aren’t extending or picking up his option, they trade them away.
  5. I gotta think as the rotation starts going deeper, they can reduce the bullpen. Two arms are coming off the active roster in 2 weeks. You could sneak a marginal reliever through waivers or add a marginal guy (and waive him) then as everybody would be churning a couple guys
  6. The rotation has pitched pretty well. Good enough to keep them in games. As others have noted, there’s not enough horses, my prediction in that light is the 6 man rotation will last the season unless the injury bug hits hard, to manage the innings among a group that (outside of gray) none of them will touch 150 innings. The bullpen has been rough, relievers typically have a lot of variability. Looking forward to some more churn as the season progresses. I wonder how long Celestino stays up? Assume he’d be replaced by Upton or Garlick. I hope the bats wake up soon
  7. The Twins have never had a 30/30 player, seems attainable for Buxton if he remains healthy
  8. I know right! Rena’s work always makes me smile. I needed that today
  9. Add to: Double session of PT Watching any hallmark movie helping my 8 yo with homework
  10. Sure can. Just make sure you are clear of the tools being used to generate the content (this is a simulation, which one, etc) in the title and in the content, so readers don’t get confused with the live games during the season. also make sure to site sources. We need to respect other people’s intellectual property.
  11. Whether or not this is the plan, it doesn’t look like Winder will go more than an inning
  12. Winder in for the 5th. Scheduled piggy-back “start”? If they don’t get rained on, suppose the plan is 2-3 innings?
  13. Hoping it’s a preemptive trip and he’ll be back in the minimum
  14. Sano .236 avg, .328 obp, .488 slg, 117 wRC+ Dunn .237 avg, .364 obp, .490 slg, 123 wRC+ Sano might as well be a statistical clone of Adam Dunn. I’m not a Sano “apologist”, I’m not even a particular fan of his. I’m just pointing out that Sano does bring value with his bat over the season, he’s not some boat anchor weighing the team down (hitting-wise). there is more than one way to hit.
  15. wRC+ which puts weighted run contribution on a relative scale (100 is league average runs per plate appearance) is an attempt at comprehensive quality of a player’s hitting. Sano’s average is 117, so by that measure he is 17% above average. Super Star? No, but above average
  16. As brilliant as MVP Byron Buxton has been, Sano has been the exact opposite.
  17. I am very pleasantly surprised by his outing
