  1. Estas cortado! Dios mio!
  2. having a broken dryer sucks. Fixing it is supremely satisfying. Listening to the Twins own the Brewers during... time for a cigarette ... after I check for gas leaks
  3. Lawn mowed, listening to the game while fixing my dryer... it’s a good evening
  4. Timing is everything, but there’s only so far you can go with shenanigans Quote: AZ Phil of the cub reporter. Only players with a verified injury or illness may be placed on an injured list. The MLB Commissioner (or the Commissioner's designate) must approve all MLB Injured List assignments. A "Standard Form of Diagnosis" signed by the club physician must accompany a request to place a player on an MLB Injured List, and a "Standard Form of Diagnosis for Recertification" signed by the club physician must be filed with the MLB Commissioner every ten days for players on the MLB 10-day Injured List and after seven days for players on the MLB 7-day Injured List. NOTE: A Standard Form of Recertification is NOT required once a player has been placed on or transferred to a club's MLB 60-day Injured List, and a Standard Form of Diagnosis is not required to place a minor league player on a minor league Injured List and a Standard Form of Recertification is not required once a minor league player has been placed on a minor league Injured List. End Quote
  5. the relievers with options are the ones pitching well...
  6. he’s healed unbelievably fast, there is a chance he aggravates his injury during rehab. Agreed, I’d send Willians down when Garver is ready.
  7. agreed, not sure how he can work through that funk currently
  8. the starting pitching has been good enough that the bullpen isn’t getting enough work. May doesn’t have options, but something isn’t right. He needs a restart.
  9. mmm bacon.... I’m allergic to pineapple. Not the little baby itchy either... full blown choke to death on my tongue, jab myself with the epipen and pray to make it to the ER in time allergic. So bacon weave of horrible agonizing death sounds kinda tempting, if I’m standing in the parking lot of the ER, I might think about it.
  10. no poultry cooking on game day? What about beef or pork? Can I smoke a rack of ribs? Or should we all go vegan from April to November just in case?
  11. it has been pouring on the far western part of Wi/exurban TC metro, but is currently slowing a bit. Radar predicts rain should be done around 6. My guess is the field might need to dry a bit, first pitch 6:30 ish.
  12. Adams was DFA’d and claimed by the Tigers. He’s out of options. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2019/05/26/austin-adams-detroit-tigers/1246143001/ ninja’d
  13. Kurkijan almost gushed. Recent history ESPN would gloss-over the worst team in baseball over the last decade. Why wouldn’t they? Everyone loves a feel good story.
  14. The bullpen will get tested during the season, but nothing like the post season. I don’t think you need the test to know that you don’t have enough bullpen for October/November. At least one more high end reliever ASAP and then see what you got heading into late July.
  15. I don’t disagree that the Twins are better in 2019, than 2018. I disagree with the premise that it’s because they don’t have to pay his salary. There is no salary cap.
  16. I agree and prefer the same approach. I can’t stand giving Souhan articles clicks. However, I felt like I should be educated before I called Souhan a hack. I have actually read this one, and it confirmed my assumptions. Souhan is a lazy troll.
  17. indeed, depicted above. It’s still going... we just got the lineups for last night’s game.
  18. 1 - quality start statistic should be eliminated. The Brewers has a contract with a pitcher, I can’t remember which (maybe Josh Tomlin) that was more incentive than salary, and the incentives weighted 3 inning appearances or longer as 3 and shorter than 3 innings as 1. Then received bonuses based on points achieved, in quarter million increments. This kind of thought process combined with WPA or similar weight based on leverage is what should be used to measure pitcher value. 2 - I sure hope so.... it wouldn’t surprise me. My assumption is they would have really sold off in the off season if they thought they had competition for the central. 3 - they do have pieces to trade away, Ehire Adrianza isn’t one of them that will be in a package to substantially improve the bullpen. Best case with him is DFA and trade for a flyer. Not sure why you’d do that and hamstring yourself for the other 80 games. They definitely need to improve the bullpen, and would do well to improve the rotation for a few years. Prospects are the currency of trades. I’d like to see them make a trade similar to the Yankees deal for Paxton.
  19. channeling my inner RB... most importantly, make sure in AAA he plays every day in multiple positions, especially SS. Let him know he’ll be called back soon, and will be called upon again to be a positionally flexible player.
  20. Gordon is still young with value to boot! Imagine if he can get his bat figured out in AAA. No such thing as too many short stops/middle infielders
