    man that’s dark
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m putting my kids down to bed and can’t listen. Game day makes Thorton look like he has no idea where the pitch is going. How’s it look on TV?
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think you are on the right track, but first I want to see how/if Magill, Moya and Reed recover from injuries and take a look at Romero and Gonsalves too.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great intro!
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    With Marwin on the roster, Cave is expendable. With Big Toe in AAA, Adrianza is expendable. Considering all of the uncertainties, hold on to everyone as long as you can. Injury or ineffectiveness will sort this out. I believe the first crack to show up will be 13th pitcher before Sano is ready to return. At that point option Cave before DFAing Adrianza.

    i don’t either, but I’m not sure the question is framed accurately. How many of his injuries have been as a result of failure to make adjustments that reduce his impact on the wall? My recollection of last year was fouling a ball off his toe was the injury, but coming back too soon was what lost the season for him. He’s lost time to migraine and back injury that we could guess came from wall collision, but will never know.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    Buxton on the IL makes him what? About as valuable to the team as I am, I suppose.
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    Is this it? I do not subscribe to the athletic, but I probably should.., https://theathletic.com/454771/2018/08/02/jackie-bradley-jr-ranks-the-10-best-catches-of-his-career/
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    who’s ready to take his spot?
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    13 games in a row, he’s gotta be managing the bullpen for a rough stretch
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    he would get claimed, wouldn’t he?
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Good outings by Harper and Perez, blown!
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    2016 feel like ancient history?
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’ve had truly bad meals, I didn’t need one of those to truly know a great meal compared to a good one.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Twins badly needed Perez to have a good long outing and got it from him.
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    not true in the least.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think Perez gets by with smoke and mirrors all the time...until he gets clobbered
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    likewise with Mejia who hasn’t pitched in over a week.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    but you knocked on wood? If his health wasn’t always a concern would you knock?
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    well put! he’s clearly a student of base stealing. I’d love to see the same thoughtful aggression in the field.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Good to see Pineda go 6. The bullpen needed that badly.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    only a few players per season play more than 140. I’d be thrilled if we got 140 games of Buxton playing his best.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    In a not so revealing interview with MLB.com, Buxton tells the interviewer “I’m going to be me” 146 times including the excerpt below. “MLB.com: Speaking of laying off the wall: I’ve seen you get hurt because you hit the wall so many times. Have you thought about laying off the wall? Buxton: There is no point in it. If you are going to come out here and you want to win, you do what you have to do to help your team win. You have but one life. I’m going to make the most of it while I can.” https://www.mlb.com/news/byron-buxton-more-confident-comfortable-in-2019 While we’ve seen a more effective hitter by this new approach, the health is status quo. Will Buxton ever “stay healthy” with this approach? When he’s on the field, he’s game changing, but he’s such a part time player. I really wanted Bill Larson to point blank ask (never gonna happen) him if he’s willing to do what it takes to stay on the field. He hurts himself and the team by getting injured. He needs to stay healthy. Is this the defining season for Buxton? Will he figure it out, despite what he says?

    I was wondering why the top inch of the snow had a brown hue. I just assumed it was smog...
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    average was 5.4 innings per start. Twins were 5.1 innings per start good for 26th place. The season is young, things can absolutely change, but we have yet to see the Twins 5th starter, or 6-8. Currently at 5 innings per start but average is 5.2 presumably because the Twins aren’t the only team getting short starts coming out of spring training.
