    The DFA'd DanSan who clearly was claimed. Getting anything not on the 40 man is better than nothing
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    judging by today's results he may have been rushed a tad
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    if the FO had done that, there'd be Duffey to push Blanton down the pecking order. Then we wouldn't have to watch Belisle...

    Louie Opatz has some good analysis of the situation w/ Joe http://www.twinkietown.com/2017/5/5/15540728/what-exactly-is-joe-mauer-up-to-contact-babip-strikeouts-walks-minnesota-twins-mlb

    Breslow isn't "bad" he's just barely pitched. Seems like there's only enough room for one lefty and Rogers is clearly better.
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    so Melo comes up? Ruc... guy goes down for Berrios, Tepesch to long relief? Or Breslow gets DFAd keep Ruc and Tepesch for long guys. These short starts are tough on the BP....
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    kinda refreshing huh?
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    feeling vindicated? Waiting for the "10 days rest" stuff?
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    Terrible fishing pun. For shame....
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    by all accounts a fantastic guy. In his public statements I have always appreciated his point of view and frequent candor, as well as his apparent ability to analyze situations/data. While I'm management in my career, I think Perk has done really great job speaking up for the players association and what he felt at the time was a bum deal... yet when the reconciliation came, he moved forward with what he and the team thought was best. He had a great stretch of years and it would be awesome if he could get close to them again soon. But I doubt it. I hope I'm wrong. Best of luck to Perkins in his continued rehab and whatever comes next.

    that is some damn fine analytics Dave. How can I argue the McDonalds scale?
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    this. While I disagree w/ the FO, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, just to see how this shakes loose at some point in the near future.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    lets see what he does with Saturday first. I mean you could be right... odds are not good that he sticks but with this pitching staff and new management anything could happen
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    agree he pitched poorly for the Twins, but value is relative. The opening day starter does indicate some level of value to the Angels.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Nolasco did start their opener
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    i was a nay-sayer, and I happily stand corrected.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    who? Last off season the indication was many of the impending 2018 free agents would be extended, but I lost track of the details Do we have indications of whether they will actually become free agents?
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    hes outperformed his FIP by a full run since 2012. Sure he's due for a bad stretch as he's never before below 3.5 ERA but what better options do the Twins have? Throwing money at FAs doesn't make them better players. What impending FAs should the Twins go after this offseason? How much Scrooge McDuck money should be thrown around? Should they sign two or three Vaults full of money? How do they develop the next Berrios/Mejia? I'm not certain there's any above high A right now. Do I love Santiago? No he's league average... but that's better than Hughes or Gibson. Realistically I don't see more than one free agent pitcher from outside the org signed this offseason and they need 9-10 close to ml ready pitchers available throughout the season
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    i would be very supportive of a trade of Santiago at the deadline or a 1-2 year extension. This team has 1-2 players in house ready to replace 4 pitchers, meaning Santana is a lock and pretty much no one else is. You can't turn your rotation and minor league depth over like that.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    i would send him to AAA for the in case of emergency break glass situation. No depth ready right now behind Berrios and Mejia and it's not like you can wreck the guy by disrupting his development plan
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    i struggled w/ the chop too
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    no kidding... With the increase in HBP, maybe plunking a batsman should be two bases instead of one. I mean if f the penalty of giving up another base isn't enough to deter this sort of thing, maybe 2 bases or a run would do it.

    Bayport is outside of the metro, kind of an exurb, but the BBQ is good and they do several styles. It's the best around IMO, however in the context of great BBQ regions, MN ain't one of them. I have heard with sincerity "Uffda! that's some spicy Ketchup" It's an odd place tho, not swanky by any means. http://www.foodnetwork.com/restaurants/mn/bayport/bayport-bbq-restaurant Regionally Famous Daves is the place, but I'm not a fan. In the metro I like Dixies, but it's a bit sweet for my taste. Revival has BBQ on the menu and it's good but it's more of a soul food place than a BBQ place.

    Springsteen's early work was/is amazing and I agree he's at his best in the stripped down setting. I love Nebraska, fantastic album. The Rising has grown on me in the context of post World Trade Center America.
