    no surprise, they just traded away their second best player after 4 wins in a row.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The front office appears to have pulled a 180-degree reversal. Not too many days ago we were led to believe that there was no timetable, and Sano's own actions and performance would dictate when he was ready to return, because it was too important not to get this right. But this call up coincides with simply needing an infielder.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You mean, like, trading away good players when it appeared they were out of the race?
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    exciting games in August?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I do not share that assessment of Eduardo Escobar. I also doubt Severino is a good comp to the guys Arizona unloaded on us.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We could also ask them to quit selling top players at trade deadlines! twice in two years
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This "awful huffiness" was mostly a product of Levine's storytelling abilities, about how serious the Twins were about pursuing Ohtani and Darvish. Maybe fans should be more critical of what the front office tells them?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's always just a couple years down the road.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bravo to Molitor letting it ride with Gibson. No one would have batted an eye if Gibby had been pulled after seven, or even the sixth.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah that was an unnecessary risk by Rosario in the sixth. You can see what he was thinking but it took him too long to pop up from his slide and he was out by a good amount, even with the poor throw.

    My impression is that Garver caught about 2/3 of the time after Castro went down, but has only caught 50/50 since the start of July, and this additional rest has allowed him to refresh and cut down on the glaring mistakes. So I am ok with Garver continuing to get no more than half the games behind the dish for now.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Absolutely! Give me the guy trying to make a play--he's made several already.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ervin needs a 40 man spot, and Provus and Gladden said something today to the effect, "we all know who is being released to make room." Of course they didn't drop any hints. So, we'll see.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    How about, Escobar for Escobar! Seriously though, receiving another Escobar type would be a great return. I have some doubts on the likelihood of that, but we'll see.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok, sell, but what are people hoping for? Honest question. Another Tyler Watson type? Bonus money we will not spend? (I'm sure Watson is a terrific guy.) I think my position is pretty close to chief's. Though I understand he will probably be traded, I think I would rather watch Dozier the whole year, let him have a curtain call late in September (heck I might even attend such a game in person to applaud him) than have him shipped off suddenly on the 31st.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    On the other hand, they signed Bartolo Colon in July and rode him to the end. Tim Melville got a start on August 21st.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Got it! My bad for not reading the whole thread. But Dozier can be so up-and-down it's hard not to argue Escobar's "consistency" would be a factor.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I strongly disagree. Many (most?) players ebb and flow over the course of a season. So unless you can hold up some other valuable players who bat right at their league average for most of the season, I will not agree that Escobar's unequal halfs are much worth noting. Also, Escobar has positional flexibility. Maybe most importantly, he is a positive influence in the clubhouse. I think "chemistry" and "leadership" can be overrated, but it can't be dismissed, and Escobar brings it in spades. Dozier and Escobar are probably my favorite players however I understand changes need to be made to move forward. Of the two, I'd keep Escobar.

  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good to know. I was curious if his hits were line drives or ground balls, if he is swinging out of the zone, etc., but this is helpful too.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Does anyone have any information about Buxton?
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn't say overblown, I'd say he deserves his equal share of credit for turning this season to junk. Early on, and now again he is taking the stage. He is pulling his weight.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Also posted this in the game thread: In the classic save situation of a one-run lead to start the ninth, Rodney is now only 1 out of 4 in converting those to wins.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    True. I get it. Minnesota fans remember Korey Stringer. I just wonder if players feel invincible and fail to take the precautions seriously. This is where teammates have to watch each other's backs when away from the park.
