    At least the good news is Joe Mauer is now on pace to finish with more than 300 RBI
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Did Kepler also leave due to heat? Sounds like it was a fun game, but man I wish this team was better.

    Stay stretched out, be in shape, and drink plenty of water the night before, even if it means a couple extra trips to the john during the night. /mansplaining

    Is Tyler Wells close to a promotion to AA?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I didn't see the inning, so no opinion. In general I am the opposite. Would rather see a starter clean up his own mess.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Does anyone have any opinion on whether Lynn should have stayed in in the 6th?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ah, I think I see where you are coming from now. (Maybe because I didn't choose to read the Souhan column.) No, Joe does not need to sign a small contract to earn back good will from people who have it out for him. No. I just think he will sign a small contract anyway. But no he doesn't "need" to do that to "make things right" with his current contract. I think you said that but the point got lost somehow.

    I have never once begrudged Mauer for his big contract. (maybe someone can comb through every thread, just to be sure.) However, if he comes back for 2019, I peg his salary at about 5 or 6 million, which of course would be a small discount on his expected war for 2019. I think there's a place for him on the team. If his side inexplicably demands multiple years or double figure millions, I'm not sure how long I negotiate, if I'm the front office.

    search up "baseball card vandals" and you get some really creative stuff (and some pretty childish stuff) but it's definitely worth a look.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yep, I don't think the Hunter contract is the benchmark for this. Joe is one of a kind. He has the money. He either wants to play next year, or doesn't, and if he does want to play I'm not sure why he would drive a hard negotiation.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That's a reasonable opinion. Mauer can still contribute.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't see a problem with Mauer agreeing to $5 million per year or so, one year at a time.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What about his stance? How does he look? What is he actually doing? I think they are looking at more than box score stats.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What's Buxton actually doing? Has he run the bases at all? They said they were asking him to change his approach.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great stuff
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The only issue I see is those teams buying proven starting pitching will not be the same teams selling proven relievers. So creativity will be needed.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Our only hope is to out-pitch those guys
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Motter showed a strong arm in right. Joe wearing his baggy shirt on that second HBP was huge.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Glad for the Twins Lynn is finally pitching better. Missing spring training, he had to play a lot of catch up.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The movie was as good as the book, but the book was excellent. I think a lot of the suggestions being offered are solutions in search of a problem. What the commissioner wants is more offense and quicker paced games. Those two things seem to be at odds with each other. The game could use an impartial commissioner again who represents players and fans. The desire to expand seems like a horrible idea for the game, though great for the owners.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Really disappointing response by Molitor. "Had a chance to hold a lead, I get all that, but gotta have more offense." Well, 2-1 games are worth winning, too. Just my opinion. If he wants 7-10 runs every night he should quit and join a softball league. Sorry about the negativity.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Garver took a wicked foul ball directly into the knee in Saturday's game, so I endorse the rest. The game was tied at the point you mention, with the possibility of Garver playing extra innings. Plus, he's not hitting anyway. Plus, Doze and Eddie were due up in the 9th!
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Firing the hitting coach worked! When can we fire the next one?
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    When Buxton didn't attempt to steal off Hader in the Milwaukee game, it was understandable as that guy is a hard throwing lefty. Last night Buxton should have taken off. First pitch. Heck, first move. Buxton is fast enough, Herrera is a righty, not sure if he is good at holding runners, but the combination of a RHP, inexperienced first baseman, and Buxton's speed, he might have had a good chance to steal second even if Herrera's move is a pickoff attempt. Missed opportunity that probably wins the game if he makes it to second by simply makig the attempt.

    Also, it seems like the bullpen coach should be as data-driven as the rest of the coaches.
