  1. It appears the Twins are viewing Eduardo Escobar's 2014 season as a fluke, and Danny Santana's 2014 season as not a fluke. Or maybe Escobar gets bench because he misses a sign occasionally, or does some other little thing that the coaches don't appreciate, and Santana gets the start because he tries hard and needs the repetitions. Not sure what's going on.
  2. You said it. Arcia could be a catalyst if given a fair chance. Arcia can make a bad play in the outfield but you could use a defensive substitute for him in the late innings when necessary. We've also seen him make good plays. Also, he doesn't air mail balls to the infield any more often than Torii still does (at age 39).
  3. I still wonder if the Twins even consider catcher a weakness. The starting pitching is so vastly improved and I think the Twins are happy to give Suzuki much of the credit for that, because of his off field work and rapport he supposedly has with the staff. I would love it if they traded for one of those guys above.
  4. Who got the last laugh in that trade? Not the Twins, unfortunately.
  5. Probably zooming in on the data would give a better picture. But, pinch hitters can make an impact. I would have left out the NL too if I had looked this up myself. Different rules and not teams we are competing against. You'd like to think the Twins would be somewhere in the middle of something like this, not dead last and not even within shouting distance of next to last.
  6. Wow Great job looking this up. To borrow a trademarked phrase: Mind boggling. The Twins have so much to hold their heads high about, and then there's stuff like this.
  7. somebody logging into propeller head dot come and going directly to check Santana's FB:GB ratio might never guess the Twins are winning EDIT: not intended as a dig at Sabermetrics
  8. The late night west coast jokes. Been waiting for these
  9. until the last pitch. Then, a hell of an AB by Sano. (as expected)
  10. I could be wrong, maybe the A's have shaved all their beards?
  11. Twins escape a jam in bottom 3rd Ervin Santana got Bigfoot to pop out to Plouffe with the bases loaded.
  12. If the Twins have a second half similar to their excellent 49-40 first half, they will.. finish 98-80.
  13. Yeah but do your bigfoot jokes have completely unexpected punchlines?
  14. Great story. I also wonder if that dropped fly ball in Texas got his attention more than a hundred closed door lectures ever could. And then going on DL and watching your eventual replacement play your position.
  15. Did they even mention or show a clip of Dozier's walk off? If not, huge disappointment.
  16. Great comment. Sano is already demonstrating that he has a very discriminating batting eye, so that comment should scare opposing pitchers. It doesn't feel like Sano is even a prospect anymore or should hit anywhere other than clean-up for any MLB team. You already know and expect he's going to contribute something in every game.
  17. Guys on the radio said Pelfrey was not throwing his split finger fastball out of fear of a wild pitch. Problem is, that's his best pitch.
  18. if he's really found that grip on his split finger, then I almost think yes. What do you think?
