  1. No, that was 2001 and Ichiro. “Shakes Head”
  2. I was not aware. I gave it a Like, but it calls more for a “Shakes Head” button.
  3. 1-1 after 1 At this rate, this game will never end!
  4. Better yet, don’t let him establish himself, and just spring him on the unsuspecting foes. “Nope, we don’t know what this kid has, either. Only that he throws 102 if he wants. Good luck, Yankee batters!”
  5. These bottom feeders... not quite preparing the Twins for the postseason. Though certainly guaranteeing we get there.
  6. Twins doing it again! Are these legit hits? MLB just says a bunch of singles.
  7. I respectfully disagree. If we watch games and keep in mind the fly balls normal outfielders don’t quite get to, and then replay the innings as if Buxton did get to those fly balls, the runs can add up in a hurry. Maybe not always, but much more often than you are giving credit, I would bet. I played this game with myself late last season. The Twins were playing Kansas City. Someone on the Royals, with two outs, hit a shallow fly ball to right center. Jake Cave was unable to reach it and it landed for a hit. The Royals went on to score 3 runs that inning. It’s unknown if Buxton would have reached that particular ball. Some in the game thread disagreed. But I think he would have. Catching that one batted ball would have ended the inning and saved the next three runs. You could argue just that single hit was worth 3 runs. That was just one instance. Sure, a hit is a hit, and just one baserunner, but I think you are underestimating the value of recording an out and getting to the end of an inning sooner. I’d be happy to open a separate thread and track this with you for this Detroit series, if you like!
  8. I combined “Treated by Indianapolis Colts trainers, 10-1” into a parlay, with “Buxton announces retirement right before American League Division Series, 2500-1”. Wish me luck! (haha). I will think fondly of you all in my retirement!
  9. Write it down and stuff it in the box!
  10. That was a great play in the third. Sano batting, steps out of the box and tries to call time out, time out not granted, pitch comes, Sano steps back in and laces it to the shortstop who boots it, Sano winds up on second base with an RBI.
  11. On the other hand, if that’s the guy you want and he wasn’t expected to be available at your next pick, then there’s a case to just take him regardless if it’s at 13th instead of hoping he makes it back around.
  12. Why, that’s the electronic version of Illinois, of course
  13. Sano’s RBI fielder’s choice could loom large tonight!
  14. jinx schminx—I’m swingin’ away with this team
  15. Its gotta be demoralizing to be rooting for the Cleveland Indians. The Twins never lose. (Never seem to lose when Cleveland wins, anyway.)
  16. The trick is... throwing it to him on a bounce?
  17. C’mon Garv. Hang in there on that high pitch.
  18. C’mon Odo. Roll one now. You can get out of this.
  19. Looks like a line drive in the box score, baby!
  20. We’re a simple crowd. There needs to be a belly laugh. Or at least a guffaw.
  21. When you’re done getting off Chief’s lawn... then GET OFF MY LAWN next!!!
