  1. Get it all out of your system, fellas
  2. I remember Verlander had a great reaction when they traded for Cole. Oh, also, Verlander is ok too
  3. ok smart guy, made up your mind yet?
  4. Perhaps this is when “bunt into the shift!” becomes deadly serious strategy. ... or, not quite that, but at least something to break the no-hitter
  5. Magill is back! Waaaaaaaaaay back!!!
  6. How can there be two outs in this inning already. I haven’t even ____ my _______ yet.
  7. Well let’s be glad Springer wasn’t in the lineup last night...
  8. If the Twins keep winning, they will more than make up for the attendance deficit later this summer. ...also where did spring go
  9. Completely Agree! Not disputing the models, just trying to tweak some noses. It’s a long season. A lot will change between now and then. Great to be a fan right now.
  10. That 1.000 OPS might be good, but is it good enough to crack the Twins lineup??
  11. Sleeper agent—anyone coulda known that
  12. Even the most reactionary, knee-jerk fan, has nothing on these stats services. "Oh, suddenly the Twins are good?" edit: not an anti-538 post
  13. Hard to disagree—the pitching staff is one injury away from looking pretty shabby, regardless of how well they are game planning. Trades have already been made since the start of the season.
  14. Game 1 starter goes in Game 4, like all the other Twins World Series
  15. 90 win lineup, 80 win starting rotation, 70 win bullpen. I agree with Vanimal— this nice start should be enough to convince the front office that getting more pitching would make a difference.
  16. Catchers. Straw man not intended. Even among catchers, however, the data doesn’t really support him being near mid-point or average, at least as I interpret it. Here is the list, sorted for 500 PAs and OPS since 2017. Castro rings in about 28 out of 40, and glancing up the list you might be reminded there are a lot of good hitting catchers in the league. However, I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind because I think he’s the right guy for the right moment and he’s off to a good start in 2019, and the team is winning. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=500&type=1&season=2019&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=10,d
  17. Astudillo to the Injured List, unfortunately. But maybe this is an opportunity to see a new guy make his debut. I can’t imagine they carry 14 pitchers (are they at 13?)
  18. Bailey Ober was my Adopt-a-Prospect selection for 2018. Wish I had stuck with it!!
  19. If we are going to argue that the Houston series skewed his fielding/defense numbers, then we can also argue that the Houston series inflated his offensive numbers. In any case, good article. My beef with Castro was never so much about Castro, than it was with other people claiming Castro was a league average hitter. Castro is good behind the plate and anything he gives us at the plate in 2019 is a bonus.
  20. Is it time to start wondering about these pitching misses? Then again, I though Erv might still have something in the tank, so, nope!
  21. Apparently he called Anita Hill recently. For who knows what reason. I’m starting to go a little negative, so I will bow out for a while here.
  22. Deleted - they got a lineman. It’s a start.
  23. You can DM me those words and I’ll share the sanitized version.
  24. If Biden somehow survives the primary... I don’t know if Biden has enough appeal (nor should he) among persons of color or hard left progressives to win the general. Whether he could win over enough actual Republican voters who are disaffected with Trump, we might or might not find out.
