    Ha, that looks so much like one of those sentences where all the letters were rearranged to make something new, so I rearranged the letters back to their original order: A man was a usher. Is that what you meant?
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I was thinking January-type meltdown, but yours would work too
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    To prepare us for the inevitable Vikings meltdown?
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Or, because this could be Mauer's swan song?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    because it's late September, and it's sad to think there won't be good Twins baseball again until next Spring spring of 2020 at the earliest?

    If that's the case, Zeno's Paradox says we will never catch them, ever. http://www.infonia.ne.jp/~l-cosmos/en/relativity/4DimPhilosophy/contents/figuresEn/fourDim2_1_1.jpg

    Well, what if I told you they could shrink that deficit in half with one swing of the bat?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes, I assumed Polanco made a lazy play. Maybe he just took his eye off the ball.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, a lazy Polanco play and three Mauer strikeouts is about all I can handle. g’night, all!
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Berrios, Gibson, then it starts to kinda tail off...
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    My goal for the rest of the season is to keep Berrios ERA under 4.00 Because I think it would just look nicer. And to see Mauer play a few more times because I think he’s retiring. That’s about it.

    There are no Senate moderates. That is a media fiction perpetuated for who knows what reasons. I don’t blame the public for believing it, because honestly most people have more important things to do than get in the weeds on this stuff. Normal hobbies, caring for families, sports, whatever. But at this point, wouldn't a true moderate step back and think, “ya know, maybe we don’t actually need an immature, woman-ogling, dice playing 50-year-old frat boy who never grew up to be a Supreme Court justice, even if he does have a law degree?” Because that’s kind of who this guy is. I mean, think about it. An actual moderate doesn’t wait to see how this “plays out” or try to consider both sides.

    Another hypothetical question that the front office did not ask last offseason was "If all the free agents we sign are on one-year deals, what would happen?"
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I thought he looked passable last season, and at times pretty good, but if the numbers say he was near at the bottom I won't disagree with that.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Expiring deals (off top of my head): Gibson, Odorizzi, Pineda, eSan, Castro, Reed. Biggest need? Why, another Primary of course; they can't go into 2019 with just Kohl Stewart as the only primary. J/k I'm guessing they decline Ervin and Morrison's option and just roll into 2019 with a league low payroll (certainly bottom 5) and a lot of playing time for youngsters and reclamation projects, along with some more analytic experimentation in mind. Given where they are at this moment, it wouldn't be the worst plan. As someone said, there's just too much to do now. Polanco took a big step backward, Mauer will retire, and aside from Sano and Austin, who are basically part timers in my opinion, the team pretty much needs a whole new infield. Not to mention another middle of the order bat, not to mention getting Buxton straightened out, and most importantly, needing to fill out half of a pitching staff that has no closer or no ace. The front office will trade some guys at the deadline again next year, scratch out another 70-some wins with smoke and mirrors, and the media will heap praise upon them, given their constraints as a small market franchise trying to compete in a division that has a good team like Cleveland in it... but call me an optimist.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes, people "complained"...or at least wondered how the moves made sense. Just an odd, forgettable offseason, not much happening until a flurry of short term signings at the end, but, trust the process, I guess.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So, can it be both?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I agree, and by the way I think this is just as true for baseball and NHL.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There was also the incident a few years ago when the Nationals hired Bud Black to be manager, then inexplicably low-balled him in the salary negotiation, so much so that Black withdrew.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think the team took the trade of Escobar pretty hard. I think that could affect their play, absolutely. The edge is gone. Maybe next spring can be a new start. Until Escobar and Pressly were traded that night, I thought the team had the same "team" quality that they had in 2017, and sure, I thought they were good, people can disagree, but I did not think they were on the level of the best teams. Lots of posters here gave up on the team in 2017, too, and I disagreed then as well.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The front office pulled the plug. There's nothing inconsistent here, unless you're of the type who believes players are mere emotionless stat producers (and you are of that type). But, players are humans and Escobar/Dozier were key players--and yes Dozier has fallen off a cliff. Then Rodney was traded, and Buxton was sent home. It was a good team from 2017 to mid-2018. Now it's a complete mess.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    As I think about it, you are probably right. As long as Astudillo remains a part time player, opponents probably won't spend much time dissecting his swing, and he can hobble along as an all-contact utility guy that way. Although I note that he has no doubles and one very unusual triple, so, singles hitter who doesn't walk, with a couple nice dingers mixed in. But I think his contact skill and defensive versatility has value, and despite the jokes has ok baserunning speed, if statcast is to be believed. Don't know what his exit velo is or projects to be.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If you are just looking at his baseball card stats and his position versatility, there's no reason not to want this guy to come back next year. I would like to see him take a walk, however, or at least know what an Astudillo base on balls looks like, or I fear his numbers will plummet with opponents getting better information about him.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    and 40 nights ?
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins won that trade big time
