Other than a section of right field wall that will need some repair, we made through the inning unscathed.

He takes his hitting slumps into the field with him. That's rare for a big leaguer.

I wrongly predicted a Mike Zunino joke coming

I'm a big Sano bobo, but... uhg did I spell that right?

Sano is either very good, or downright awful. Guess which one tonight.

do you have a note? Note, or it didn't happen

Are the Twins doing scouting reports on the opponents anymore? Is Castro in a pitch calling slump?

I saw your prediction

Today being Flag Day in the U.S., I had prepared a thoughtful 55,000-word game thread introductory essay on the complex relationships between flags, baseball, and modern society that I wanted everyone to read and discuss. You woulda loved it, trust me. However, this four game series with Seattle has gone completely off the rails. The high scoring is more reminiscent of football than baseball, with Seattle and Minnesota trading 14-3 and 20-7 victories. It's good that these are blowouts, and not close games of the 10-9 variety, and I will leave it at that. Anyway, game thread reinforcements are needed. A new, fresher game thread arm is necessary. Therefore, I have decided to option the Flag Day essay back to the minors, and call up a new game thread intro to make its season debut tonight. Read on. Pitchers: Sam Gaviglio (2-1, 2.79) vs Ervin Santana (8-3, 2.20). Weather: baseball weather. Game time: 7:10 CDT. Lineups SEATTLE TBA MINNESOTA 1. Brian Dozier ® 2B 2. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 3.

Poppen has committed several throwing errors to first this season. Just "throwing" that out there; probably means nothing. (Except it's probably a mental thing he needs to fix.)

much, much worse http://www.nbtworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/RIP-1.jpg

This is absolutely a factor, too.

One of the pre-draft articles argued (paraphrasing here) that Rooker was playing a position based on team need, but that he is more than capable of playing the corner outfield positions. edit - thanks for th info

Of the talented players remaining that you do know, which ones would you like them to pick?

Ever hired anyone who wanted to work somewhere else? Your point is correct, I just don't have a problem with it. But the Twins wouldn't have passed on Greene if they felt Greene was that much superior to the other options.

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, but why did Rooker fall to 35 again?

And if through talking to Greene, the Twins felt that Greene's heart was set on San Diego, then passing on Greene is fine by me that way too.

I'm fine passing on McKay. An interesting study would be how two-way college players drafted high have fared over their careers when asked to give up one half of their game. Seems like too much of a risk at 1-1. Unless he can be signed for a discount maybe.

Both of you please stop monopolizing this thread.

the impression I got from comingste into the discussion was that there was no clear 1-1 Strasburg type to draft. And performance of college pitchers with mid-first round talent is spotty, even then.

Then on Day 2 of the draft, Falvey emerged from the war room to discover his current big league club is both in first place and having a pitching crisis of epic proportions.

Thanks; I see "commit" is not binding in this context. I am no good at speaking this stuff.

You are saying Leach is committed to Texas. That tells me that he is not going to sign, and the Twins wasted a draft pick, but that can't be right, either. Can you explain that better?
