  1. hey did you post that before he struck out? No cheating!
  2. And lest people think this is a funny internet meme, this did happen to ol' Hosken once
  3. On the second part, you could be right. If Molly is going to be the public voice of the team he's going to get a big say on the roster, however. I guess what is unknown is exactly how much say he has. We do know Molitor wanted Tepesch to make the team in spring over Tonkin and Haley.
  4. Molitor is blowing smoke out of his ass. He doesn't watch Berrios's starts. He doesn't have time.
  5. Matt Joyce accidentally catches a Kepler liner
  6. Pitching around Kepler to pitch to Sano with the sacks juiced?
  7. Doze stayed in the game--that fires me up.
  8. Good call --that is the "look-at-the-guy-across-from-you-until-he-is-a-blur" ride
  9. Not a fan of the bunt there, but whatever. Buck made his money tonight.
  10. I feel like I'm watching the 2017 Twins play the 2014 Twins tonight. (At least the 2017 Twins are winning)
  11. Who is thunder and who is lightening? Is this a Penn and Teller type of situation?
  12. That was a fantastic defensive play by Mauer, and by Santiago for following the play and being at the bag.
  13. Minor league stats are the worst possible way to evaluate a minor leaguer, except for all the other ways. (paraphrasing Churchill's democracy quote)
  14. If so they should trade him immediately before other teams catch on to it. IMO of course
  15. Chris Gimenez at first base, anticipating a throw from Sano: http://orig15.deviantart.net/a18e/f/2006/365/7/8/cowering_like_a_submisive_cat_by_neetrith.jpg
  16. Oh wait Tonkin just got a strikeout. That quote is fake news.
  17. "A one thousand mile journey begins with a single step." - Oakland A's, May 2, 2017
  18. Interesting comparison between Buxton and Hicks. Like Buxton's last 20 Plate Appearances, Hicks did have a roughly 20 PA stretch with 7-8 BB, depending on how you count the partial games. However it was very early in Hicksies rookie season, 2013. Hicks had 2100 professional PA to that point while Buxton had 1900 professional PA to that point, though 500 of those were in MLB (these are estimates). Hicks was also hitting much worse at the time his "walk streak" started, hard as it is to believe. So then the next 20 PA for Hicks following that streak, and a similar day off: 4-16, 0 BB, 4 K. Sometime after, Hicks went on a little strikeout binge, though he gets a break since he was just a rookie. However reports were that Hicks was somewhat aloof and not engaged, unlike Buxton.
  19. Has anyone adopted Tyler Wells? Stitches guy? If not I will adopt him and get a thread going.
  20. I have been watching Cedar Rapids game logs but haven't seen them play yet. Based only on that, I would rate Beeker just a tiny sliver ahead of Poppen. Not sure why. Just a gut feeling or to be argumentative, I guess. Can't argue with the results either of them are getting.
