  1. On to something. Next question?
  2. Mejia was just optioned. Who's the call up? Pat Light? ByungHo Park? are my guesses Might be fun to see ABWIII, too. He can't be much worse in a corner than what we're rolling with now, and it would be nice to take a look.
  3. Last out flip the lights, thanks
  4. I remember that like it was ..yesterday
  5. I'm almost glad in not seeing this. Sounds like everyone on the field is falling asleep.
  6. Radio now, but I am also just sleep-posting at this point.
  7. he must have logged off yesterday
  8. notice how I did not attempt the spelling
  9. Maybe the Twins score and we see Shaggy get his first save?
  10. If the Royals need Butera to pitch, who catches?
  11. I have always loved games like this. Only baseball.
  12. True. Not only that, he did not play above A+ until this season. He has thrown out 50% of base runners between AA-AAA this season. He will be 26 next spring. Would you be opposed to adding him to the roster this September and showing him the big leagues?
  13. Why do people think Garver is still young?
  14. By 50/50 do you mean either it will or it won't? If so, there is also a 50/50 chance that I will win the lottery this weekend.
  15. Sorry, but I am less and less impressed with Plouffe as a piece moving forward. He's just not that good and he doesn't appear to be getting better with age. Keeping Plouffe at third base pushes Sano to DH, but the plan is to get Mauer more of that DH time. This extra DH time might be what is accounting for Mauer's mini-offensive resurgence. Defensive stats are not perfect, and in a few years StatCast data will make Fangraphs data look primitive, but Fangraphs shows Sano to have really good range. Sano is 6.8 runs above average as measured by RngR, which is second best in the majors. Plouffe is 6.6 runs below average in this stat, which is near the bottom. Plouffe was also in the bottom quartile of third basemen in this stat last year. Plouffe has better hands than Sano, but won't get to nearly the number of balls Sano gets to. Is that a trade off you would accept? http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=3b&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=200&type=1&season=2016&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=21,d&page=1_30 If we attribute Plouffe's poor fielding this season to injury, then why can't we attribute everybody's poor fielding to injury? Also, what about the other infielders? Just some thoughts.
  16. Crows are intelligent and recognize human faces. FYI.
  17. This is just the Twins padding their stats at this point
  18. Step away and come back to three insurance runs!
  19. LOL tho I can half defend* Gibby staying in the game for the bottom of the sixth. You only have so many players and it's still early. *Emphasis on half
  20. I guess if Eric Gregg says it's a strike, it's a strike.
  21. That's 29 foul bunts tonight --- who lay down the lucky 30th!
