Nice of you to spare Dick Bremer and Roy Smalley, though! I would also get rid of the BUNT placard hanging above the doorway in the clubhouse that the players all tap on their way out to the field before every game, but that's just me.

Game Thread: Twins @ NY Yankees 6/25 12:05 PM CT
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Vanimal46's topic in Archived Game Threads
Wait, was that a grizzly bear, or German Shepherd? -
I completely agree this topic has been beaten to death (hate that metaphor, but whatever). I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't let it go yet. A team doesn't get to 23-50 on one bad decision. It takes consistenly poor decision making to get this bad. The overall handling of Arcia's career and his inevitable release qualifies as bad decision making, in my opinion. And at this moment, the Twins are in most need of a DH to spell Park. Doesn't matter this year, I realize. Arcia's bat and definitely his glove can be replaced. But I enjoyed seeing a player with passion and confidence on this team as much as anything he did on the field. Oh well.

And Danny Santana can usually tear up Rochester
-
A lot of hyperbole gets thrown around but in this case it's not. Fangraphs is brutal to Danny Santana. A guy charged with 35 errors last season (Semien) was rated higher. Usually Arcia will only appear somewhere in the middle of the bottom quartile of OF fielding stats (which is where Grossman appears), and not last or second to last. For all of Arcia's strikeouts this season, he still outperformed Santana by a good ways in the metrics that correlate to actual run scoring. I know it's not polite to pile on players and I don't know if Santana knows this about himself, but I have to believe it's been communicated to Molitor and Ryan. I agree Santana's speed is an asset and he can spell Buxton in center just fine. I don't know how I feel about the possibility of Santana as a bench player and pinch runner on next season's team, however.

I see a 23-year old already in his third MLB season, a 26-year old who skipped AAA entirely, an ex-Twin, and another ex-Twin. But I have nothing snarky to say about Daniel Murphy, so, Twins win.

How much in British sterling? (Sorry everyone. Too soon?)

As a matter of fact....

Those don't count tonight, unfortunately.

Park vs Chapman
-
Chapman is coming in. I hope Chief answers quickly. ALTHOUGH I believe Esco and Axe guy are due up
-

Please do not edit this autocorrect

Jepsen a 1-2-3 seventh! Oh wait, that was Pressly j/k I knew it was Pressly all along
-
If we leave Park on the roster all year, he will still have options through 2019.
-
broken luck
-
He rents from Meyer
-
When do the MLB automated laser strike zones go online?
-
Provus is fantastic
-
The axe man lines a double to left Can't that guy hit dingers anymore? Sheesh
-
ashburyjohn saw Grossman playing live and said runners took liberties on his arm all night By the way ashburyjohn must have got banned from earlier? Just wondering where he went
-
and when that day comes, I promise I will not disappoint
-
Uff da Umpire has suddenly begun squeezing the strike zone against Milone, while Escobar failed to squeeze his glove when a ground ball entered it.
-
It's all about blaming the players in Twins TerritoryTM Now back to our regularly scheduled game thread
