    Thanks Riverbrian!

    If Nolasco becomes the first Twin to destroy a water cooler since the Hunter-Morneau-Mientkiewicz-Pierzynski days, he will be my new favorite player.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That would no doubt be unprofessional and frowned upon, but I agree.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Seth, what have you seen from Polanco that makes you believe he shouldn't be playing full time on the MLB team? And, is this his last option year?
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    two starting center fielders who bat leadoff...for a middle reliever. You'd think the Twins would give May a shot in the rotation for that alone.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good catching me on that. Maybe he doesn't have a documented history but that is certainly my impression of him from following ballgames since he got here. I want pitchers who want to take the ball, or take the post, as Ryan likes to say in interviews. I think the OP made a pretty strong case that this is a trend with Hughes and that it's on the Twins to determine how he can help us win games. Class Act for turning down the bonus. If sacrificing that 1/3 inning was part of the consideration for the Twins offering him that big extension, I'd say he came out ahead.

    I heard that Hughes told the coaches he was getting a little fatigued and that they should keep an eye on him. Getting fatigued after 6 innings and 70 pitches is worrisome no matter how you slice it. Maybe just one night, maybe not. He also has a history of not wanting to stay in games, which would be another concern.

    Even just 1 mph over, and you are busted
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe this is just groupthink. Plus, if Polanco can't stick at short, then why is he around at all. It will be the Plouffe/Sano situation all over again, since Dozier's got second locked up and Escobar and Nunez can also fill in there. Polanco can play short until the fans see that he can't--that's the position I'm taking Polanco had a half dozen chances tonight and did fine. One of them was a highlight reel play.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah I still have a few cases of those laying around, too
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I did say "arguably" I wasn't arguing it, but some people were (pretty convincingly). In fact, I was behind the move to the bullpen. This season is lost. It's time to stretch May back out for the rotation.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah there's a whole page of game thread comments wondering why Hughes was being taken out. But first guessing doesn't change the L to a W, unfortunately.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    May was arguably our best starter last summer, which was used as partial justification to move him into the pen so that Milone and Pelfrey could do their starting rotation thing. So yeah, it's time to move May back into the rotation.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    CBU Update: Touchdown, Lions
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Time to demote May back down into the rotation?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    CBU update: Aggies7 is posting
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yeah at this point, ride the luck train and leave Hughsie in
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm just glad its Santana who keeps getting hurt in the outfield, and not Sano EDIT: obviously nobody wants anybody to get hurt yada yada
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Six innings of zeros is nothing to scoff at, and line drive contact hasn't been as hazardous to the fielders the last couple innings. You may now gloat.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I liked the $200 question: "He was good in the clubhouse, but not so good when it came to giving an inspirational speech to his alma mater Wichita State in a 2014 spring training prank set up by his teammate Glen Perkins and his manager Ron Gardenhire."
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    SANO
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Are you watching the game? Hughes is getting rocked. All the line drives are landing in gloves.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    1-0
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    we are not there yet
