    Maybe Polanco could be better than both Santana and even Escobar right away in 2016. Minor league stats of Twins current MI's: PA, BB%, OPS Polanco 2221, 8.5%, .752 Santana 2514, 5.2%, .718 Escobar 2734, 6.0%, .675 Dozier 1613, 9.5%, .779

    I agree Bernie staying in the race keeps Hillary on her game.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Possibly.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Meh, that's what politicians do, is sell hope. Of course there are a few first timers who still believe but reality will hit them eventually. Also if for whatever unlikely reason HRC bows out, or her emails to the Benghazi terrorists get published, then Bernie would probably stand as the successor. Very unlikely but not impossible.

    I was with you, if disagreeing, until the "load of bull" part. Candidates can stay in or out as long as they wish. Bush was drawing single digits. O'Malley was drawing single digits. Bernie just won a couple more states last night -- my, how those young first time college kids suddenly know how to organize in those states!
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Exactly. Or using the sports analogy, you play till the final whistle. I'm actually surprised how well Bernie has actually done. HRC needs to thank god she didn't face Warren. In hindsight, Warren would probably have won this.

    If he pitches well during the season, the bandwagon will be full!

    So, Nolasco used his one good start this year on a spring training game? Greeeaaaaaatttt
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great pic of Maddon! I agree, kick back and enjoy the show works for me.

    Wasn't Graham talked about as a starter this year in Rochester? I am assuming Tonkin is on his way out. Who do you think will be the first two 25-man cuts when Berrios and Burdi are called up?

    Parise doesn't want to hang around late and explain hockey to an opinion writer? Can't say I blame Parise. As for catchers not having a "grinders mentality," I have long argued the Twins shouldn't have let Mauer use a barca lounger behind the plate all those years.

    Great thread. I thought the wolves looked really competitive tonight, but just didn't get the bounces at the end. GSW now 63-7 which is ungodly.

    Currently reading up on the inverted W -- lots of pics and gifs. Here's an interview with a doctor who basically says every pitcher's UCL should break on every pitch.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't know why Duffey was chosen ahead of Berrios but I like Duffey. Credit the spin.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I agree. I think Berrios should have been up last August. But I seriously doubt the Twins are set on gaming Berrios over service time, but rather that there's a belief among many of us here that the Twins front office inherently places too much trust in veterans and older guys at the expense of the younger guys.

    Sorry for any Northern Iowa fans out here in TD territory. Devastating loss. That phantom blocking foul with 11 seconds I felt was the back breaker (lots of other chances blown, yeah, but that was the tough one).
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agreed. Using FIP to make the case for Nolasco especially doesn't work. Nolasco's actual ERA is higher than his "fair" ERA in every season in the majors he has pitched. He pitches better on paper than when actually on the mound and if he starts again this year there's no reason to think it will be any different.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The injury angle sounds odd to me too, but if actual baseball people like Molitor and Ortiz are raising it as a concern, it shouldn't be completely discounted. Hanley Ramirez got two minor injuries from playing outfield last year. You throw your body to the ground differently on the outfield. Sano knows how to lunge for a ball from the third base position but he has no clue what he's doing in the outfield, because he's never done it before. No muscle memory.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Did Burdi and Chargois go to Rochester?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Nolasco makes the rotation, I will not let Vanimal hold you to that.

    Story about Perkins from last spring: http://twinsdaily.com/_/minnesota-twins-news/spring-training-2015/glen-perkins-looking-to-move-on-r3507 In short, his FB was at 91-92 and he was starting to feel his age. He was just coming off his contract extension. He talked about busting out his change up at some point later in his career, but as it happened did not throw it last year.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I will say, Reusse has already banged this drum twice this spring, and LENIII was pretty hot on Barreiro today about Berrios and Burdi being demoted. Expectations are being raised this year even with the print media apparently.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ortiz never learned to hit opposite field so I'm not sure his opinion carries much weight
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No. We're 5-5 heading into the 18th. Hughes in to pitch.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    At this point, I'm afraid I agree. Though I don't really mind Milone. Also, he is putting together a really nice spring, which isn't hurting his case.
