To trade or not to trade Plouffe this offseason.
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to gopherman23's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Plouffe is a good third baseman. Every year he has a couple games like that. If the ball is hit into Plouffe's little bubble of space, he's pretty reliable nowadays. But I think I've seen Sano dive for more balls at third this year than Plouffe. Plouffe also hits into too many double plays for someone of average power. But how finished is Sano as a reliable fielder? Here's how I see it, which is greater: 3B Plouffe + DH Sano Or 3B Sano + DH Arcia/platoon + new players from Plouffe trade -
actually I did - you're welcome

cheers me up-thanks

Dammit, I keep walking away when the good things happen!

I've only been watching the missed calls. What's the score?
-
OK I stand corrected

i have a catapult? (How far back can we go?)

Who can watch this game tonight and not want the robo-strike zone?
-
Man, I was just about to say, Plouffie is gonna take advantage of the fresh count! That run goes to Hicks
-
Sano sneaking up on him?

So many missed chances #junebaseball

But I have been... File under: "Too soon, I guess"

I don't think Jared deserves that!

Or women, or racial minorities, or anyone not of the baby boomer age, or you fill in the blank.

Also, a round of applause for the Georgia-based Parker executive search firm. They recommended this guy AND Norwood Teague—who can guess what other talent they are sitting on! #grift

Irritating.

Back in the day, the toll booths were only 73 feet apart, so Chicago is proudly making progress on this! Chicago has also replaced their original automatic toll collecting machines with modern toll booths. Those first toll booths were nasty, nothing more than scuffed metal baskets, where drivers pulled up and were required to throw arbitrary amounts of change into them, this one 65 cents, the next one 20 cents. If you missed the basket, there was a sign nearby threatening you with imprisonment. The implication being this: "Here in Illinois, we mean business!" There was usually enough loose change strewn on the ground to buy a hamburger at Howard Johnson's, and I once heard a story of how one Chicago resident scooped up enough change in this way to buy White Sox season tickets. But here again, there is progress. The new toll booths are now staffed with White Sox, Cubs, Bears, and Black Hawks fans, who pass the time between vehicles by longingly looking upon the license plates of vehicles from other states. The downside of these new toll booths is that they now cost a buck fifty. But at least you can get exact change, so long as you help the guy in the booth with his arithmetic. Maybe a Chicago native and White Sox fan can come on the thread and confirm this information for us, so that we can banish them from this website. Oh, I'm sorry, what was the question?

Yes, yes, a 1,000 times yes. I was just typing out that state legislators should still have occupations away from the Capitol. Term limits or not. Congress is a little different beast, I realize.

If you follow events but haven't seen this story yet, you need to take a look. It's both funny and dark at the same time. I still don't know how much it should bother me yet. It's about the new president at the University of Iowa. (First link more of a direct news report, second link more of an editorial with more link outs): https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/09/04/appointment-businessman-bruce-harreld-next-u-iowa-president-upsets-faculty http://www.slate.com/articles/life/education/2015/09/university_of_iowa_names_new_president_no_experience_no_ideas_flubbed_his.single.html If any Iowa natives know something and want to give their input, please do.

Haha, I saved all my likes for the very end of the thread, and none of you didn't. Kind of like Molitor that way -

Twins Topple Royals; Milone, Escobar Deliver
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I thought May pitched great last night, even if the stat line didn't reflect it. Best case scenario: a rested Hughes heals up and returns for a couple starts, Perkins heals up, Sano heals up. This could be good. -
The real Trevor May was back, tonight. You saw it in the first pitch he threw, his delivery much more relaxed and he hit the lower outside corner with a 96 MPH. Fun to watch. At the end of the inning, with two runners on base by virtue of ground balls, Kendrys Morales worked May for a 8-10 pitch at bat, and could still only muster a slow grounder that didn't even make it to the mound. Suzuki picked it up and threw out Morales for the third out, securing the win right there in the 8th. Chief's idea that May might be better in the bullpen next year can't be dismissed. Not fair to May if he wants to start, and he's probably more valuable as an innings workhorse, but he also has the makings of a shut down guy.
