  1. Rodney Dangerfield? Henny Youngman? EDIT: Another one liner? Chief beat me to it....
  2. 28 but fairly new to the league. I compare him somewhat to Buehrle actually. Buehrle is 36 and throws like 84 mph but knows what pitch to throw in all situations.
  3. He is better as the game goes on and will get better with age as he learns the batters. His slider is already a good weapon.
  4. The Twins were happy to start the season with Arcia in left and zero good outfielders. Let's see if next year they are happy to platoon Arcia in left when they have two actual good outfielders.
  5. Gibson will be fine. Toronto is good but not this good. They've got to have some holes in their swings that the Twins aren't identifying. Maybe the data wasn't delivered to them. Maybe Suzuki is in a lazy pitch calling slump. Also it would be nice to have a 98MPH guy who could just go in and throw heat instead of bringing in relievers with 92 MPH fastballs who fool no one.
  6. the worst is that they will probably lose 3-1 tomorrow or get swept this weekend or something. It always happens.
  7. I'm listening to the radio and keep hearing the words "stand up double" Is that any different from a "sliding" double? Thanks I'll take my answer off the air
  8. ]If this means Nolasco never gets another shot at the rotation, I think we'll all be on board with that. (of course things aren't always what they seem with the Twins FO.....)
  9. if we keep doing that, we will never catch them 4-0, 4-2, 4-3, 4-3.5, 4-3.75, 4-3.875,......
  10. Hey Vanimal, first time / long time, love your program. Do you have any info on Oswaldo Arcia? Has he learned to choke up with two strikes and take it the other way, or is he still swinging for the fences every time. What do you rate his chances of ever learning to hit at the Major League level? Thanks, I'll take my answer off the air.
  11. I think some teams ruin it for others. A team like the San Francisco Giants has been to 3 World Series and mostly with guys they've drafted themselves. Cain, Lincecum, Bumgarner, Jonathan Sanchez, Brian Wilson, Sergio Romo, Volgelsong, others I'm sure who are also coming up through the system that aren't household names yet.
  12. Ron in Golden Valley, call Dark Star right now.
  13. Overall I like it, but who did we trade Plouffsie for? I didn't hear about this
  14. Well written article but I disagree. Especially with the timing. The time to look back and say "meh, wouldn't have made a difference anyway" is in the offseason. The guys in the clubhouse were expecting reinforcements. Twins have an opportunity this year they weren't expecting, and the front office has so far pooched it. The team now needs to get out of Toronto ASAP and try and regroup to make a second go at this thing. The front office can still help if they want.
  15. If Dozier's bat hits the ball 6 millimeters lower, it's a 10-9 score.........
  16. There BETTER be some pinch hitters
  17. Were those the first ground balls Toronto hit tonight?
  18. In fairness, the front office basically has signaled to us Pinto will never be an option.
  19. Four fastballs in the exact same spot and Fryer takes like one swing at it
