  1. My favorite part of your game setup today is that you let Harry Caray select the photos
  2. The key is if everything goes right. Things don't seem to be going peachy for Sano right now. The Twins seem happy with Plouffe (as am I). Maybe Sano's value is at it's height at this moment? How often does a guy like Sale come along with that kind of contract?
  3. By that logic, the Twins should just call up Berrios and Sano immediately. It would make us into a possible powerhouse for the next 6-8 years.
  4. It's certainly a concern. The best part of this story is the disclosure of information such as in this article. I had been wondering what McHugh's secret was, and now we know! The drama circling Houston and St Louis circa 2011 is a bit juicier than I thought, I will admit. I think people are setting themselves up for disappointment if they expect Cardinals management will all be frogmarched to federal prison and Busch stadium circled with police tape, however. That's just not how these stories end.
  5. It is what it is. I love the All Star game either way. A couple of those Royals probably won't play for whatever reason but prepare to see a lot of Royal Blue. I think the commish will probably step in and swap out the K.C. second baseman by force, if necessary, and I doubt anyone would push back too hard on that if he did. This would help Dozier's cause somewhat.
  6. In other news, Assistant GM Rob Antony just found out about Kris Bryant from the Cubs, so Antony logged in to his Yahoo fantasy baseball team (from his work computer---dangerous) to put in a waiver claim, but Bryant was already taken!
  7. If only there was a player out there, someone who could bat .275/.315/.406 over a full season if you gave him consistent playing time, someone with an occasional bit of pop and played above average defense. Bonus points if he's only aged 26 and already on your roster!
  8. Mauer LOL can anybody figure this guy out?
  9. was Arcia the guy who tore off his shirt complaining about a call last week?
  10. Nunez is one of the very, very few guys doing anything at the plate. Let him hit for Pete's sake.
  11. Have we had a walk off win this year? Maybe the Twins are saving the drama for the bottom of the 9th.
  12. Perk was too fired up tonight. I wasn't worried for a second, esp after the Retnolds AB. Your fears were for naught.
  13. you realize Chris Parmelee has 3 HR in his 10 PA's this year
  14. Just what we (don't) need--an inside out bloop
  15. Oh my goodness he pulled his foot Should get a run from this!
  16. yeah. i'm part guilty. I really would've loved a walk there.
  17. I'd be curious to know how many times in his first 8 seasons Mauer ever struck out after getting ahead 2-0 in the count. I'd bet no more than 10-15 times.
  18. Hopefully the pitching staff will continue to give us good starts while the offense gets back on track. We are already seeing Plouffe getting better at bats. The starting pitchers should also consider this a tryout, since Santana will be returning soon. Tonight's the night we turn it around!
  19. Another sign his head isn't in the right place is his decisions in the field. On Monday night the pitcher squared to bunt in a sacrifice situation and lined a hard bunt on an easy hop to Mauer who was already rushing in to field it. Joe had an eternity to pivot and throw to 2nd to force the lead runner and I'm sure Suzuki was yelling second base. (Actually I'm not sure about that.) Instead, Joe waited for the pitcher to jog up the line further and then eventually applied a tag. Maybe Suzuki didn't call the right base. Maybe Joe has self-doubt about making that 270 degree pivot and long throw to second. Maybe he forgot the game situation once the ball was put in play. Either way, Mauer's baseball sense didn't seem to be working on that play.
  20. Good for him. If he's in the lineup tomorrow night, he'll get to face Kevin Corriea.
