  1. I'd like to hear a beat reporter ask Ryan exactly what Hu has left to work on in A ball!
  2. Having Vargas available to DH as a righty last night might have made a difference.
  3. Don't. But when you get dressed and come to the park tomorrow, forget it ever happened.
  4. All I heard early in the night was "the ball ain't carrying tonight"............
  5. Colabello did hit a good pitch. And Perkins had the other guy struck out if not for the ump falling asleep behind the plate.
  6. Bingo. This organization is loaded with DH's.
  7. Letting Santana ground out weakly. Ouch. Embrace the PH, Molitor.
  8. What Stringer Bell said a couple innings ago---this team needs to start scoring runs later in the game.
  9. I see Terry Ryan in the press box, tapping his right arm for Tim Stauffer.
  10. yes... we should have a movie night or something ... There is also the scene where the band shows up at an Air Force base and the lieutenant tells them he wants the show to start at 1900 hours, and tells them it's currently 1830 hours, so the band thinks they have 70 hours to get set up...
  11. May looks gassed, like he just ran a marathon; either that or he was pitching in the rain...
  12. I was just about to say: "Too much hard contact against May tonight"
  13. No, you are thinking of fire and ice, where the mean = lukewarm water (Spinal Tap movie reference)
  14. The next heads-tails coin flip must only have a 22% chance of coming up heads.
  15. Twins brought their smoke and mirrors again tonight
  16. Ugh. The "not fair to the other guys" philosophy just kills me sometimes. Just my opinion. All these guys are paid obscene amounts of money to play a child's game. When they leave the playing field they will have credentials to get a job in baseball in some capacity. They should be set for life, or if not, let them scramble like the rest of us and carry their memories the rest of their lives. /soapbox There's nothing unfair about calling up Milone and demoting Nolasco to the bullpen. Better now than when Santana returns. EDIT: yeah the 6-man might be a possibility temporarily so long as it wouldn't create havoc on the routine of the other 5 guys. I'd be hesitant to change too much just yet, maybe not until they start slipping back to .500-- not sure. It's an interesting idea.
  17. Never mind, me neither, enough bytes have been used here on Keith Law already
  18. can you pull a quote or link us to anything smart he has actually said about the Twins this season? I suspect a lot of people like JB and myself only run across guys like Law when someone links to an article. The links are appreciated btw. But cut through the chaff and all Baumann and Law basically said was "since there is no one putting up great numbers, it must therefore be unsustainable, and by the way, run differential." Which anyone on these boards could have told you.
  19. I would also accept player comps to 2011 Chipper Jones and 2014 Martin Maldonado, for these reasons.
  20. Well the rest of the piece isn't exactly Twins Daily quality. There's no mention of Neil Allen at all, or that the staff is relying less on the fastball, or Plouffe's glove, Kyle Gibson, Escobar, the horrible opening series that would actually put the Twins at an even better record, and so on. The Grantland writer sees the W-L record and without knowing much about the Twins, concludes that they will inevitably backslide, without really understanding many of the deeper things that are happening. (And yeah they might backslide, etc)
