    Yeah, can't say Burton didn't get the memo this time
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    let me know how that fits on ya
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I really wish MLB would use more analysis like this and bring slow motion replay back to their videos.

    Good starting pitching has a way of turning the other team's clubhouse into a library

    I also think Perkins has the inside track. Gardenhire was named a bench coach and he and Perk seem pretty tight, so if Gardy has any sway it might be Perkins (provided he maintains the numbers). OTOH adding a former Yankee might be a fun bit of schadenfreude for a Boston manager. On the third hand, if Dozier continues hitting (say he somehow reaches 20/20 at the break) it will be tough to leave him off. And obviously I am just guessing about all of this

    I've sat with tech guys who sit at double-barrel 27 inch HD monitors as they have worked on designing a website for a three inch smartphone… (not saying that's you, or that that's even bad, just a little ironic, probably no way around it)... Anyway, I love the TD desktop site and would be grateful if the desktop site remains an option for the mobile.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Another question is, would he be considered a good hitting pitcher?

    The 91 team was a validation of the 87 team so for me, 91 was more satisfying. And they were just a better team. Geez I've become an old-timer

    If that team made the postseason, you could add '77 Reggie to the October postseason roster.

    Hey, the more optimists on this site, the better... I've always thought the Twins could play to within spittin' distance of .500 this year, simply because of Ryan's free agent pitcher signings and the natural development of the young guys. But I think Division or Wild Card is too much to expect.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Since the other guys supposedly aren't ready, I don't have a problem with Herrmann so long as he primarily sits and Gardy doesn't feel he needs to be worked into every game somehow, just because.

    touche -- though I'm a bit skeptical you'd be skeptical of everything

    So I'm listening to the television broadcast (Dick&Bert) and they are talking about the upcoming roster move to be made following today's game. (Dick suggested it might be Chris Herrmann.) In the top of the 8th, Dick said something to the effect: "Twins are carrying 13 pitchers, but teams across the league are struggling with pitching and carrying 13 pitchers, unless you are Oakland or Detroit. So it's not just the Twins." And then Bert threw in the obligatory "no pitch counts in my day" observation. So anyway, I actually went to mlb.com and checked the 25 man rosters in the American league as of today (I didn't check the NL) for how many pitchers teams are carrying. Here is the list of teams besides the Twins carrying 13 pitchers: - New York, - Cleveland. Two other teams. The Rays, who have actually played the season without 3 of their 5 starting pitchers this season, are still carrying 12 pitchers. http://rays.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=tb Not trying to start a "rip management" thread, just trying to point out how, in my belief, narratives and wishes have genuinely trumped reality inside this organization. Lots of folks on these threads (including me) have become instinctively skeptical of most things this organization says and does, and I guess I'm just pointing out one more reason here for why that is so.

    Plouffe and Mauer and their 1.000+ OPS vs Felix!
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Both sides make good points. How would a Dozier extension affect the Meyer/Sano/Buxton beast, if at all?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Colabello had had the benefit of a MLB-affiliated minor league development track instead of 7 years in independents, he might have become a very good MLB hitter.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The rubber band lives!
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    holey buckets
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Can I change my pick?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Santana continued playing center, it would only be a matter of time before we saw something-Escobar or Colabello-like.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm more worried if Pinto gets hurt DH-ing and Suzuki has to come out of the catcher position to DH the rest of the night.. *rimshot*
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    FIP -- noted.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Totally agree
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He had a good July-August last year but otherwise this notion has been bouncing around TD for a while, so after checking it out I see that it hasn't really been true since 2009. He typically has good April-May and then sometime in the summer he wilts (of course Miami summers are worse than MN summers). Forgive me for using traditional stats but this is for ballpark purposes: [TABLE=class: grid, width: 500, align: center] [TD=align: center]year[/TD] [TD=align: center]APRIL-MAY[/TD] [TD=align: center]SEASON TOTAL[/TD] [TD=align: center]2013[/TD] [TD=align: center]3-6, 3.69, 1.15[/TD] [TD=align: center]13-11, 3.70, 1.21[/TD] [TD=align: center]2012[/TD] [TD=align: center]5-3, 4.26, 1.30[/TD] [TD=align: center]12-13, 4.48, 1.37[/TD] [TD=align: center]2011[/TD] [TD=align: center]4-1, 3.82, 1.30[/TD] [TD=align: center]10-12, 4.67, 1.40[/TD] [TD=align: center]2010[/TD] [TD=align: center]4-4, 4.65, 1.24[/TD] [TD=align: center]14-9, 4.51, 1.28[/TD] [/TABLE] The good thing about Nolasco is he's a good candidate to give us some 200+ inning seasons, which we haven't seen here for a few years.

    Parmelee, in his week back in MLB, has almost as many home runs as the rest of the outfielders combined. Good to have him back.
