  1. I remember Little Falls beating Robbinsdale to win the 2A high school basketball championship in the 70's behind Frankie Wachlarowicz who went on to be a standout Minnesota collegiate player at St. John's. One of the games Litte Falls won in the tourney that year was over a Hibbing team with a fella named McHale.
  2. And he's under team control for four more years - unless we try to sign him longer term and avoid his arbitration years.
  3. At 5.32, Rick Porcello's ERA is almost half a run better than Verlander's this year. That pretty much justifies Porcello's 2016 Cy Young in my book.
  4. Santana's batting average-against on balls in play are going to normalize at some point this season. It's currently .074 which is ridiculous - no matter how much ground Buxton, Kepler and Rosario can cover.
  5. Sweeping. In olden times, people would sweep for hours and the floor would still be dirty. Then came the realization that they were trying to sweep dirt floors. Soon came wooden floors, carpets and, eventually, technology progressed to the point that mankind sent automated rovers to the planet Mars -where the dirt is called regolith. From this Mars rover technology sprung the Roomba - a fully autonomous sweeping device which, while convenient to the modern homemaker, is a nightmare to get into the ballpark and swing as a prop at baseball games. http://thesweethome.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/02/01-robot-vacuum-irobot-roomba-650-630.jpg

  9. Kind of makes me wish I'd appreciated Mauer's peak years all the more. I was probably too busy complaining about a lack of playoff wins or something Kevin Slowey-related.
  10. How about we just go to automated strikezones and this won't be a thing anymore?
  11. I believe that great fielding plays made by the hometown ballboy or ballgirl should be counted as outs at the umpire's discretion and scored U-2.
  12. The Metrodome has got to be rolling over in its grave right now.
  13. If 2017 is to be a one-year audition for Molitor, How do you think the new FO views these managenrial traits in level of importance and how do you think they'd currently grade the current manager in each? In-game strategy Managing the Lineup and pitching staff Development of players Team chemistry Media relations
  14. If the other Major League teams are also going to be employing these new training techniques won't the Twins at best only be preserving their current standing relative to the rest of the clubs? (Which was last, 130 runs worse than anybody else) I would cast my vote for finding some more successful pitchers somewhere.
  15. "Fister is only two-years removed from a terrific season in Washington" see Ricky Nolasco, Kevin Correia, Vance Worley, Jason Marquis...
  16. I make myself feel better by imaging Dozier's production comes at 1B and Mauer's at 2B and that the two are each paid $16 million. It still works out the same, but everyone's a little happier.
  17. This John Swol article on Twins Trivia provides thumbnails on a few of them.
  18. The new CBA also banned smokeless tobacco for all new players coming into the MLB - this following Tony Gwynn's death in 2014 from salivary gland cancer brought on by his years of dipping tobacco.
