  1. "It was the fourth time in the last 13 games the Twins gave up at least a dozen runs. How is this still a first-place team?" They seem to play a lot of games at both ends of the spectrum. While surrendering 10 or more runs in 10 or their 60 games already, they've also held opponents to 2 or fewer runs in 20 games, which is pretty impressive.
  2. Best Draft Talent Available on Day Two from Baseball America Also 2017 Draft: The BA 500
  3. I believe we MInnesotans should not indulge the fancy affectations of the west-coast types and should thus refer to the Mariners by the perfectly fine pronounciation "Mah-REEN-ers" when referencing their team instead of the overly-grandiose "MARE-uh-ners."
  4. Wouldn't you rather have the Hunter Greene story to follow over the next few years regardless of his riskier developmental outlook? What fun that would be!
  5. Coming off a rare credible hitting performance by an American League pitcher is probably not the ideal time to state this, but I hate HATE inter-league rules. The American League should not be penalized in National League parks. Period. Exclamation Mark. Ampersand.
  6. "(Sano BTW… needs a unique clever nickname)" Yankees 3B 2022
  7. Sheesh. That whole garment bag/suitcase thing is confusing... It's like driving on a parkway and parking on a beltway.
  8. The Lone Ranger has kept his "Lone" appellation in response to Tonto's less-than-forthcoming dictum ("Doctor say you going to die, Kemosabe.") during the now-famous snake bite incident.
  9. Which Rockies hitters would you take over their Twins equivalent? Mark Reynolds over Joe Mauer? Nolan Arenado over Miguel Sano? Trevor Story over Jorge Polanco? Charlie Blackmon over Byron Buxton?
  10. 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.
  11. And he's under team control for four more years - unless we try to sign him longer term and avoid his arbitration years.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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

  18. 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.
  19. How about we just go to automated strikezones and this won't be a thing anymore?
  20. 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.
