    Looks like the Twins have a chance to be a victim of a Dallas Braden-esque perfect game ... The guy only needs three outs ... Lopez just has to make sure none of the next three guys get on ... He hasn't walked anyone yet ... Everything is going to be really well for him.

    Randy Dobnak has got to be one the better under the radar stories in the system. Going from undrafted to being the Kernels workhorse in a very successful season for that team, despite the moving parts, is fun to see. Gardenhire knows he can ask him to go seven, open or come in when someone else has a short outing. Baddoo has had a good season too, but Dobnak is probably their MVP.

    Great article, Carole. Thanks for posting.

    Glad it didn't work ... I love Cedar Rapids and Perfect Game Field.

    Those other minority groups are of no concern to the Party for the Benefit of Slash129.

    Yes. What's good for New York and California is not what's good for me.

    Those "Racial Profiling" subject line emails that Booker is risking his career over didn't seem very damning. Considering the situation at the time, "grappling" with being politically correct versus ensuring airport security seems like the exact situation that lawmaker would be expected to deal with. The documents should be released, but if that's the meat and potatoes, then I fear this isn't going to be much of a battle.

    Hmm ... That's a major gap .... Obviously, the two sites have some different calculations into what constitutes a line drive.

    I would expect earlier next year if the Twins are competing, and this production level continues with decent gains on the defensive side of the ball. Otherwise, mid-April 2020 ... see Bryant, Acuna, Jr. (and soon to be Guerrero, Jr. and Jimenez).

    Congrats to the E-Twins! The future is bright. Go Kernels! Go Miracle!

    I'm not sure where you got the 24% number, but Fangraphs is showing 16.4% for Line Drives. He does seem to have a good approach and good control of the strike zone, but perhaps some work on swing mechanics would result in better output. From a layman's perspective, he seems to pop the ball up way to much. I'm a Kepler fan and am hopeful that he's a slow burn to being a part of the long term solution. He's still just 25 and younger than any of the OF that are currently with the Twins.

    From what I've watched of this hearing, I hope the Democrats have someone better than Cory Booker to run against Trump. He seems to be the Democrat version of Trump where everything is about him instead of the good of the country.

    Wish we had us a Bregman.

    Rewarding mediocrity ... That sounds like a great plan. Coddling is for 2nd grade house leaguers not million dollar pros.

    I don't think grouping Johnny Field with Gimenez and Petit is necessarily fair. Sure, he was a Rays castoff and doesn't represent one of our beloved system MiLBers, but he' still a 26 yo rookie. He hasn't done much in his audition, but then neither did Niko Goodrum last year. Looking at Field's AAA numbers, he seems to have faired better at that level than darlings Lamonte Wade and Nick Gordon are ATM. I'm not saying that Field is the next godsend, but, once you get past names, he fits more into the type of player that you want to evaluate during September than the group of retreads that are being mentioned otherwise. Duffy is more of a retread, and Anderson is almost two years older.

    Interesting market play ... They've been losing share .... Addidas, Reebok, etc. may find some additional share in marketing to military.

    He just needs to project his voice more ... "Here's Rosario for birdie .... a little chip and run ... and he'll come up just short and have to settle for what should be an easy par."

    Alex won't be lining up in CF anytime soon. He's even acknowledged that he's still working hard to improve his defense.
  20. slash129
    Because there is such a bright light around Gordon's 60 errors the past three years against lesser competition ...
  21. slash129
    Based on .... ? 1) $$$ in signing bonus 2) Being related to Dee and Flash 3) Draft position (Kinda like Dustin Ackley, Christian Colon and Bubba Starling)

    The CBA is what it is. It's fair to dislike parts of it, and I think the players have the short end of the stick. It's in place though, so I have no problem with the FO acting within the rules. It goes both ways. If I typically vote against politicians who support entitlement programs, and they get elected anyway and push the programs. Well, I would be stupid not to sign up and collect on everything that I legally qualified to collect.

    Wow, quite a bit of overreacting to a game worth 1/162 of the season.
  24. slash129
    Well, the pitching looks good from Vasquez, I suspect what we are seeing is a guy who torpedoed through the system this year based on said pitching. He needs to be sanded down the rest of the way with lots of PFP.
  25. slash129
    We're still in this one ... I'm betting on Gallardo helping us out
