  1. Wasn't it some sort of mutual option? Maybe Colome chose to leave... Then all would be right with the Twins, wouldn't it?
  2. Do they open the books for reservations that far in advance? One time someone told me to get reservations when they started taking them a year away from a wedding in a popular tourist place, i waited 6 months until the national park service opened their campsite reservations. I think i was the only one attending that wedding sleeping in a tent... Wonder if there is good camping near Cooper's town...
  3. Does this mean beat writers will have to go to Walmart for their shirts? Or will there suddenly be lots of shirtless people wandering around looking for something else to write about? (I suggest poetry. Try Haiku if you don't rhyme. It stands to reason) Also, kudos for bringing up the possibility of lockout or strike (not that i can tell the difference) due to the negotiations going south, and not in the Spring Training way. Not that i have read much news of late, but i haven't seen much coverage or posturing related to the up and coming collective bargaining agreement. How's it going?
  4. Did we ever find out what was in the box?
  5. A winning record so far this year? No wa?!!!!
  6. Eddie reintroduces MLB to the wonder of day games? Or they'll just move the World Series Braves home games to Colorado?
  7. If he is likely to offer any mentoring value, i'd be happy to have him. But that is just me. I still think he is a consummate pitcher. I enjoyed watching him in game 7 against the Nationals almost 2 years ago, where there was none of this "i'm hiding my grip in my glove as that could indicate what i am throwing." He used the same grip on every pitch. Anyway, we'll see soon enough where he goes...
  8. Was he there too? Didn't know he played for us...
  9. Is that 13 things to be disappointed by? We may have to change the subject line/title of the article...
  10. It's actually spelled gull-libel, stemming from published exaggerations of how seagulls will follow you anywhere expecting to be fed.
  11. I had a kneejerk reaction to #16 - Brent Rooker (Minnesota) - Did not play Rooker pinch hit for Cave in the...7th(?) got hit by a pitch, and was pinch run for by Simmons... Not a lot of action there either, but that is playing... almost. Anyway, sorry we got walked off! Good to know there is another game Thursday to set things right.
  12. But why not just intend to overthrow your target all the time by 20 feet? (hash tag - go to 11)
  13. Impressive! I am happy to see he seems to be improving this year.
  14. Do they replace the ACL with honey comb, claiming that part of his anatomy for their winter food supply? Byron Buxton: the bee's knees.... Or is that spoiler? Right. Mum's the word.
  15. I expect Mr. Ryan's response took everyone by surprise, as the plan was for him to actually tweak himself trying to complete the play, and then to throw it away in the process giving an extra base to the runner. This classic insult to injury move was foiled by Ryan's response.
  16. I too was intrigued... I looked at box score, and indeed, final 3 innings was meant there. But just figured i'd point out walks don't count as at bats, so bases need not be loaded to satisfy the last three at bats restriction.
  17. Yeah... I had hope. Even up to the point where the catch/fumble/targetting review happened. Still optimistic for the season even though they didn't tumble the buckeyes...
  18. He was part of the Ben Revere haul, no? And Ben had that iconic catch following the Boston Marathon Bomb. Biter was better known as Orcrist, if i remember the Hobbit well (although i wouldn't fault someone for dredging up Glamdring instead) Sorry for the eratic chain of consciousness post...
  19. These characterizations made reading this thread worth it to me. Thanks! I will have to get back to you on "worst signing ever." I feel it would take a handwriting specialist to make that claim...
  20. A chance to introduce a thread about a game, and subsequent discussion as that game plays out? Like this: https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/53213-game-thread-twins-v-rays-94-305pm-ct/ Which is along way of saying you're not really missing anything. But we connoisseurs of said game threads are missing out on your creativity, that's all.
  21. If we are giving Mr. Buxton a break late in a game which is already decided, and want to see how Mr. Gordon handles a pinch hit opportunity, perhaps it makes sense.
  22. Game thread intro! Please? And if you space the writing out over several days until the next free game, maybe you can fend off carpel tunnel...
