    Was he there too? Didn't know he played for us...
  2. sampleSizeOfOne
    Is that 13 things to be disappointed by? We may have to change the subject line/title of the article...
  3. sampleSizeOfOne
    Unless...
  4. sampleSizeOfOne
    Concur.

    It's actually spelled gull-libel, stemming from published exaggerations of how seagulls will follow you anywhere expecting to be fed.

    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.

    But why not just intend to overthrow your target all the time by 20 feet? (hash tag - go to 11)
  8. sampleSizeOfOne
    Impressive! I am happy to see he seems to be improving this year.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  12. sampleSizeOfOne
    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...
  13. sampleSizeOfOne
    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...

    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...
  15. sampleSizeOfOne
    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.
  16. sampleSizeOfOne
    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.
  17. sampleSizeOfOne
    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...
  18. sampleSizeOfOne
    Oh, they put their cleats on one foot at a time. And sharpen them to quite the point.
  19. sampleSizeOfOne
    That's right! How'd they do?
  20. sampleSizeOfOne
    No.... pretty sure my handle choice predates his at bat. But it fits. I went searching a year or two afterwards for the comment what had seeded the idea for my handle, but was looking at things at a career level, that most people only get one career...
  21. sampleSizeOfOne
    What's that leaf shaped flag in the picture? I didn't know they had leaves in the Bronks. And coping with complex situations, it often helps to see it from all points of view. Think how it must feel to be a Yankee or a fan of that team, mercilessly crushing the Twins at every opportunity. Must be pretty good... (I'm playing the long game here, knowing the if we succeeded at this, the Twins would win just to spite us)

    Will this listing be reflected in the individual prospect updates at the end of the daily Minor League action recap?
  23. sampleSizeOfOne
    I think Simmons fielding percentage of airborn covid globules headed my way is probably somewhat short of Pfizer or Moderna in effectiveness, but may be could give Janssen a run for its money, as well AstraZenica. Definitely I'd give Simmons the starting job over Sputnik Zifivax and Abdala. Neither am i sure i would trust any other middle infielder over him. And at $10 million he is well below the R&D costs of anything on the market. His problem is that he doesn't scale at all. . It would take more than a decade before new Simmonses might become viable defenders in their own right , and who knows what variants he will be effective against? So even if he is good enough, there isn't much he can do to stem the tide of the pandemic, and that sets him up for unrealistic expectations. And as for baseball, keep him around! I personally will be just as disappointed if they let him go early as i would be if they let Buxton go.

    Pretty sure they charge for tickets to minor league games too, just perhaps not as much money, nor of quite so many fans... (well, there was this one time when the box office's credit card machine wasn't working, and they quietly gave tickets anyway, but that's just the exception (and not even one that proves the rule at that))
  25. sampleSizeOfOne
    And just to be clear, we don't have to make room for Aaron Judge or Kris Bryant on our 40 man roster? It would be a travesty to lose Astudillo or Cave.
