    He would give us a chance to root for Houston without rooting for the Astros.

    Do we even have a list if we're listless? :) Seeing these two sentences one after the other was a curious quirk of language that I found amusing.

    I'm ready to start the "Rocco watch," opening Twins Daily daily looking for the headline saying he has been "relieved of his duties." (Just as I hope for a headline every day announcing the demise of a certain set of politicians.)

    If the Twins batted everyone who should be seventh or lower in their appropriate positions, their lineup would have about five open slots between Buxton and #7.

    I want to be optimistic ... but recent history makes me wonder not if but how he will fail. Injuries? Poor performance? Something else? I just can't believe that he can possibly be the left-handed ace we have craved since Santana.

    With that name, maybe he could be a pitcher...

    It's what Minnesota fans do. (As opposed to, say, winning.)

    Typical unproductive game from Wallner: solo homerun, then an out with the bases loaded to end the game. Is there anyone in the major leagues with a lower RBI/HR ratio? I look occasionally at the Twins' lineup and he's in a class by himself on the team.

    Said another way: Sands is what we thought he was until he fooled us with a couple of good months.

    Bring on relegation! Nothing more pathetic than bad teams with nothing for which to play. In the EPL, battles between the teams at the bottom fighting relegation are often spirited, with both sides going all out to win.

    That's the downside of trading them, from an economic point of view. Having the potential of a competitive game 40% of the time might reduce the decline in gate and advertising revenue next year. Otherwise, we are likely in for Oakland-sized "crowds" next year.

    Unfortunately, the Twins can never have a pitcher like that. In order to get on the team, they all need to try to throw through walls against every batter.

    When the Twins call on a relief pitcher, BP stands for Batting Practice.

    Buxton's return: Meaningless solo homerun and a loss. Just like before. He's having a great year in the stats, but it seems like most of his homeruns are like this one: single run in a losing cause.
  15. PDX Twin
    I suspected that Correa might end up the way he has, so I'm not surprised. I'm also not displeased that we have cut loose an anchor on our financial flexibility and opened the way for young infielders to get experience. If only there were more of those!

    I so totally agree with the premise of this article. The Twins seem to ignore the human side of baseball and the human side of their players. It seems like they are just Strat-o-Matic cards: swap them based solely on the spreadsheet. I found today's Economist quote of the day profound and relevant: "A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it." (From Rabindranath Tagore.) There are a lot of bloody hands in the Twins offices the last few years.

    Add Baldelli and Falvey to that list ... please!
  18. PDX Twin
    Why do you provide us with video of a homerun---about as interesting as watching a golfer drive---and neglect one of the most exciting plays in baseball: a steal of home?
  19. PDX Twin
    Slumbering bats. Lumbering legs. Exhausted, inconsistent arms. They have it all.
  20. PDX Twin
    These little things don't show up on spreadsheets; this FO and manager don't care about them. I'll bet on the spreadsheet we're 10 games above .500 this season.
  21. PDX Twin
    Sounds more like Lopez Day ...

    My solution is to be selective about the authors I read. In the last couple of years, the amount of content has exploded, but the amount of really quality content has remained about the same. Nick, Seth, and a handful of others have reliably good content and write well (especially Nick, who consistently measures up to this old professor's demanding standards). The rest? I sometimes look at those articles but only if I'm really interested in the topic.

    On Star Wars Night, I expected more from Darth Bader.
  24. PDX Twin
    Um, how is this possible? Did they get a one-run penalty during warmups?
  25. PDX Twin
    Which guy?
