    I'll say this (and little more) for Boston fans: This is the first game I've watched all year that the seats behind home plate have actually been full. Or is that because they don't have the fancy club with TVs to which to retreat?

    Tacky quoting myself, I know. But I got to thinking (always dangerous ... just ask my students): Would you trade Berríos for Sale straight up right now? I don't think I would.
  3. PDX Twin
    First two words scared me! Berríos is not for sale!!! (If I were running the club.)

    Maybe the non-American English-speaking world could compromise with a circumflex (colôr, flavôr) like the French did when they got rid of the silent "s" in hôtel and hôpital (among many other words).

    Love the umpire's hustle, but ... wow ... he is the anti-Buxton!

    Improved defense has probably helped Kintzler a lot. If preseason worries about Polanco and Sanó had on the left side been justified, he might have fewer saves.

    I'm curious about how those more knowledgeable than I (most of you) would answer the question "At this point, what is Buxton's ceiling (with the bat)?" I've given up on Mike Trout, but can he ever be a .300 hitter? Even at .250 his defense would make him a valuable player, but do you think he can ever be an offensive asset?

    And, of course, as soon as you write this Giminez starts in LF!

    How many more letters could they fit on the back of Hildenberger's shirt? If he had a hyphenated last name?

    I agree. Good broadcasting is all about matching the style of whatever sport you are covering. Vin Scully and Al Michaels had the perfect style for baseball. This is why the sound is always off when an American broadcaster attempts to narrate a football (soccer to Americans) game. Football requires the same kind of patient, relaxed narration as baseball does, but the American broadcasters seem to have the (incorrect!) attitude that "this is a boring game so I have to act excited about every pass to keep the viewers interested." Drives me nuts!

    Is there a statistic for two-strike fouls allowed? Mejia is racking them up. Can't seem to put them away.
  12. PDX Twin
    Should have thrown ball three. Hittable pitch with only two balls ... he was asking for it!
  13. PDX Twin
    Maybe he should mix in a couple of hit batters. You know, just to save on pitches relative to having a 3-2 count on everyone.
  14. PDX Twin
    Mejia has a two-inning no-hitter. But he may only make it through four at this rate!

    I've always thought of the Northwest Angle as a chimney.

    Best thing about driving across Nebraska nowadays is the 80 mph speed limit! In fact, that may be the only good thing. But it makes all the bad things more tolerable.

    Love this stuff! Thanks for posting it.

    And some have pointed out that Kitzler's strength is keeping guys off the bases, not striking out two guys with inherited runners at second and third. Wise bullpen usage IMHO.

    It's so difficult to compare someone (Gordon) who is just a year or so away from MLB with someone who has never played a professional game. Maybe we should have a multivariate ranking scheme with ratings for potential, risk, and likely time to MLB. How one would aggregate these into a single ranking would depend on the situation. A team that is close to contention would place more weight on how soon the player would reach the big club. A team that is building for a more distant future might put more emphasis on potential.
  20. PDX Twin
    Yes. The idea that a veteran opponent firstbaseman would congratulate a kid on his first hit really brings out the fraternity of ballplayers. I would guess that we at TD probably "hate" the White Sox players more than the Twins players do.

    It seems to me that Granite is the victim of good health. Have the Twins had any field player go on the DL this year? In almost 3 months? In a normal year probably one of Mauer, Vargas, Grossman, Rosario, Buxton, and Kepler is on the DL at almost any point in time, which means that Granite can come up and play the OF (with Grossman to DH if it's Mauer or Vargas who is injured). I don't want to hope for injuries, but when the inevitable happens Granite might get his chance.
  22. PDX Twin
    Agreed! I don't speak Spanish, but I know a little about which syllable should be accented, and Per-EZ drives me up the wall! (Kind of like people who pretend that "data" are singular rather than plural.)

    How can you like Colorado's shape more than Wyoming's?
  24. PDX Twin
    What's with Santana. Mr. Home Run?
  25. PDX Twin
    We moved here in 1988. By 1999, our house had tripled in value and seemed very expensive. (Of course it's doubled again since.)
