  1. Nice damage control. in play, run(s) please.
  2. I loath "double play depth." If Dozier is playing in the hole, like he should against a LH hitter, that's a 4-6-3 DP.
  3. If I'm at a game, and a ball comes into the stands, I'm going for it.
  4. Nice pick Mauer. Tough in between hop.
  5. Why would Buxton not be running somewhere in there?
  6. He is. Bully for him. One thing that might be helping is he has seemed to me to make a conscious effort to turn on pitches earlier in counts. Not sure how that invalidates the complaints when he wasn't playing good baseball, but let's hope he keeps it up.
  7. So they build Zozobra on a steep cliff? Anywho...great job Don!
  8. Disappointing, but QB play was always going to be an issue this year, and I'm hoping the play calling was intentionally vanilla. I think they'll get better as the season progresses in both areas.
  9. You can assume whatever you wish, of course. But I'm not speculating, or assuming anything. They did nothing. There's the positive fact I need. I gave previous regimes no credit for "we just couldnt get it done," I'm not going to give this one any either. Your Mileage May Vary, of course.
  10. We expect multiple repeats, with similar results. You understand that, correct?
  11. I've never believed it to be predictive.
  12. I know it's a fact they acquired nobody.
  13. They like us! They really like us!!
  14. Or maybe you don't put needless innings on Gibson's arm, and let him leave with his desperately needed self-esteem boosted?
  15. Not even trying for (and not getting) Verlander is just one data point, Pseudo. I've been posting for 2 months now that I was growing less impressed with the new FO. Not getting ANY help (and actually trading away from the pitching staff) is where I draw the line, and where they lost me. They've been presented with a golden opportunity...they should be trying to take advantage of that, particularly in a market where the Twins have become almost an afterthought for much of the paying public. And for the record, much of what you posted is either opinion (draft well, applying analytics in-game, a 'plan' with all the prospects), something that we all knew HAD to be done no matter who was hired (overhaul the analytics dept), or speculative (rebuilt coaching staff responsible for the 'huge' strides). I want to see actual, factual, on the major league field help.
  16. Y'know why the Romans never did algebra? X always equalled 10.
  17. I know, right? Gibson two scoreless innings!!
  18. I remember one night I was sitting in a hotel bar in Texas. Would you believe it? In walks Spock and two of his Vulcan buddies. The bartender was a bit taken aback, but once he recovered he walked right up and asked the first Vulcan, "Ya'll want a drink?" "I don't know," came the reply. The tender paused a minute, but decided to press on. He asked the second Vulcan, "Ya'll want a drink?" "I don't know," came the reply from the second Vulcan. The bartender was a bit irritated at this point, but decided to play nice. He turned to Spock, "Ya'll want a drink?" "Yes."
  19. Yeah, well people used to laugh at the idea of me being a comedian. They're not laughing any more, I tell ya.
  20. I'm still handsome. Just ask me.
