  1. What do Joe Mauer, Torii Hunter, Brian Dozier, Kennys Vargas, Trevor Plouffe, Kurt Suzuki, Shane Robinson, Eduardo Nunez, and Aaron Hicks have in common?
  2. Gibson was fortunate that pitch to Braun was only a single.
  3. I think it was just one of those nights for May. Didn't appear injured, couldn't put the ball where he wanted, hurt himself badly by turning a double play ball into a huge error.
  4. Some good fortune on a rocket from Gomez. We're due for some. Followed by a nice play from Dozier.
  5. So I bought a parrot the other day, brought it home, and the thing won't stop swearing. No matter what I try, everything the stupid bird says includes at least one of the 7 words you can't say on TV. I threatened the thing..."one more time, and I'm sticking you in the freezer." Sure enough, the bird mouths off, and swears at me in doing so. I put him in the freezer, and went back ten minutes later. "You win, mister. I'll never swear again," he says. "But please, you gotta tell me...what'd that turkey do?
  6. The pitcher is due up 8th, and you have Herrmann squaring to sacrifice?? That. is. pathetic.
  7. Marlins' outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is out for at least a month with a broken hamate bone in his left wrist. Sounds like surgery will be required. Sad news for baseball. That injury can be pretty tough to come back from, too.
  8. And there you have Danny Santana in a nutshell. Offensive ability, but he seems to get himself out a lot. He fields a routine easy hop, and throws it into the 4th row, then goes into the hole on a speedy LH hitter and rifles a throw to nail him, saving a run. Maddening, yet intriguing.
  9. It seems to me if Scalia is so opposed to the actions of the court, the only honorable thing for him to do is resign. If not, then it seems to me he's just a big windbag without the courage of his convictions.
  10. I doubt many people, inside the game or out, believe defense doesn't matter. But I think it's fair to believe current saber metric ideas about how to measure it, and the amount of difference it actually makes (particularly at some positions relative to others), is flawed. Therefore some of us pay little attention to those metrics, which isn't the same as thinking defense can't make a difference.
  11. I don't want to speak for Dave, but speaking for Dave, it appears Dave is saying its too late to stick a fork in Meyer, Dave thinks Meyer came to the bigs with a fork already firmly implanted. According to Dave.
  12. The Twins used to have a Roof. Phil.
  13. In case I forget, or don't get back here tonight...we will need help adding lineups to Saturdays' game thread. If you come here tomorrow, and don't see lineups posted, feel free to help out. Thanks
  14. Pelf on the positive side, along with honorable mention to the entire rotation. Mauer on the negative. Easily, for my money.
  15. SSS, but to me Buxton has looked largely unprepared for the show in multiple ways.
  16. today he shouldn't be in the conversation. There's no reason he couldn't put himself in the conversation later this summer.
  17. Hate to make too much of this, but Buxton seems to be a bit...fragile. Get Hicks back up here stat.
