    He's been reluctant to go all year, IMO.
  2. USAFChief
    Barring a big inning, I'm guessing Rogers gets the ninth.
  3. USAFChief
    shift happens.
  4. USAFChief
    Can't keep running Rogers out there for 6 and 7 out saves. They really need a couple arms that can be trusted with a late lead.
  5. USAFChief
    how about we turn to the book of Genesis...In the big inning...
  6. USAFChief
    he actually had three pitches thigh high on the inner half, right in the womp em zone.
  7. USAFChief
    RBI are the single most important stat in determining wins and losses. I dont care what the nerds say.
  8. USAFChief
    Sigh
  9. USAFChief
    your takes are always so nuanced and well thought out
  10. USAFChief
    Scratch May for the rest of the series.
  11. USAFChief
    Season. Over.
  12. USAFChief
    1 earned run.

    http://www.startribune.com/five-things-to-monitor-as-the-twins-emerge-from-the-all-star-break/512639012/ LENIII's take as the second half starts. The takes themselves aren't that interesting, if you ask me, but count the number of typos, poorly worded sentences, and flat out sloppy writing. This is the Star Tribune. Do they no longer employ editors? I find it disturbing to see the decline of the print news industry.

    Hey bird...ask Jim to prompt Falvine to get some GD bullpen help, stat.

    I'm pretty sure you can't take that literally, because there's only 25 roster spots on the big league team to fill. However, I would rarely let a big league need go unfilled if I could fill it using minor league talent. Today, for example, I'd happily trade Lewis for a good big league pitcher. I know he was the number 1 overall pick, but he's already lost value, and the more he continues to flail at SS, and put up substandard offense in A ball, the lower that will go. If he goes on to big league stardom, I wouldn't second guess, I'd just be happy that I found a way to help the 2019 team when it needed it. And at this point, the chances Lewis goes on to big league stardom are fairly low. If he could hit, there's a pretty strong chance he'd have shown it already. I realize I'm in the minority with this opinion, but it's one I hold and feel is proven out to be correct way more times than proven wrong. Relative to the original point, think what KC could have gotten for Bubba if they'd had the courage to trade him a year after drafting him.

    Not to mention Willie Banks, Kohl Stewart, Luke Bard, Tyler Jay, Alex Wimmers, Hudson Boyd, Levi Micheal, Shooter Hunt, Henry Sanchez (HENRY SANCHEZ??), and the hundreds of other highly touted minor leaguers who could have been dealt for actual, productive, living and breathing major league players, but weren't.

    I think the point being made was, trade for exceptional talent whenever you can get it, because it isn't often available, and you will never regret having great talent. If you trade for Verlander, and don't end up with a good team, you can always recoup the minor league lotto tickets you spent to get it. Who are the Twins going to get in 2019, that will be in the same ballpark as Justin Verlander?
  20. USAFChief
    It took a great deal of courage to open this article. I just knew what it was going to be about.
  21. USAFChief
    I think you're overstating your case. Everyone knows what a utility player is. Cesar Tovar says "hi."
  22. USAFChief
    Putting up a robust .806 OPS in the PCL this year, with a whopping 20 XBHs, and won't turn 27 until August!!1!
  23. USAFChief
    It's not Coke.

    heh. From the "Go Get Verlander" thread, 2017: Major League Ready, 21 Aug 2017: Bingo.It's short-sighted.Why on earth would you take on the last years of this type of contract and give up prospects.If you are going to spend the money associated with this type of SP, go get one next year that is 3-5 years younger and hold on to our prospects to boot.Don't spend $28M/yr and only get the years that they are very likely to decline.Go get someone still in their prime and keep the prospects. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/27239-go-get-verlander/?hl=verlander

    KC recalled former 2011 5th overall pick Bubba Starling, after 9 years of nondescript minor league play. Just another data point in my never ending quest to get the Twins to trade every minor leaguer they get their hands on for actual big league talent.
