  1. I don't think Giles has been inconsistent, other than ERA. And ERA isn't a great way to evaluate relievers, IMO. He's got control, high K rates, low hit rates. Save conversion rate over 90 percent. We could use him at the back end of the pen.
  2. It's a serious post. I'm told we were blown away by the offer of the Pressly trade. Use that to acquire Giles.
  3. OK, but what if we stipulate the triple root canal is without novocaine? That'd make you think long and hard about your choice, I wager.
  4. OK. trade the two stiffs we got for Pressly.
  5. https://www.songkick.com/concerts/32547224-def-leppard-at-target-field Indeed.
  6. Joey Gallo is the first player in MLB history to reach 100 HRs for his career...before reaching 100 singles for his career. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/05/08/joey-gallo-becomes-first-player-to-reach-100-career-homers-before-100-singles/ **** "TTO"
  7. Man, judging by that gif, he releases it exactly the same, time after time after time.
  8. You and your "facts" and "research" and reliance on data. pfft.
  9. Jorge Polanco was 3-3 last night before the Toronto 9 hole hitter had a plate appearance.
  10. Ehire Adrianza has no trade value. Every team has an almost exact copy or two of Adrianza in AAA. If not, they can get one cheap if needed for nothing of any real value.
  11. I'd love to have Stroman, but not at the cost of Graterol. And I'm certainly not a prospect guy...I think most all prospects are wildly overrated, especially pitching prospects. I just don't think Stroman represents that much of an upgrade to cost the Twins one of their few realistic pitching prospects in the higher minors. He's had one nice year, 2 years ago. It's possible he's back to healthy and good this year, but I don't gamble Graterol on that. Trade Graterol for a guy who starts game 2 in the postseason. The Jays can have Gonsalves for Stroman.
  12. save yourself a lot of money and trouble, and buy a cheap, digital electric smoker (upright). Use wood chips. Nobody will ever know you didn't go to all the trouble of having an actual fire, and you can set the temp once, and it stays there all by itself forever. And the easiest thing to do: buy a whole chicken for 5 or 6 bucks, smoke it, and enjoy the rewards.
  13. Pressly? I'll see myself out.
  14. Sano's 20 day rehab period expires May 20th. I seriously doubt he's optioned at that point. He'll be back with the Twins the 20th in Anaheim, is my guess.
  15. done. Nice post, btw.
  16. 102 Total XBH - (51 3B - 21 2B - 30 HR) 51 triples? did I read that correctly? I'm...skeptical. I DO like Polanco's start, however. He's been fantastic, and he has taken quality PAs almost every time up, which seems sustainable, even if I doubt he's a .988 OPS guy long term.
