    I did something really unfair to a long time friend of mine, an ex military communications guy. I sent him an apology using a series of dots and dashes. That's right, I used... ... .... Remorse Code.

    Those two pitches to Sano simply cannot be called strikes. The strike zone was ridiculous last night too. Part of that was Garver, but the Cleveland starter was consistently getting 2 inches off the plate to every LH Twins hitter. Molitor needs to get thrown out when that stuff is happening. You can't just let the umpire get away with that.

    How the heck does Grossman not score on a double off the wall that takes a high hop, with two outs? UNHOOK THE PLOW!

    My game is off tonight. This seems too easy, and I got nothin.

    I have this Irish friend who is opening up a store featuring tables, chairs and such that are meant to be used outdoors here in sunny Arizona. He's calling his place "Patty O'Furniture."

    Whatever you think of Stewart's long term potential, I think it could not be more obvious he isn't ready to pitch in the major leagues in 2018.

    I'm guessing this isn't what the doctor ordered.

    If you have the game recorded, go back and watch how many strikes Garver lost for Gibson. Virtually every pitch at the knees, he would drag his glove down to the dirt as he caught the ball. Pitch called "ball 1" instead of "strike 1."

    Anyone wondering why pitchers don't want to throw to Garver should watch tonight's game. Gibson has lost at least a dozen pitches that Garver dragged out of the strike zone with poor technique and it has had a huge impact on the game.

    Spot on.

    Really, really good in comparison to all baseball players, world wide, professional and amateur, sure. Which is fine, but if you want a winning MLB team, really really good in comparison to other MLB players is the relevant standard. I also am skeptical that the business side of baseball very often prevents guys who are really good from getting to the big leagues. At least not for long, and those guys are usually young players whose MLB career is delayed for monetary and control reasons, not MiLB contract reasons.

    "Wish us Luck." It appears Falvine have lost the confidence of one Pat Reusse. As usual, there's a lot of truth in Pat's take, unpopular as it might be. http://www.startribune.com/twins-preach-sustainability-then-foster-silliness/491813121/

    There were two catchers on the 25 man when he was called up. He was recalled when Motter went on the DL. A few days later, Adrianza went on the DL, making the need for a utility player even more acute. He was sent back down when Motter was reinstated. My theory is he wasn’t recalled to be a BU catcher.

    You forgot to add Carew’s OPS+. Carew 137, Mauer 125. And I don’t know what relative age has to do with it.

    "Austin powers"...somebody is stealing my material.

    MLB outfielders are expected to be able to judge whether they can come in and make the play a foot off the ground, or pull up because the ball is going to bounce a foot in front of where they can get their glove. So I don't think it's "second guessing." Dive and come up short, turning a single into a HR? That's not bad luck, or an accident, or "one of those things." That's a mistake by the outfielder. Preventable, and not OK, and one of the things that differentiates between good, and poor, MLB defenders. The good ones don't guess...they know which play to try.

    Concur. Who'd we trade for?

    I remember as a very young child I felt as if I was a man trapped in a woman's body. ... And then I was born.

    Maybe Mauer can participate in training to learn how to hit a ball into the seating area above the batter's eye, too.
  23. USAFChief
    He did something before it was cool.

    Austin powers! Shagadelic!!

    I think he's a piece of next year's team. Hopefully, a good piece. He's certainly looked good and is an intriguing RH bat, which the Twins can use.
