  1. Now it’s time for that event I foreshadowed earlier… it’s time for some Strat-o-matic Baseball! >>>>>>>>I bought one, but they didn't send along the cord to hook it into my box, so I took it back! Only a complete fool would send out a computer game without all the hardware!
  2. You're right, a bad back doesn't go away. I have had one far longer than I haven't. But if you have one, you also know certain things aggravate it, and are to be avoided. And also a minor tweak can be babied for a few days and disappear. I dertainly don't know what Mays back issues consist of, but it's become apparent that the grind of RP does not sit well with his back, so it's time to see if something else does, because this just ain't working.
  3. Please NO! His arm is pathetic. There's a good chance Ben Revere could have thrown that guy out last night. He runs lousy routes to balls. And it's becoming apparent that he thinks of every AB as a walk waiting to happen. He is the mirror image of Rosario at the plate. I have never understood how he even draws a walk. He is not a good enough hitter to strike fear into a pitcher, so make him hit the ball. That's a .250 OBP, tops. Walking him is borderline ridiculous. I know DanSan is toxic on TD, but I would take my chances on his upside over RG any day, plus he can fill in in the IF if needed.
  4. May was very clear the very first time he was injured as a reliever, that the relief regimen did not allow the stiffness he experienced to dissipate. He claimed that as a starter the every fifth day rotation allowed him to recoup. Due to his relatively candid dislike for his "demotion" to the pen, I think a lot of people, including possibly the Twins considered it either overstated, or complete BS. Maybe it's time to consider it could be true!
  5. I have always found it odd, that when a poster expresses an opinion, it can be perceived as without inside knowledge. And then you have the guys inside, who cannot or will not tell the whole story, because doing so would cause their access and sources to dry up. And even when you have the rare article by a veteran writer, say a Reusse or even a Souhan, it is often cast as the ravings of a malcontent. Bottom line, is that's your three choices. and all three of them lack some form of complete information.
  6. I truly wish I had went for lunch before I read this. Now I am going to miss out on the meat loaf commercial!
  7. I am not as versed in the abilities of MiLB catchers as some are here. But I always hear that Turners defense is MLB ready? If so, could we not have a good defensive catcher, and let our 6 corner IF and DH types carry the offense. I am far from a Suzuki fan, but watching Centeno whiff on the low balls over and over, mitigates some of my Suzuki angst. It's hard to throw the low breaking ball late in the count, when you have no idea if your catcher will block it.
  8. . For a true 'stache, we need a gif of Hercule Poirot!
  9. pal·pa·bleˈpalpəb(ə)l/ adjective able to be touched or felt. "the palpable bump at the bridge of the nose" synonyms: tangible, touchable, noticeable, detectable Almost anything. Ex. 'Trevor Plouffes lack of foot speed is palpable'! (To almost anyone but Trevor Plouffe)
  10. I didn't really think it was palpable, but it's not often you get to use palpable!
  11. . I have always wanted to understand the Candien language! .
  12. I think you spelled 'eh' wrong?
  13. I really didn't like this. (It's math) but I thought if I hit like, someone would see it and think I knew what you were talking about!
  14. Use Delta, a lot of their planes are empty right now!
  15. Huge fan here of both Jekyl and Hyde. Depending on my mood, I waffle back and forth over which is my favorite.
  16. Twins Daily is either for the better, or for the worse because of that teacher. Everyone will have to form their own opinion!
  17. I am just catching up on the GT, but if I find anymore posts of this nature I am notifying a moderator! . if I find a need to speak in a foreign tongue, I will speak Canadien!
  18. I too have dreaded the return of the Plouffe! Not so much because of Plouffe the player, but of Plouffe the position. His injury did stymy whatever chance there was of trading him, but the fact remains this team is no closer now than it was on April 1st over what to do about our plethora of DH/corner guys!
  19. After.a few more comments like Par. 2, you might want to add a third time frame........ After Marriage! As to road trip food. If you are into Chinese food, best Egg Foo Young ever at a sad looking little place in Prairie du Chien, yet another reason to trust the locals when they tell you where to eat!
  20. But there is a race to sell tickets! .
  21. That would be youthful, offense oriented baseball for you.
  22. I keep seeing it but not believing it. your better off bouncing the ball 4 times.
  23. I would hope that no FO would even remotely consider trading Buxton. He is what? 23? He is already one of the top defensive OF in baseball. As for sending him down to AAA, I wouldn't. He has hit at that level already, there are very few SP on the Twins staff who do not need an elite CF.
