    IIRC there was much talk at the ASG break last season that the Twins were going to start seeing the weaker half of the AL teams in the second half of 2017. Would this have anything to do with their uptick in offensive output during the later part of last year? Me thinks it might have. As for Dozier. I remember last year when some were wondering whether Ervin S. was a league ace. He isn't, but we were so desperate for one some considered that a possibility. The same goes for Dozier. A decent player, seems a good clubhouse guy, and like a micro brewery has turned himself into a nice little niche product. Power hitting second baseman. But to me he falls into the 'but if' descriptive. 'But if' Brian Dozier is your offensive leader, how good is your offense? He's a nice solid ball player. But he won't carry you to the top of the mountain.

    I always thought the stolen base was underutilized in all levels of baseball. 70%+ chance of success is pretty decent. I doubt sacrifices work that often. But it's also a very clear, cut and dried, out given up when it doesn't work. Thin skinned, tenuous, or timid managers won't try it that often.

    . That's nothing, it would be far more impressive if he was 95 yrs old and throwing FB at 41mph.

    Never a doubt......

    Don't worry, he just gave that one up so its a save situation.

    When we used to sit in the shop and drink beer, one of the guys wore his cap like Rodney..... The more beer he drank, the further the cap went. We could get a very close approximation of his BAC by the cap angle. .

    If they had scored like that when we played my fielding average would have easily been in the .700 area

    Those blue seats are known to be soft spoken but very knowledgable baseball fans...

    That's the general direction of the stratosphere........ . But he came up short.

    So, 538 is telling us we might win? Or we might lose? I like when I don't know what's gonna happen.

    Old Man River has also passed on! I heard it was from age related complications.

    Are you sure your cat was laying on your keys for an hour? Or did you simply forget where you put your keys? Or did you forget your cat did feel sorry. Or did you forget that you don't have a cat?
  15. Platoon
    Yes, please just keep it to Berrios and his silly two run homers.....

    I am normally a "let the high ceiling prospect play" type of guy. For this reason: If Buxton and Sano don't pan out, it basically means the Twins are going to be mired in mediocrity land for a long time. I don't mean they will be terrible, just ordinary. Buxton and Sano are our chance to exceed that level. Garver isn't in that category. He may be at his ceiling. 27 years old, average bat, and bad hands do limit him.

    It's thinking like that, that keeps one from winning MOY. .
  18. Platoon
    And why I am not close to giving up on Buxtons bat.

    I have asked, "if that was a strike, why did you move your glove"? Framing to me is turning the glove so the ball shows to the plate. Catching the ball going to the plate AS you catch it, not after, , softly with little movement.

    They're not wearing socks.

    Tonight he has dropped a strike, dropped a pitch on a steal, and missed an outside pitch completely. It wasn't with someone on, but it was still reachable. And this is in two innings.

    OH my! I had assumed GT were clothing optional? I knew when you commented in the more formal settings of Blogs and Forums suitable dress was required. Hmmmm, maybe that explains why my wife quit watching the Twins?

    I had no idea that they chiseled jokes this long on stone tablets? [ ]
  24. Platoon
    Me first! 'No'
  25. Platoon
    No but you can type it. But the real question is this: 'Cause negativity stinks.' Would that be a double negative?
