    I suppose the old self unloading blower type would cause to many injuries? .
  2. Platoon
    No. Rumor has it that he makes very tasty burgers on the gas grill!

    I wouldn't have challenged this....

    Since I had back surgery Tues I am on a nice supply of Opiods. They make my back happy. Called the Doc 10 min ago and asked if I could take enough Opiods to make Lynn and Garver look like a MLB battery? He said only if I was in W. VA or KY.

    This is one of the 25%. I am not sure Garver can hit, but I am sure he cannot hit well enough to carry that glove. He is wandering into Robbie G territory.

    Oh for gods sake, now he clean missed a pitch? JHC
  7. Platoon
    I have noticed I agree with you about 75% of the time.
  8. Platoon
    Good point. This would have required Garver to set up to make a catch and sweep tag. Like you said, he gave up on it and went for the standard knock it down.

    We worked endlessly to defense that play in LL... In keeping with the concept of the positive GT, I will note that I have seen stronger more accurate throws to the plate in that situation.
  10. Platoon
    .........your point?
  11. Platoon
    That was my first thought. And my second through infinity thoughts also. I don't understand this, he was only a couple thousand games, give or take 600 more short of Cal Ripkens streak. Now he has to start all over.

    I had heard the Indian BP was torch like. Thay are more like an explosives expert who smokes on the job! . They are not unbeatable at all. .

    I know someone will blow this comment up with some silly stat, but given the choice of whom I wanted up with the game on the line in the last year I think I would take Esco over Dozier. He can be an aggravatingly tough out, whereas Dozier if you make you pitches your chances are fairly good.

    Sometimes I wonder if MLB pitchers pay attention to who they are pitching to. I never understood nibbling the corners for RG. He isn't going to hit enough to hurt you, and walking guys who stand there looking for one always drove me bat bleep crazy.

    They have signs in our building, "No Running in the Elevators"

    I always use a telescope on a tripod when I peek into the neighbors windows. My arms get tired holding binoculars that long.

    Limos lining your street is not normal?
  18. Platoon
    In baseball he would be .750

    Rain dances and washing my car are also very effective. .
  20. Platoon
    Don't get me wrong. It would be great if they could move the rain time. . It has to be very disruptive to move the starting time of the games for all those fans and vendors.
  21. Platoon
    I don't think the weatherman can actually move the start time of the rain. As far as I know it's just an educated guess.
  22. Platoon
    It's just a matter of time.

    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.
  24. Platoon
    Is there another pressure Dozier is dealing with? The contract year one? First off FA's value slumped last year, so I imagine he sees the possibility of millions flying out the window. Secondly trying to do too much to make sure he gets a payday, likely his last chance for the big one. Something's wrong, he's even starting to miss his high FB mistakes.
  25. Platoon
    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.
