    Well you could view it as having an exceptional throwing left fielder, or a not so exceptional throwing catcher? It would be in the eyes of the beholder. Or the point might be that the OF'er throws well enough that one would even bother to think of such a comparison.

    IF I am reading FanGraphs correctly, and thats a big IF last year Rosario had 16 assists, not sure if they were all clean throw outs. Suzuki had 14 CS. This year it's Rosaio 10 and Suzuki 12. Is that possible? For a LF to throw out more runners than a catcher? Again, I might be misinterpreting the graphs.

    Jham made some interesting points. When I saw him throw it, I thought ugh, go to second. But as it got there, he beat the runner by 5', but off the plate. With a catchable chest high throw. Results matter of course. But the guy who made the biggest mistake was the third base coach, sending home the non tying run with two outs, against probably the best LF arm in baseball in the last two years. The second mistake was the catcher (Murphy?) not getting into postion to catch it, and not catching it, the third mistake was the ball was offline, but not fatelly so. Who did what counts, Grossman and one of the Shaefer twins should have thrown to second. Rosario could have, and I am sure no one would have commented about the player trotting to the plate about the time Dozier had the ball. Molitor is not unhappy the the play went that way, he's unhappy that Rosario did it. Anyone care to guess what his reaction would have been if it had been Plouffe, Suzuki, Dozier, or Mauer?

    The Twins need pitching, and more than one. The only two ways to get the type of pitchers they need is trade a high end veteran, or a high end MLB prospect. Our list of high end veterans is not a list, it's a name. (Sanatanas age and contract won't bring much, he's a wash) As for prospects you probably could include Sano, Buxton, Kepler, and Polanco. On a sliding scale. I believe Sano and Buxton still have high MLB interests. Kepler will have admirers, likely more than we think. Polanco? He won't bring what Dozier would, but on this team he would fill our needs well. He likely can play second, better than SS, he seems a very solid hitter, and we really don't need power, we have plenty of that profile player. And he will be here when we are relevant (maybe) again. Notice I did not include the FA market. While the options above are open for debate, there is little need to include irrational fantasy in that discussion,

    I put out one of my usual thoughtful and concise spot on posts, and it disappeared into thin air. Bottom line, I agree. Is the announcing crew, parroting the coaching staff, i.e. Rosario. Plouffe completely blew that catch at 1B, most high school kids catch that because they don't stretch too early. He goes unmentioned. There are more examples, but anyway, there seems a correlation between the media comments, and the pronouncements from the coaching staff.

    And I shouldn't post this either, but your observation is open to interpretation.
  8. Platoon
    I think you misspelled "striper"?

    I have this nagging suspicion that the Twins are going to ruin the evening with an unexpected victory. They have a team record, within their grasp. Hopefully they sieze the moment !

    Love that movie.

    It's going to be a long might, I have already surpassed my quota of likes. In Canada I think you get 30% more likes for the dollar than here?
  12. Platoon
    For some of us, that is almost a prerequisite!
  13. Platoon
    Don't you guys award points, or at least gift certificates to Tom Nortons, for like punting through the uprights?
  14. Platoon
    I see what you did here.

    Love the show, but don't remember Pee Wee

    Would it be possible for your friend to fill us in on the rest.......

    I am so lost. Is this football or hockey?

    EVERYWHERE? Normally a little too much Cabernet Sauvignon will not have such an extreme effect..................

    You really want good rib, the McPrimeRib at the Golden Arches. But hurry, available for a limited time only.
  22. Platoon
    So how are you on broken mirrors and walking under ladders? Black cats?
  23. Platoon
    I spent a couple days in Regina on a football weekend, the town was packed. A very festive bunch I might add!

    #3. North might opine that you spelled Canadian incorrectly. IIRC, he prefers the spelling to be Canadien, when referring to Black Hearted Villains!

    Fortunately we don't have any like that now! (I apologize in advance, I could not help myself) .
