    I am not sure what you are insinuating, but there is a definite correlation between watching Twins games and BDSM. In fact there's even a chance the scars from BDSM heal quicker?

    I had not checked the lineups until I saw this. By the end of the week, Molly will tell you how difficult it is to find AB's for the call ups! Lol. We also solved the problem of anyone attempting to throw out a runner at the plate late in the game! (Or early in the game, or in the middle of the game, or after the game........)

    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?

    Which is in essence a credit to our scouting, acquisition and coaching staffs. Not every team could say that!

    Between the 6th and 7th inning that Gossman was trying to keep the Twins I'm this game all by himself? For posterities sake I have locked that into my DBR, and am going to donate it to the HOF when RB is indicted!
  8. Platoon
    It does to me, but that's not going to help your argument at all!

    From the Webster: Productive Out. v,n. Any out which Dick needs to justify, the last out made in a Twins uniform by any of a plethora of Indy league and AAAA players.
  10. Platoon
    IF this was June, or IF we were within less than periscope distance from the 8th WC spot, I would be right with you. But we ain't. I imagine I could use the same rationale for Grossman and Schaefer, but I think the reasoning behind their presence is far more delusional. They actually think these two guys have a place here in 2017. Not so for the Aussie.

    Its a tough crowd tonight!
  12. Platoon
    Aww c'mon. It's kind of cool. I would much rather see him get his reward, than waste time on seriously evaluating Shaefer and RB. There's nothing lost here, and he isn't the reason anyone else wasn't called up.
  13. Platoon
    The Sano AB must be one of the more bizzare I have seen.
  14. Platoon
    does it have to be specifically in that order? There's little enough suspense at Twins games as it is.
  15. Platoon
    You are correct sir! And that tune will be the old Dandy Don Classic. "TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, THE PARTIES OVER!
  16. Platoon
    Catching up on TiVo, and saw RB hammer that single to RF, in classical Twins fashion. . Regardless, I started counting on my fingers, got to 5, and started over again, and still got only to 5! Since I know how to count to ten on my fingers, I knew something was completely f^*k*d up! So I checked the lineups, and WTF, RB is our 5 hitter? . Who'd a thunk it. Now I know why someone would yell in outer space!
  17. Platoon
    Ah, and this is the same decision maker that can't find AB for ABW, because we need to evaluate RG and whichever Shaefer we happen to have this week?
  18. Platoon
    He is certainly the Twins MVP! Once Nolasco went to LA, it was a forgone conclusion.

    I was very disappointed that you failed to mention the theft of jewels from the Drake bus. $3M? What in the name of college athletics is an athletic team from Iowa doing with three mil of jewelry on a bus. It would be different if it was Duke, or Stanford. But Drake? This keeps up, the next thing you know wrestlers will be selling prescription drugs out of the locker room!

    Runs scored isn't necessarily the answer. When were they scored? Winning 13-6 and 12-2. That's 15 useless runs. While I know some of it averages out, this team often seems to pile on runs on the good days. While this is an eyes only observation, I do know that you can't save runs for the next game. .

    This will likely go over like a lead dirigible, but I have a question, or two. They don't throw agressive 3-4 hitters first pitch FB cookies down the middle of the plate often. Dozier gets a remarkable amount of FB for a noted FB hitter. I have no idea how to look up the numbers on this, but for example the other night Dozier got FB and homered, and Sano got a full diet of breaking stuff from the same pitcher and struck out. I don't think anyone would accuse either of being fond of breaking stuff. I just think if you move Dozier into a power slot, he gets a different look. I know he hit there a few times earlier in the year, but I don't know what he did in those AB's,

    I would switch 8 and 9 around if it was me!

    Someone in the FO should have a plaque made, quoting the late great Denny Green. "They were who we thought they were" (or something on that order). It could be the new mantra for analyzing 30 yr old AAAA players.

    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 wonder if they were using the Canadian radar guns by mistake?
