    I found out something very important today: Don't put eggshells and celery into your garbage disposal.

    Congratulations to Eduardo Nunez. He's gone from a terrible situation in NY to frustration in Minneapolis, fought through it to emerge finally as an All-Star infielder with a hot bat. I hope he has a great time in San Francisco.

    Beautiful pitching just met crappy hitting. Three K's in a row.

    Quintana threw that jug-handle curve, looked like it caught the corner but fooled the ump.

    Brian Dozier's trade value will be at its highest peak any moment now... wait for it... NOW! Trade Dozier, Polanco to 2B. Makes sense from player control, career arc, etc. Do it now, and Polanco will be a regular by the time the rest of the new wave gets comfortable.

    I saw that throw. You're right, Nunez still gets his feet a little screwed up when he has an extra count to wait. Sure helps to have a serious glove at first base. On the other hand, Park blasted 3 homers in AAA today...

    Kepler is starting to show traces of style. I like it.

    Man, listen to Bert and Dick hawking Nunez for a trade...sigh.

    Nice inning. Everybody hitting the Orioles' relief staff.

    The whole article I kept thinking, "Why don't they make this guy a coach."

    Great athlete, good student of the game. Kepler appears to be gradually gaining confidence in all aspects of his game at the mlb level. Unlike Rosario's first season, Kepler's approach at the plate is far more cautious, willing to take a walk, with a much smaller swing zone. This bodes very well for avoiding the sophomore slump suffered by Rosario and Vargas, both of whom were sent to AAA to reduce their high K rates. I don't see a major weakness in Kepler's hitting approach. His swing is quick, flat, and powerful. He appears very poised, before and after the swing. He doesn't fall off against lefties, and has been hitting righties about the same. In the field, Kepler is getting solid after some shaky moments early on. He is much better now at playing the carom off the right field wall, and he is getting very good at measuring his angles to fly balls. He still looks a little sloppy fielding grounders, but as he accumulates practice reps, I expect his grounder flubs will become rare. His arm appears to be about average, though I think his accuracy will improve on his throws to second, so he might catch a few guys trying to stretch singles. On the bases, Kepler so far has been pretty conservative, but his minor league career showed potential. He seems to be a technique-oriented player, so I suspect he will learn to steal bases about the way we saw with young Joe Mauer. Not as adventurous as Rosario, but probably a better percentage.

    You used 'Kurt Suzuki' and 'white hot' in the same sentence. You know what that means, right? AXEBATS FOR EVERYBODY!!!!
  13. jimbo92107
    Disagree. Park's reduced distance and exit velocity should have been dead giveaways that he was nursing some kind of injury. Meanwhile, Joe Mauer's reduced distance and exit velocity are due to...?
  14. jimbo92107
    Twins still don't have a closer, but today it didn't matter. Good win, all eleven hours of it.
  15. jimbo92107
    Great day for Eduardo Nunez. What a year he's having.
  16. jimbo92107
    Suzuki had time to JOG to second base between the hit and the throw back to third from C.
  17. jimbo92107
    I'm beginning to think Max Kepler could be pretty good.
  18. jimbo92107
    If jinxes exist, I can't imagine a much better one than what Roy Smalley just said.
  19. jimbo92107
    Good on Tyler Duffey. Fought like heck to find his form; just managed to keep Texas from scoring.
  20. jimbo92107
    I kept saying, "Change up, change up..." Finally he threw one. Ha!
  21. jimbo92107
    How many called third strikes on final outs today? So far I count seventeen...
  22. jimbo92107
    How odd. Duffey has discovered a new pitching strategy. Throw it all over the place with unstable mechanics for 4 innings, then find your regular stuff around the 5th inning.
  23. jimbo92107
    It's like there's a rubber band about to snap. How long can Duffey keep up the shutout?
  24. jimbo92107
    Ha! The catcher thought it was three outs! This game be dragon, baby.
  25. jimbo92107
    I wanna see Kep mash one.
