    Once Berrios really relaxes, his stuff is going to make some hitters look silly.

    And the AC unit is under Hrbek's shirt! ;-)

    Twins are dogging these guys! Fanabulous!

    Vargas 2.0 takes a walk. Me likeee.

    Good lord, Kepler really does drill those low inside fastballs. Ball must be leaving his bat at 108mph. Line drive homers. Like a 2 iron.

    I gradually changed my mind about Meyer's potential over the past couple years. Used to think he might be a front-line starter. Now it's looking more and more like he's got too many physical problems and possibly some emotional hangups keeping him from making it. Nolasco's deal works well for both parties. He's finally healthy and pitching pretty well, so I expect the usual thing to happen - pitcher leaves Minnesota and suddenly throws like an all-star. On the other hand, Twins get a new lefty starter with fairly good numbers. Twins sure like lefty starters for some reason...

    Get ready for flashes of brilliance and frustrating inconsistency. Even great young pitchers rarely have it all right from the beginning. I kind of hope they send down Duffey. He needs to figure a few things out with less pressure. His 4-seam heater has no movement, so he needs to learn a cutter to bend left while his 2-seamer bends right. The 4-seam he can use for chin music, climbing the ladder, and pitch outs. I think Duffey has the physical talent to nick corners with fastballs, while his curves get whiffs and his change keeps 'em off balance. Meanwhile, bring on Jose!

    I feel like Karma is kicking my ass right now. Ouch.

    I really like Abad. Slow, tantalizing curves and changes, and a 93mph heater, which you may never see...

    You know who else was a crappy third baseman at the beginning of his career? Greg Nettles. Kid couldn't keep from blowing grounders, so the Twins traded him to the Yankees.

    Both guys threw out the runner by about six inches. That is NOT ironic, but it's a cool coincidence. What's ironic is when everybody on one team wears the same color shirt. What are the chances??
  12. jimbo92107
    Just imagine when he learns to throw hard.

    On the other hand, Max did pretty good just then... Huge grin.
  14. jimbo92107
    Agreed, but he could improve his form. Kepler doesn't use his back and torso enough. He needs to turn his back more, tilt his head, then use the bow action of his back to create a full-body whip action. The best I ever saw at that was Dave Parker of the Pirates. He would literally throw himself off his feet and finish with a shoulder roll on a throw to home. The ball came out of his hand even harder than Michael Cuddyer's.
  15. jimbo92107
    I hope Max Kepler was watching that. When he grows up and gets big and strong, maybe Max will throw baseballs like Adam Eaton just did.

    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.
  18. jimbo92107
    Beautiful pitching just met crappy hitting. Three K's in a row.
  19. jimbo92107
    Quintana threw that jug-handle curve, looked like it caught the corner but fooled the ump.
  20. jimbo92107
    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.
  21. jimbo92107
    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...
  22. jimbo92107
    Kepler is starting to show traces of style. I like it.
  23. jimbo92107
    Man, listen to Bert and Dick hawking Nunez for a trade...sigh.
  24. jimbo92107
    Nice inning. Everybody hitting the Orioles' relief staff.

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