  1. Two big moves make the Twins a legit contender next year. 1--sign Moustakas or Hosmer (especially if there is no qualifying offer attached) 2--trade Gordon, two out of Gonsalves/Romero/Thorpe, and a bullpen prospect TB likes for Archer. Your rotation is Archer, Santana, Berrios, Mejia, Gibson Your lineup is Dozier, Mauer, Hosmer/Moustakas, Sano, Rosario, Kepler, Buxton, Polanco, Castro/Garver Your bullpen is still an issue, but the easiest one to fix, and as long as it's not a dumpster fire, 95 wins is a real possibility.
  2. Except that today's attendance is terrible for 29 other teams, but only somewhat lower than usual for Tampa. The Rays are last in attendance, at just over 15k per game. The Marlins are 28th at just over 20k. If you combine the two, they would still only be 10th. If it weren't for the new stadium in Miami, I would move one team to Orlando, and move the other to Nashville or Portland.
  3. So in other words, streaks only end if a player makes an unintentional out.
  4. The attendance for this game is 7,185. How does Tampa Bay still have a team?
  5. Rays Radio Promo: "The storied Rays-Red Sox rivalry adds another chapter". What?!?
  6. Until Mejia is healthy, I'm stone chiseling Slegers in.
  7. Rays Announcer: "Vargas fouls that one back, and right in front of...my eyebrows". Why did he choose eyebrows, rather than face, or nose, or eyes?
  8. Hmmm, that changes Slegers' line. A lot.
  9. I don't think anyone believes Colon is an ace or anything, but he has a sub-4 ERA with the Twins, and barring injury while be starting games for as long as the Twins continue to play them this year. I like what Slegers has done thus far as well, but he has only thrown 9 innings. It's clearly Slegers or Mejia for the fifth spot at this point, and neither will make starts should we get to a playoff series.
  10. By definition it should. This isn't horseshoes. Learn how to slide so you stay on the bag.
  11. Aren't you forgetting one (not-so) little thing? http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/112526.jpg
  12. Depends on if you're paid on commission.
  13. Not surprised by the Minier release at all. It took him 5 years to get to low A, where he posted a .551 OPS. It's the nature of baseball, there's always going to be flameouts. If he was smart with his $1.4M, he'll be just fine.
  14. Enns is not a dumpster pitcher, and is one of our minor leaguers. We got him in the Garcia trade.
  15. He's better in English than I would be in German.
  16. I didn't see it, was just going off of Cory and Danny's description. I know, I know, trust 'em at your own risk.
  17. If the Red Sox win tonight, we are TIED for the first wild card spot.
  18. Polanco hit a rocket right up the middle that the pitcher just happened to catch. Can't get mad at that.
  19. http://ihopbonita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FriedChickenDinner.png
  20. Holy Crap! Talk about taking one for the team!
  21. White Sox Announcer; "The Twins will go to their bullpen, and bring in Steve Busenitz".
  22. The Chicago announcers are commenting on how Molitor is being too hard on Buxton. They don't think Molitor should have put him on the bench just because he didn't have a great game yesterday. They clearly have checked out for the rest of the year.
  23. The best part of that caught stealing? Now Garcia (0 for the series) has to lead off the next inning.
