  1. White Sox Announcer; "Minneapolis, Target Field. That's the address" Really? All of it?
  2. Maybe Smokey Joe Mauer should go back to taking first pitches.
  3. This made me laugh out loud. What's Jason Granite, I mean, Tyner been doing since he discovered the Fountain of Youth?
  4. White Sox Radio Announcer "The thing about Colon; he'll keep his balls downstairs until he thinks he can get you upstairs." That's aggressive.
  5. This is where Spanish comes in handy--I dub Granite 'Buckito'.
  6. I blame your wife too. Dammit Mrs. Charger!
  7. Listening to the White Sox Broadcast. They said the following. "Gimenez coming up with a .208 average and 6 homeruns. What does that mean? It means he's going to swing at the first pitch." Ummmm, what?
  8. On the scoring of a player getting thrown out at second--if you can't execute a good slide, you don't get credit for a double. Falvine might need to abduct Hildenberger for a game or two in order to keep Molitor from using him. If the Twins were willing to let Gibson have a start last week against the Sox, I don't know why that would be different after two pretty good starts. Finally, these game recaps keep getting better and better. I'd be surprised to find out any other site was producing this level of quality. The sincerest of cap tips to you Tom.
  9. I don't think you are a fan of Gonsalves, as you're being ridiculously critical. He just moved up a level, it's reasonable to get an adjustment period. As for the stats you provided, the big one that stands out to me is BABIP. A BABIP over .400 is not sustainable, so his one game WHIP is inflated. And you conveniently didn't mention his stellar 1.5 ERA, or 6/1 k/bb ratio. I wonder why.
  10. With strong seasons by Lewis and Javier, along with a passel of competent middle infielders already in the bigs (Dozier, Polanco, Escobar, and Adrianza), in calling it now--Nick Gordon gets traded this offseason in an attempt to get frontline starting pitching.
  11. His 7th inning was a bit shaky, Molitor may have thought he was running out of gas. In the bullpen, right now, I trust no one. However, I distrust some a lot more, but am much more optimistic about potentially one day trusting some others.
  12. Let's say the Twins lose 1-0 tonight, with Gibson going the distance. The run scores when a runner gets on by a passed third strike, a steal of second, takes third on a grounder to first, and then scores on a fly out where the outfielder throws up the line. Is it still Gibson/Falvine's fault?
  13. Garver's .928 OPS and 159 wRC+, compared to Vargas' .821 OPS and 129 wRC+ at the same level.
  14. Super important for Big Sexy to be on today. With the DH tomorrow, having a fully rested bullpen would be huge.
  15. You mentioned Bert and analysis in the same sentence without the use of a negative. That's never happened before.
  16. As a Twins fan, I haven't the foggiest on how to bring someone home.
  17. http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/d3/d3b0d7ba8d384bd9fb18034e7a767307a5955770c267d242244469ba29d7a7bb.jpg
  18. I mean, that's not fair at all. T Ball doesn't have walls.
  19. Did you say Perkins warming, or Perkins warning?
  20. Damn, Buxton is turning into a real game changer.
  21. Ok. Past politics or future politics instead?
