    Thing is--Sano already has a nickname. It's Bocaton.

    If we're looking for a good-hitting 1B at 1:1, why wouldn't we just take the guy (McKay) who is the better hitter, and tell him he's getting drafted first overall so long as he agrees to give up pitching? While only striking out 9 times is impressive, the fact that Smith's OBP is 60 points lower than McKay's suggests a big reason for the lower number of strikeouts is that he makes more weak contact. Color me not interested. I don't care that Sano strikes out 35% of the time, because he gets on 40% of the time, and murders the ball when he does hit it.

    I'm completely fine with the Twins taking McKay in the first round. As long as its with pick 35 or 37.

    When can we see Busenitz? Great numbers in AAA, he deserves a shot.
  5. Cap'n Piranha
    Are you honestly saying he was SO overworked that he couldn't recover in 5 whole months? If so, that's not overworked, that's injured. I think it's much more likely, because it's a much simpler explanation, that he's just not that good this year.
  6. Cap'n Piranha
    Now I know I can't possibly be in hell. Because that game ended.
  7. Cap'n Piranha
    In only 3 games!?!
  8. Cap'n Piranha
    If we somehow win this game here in the ninth, it's the greatest comeback in baseball history, right? I mean it has to be.
  9. Cap'n Piranha
    A series of bloops, duck snorts, and Merkle hoppers from our offense, with some great anti-BABIP and strand rate work from the pitching staff. After all, if you win only 4 out of every 14 games, you're a 46 win team. I would say it's fair to say this team over the past 3 days has looked about 13 wins worse than last year's edition.

    Busenitz and Hildenberger should both be up without a doubt. They both have ERA's around 2, WHIPs under 1, and k/9's above 9.I If you wanted to get crazy, and at this point, why not, you could also bring up Melotakis and Rosario from Chatty. They both have ERA's under 2.5, WHIPs under 1, and k/9's at/just below 9

    This. So much this. Anyone clamoring for the FO to give up prospects in order to try and fix the bullpen needs to have their head examined. We are nowhere near ready to compete with the Astros, or probably the Yankees/Red Sox. Before this series, I thought the Twins would need 10 games to get 4 wins against the Stros. Now I think it's more like 13 or 14.

    I don't know about that--from the start of the season through yesterday, there have been 56 days, and he's made 21 appearances, so he's averaging more than a day of rest in between appearances; he's also only pitched back-to-back 5 times this year. Until this past Sunday and Monday, he had never thrown more than 28 pitches in any two day span, and 44 is his max for any 3 day span--that's not a crazy workload. By the end of his 6th appearance (which was on the 14th day of the year), his ERA was over 8, so fatigue is not it, unless he can't be allowed to pitch more than every 3rd to 4th day, which is a problem. Let's just call this what it is--Pressly is a Blind Squirrel.

    Also, even the Astro announcers have become bored. They are recounting how Jason Wheeler's wedding was in the NY Times, and then proceeded to recap a news story about a box truck and a fish truck colliding.
  14. Cap'n Piranha
    According to the Houston announcers, the Astros have now set a franchise record for most runs in a 3 game series.
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    I mean, he was at .147/.256/.176 for the month of April, and before today's game was .250/.311/.382 in May. He's made great strides this month, and is no longer an offensive liability, particularly given how amazing his defense is.
  16. Cap'n Piranha
    Apparently Joe Nathan is now available--our bullpen woes are solved!
  17. Cap'n Piranha
    Buck gets that average back above .200!
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    We're comin'.....
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    Castro grounds out--I win the bet!!!
  20. Cap'n Piranha
    Gameday claims Gonzalez just flied into an unassisted double play to Kepler. I don't understand--did Kepler catch the ball, and then race home to tag Correa out personally? Otherwise, it was not unassisted...
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    I'll take that bet. Loser has to like all of the winner's posts for the rest of this thread.
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    Looks like Paulino found the loophole--just miss his bat.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    I'm listening to the Astro broadcast, and their color guy, Steve Sparks, is claiming there is visible cottonwood spores in the air today? True, or not true?
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    The lineup today has only 3 players over a .700 OPS.
  25. Cap'n Piranha
    Please, Twins, don't take the "safe" pick. Please.
