  1. Who names their kid least, and won't even capitalize it for him? And why are you smiling at him? Just being nice, or is he doing something interesting?
  2. Fun fact--Richard III was first Richard, Duke of Gloucester. And just like Billy Madison trying to spell "rock",
  3. Living in Seattle as I do, At Bat is definitely worth it. It's a great way to ensure you don't miss any of Cory and Dazzle's....ummmm....inanity, shall we say.
  4. I personally like to call him SpongeRob GrossPants. Someone better than I with photoshop can surely do something with this.
  5. Dozier for De Leon and Alvarez, settle for Buehler if you have to, or even take back some salary to get all three. It's an immediate upgrade to the rotation, and Alvarez can team with Romero to be a potential second ace in 2-4 years.
  6. I'm with Leviathan. They aggressively outbid other teams for a player who struggles with traditional stats, but looks good when viewed as a platoon hitter/advanced metric defender. If you can find one instance of TR & Co. doing that, I'll eat my shoe.
  7. It would appear Santana and Berrios have had some sort of body-swapping experience.
  8. It could still get worse. If Bonnes is correct, and the CBA is up and gets re-negotiated over the winter, they could take away the larger bonus pool for the team picking #1, and rob us of the biggest advantage of picking first.
  9. Oh, also, any reason Grossman can't play in the outfield again, so Sano can get more reps? I give up.
  10. I'm no baseball savant or anything, but maybe getting more tape on Kennys should be of higher priority than increasing the size of Beresford's participation trophy.
  11. Oh, definitely, Sano should play some third the rest of the year, and when he's not at third, Polanco should be. That of course assumes Molitor has the stones and/or the direction from the FO to sit at least one of Mauer or Plouffe every night. Somehow I doubt it.
  12. I don't like the idea of Sano playing third less than a week after an MRI. Negative or not, his elbow wasn't right, he's already had TJ, and it's a lost season--why risk anything? If you didn't want Mauer in the field, just put Vargas at first, since he needs to be further evaluated anyways.
  13. Can anyone else envision, in a couple of years, the Twins go to the ninth with a lead: the brights are turned down, the videoboard off. Then the PA announcer shouts "Light's out!" as some rocking song blares, the lights come back on, and Pat sprints out from the pen. Would that, or would that not, be the greatest closer entrance ever?
  14. Number 2 and 3 hitters are 19 for 37 this year against Hughes, with 11 XBH.
  15. Mauer 0 for his last 13. Someone get him some new sunglasses.
  16. Upton has 60 strikeouts in 148 AB's this year. That makes Rosario look disciplined.
  17. Of course it would. After all, Chief is Cain.
  18. I had no idea Pat Proft posts on Twins Daily!
  19. Bert talking about pitching tents is...disturbing.
  20. Catchers batting .158 should definitely hit monster homeruns, right?
  21. Dick: "a homerun here scores 4". I'll just let that one sit.
