    You're viewpoints have embiggened my knowledge sir.
  2. Cap'n Piranha
    Do you think maybe Perkins gives Fien a cut every time he gets a save, therefore Fien knew he had to give up 1-3 runs?
  3. Cap'n Piranha
    His price just went up to 4/49. That extra million is because he doesn't use batting gloves, Dougie Baseball-style.
  4. Cap'n Piranha
    Because the kids need new shoes!

    The Twins broadcasters just reminded me of one of my favorite stats--Glann Williams started his career with a 13 game hitting streak...which is still active. Glenn Williams has never played in an MLB game in which he did not get a hit.

    Gameday still on the fritz (claims 3-2 O's), unless Dozier's homer was so impressive it counted for 2 runs for both teams.
  7. Cap'n Piranha
    Gameday is also telling me the current play is "With Brian Dozier batting, Eric Fryer steals (1) 2nd base". Thank goodness I paid to get all radio broadcasts. Best $20 I ever spent.

    I hate the concept of automatically taking on 3-0. Every hitter, no matter who they are, should always be looking for a specific pitch they can hit on 3-0. It's way too easy to take a strike on 3-0, then foul the next pitch off, and boom, 3-0 is 3-2, no more hitter's advantage. There's so much talk about not giving away outs, I have no idea why it would be any better to give away strikes.

    I would be very interested to see ABWII's RBI conversion percentage; that is, how often does he get an RBI when he has a guy on second and/or third base relative to other players.

    I think Roger's could be an ok #5 too, but that shouldn't be something the Twins need any time soon. Barring trades, collapses in other pitcher's abilities, or Rogers kicking it into a higher gear, he won't get above 7 or 8 on the SP depth chart. By the time Nolasco/Hughes/Santana are off the books, Berrios/Hu/Gonsalves should be ready. By the time Gibson and May have gotten too expensive, guys like Batts/Stewart/Thorpe/Jorge/Rosario will hopefully be ready. Any/all of those guys could completely fall apart, but Rogers will need at least 3 or 4 of those guys to fall in value to get to a point where he's any more than a spot starter/AAAA pitching depth. That being said, I think he'd be a great LOOGY, with the chance to add some velocity and become a late inning guy. I think that's where he'll provide the most value to the Twins.

    All good dude!
  12. Cap'n Piranha
    The best part was when he cut off Duensing. Terry Ryan should take notes.

    Is there some sort of Twin-of-the-month Pin-up calendar that hasn't been announced yet? If so, I think I know who has dibs on the 5th month.
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    Nowhere in this thread has anyone suggested that Rogers is our #5 next year. I suggested that Duffey should be the #5 if Pelfrey isn't brought back and some other pitcher is traded, and another poster said that Duffey and maybe Rogers are better than our past 5's, as in, Taylor Rogers is maybe better than Yohan Pino, Kris Johnson, etc. If Taylor Rogers is our #5 starter next year, he either found a completely different gear, or a lot of things have gone terribly awry.
  16. Cap'n Piranha
    I think Seth was saying a lot would have to happen to make Berrios the #5. For contractual reasons, Hughes, Santana, and Nolasco aren't going anywhere. Gibson and May have had success in the bigs. That's 5 right there, without even bringing up Milone. Furthermore, Berrios has 2 starts at the AAA level, and while I fully believe he'll be better long-term than Duffey, Duffey was solid in AAA last year, and even better this year--he's earned a shot, and should get that shot before Berrios at this point. If JO picks it up, and Duffey stumbles, switch that, but right now Duffey is ahead, IMO.
  17. Cap'n Piranha
    Roger's .296/.352/.423 line against righties, combined with a sub 2/1 k/bb ratio suggests he's not exactly great at getting righties out. I'd leave him starting in AAA for now, and if ROR can't cut it, make him the LOOGY. Duffy should be kept in the AAA rotation, as he's probably #7 on the SP depth chart, now that Nolasco is getting surgery. When the Twins (hopefully) move on from Pelfrey after this year, and trade a starter, he's set to be our #5 in 2016.

    I have no doubt Oswaldo could do that, but his current career trajectory indicates the light bulb hasn't gone on yet.
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    Aaron Hicks playing well bodes ill for Oswaldo's chance to wear a Twins uniform next year.
  20. Cap'n Piranha
    I believe that had more to do with Trevor Plouffe's base on balls (he was literally walking the line).
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    Dear Phil Hughes, Please stop giving up home runs. That is all. Thank you, A frustrated fan
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    As far as I know, Ozzie has not been banned from Target Field, so worst case scenario, he can always buy a ticket.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    Sounds promising for burgeoning pull power hitter J.P. Mauer.
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    That is eminently logical, thank you sir. That being said, under that definition, a sacrifice fly would be a sacrifice hit; Are we really saying Frank Thomas had 10,000+ AB's, and never hit a deep fly ball out with a runner on third and less than 2 outs?
  25. Cap'n Piranha
    Isn't a sacrifice hit an oxymoron? I mean, in baseball terminology, a sacrifice implies you are out, but you advance/score a teammate. A hit implies you safely reach at least first base. So would a sacrifice hit be you get a single, and purposely try to advance to second, drawing a throw that you know will get you out, but also draws attention away from the runner rounding third and heading home?
