    I’m not sure why Magill didn’t go yesterday—seems like he would’ve been a good option to soak up some innings to protect the pen.
  2. Cap'n Piranha
    I’m sure they would know more than me, just makes me nervous is all.

    Royce Lewis is only 19, and a cornerstone of this organization’s future. Why is he playing through a knee issue at low A?
  4. Cap'n Piranha
    Esco is 23rd in the league in WAR, and 17th in OPS. He’ll be 30 before next year starts. This is his payday, so if you think he’s signing a two year deal for less aav than what Lance Lynn got this year, you’re crazy. I assume the conversation starts at 3/45, and you could probably get him for anywhere from 2/36 to 5/65. I’d go with 3/45, and call it a day with Mr. Dozier.

    Don’t look now, but Eddie Rosario in the month of June has more homeruns than strikeouts. Not coincidentally, and perhaps more importantly, he also has more walks than strikeouts in June.

    Trout this year against Twins pitching: 2/22 with no XBH, 6 walks, 7 strikeouts, .091/.310/.091. Best player in baseball my butt.

    The Mariners might be even iffier than the Halos—17 of their 20 wins are against teams at or below .500 (they’ve won 5 of 7 against Cleveland). Their wins against teams with winning records is 1 of 2 against SF, 1 of 4 against Houston, and 1 of 2 against Toronto. This isn’t to say the Twins will get a wild card spot for sure, I just think it’s way too early to have a Central-or-Bust mindset. And while I agree I want no part of a one game play-in in NY or Boston, even if we win the central, assuming a Yankee/Sox victory in the play-in game, we’re getting the Yankees, Sox, or Stros in the first round.

    Let’s hold off on anointing the angels just yet. They have 5 wins over Oakland, 3 over Texas, 3 over KC, and 3 over Baltimore. That’s 14 of their 22 wins over teams that are a combined 53-93–essentially the 2016 Twins. They have 6 wins against teams above .500, including 2 against Houston. They have played 3 against both BOS and NYY, getting swept by the Red Sox 27-3 and the Yankees 17-5; both series were in Anaheim. Trout and Ohtani are formidable to be sure, but there’s a lot to suggest the Angels are benefitting from a weak early schedule, and the Twins can certainly catch them thanks to 52 games remaining against the dregs of the central, as well as returns from important players.

    What is John Gibbons doing? Even if Pillar is safe, the Blue Jays have 5 more innings against Twins pitching. They’ll have plenty more opportunities to score runs.
  10. Cap'n Piranha
    Yup—every 3rd/4th/5th starter approaching free agency secretly wants to murder Lance Lynn right now. Also Tony Clark.
  11. Cap'n Piranha
    Nice as it is, I don’t think Detroit Lakes can fix Lynn.
  12. Cap'n Piranha
    I’d say it’s looking like we’ll be sellers come August, except I have no idea what players on this team will draw any interest whatsoever. Reed? Pressly maybe?
  13. Cap'n Piranha
    Dozier’s success is tied to hitting homers, which is less helpful hitting behind the worst hitters than the best. Even when he’s going great, it’s not a good spot for him. I would absolutely say Mauer is a better option to lead off, and to be perfectly honest, I’d put Escobar, Kepler, or even Grossman (assuming he’s going to play every day) there, and let Dozier hit his homers/popouts from the 3 hole.
  14. Cap'n Piranha
    What if a ball hits the foul pole, and bounces back into fair territory? Common sense would dictate it’s foul, since it’s not the fair pole, I would think.
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    Well, it’s a new year.

    I like to think that the ghosts actually thought it was hell (for obvious reasons), but asked the other way, like when someone seriously hurts them self and you immediately ask if they’re ok instead of if they’re hurt.

    1960, two years after Iowa’s only title. On another note, how much fun must it have been to be a Minnesota sports fan in 1960? A natty, and two brand spanking new franchises.
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    Dozier’s OBP down to .333, and average to .255. His BABIP is not too much out of line for his career norms. Remind me again why he’s at the top of the lineup.

    Gopher Football National Titles—7 Hawkeye Football National Titles—1 You were saying?

    This is an easy one. A ghost is simply the spirit of a deceased person who has not found rest. As in heavenly rest. The ghosts are asking if it’s heaven because they have no idea what heaven is like, having never been there.
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    More questionable bullpen moves by Molitor. Reed gets guys 6, 7, and 8 in the 7th inning, which forces Rogers to take 9 through 5 in the 8th, 4 of which are righties. Somehow it only cost us a run—we got lucky.
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    Because it's hard to get real deer to stand still. Duh.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    Gameday is having some issues right now.
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    It;s now 4-0 Jets, 12 minutes into the game. In true Minnesota fashion; Fire Boudreau!
  25. Cap'n Piranha
    You're thinking of Brian Dozier.
