    If Phil had any integrity, he'd negotiate a buyout and retire.

    Rosario's overthrowing might allow a guy to take an extra base. With Granite's underthrowing, the guy will already have taken that extra base.

    Assuming an L tonight, the Twins will be 0-4 against Houston, with a run differential of negative 25-35 runs. Oh, and 3 of those 4 games were started by Santana and Berrios. This just in: we're not a #3 starter and a couple of bullpen arms away.
  4. Cap'n Piranha
    I don't know why everyone is so worried about the Yankees--the last time they beat us was so long ago there was a different President of the United States.

    Our short season teams are going to be a lot of fun to follow this year. Lewis looks like he wants an all expenses paid trip to beautiful Tennessee.
  6. Cap'n Piranha
    The Twins should look to be sellers, but not sell for the sake of selling. If this was a team like KC, with 6 of our top players hitting free agency, and a championship pedigree, I'd say go for it. If we were the Tigers from a couple years ago, with our core approaching the mid-30's, I'd say go for it. This is a young, and hopefully improving team. If we don't think our young core, combined with an above average farm system, and a balance sheet about to get much cleaner is capable of competing consistently for the next 3-5 years, than we should pull a Houston circa 2011, and blow it all up.

    Jorge got ahead of Gonsalves and Romero by being on the 40 man, and not having injury/inning limit concerns.
  8. Cap'n Piranha
    Yes on Hand so long as it's a prospect outside the top 10. Otherwise I'd rather see what Hildenberger, Busenitz, Curtiss, Reed, and Melotakis can do. No on Neshek, unless it's a prospect outside the top 30, like Amaurys Minier.
  9. Cap'n Piranha
    Except that the Twins need a starter for Friday, which is Santiago's spot. If they're planning on calling a starter up, why bring Busenitz up for the two days when you have your best starters going, and you're already carrying 8 relievers? My guess is the Twins just decided to do a bullpen game on Friday--if not, it means they are just throwing darts at the wall in terms of call-ups.

    My frustration with Gibson is that it seems like every time the team puts up some runs for him, he immediately gives them back in the next half inning. I'm not sure if that's statistically true, but it sure seems like it.

    Twins Daily Posters: "bunting is a waste of an out!" Twins Daily Posters: "how dare the Twins not be good at bunting!"

    My four years of high school Spanish leads me to believe it would actually be frijoles de gelatina. Say it right so you don't get accused of cultural appropriation.
  13. Cap'n Piranha
    Dazzle just mentions that Moreland beat the shift, and adds the obligatory, "if the Twins are playing straight up, that's an out". Just once I'd like to hear an announcer mention after a single up the middle "if the Twins are playing a shift, that's an out".
  14. Cap'n Piranha
    Also, jelly bean in Spanish is jelly bean, which makes no sense, since jelly is gelatina, and bean is frijole. Damn you Ferdinand and Isabella!
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    Eddie is like one of those jelly belly bean-boozled jelly beans. He's either fantastic, or makes you want to vomit, with nothing in between.
  16. Cap'n Piranha
    So two what the hell moments just happened back to back, courtesy of Dazzle. 1--Gladden mentions Royce Lewis hits a homerun (awesome!) in his first professional at bat against the GCL Orioles. This leads him to wonder if the homerun came against a rehabbing Justin Haley. Ummmm...why does Gladden thinkour pitcher be rehabbing for the Orioles? 2--Gladden speculates on whether Lewis might move up this year, and says he wonders if the Miracle will be his next stop. Does he really think Lewis is going to skip not only E-town, but low A too?
  17. Cap'n Piranha
    Breslow and Belisle were both signed by the new regime, so if either of them gets sent out, it's not due to a new regime, it's the regime in question admitting they made a mistake.
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    According to gameday he's thrown a handful of sliders.
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    I'm so much more interested in finding out about Busenitz than in winning this game. Here's to hoping we can do both though.
  20. Cap'n Piranha
    In a contest of bullpens, the Twins NEVER have the advantage.
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    I am shocked, SHOCKED to hear that there are smart alecks on the game thread.
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    Weren't you paying attention? The post clearly said yummy. They are yummy.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    That actually IS Brian's style! Amazingly enough, it comes out coherently! Well, most of the time...
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    Where where? I always thought it was hear hear, as in an old timey vernacular for "I hear that!"
  25. Cap'n Piranha
    Tim or Les? Also, they've been cloning themselves?
