    Because Colorado came first. Wyoming is just an attention-seeking copycat wannabe.

    A couple thoughts on At Bat; I don't like how it makes you restart the gameday portion of the app if you've been doing something else on your phone for more than a couple of minutes. I also don't like that the highlight videos have been shortened, so you no longer get to see replays. Those are my complaints for the night. For now.

    I like Colorado. It's very no-nonsense. Not like some of those flashy states, like Illinois.

    Biscoff rules! When I worked for the airline, I would eat about 20 packs a day from our stock room.

    Portland is Seattle Junior. Of course, Seattle is Vancouver Junior. Which makes Portland Vancouver the Third.

    Is the organizations best hitting coach in Minnesota or in Rochester? If it's Rochester, what in the heck are we doing as an organization. If it's Minnesota, wouldn't we want Buxton to be working with that guy?
  7. Cap'n Piranha
    Two things--Buxton is so fast he doesn't even look like he's running fast in that video. Second--when a catch is assigned a catch rate of 44%, is that number based on Buxtons abilities, or a generic fielder? For instance, if Grossman was for some inexplicable reason playing center field when that ball was hit, it's nowhere near a 44% chanc it's caught.

    According to the twins page on the at bat app, Rosario is going to AAA, and Rucinski was dfa'd. Turley coming up is one--does this mean we might see Busenitz soon?

    I echo that these writeups are phenomenal, well done to all involved. As for trading Santana, I think we should be open to the idea. If a team is desperate, and will give us 2-3 top 100 prospects, we should absolutely do it. While we might make the playoffs this year, we are not championship caliber yet, and we don't have the pieces in AAA to get there in the next year. However, if we can get a stud or two that can be part of the Gonsalves/Romero/Wright (if they draft him) wave, we could have a nice rotation in 2019. Not a bad return for a wild card/first round loss in 2017.

    If Rosario isn't careful, Granite is going to take his spot. Also, I love that we have three legitimate shortstop prospects (Vielma, Gordon, Palacios) all in full season ball. Imagine if Javier busts out this year.

    La Jolla is unbelievable. The shore walk is incredible.
  12. Cap'n Piranha
    Robbie's OPS is now more than 100 points higher than any other Twin not named Sano.
  13. Cap'n Piranha
    He can always do a double switch, depending on who's first due up, and who he has on the bench.
  14. Cap'n Piranha
    Based on the results of this game thus far, I'm calling for an indefinite moratorium on Sano nickname suggestions.
  15. Cap'n Piranha
    Santana is averaging 9 pitches an inning. That's pretty good.
  16. Cap'n Piranha
    I'm an identity thief, and my next mark is one Derek Falvey. In all seriousness, a 27 year old with a .400 OBP and an .850 OPS feels like a nice piece to go in front of your franchise slugger, no?
  17. Cap'n Piranha
    I would like to offer Robbie a 4 year, 50 million dollar contract, with a 5th year team option for 15. Anyone opposed?
  18. Cap'n Piranha
    Thing is--Sano already has a nickname. It's Bocaton.
  19. Cap'n Piranha
    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.
  20. Cap'n Piranha
    I'm completely fine with the Twins taking McKay in the first round. As long as its with pick 35 or 37.
  21. Cap'n Piranha
    When can we see Busenitz? Great numbers in AAA, he deserves a shot.
  22. Cap'n Piranha
    Please, Twins, don't take the "safe" pick. Please.
  23. Cap'n Piranha
    Because they're very situation dependent. A triple is better than a single, but judging by RBI, a single with the bases loaded that scores two is better than a triple, or for that matter, a homer, that comes with the bases empty. RBI's should be used, but should be used in conjunction with some sort of rate stat that details how often a player gets to bat with runners on.
  24. Cap'n Piranha
    Don't swing at that Buck.
  25. Cap'n Piranha
    Don't look now, but we might have a ball game here...
