    does anybody really know what time it is
  2. dxpavelka
    Nobody ever walked on a pitch they swung at and didn't make contact with.
  3. dxpavelka
    It's so nice to be able to make the call to St. Paul and have the phone picked up by a Simien Wood-Richardson or Festa or Zebby rather than Andrew Albers or Scott Diamond or Sam Deduno.
  4. dxpavelka
    And we, most assuredly, have dozens of those who won't make it. Feels like these two will. But, I totally understand, that's why they play the games.
  5. dxpavelka
    Nice to be in a position where when we call up players we are actually calling up guys who offer some hope. Unlike 8-10 years ago when a guy came up and you knew he'd never amount to anything.

    Sometimes prospects take time to develop.

    Maybe he'll be sidelined long enough to grow back the Tim Lincecum look and all will be right with the world again.

    Farmer on the big league roster and Lee not is the kind of thing that makes me happy to watch football.
  9. dxpavelka
    Totally understand that nobody's pitchiung 250+. But freaking out about approaching 118? C'mon man!!!!!!!!!

    2040 will be here before you know it

    Thanks,

    ONE guy. Are you brain dead or just unaware of how the game was played for a hundred years?
  13. dxpavelka
    If you don't throw guys out there to ramp up their innings pitched and games played year over year they'll never ramp up their innings pitched and games played. OH NO. A pitcher might pitch more than 118 innings or a catcher might play more than a hundred games. We need to stop coddling these guys and make them be baseball players. I'm reminded of a note in TD a couple weeks ago about the final relief appearance of Nolan Ryan's career 50 years ago, against the Twins. Which was preceded by a 10 inning complete game 3 days prior and followed with a complete game 2 days later. And my first thought was about how that stretch ruined his career. Beyond that point in his career he barely reached 4000 more strikeouts and only lead the league in strikeouts seven more times. Poor guy.

    I have one unanswered question: Has anyone ever gone from un-drafted college grad to the big leagues quicker than Dobnak? I've been asking this question for 5 years. Nobody seems to know. I've even tried the Elias Sports Bureau. Nothing.
  15. dxpavelka
    Not sure i'm in on Trevor Bauer's "stuff"
  16. dxpavelka
    bigger names? sure. pitching better? no
  17. dxpavelka
    Actually all but one team in the playoffs is doomed. We just don't know which one that is. Which is why they play the games.
  18. dxpavelka
    By your definition, such an animal no longer exists.
  19. dxpavelka
    Not only do Lopez, Ryan & Ober "look reliable right now" I challenge you to name a team in the big leagues with three better starters right now......
  20. dxpavelka
    You get out 100% of the time you don't make contact. Only about 70% of the time you do make contact. It's almost like the Twins front office has known this for decades.
  21. dxpavelka
    Part of why many legends struggle when they move to DH is because by that point they are no longer legends.
  22. dxpavelka
    Not to mention that keeping his hands lower might help him hit the low and away thus seeming like fewer of those pitches are unhittable.
  23. dxpavelka
    Um. The history of baseball. The history of sports in general. Does it always happen? No. Does it happen quite routinely? Yes. And by the way, take Judge off the Yankees, Gunnar Henderson off the O's and get back to me. P.S. The two NL teams you mentioned are both behind the Twins in the standings.
  24. dxpavelka
    A couple injuries and pretty much any team is cooked.
  25. dxpavelka
    There are a number of clubs with two better than us but I'll agree nobody with three better than our top three. I don't see three in the top 12 though. And you gotta go down about 70 spots before you get to Woods-Richardson. Comes down to do you have confidence in him at the four spot and can the top three be flawless when it really matters.
