    Sano walked and hit for power..

    Keep dreaming that dream if the RSN money dries up.
  3. dxpavelka
    Yup. And he struck out 80 times in 250 PAs. Get him 550 and he's got a legit shot at Sano's team strikeout record.

    MSP is the 16th largest market in the US. Two of the markets that are larger have two teams but are also far more than twice the size of the MSP market so it's almost like 17th is right where we should be in payroll. And the RSN money IS gonna be an issue whether you want it to be or not. Sorry.

    $150 Million is likely a stretch given the current and likely future state of local television revenues.

    Gallo, Kirilloff & Farmer all played games at both 1B and LF so yeah, one has to do with the other.
  7. dxpavelka
    Wallner is Gallo lite and if we're lucky he'll take five years to strike himself out of the league instead of three. Miranda showed so much this year that he earned a one ticket east across the river. Same with Larnach. Julien MIGHT be the only hope you've named but he's a LONG way from not being a defensive liability and might never get there. Good luck with all of that.
  8. dxpavelka
    And yet Larnach spent most of the year in St. Paul, Kirilloff ended up hurt (shocking) when the moment got big and Matt Wallner's biggest achievement was playing Gallo out of the lineup but there's a real good chance that he himself strikes his way out of the league in three years too.
  9. dxpavelka
    That bad and yet we've never adequately replaced him in LF. AND he's a Gold Glove finalist this year. AND he's the type of guy who probably would have come up big in big moments against Houston. Lord knows not enough other guys did.
  10. dxpavelka
    Serves as an annual reminder that some moves don't work out. Convince me that we've ever adequately replaced Rosario. Did I mention he's a Gold Glove finalist this year?
  11. dxpavelka
    Time for my annual reminder that we moved on from Eddie Rosario to make room for Kirilloff & Larnach. Still waiting on adequate return.

    Taylor hit .154 for the post-season. Perhaps they might want to revisit that not punishing or hating on him thing......
  13. dxpavelka
    Taylor has done so much they benched him today.
  14. dxpavelka
    Ryan made the cut but Ober just gave up a blast in the 9th TODAY so I guess that shoots that.
  15. dxpavelka
    Weird part was that NOBODY questioned it.
  16. dxpavelka
    The only place I'd give Ober the edge is in allowing the big fly and it's not that different. I grew up watching Bert serve up a ton of them but if you limit walks and keep runners off base I don't mind seeing the occasional gopher ball. They gave Ryan the ball on opening day last year and Ober was in St. Paul on opening day this year both of which tell me that they see the bulldog in Ryan, the guy who responds to big moments just a little better. I think they out cuted themselves by going with Ober.
  17. dxpavelka
    Sure hope Ryan comes up bigger in his start than Ober did.
  18. dxpavelka
    I'll take your word for it but I actually do a little softball umpiring myself and will darned sure make certain that I check that out to be sure.
  19. dxpavelka
    Ryan gives up 1.8 HR/9 and Ober gives up 1.4 HR/9. Throw in Saturday and that disparity is a little less. I believe it was a man we've all heard from a LOT over the past five decades who will attest to the fact that giving up HRs is also not that big of a deal if you don't walk batters ahead of them and actually the two of them give up the fewest BB/9 of the top dozen pitchers on the staff. Bottom line for me was the Ryan is the better pitcher in the big picture.
  20. dxpavelka
    The real question is why no obstruction on the catcher when he didn't have the ball and Lewis had to run around him to get past him?
  21. dxpavelka
    I fear you may not like what you find.
  22. dxpavelka
    Ryan is the better pitcher. He won more games, started more games, pitched more innings, had more strikeouts, had more strikeouts/walks. And to be honest I don't really care what happened in other games.
  23. dxpavelka
    I personally don't have a clue. Nor do I think anyone on this site does. But a lot of folks on here seem to feel that was why the decision was made and why it was the correct one.
  24. dxpavelka
    The whole "analytics say start Ober instead of Ryan" thing is cute but Ryan is the better pitcher and and the end of the day analytics don't get hitters out, pitchers do. Playoffs are a different animal that I think Ryan is better suited for than Ober at this point.
  25. dxpavelka
    The analytics says Ober instead of Ryan in Game 1 was cute but Ryan was/is the better pitcher and at the end of the day analytics don't get hitters out, pitchers do. Dumb move.
