    But it's not. If it could it would.
  2. dxpavelka
    It's just a game boys and girls.
  3. dxpavelka
    Your last two words are more important than this whole article.
  4. dxpavelka
    Luckily for Twins fans there is NO chance of a guy like him going elsewhere and ripping it up. Nor any such precedent.
  5. dxpavelka
    Love all the consternation about the lack of right handed bats while Sano remains unemployed. And we employ a guy like Gallo is worse at all the things folks hated Sano for than Sano was.
  6. dxpavelka
    Gallo's "recent" offensive struggles? Dude's a .199 career hitter. RECENT?
  7. dxpavelka
    Actually between Joey & Sano, one's a .234 career hitter and one's a .199 career hitter. Convince me we are rostering the right one.....
  8. dxpavelka
    Now factor in that Buxton & Taylor will likely never be on the field at the same time and that Gallo may play a bunch of first base.....
  9. dxpavelka
    I'd say Correa's pretty safe.......... The only thing he's gotta prove over the next 6 years is that he's worthy of 4 more years at a discounted rate.

    The most entertaining guy on the team will be working out for scouts in Tampa next week.
  11. dxpavelka
    Pretty sure they'll deploy ALL of the above strategies to some degree or another--even if AK can go. This regime doesn't seem terribly concerned with continuity in the lineup.
  12. dxpavelka
    "everyone on the team" haven't tag teamed to play in a combined 234 games over the last two years.
  13. dxpavelka
    Can Larnach & Kirilloff stay on the field?
  14. dxpavelka
    You're obviously not paying attention to what I've been advocating for. I don't want him anywhere near the bullpen in any role. Why save his talents for the 9th OR the 7th when we could be using him in the first 6 making yourself far less likely to be DOWN by 3 runs come the 7th or the 9th?
  15. dxpavelka
    I wouldn't watch Harry Potter if you paid me and the fact that I'm conversing with one who obviously would concerns me far more than any and all of your complaints about Sano. Bottom line is he is entertaining as hell to watch and like it or not last year was kind of boring without him even with the team contending for 2/3 of the season. But, yeah, sure, running a .199 career hitter out there should liven things up.
  16. dxpavelka
    Two thoughts: 1: "righty-swinging DH/1B type" = Miguel Sano. B: Not a good sign when Luis Arraez is your only player to get MVP votes.
  17. dxpavelka
    And if they don't put him out there this year, when? And we're still looking for an ace a year from now and a year beyond that. Actually, I'd be thrilled with 25 starts at 5 innings per start. Especially if it lead to being stretched out more next year. If you need to build his innings up, fine. But you can't do that if you don't start somewhere. And like I've said before, what good is an elite high leverage guy late in the ball game if you still don't have an ace?
  18. dxpavelka
    Let's not forget that Jaimie Garcia had more wins in one start as a Twin in 2017 than he did in eight as a Yankee.......
  19. dxpavelka
    None of which invalidates any of my numbers.
  20. dxpavelka
    Not exactly sure how many conclusions I'd draw from a 16 inning season but, sure feel free to do so. Joe Ryan had ONE minor league season in which he pitched 98 innings. Pablo Lopez had one minor league season over 100 innings. Bailey Ober has never pitched over 78 innings in a minor league season. Josh Winder one year over 72 innings. Louis Varland has had one season over 115 innings in the minors. Chris Paddack never tossed more than 90 minor league innings in a season. Wanna go around the league(s)? Aaron Nola never tossed more than 110 innings in a minor league season. Gerritt Cole over 115 once. Justin Verlander hit 118. Guys throwing lots of minor league innings is not really a thing. Teams limit guys to avoid arm issues. We can do whatever you'd like with him this year. None of which is gonna get us an ace.
  21. dxpavelka
    Most of Johan's early years were spent in pen. There are a multitude of others who would make the argument that his arm took a dump as a result of his 134 pitch no hitter.
  22. dxpavelka
    Not in Rocco's Modern Life.
  23. dxpavelka
    He'll got real special when free agency comes and he realizes how much money being a reliever from day one rather than a starter is gonna cost him and he bolts like a fart in the wind.
  24. dxpavelka
    Hard to imagine there being 9 guys on this squad better than him when 3 of the guys being counted on to be among said 9 have a combined 1 out of 12 seasons of even being on the damn field as many games as he was last year. I for one would REALLY love to see season where we don't have to count on a Garlick or the next incarnation of Jake Cave.
  25. dxpavelka
    Doesn't seem like it was broke when he started 80 of 82 career games in the minors either. What IS broke and will almost assuredly continue to be broke is the top spot on the rotation. Can't wait to get to the post-season and be down 4 runs and God knows how many games by the time our best pitcher takes his jacket off. 21 straight here we come.
