    And Rosario works a walk ... Promo idea: Whenever Rosario walks twice in one game we give away airline tickets to anywhere in the world.

    Mickey Mantle talking on his cell phone before they were invented. Now that's a Hall of Fame player.

    I'll check it out. Thanks.

    I can't find the article by Law. Is it hiding behind a paywall at ESPN?

    I agree with you about Molitor helping. Buxton's problem is wild fast swinging, not letting the ball get into the zone, going the other way with less than a full cut, etc. - all those things Molitor was a master at. My 2 pennies.

    Who knew if he was ready? They apparently thought he was. He wasn't. Now we go from here, with the added knowledge that he cannot hit major league pitching by a mile. It's a good "demotion."

    Anecdotal, but very crapshooty.

    Got stats? I'd love to see them to compare.

    A small bone to pick regarding Buxton having "clobbered" it or "tore it up" (as some have written) in AAA. Like there's nothing left there for him to learn ... Buxton has a total of 188 plate appearances at AAA. It is not beyond reason that he spend substantial time there, including all of next year (and the year after that, if need be) because right now he is an A+ defender and an F+ hitter.

    What is his mother's maiden name? I'm not watching Dick and Bert.
  11. ScrapTheNickname
    Is that you, Sid?
  12. ScrapTheNickname
    I should have known better with a player like you that I would love everything that you do hey hey hey that you do

    I think Sano is young at heart and carefree (judging from the movie made of him years back) and so he needs a father-figure to guide his energy and concentration. Let's trade for Joe Maddon.
  14. ScrapTheNickname
    They rank one after the other?
  15. ScrapTheNickname
    Kepler is brainy and brawny (I exaggerate) to boot. A player's player. Etc.
  16. ScrapTheNickname
    Can you give a clue? Like 20 of them?
  17. ScrapTheNickname
    I was thinking by "put to sleep" you meant kind of like executed in a quiet way like they do to ailing cats and old dogs.
  18. ScrapTheNickname
    circular reasoning = correct. what I meant: Buxton is in limbo right now. No sense sending him down and his offense is that of a AAA player. What you gonna do?
  19. ScrapTheNickname
    This may sound illogical, but Buxton swings fast. He swings as fast as he runs. It's like his bat is a wand. His arms look too strong. He swings at one speed only (100 mph), same as he runs. What can be done? Well, a fast swing is better than a slow swing to begin with. How to slow that bat down? Stop lifting weights? Meditate on daisies standing quietly in a meadow? Swing a heavier bat? Change his stance? Wait, Bryon (like Mollie did) and then wait again. Go the other way, not as a rule, but as a response to your natural ability to swing fast.

    If the Twins hang on to win they will be 19-11 in their last 30 games, good for a winning percentage of .633. Winning is funner than losing.
  21. ScrapTheNickname
    I like how the Tampa Bay announcers/commentators don't complain about balls or strikes that are close or even wrong. I'm sure Hawk is watching and learning.
  22. ScrapTheNickname
    But if you're carrying a load of rice crispies how do you stop?!
  23. ScrapTheNickname
    My vote for quote of the night.
  24. ScrapTheNickname
    He should be a beer server in Munich. Hands full of 12 mugs and 6 on top of his head.
  25. ScrapTheNickname
    Grossman would have had that.
