  1. Kepler, the young bull, is pissed. "You walk Joe to get to me? You did that? Watch this."
  2. 3 chances to get a speedy runner in from second and they bunt.
  3. somebody please say something disparaging about Buxton and or bunting.
  4. Grossman's weaknesses (arm, speed) are being slowly but surely exposed.
  5. I ordered fortune cookies that came with a little food.
  6. Gee, there was another fortune cookie in the bottom of my take-out bag.
  7. It's easier to not hate the White Sox right now because they're struggling. And they have Morneau.
  8. I just got this fortune cookie with my take-out.
  9. I just got this fortune cookie with my take-out.
  10. He's not so bad. I've gotten used to him. He's like family. They just wear you down, and down.
  11. Nunez was not an All-Star. He made the All-Star team. There is a difference. He has picked up his offensive game in the last full year of play - good for him - he made himself a semi-valuable trading chip.
  12. Regarding selling high ... Dozier has been playing splendiferous second base and is hitting a career-best OPS this year ... if Antony has find the right piece, I'd let the Bull Dozier go.
  13. However, Polanco has started ZERO games at SS at AAA this year. He has started virtually all his games at 2B. What does this mean? 1) He presumably won't be playing SS with the Twins. 2) Dozier will be traded in short order. 3) Hell if I know.
  14. Say Mauer is worth $5 million a year. Say we eat $36 million. Voila.
  15. Sorry for being thin-skinned. My fault.
  16. I think you're mixing me up with someone else. And I don't frankly appreciate it. Anyway, go Berrios!
  17. Calling me silly for using stats on a small sample size, then using stats on an even smaller sample size is quite silly.
  18. The game you watched in Houston was one game you watched in Houston. His ERA for the Twins so far in 2016 is 10.20 (17 earned runs in 15 innings). I don't disagree about Nolasco. He sucks. Bring on the next example, he probably sucks too. That doesn't mean Berrios shouldn't have been sent down. He's done his work. Now it's time for him to come up, which he will in a matter of days.
  19. ERA of 10.20 BB rate of 7.2 WHIP 2.133 He was sent down to work out the huge ragged kinks in his game. He's 22.1 years old. Give him a break. See him in the show soon. No one has been mistreated here.
  20. And why do you think Mauer would be an upgrade to Sano at third base? He has never played there, ever. Not even in T-League. It's called the hot corner for a reason. It's an elite position that takes talent and years of repetition and guts to master. Mauer would be a neophyte over there, one can only assume.
  21. In 1900 our good friend Charlie Hickman committed 86 errors at 3B ... and ... his dWAR was .... -1.0. (Doesn't give me a lot of faith in the definition of dWAR!)
  22. I see that Ortiz is 13th in WAR (in the AL!) so far this season, which takes into account defense ... Good point.
  23. You seriously don't think Ortiz is the hands-down favorite for MVP? He had an OPS of 1.083 coming into the game. Who's your pick?
  24. Has any player won the MVP award and then retired? I've looked around but I can't find out.
