    On the TV it says 'First 10,000 fans get a John Santana Hall of Fame Bobblehead.' JOHN Santana The header spelled it Johan, but in the details, it was spelled John.
  2. jimmer
    exactly.

    wow, really Escobar?

    In the last five seasons, he has only had one bad season. He's made the most of his opportunities with us. He's not a superstar, of course, but his versatility and his ability to come up big as often as practically anyone else on this team makes him valuable for us. I hope we keep him.

    Rosario has blossomed into a full-fledged stud!

    weird, cause it seems today is the first day the game thread wasn't at the top of the page. and Glunn took care of that.
  7. jimmer
    EE has given us so much value. He seems to step up in crucial hitting situations more than most and he plays good/decent defense everywhere. He's also not going to cost much when taking into salaries we see in today's game. Letting him go would be a mistake.
  8. jimmer
    yeah, cause I don't see us as having a real replacement for him.
  9. jimmer
    Santana will start Wednesday!
  10. jimmer
    shouldn't today's game thread be pinned to the top of the page?
  11. jimmer
    excellent range shown by Escobar
  12. jimmer
    isn't Dozier's seasin OBP in the very low .300s?
  13. jimmer
    yeah, I still can't muster up the ability to root for my team to lose/tank, whether it ends up being for the good of the club or not. One of my many character flaws :-) Knowing that we're out of it and that losing may help us long term helps lessen the pain of losses though.

    If y'all are encouraged that a 5th overall draft pick in his fifth season of pro ball is sitting in AAA with a .602 OPS just because he's 22 (which, of course he is 22 years old, he was drafted out of high school), then that's great. I see a player who hasn't dominated any level he's been promoted from, who likely gets switched off shortstop, and who will likely be a utility player when it's all said and done. And he was a 5th overall pick. We haven't gotten much from our recent high draft picks (though I still have hopes from Buxton). I don't think this organization has shown that following the Astros blueprint is something they can do successfully (though, in fairness, the new organization hasn't had much time).

    Well, Dozier was DRAFTED at 22. Did people expect an EIGHTH ROUND pick from college to go to AAA right out the gate? Comparing where a college guy is at a certain age in professional ball to a high school draftee is ridiculous. Gordon is a 5th overall pick who is now in his 5th professional season. Didn't have an OPS of .700 or more till his third year (yet somehow got promoted every year anyway). Spent a season in AA, had to go back the next year until promoted to AAA this year, where he has a .602 OPS.
  16. jimmer
    Dozier played in college. And was not a fifth overall pick. Higher picks have higher expectations.

    WAAAAY before July 21st. With all due respect to my fellow Twins fans, I think a good chunk were a bit delusional about our chances going into this season. The combination of our record last year (in which our record was better than the talent) and an active offseason (by our standards) made many think this team was way better than it was. We had much farther to go, didn't take into account our non-established players likely still had some growing to do, and didn't take into account improvements by other teams or how much better the Indians still were. The Indians are under-performing and will still take this division by 15+ games. Maybe even 20+.

    Mauer sets double record for Twins. Very impressive when you consider Mauer has less PAs than Kirby had AND more than twice as many walks. So his 2B/AB ratio is much better. Then again, Puckett put 60+ more in the seats, so...
  19. jimmer
    Ted Cruz is a nut. Prosecute him for what? Words? He going to prosecute Trump for some of the nasty words HE has said?
  20. jimmer
    Nick Gordon is very likely going to be yet another wasted high draft pick for the Twins. Guy screams utility player/lower end MLB 2B. All those high picks. Goes to show it's not just about losing and getting the high picks, it's about picking the right guys and being able to develop them.
  21. jimmer
    Yeah, our season didn't hinge on that one play. Sorry. This team has lost a ton and really just doesn't have the talent to be true competitors.
  22. jimmer
    you're killing me guys
  23. jimmer
    Come on Joe! You CAN'T watch that!
  24. jimmer
    That was almost an impossible play for a third baseman? Really?
  25. jimmer
    Great pitch. Gotta be swinging at that Max.
