  1. Pretty clear this was the best choice if a player had to be moved for Plouffe. He's over-matched here, and not sure why. He'll likely be back in less than a month.
  2. What I love about Polanco is that he gets on base a lot and rarely strikes out. He should consistently be at the top of the order.
  3. I keep reading people talking about Sano haters. Who are these posters who hate Sano? Are these the people who don't like his fielding? Is that what it takes to be called a hater?
  4. My man crush on Kepler gets stronger every day.
  5. So, are we still calling Danny Santana the 25th man and a backup? He has started seven of the last nine games.
  6. People are setting aside Mauer's chance for the HOF too quickly. As primarily a catcher, the man has 3 batting titles (no other AL catcher has even one), an MVP when he lead not only in BA, but OBP and SLG%. It had been 30 years since someone did that in the AL,that being another HOFer George Brett. He also has 3 GG, 6 silver sluggers and a career line of .311/.393/.448 (129 OPS+). He's 4th in career BA for catchers, he's second in OBP, he's 9th in WAR and OPS. All those things matter to voters. Voter being people who don't hold the disdain for Mauer so many Twins fans do. So yeah, he had a bad 2014 and 2015 after sustaining a concussion, but players have those sometimes, even HOFers. So, we'll see. Really doesn't matter though. Hopefully he just finishes his career strong with the Twins.
  7. The winning has been so much fun. When we were down 2-1, I actually expected us to come back and win. Haven't had that feeling for quite some time. Good feeling.
  8. Bremer said Rays must may been paying attention to what Kepler did in Cleveland. That's why they didn't walk Joe. Um, what about what Joe did in Cleveland, Dick?!
  9. that's what TB gets for not setting up the double play!
  10. Indeed. My wife has been gone three weeks and I already need new glasses :-)
  11. When did Buxton and Carlos Correa become college pitchers?
  12. Sano would have caught that foul ball :-)
  13. An almost 40% K rate. OBP under .250.
  14. Not a big fan of Limp Bizkit.
  15. I don't think Miller is the closer there, I think it's Allen. I agree the win/loss stat should go away and I do like when managers go out of the box with their thinking.
  16. There's a guy I work with whose top of the head is almost exactly flat. It's freaky.
  17. Have to love Sano' s consistency in Ks. Last year, 335 PA, 119 K. This year, 331 PA, 115 Ks
  18. Sano strikes out. Who would have guessed it? 18 Ks in the last 9 games. That includes today and the game is only in the 3rd Inning.
  19. they think Mauer is going to chase balls in the dirt?
  20. stop giving him high pitches would be a start.
