    Sano catches the foul ball with ease and confidence
  2. jimmer
    That's not bad at all
  3. jimmer
    Yeah, I umpired at many different levels for 30 years. I rarely rag on umpires for really close plays/calls.
  4. jimmer
    But then you have things like what umpire Welke did last night where he needs to be suspended.
  5. jimmer
    It's the offspeed stuff. and offspeed low and away is killer for most lefties.
  6. jimmer
    yeah, I think people rag on umpires too much when the play actually needs to be slowed down extremely just to get it right on our high def TVs.

    It's not difficult all, but long term I don't think either is a quality MLB starter (even though, offensively, Rosario is doing well this year).
  8. jimmer
    bad route
  9. jimmer
    all of this

    But like I said, many people had the position BEFORE he crashed and burned. It was a peak season WAY out of his normal production.

    a ton of people said not the extend Hughes before he was and said it was a bad move to extend him. Nothing to do with hindsight, plenty of foresight to see that first season with us was a mirage.

    That's funny!

    His performance this year is worse than last year. And now that his BABIP is normalizing a bit, some might be finally seeing that. He's still being helped by his LOB% (which is also normalizing), and his K% is down while his BB% is up.

    I get up at 3:45 every workday morning and go straight to jogging for 40 minutes. Cool down, shower, then get dressed for work. Leave at 5:20ish and in my office NLT 6:00. Sleeping in on non-workdays is like 5:30-6:00 (but the jogging still happens right after I wake up). In other words, another morning person right here.

    Johan Santana is my favorite Twins pitcher of all time and Radke, who I really liked, is still a distant 2nd.
  16. jimmer
    I think its lower. The team acquiring him will get him for one less year. Thats one less quality year of control at a very team friendly salary. Have to take salary and years of control into account when talking value. And, IMO, he was pitching better at this point last year than this year as well.
  17. jimmer
    I was all for trading Santana at the deadline last year.

    11 years ago (2006) when the Twins came back from being 10.5 in mid august, their winning percentage in mid-august sat at a hair under 60. They finished with a winnning percentage a hair under 60. Basically, they finished the season and made up 10.5 games winning the same percentage of games they had won when down 10.5 games. They didnt surge, they didnt make a run inconsistent with their play when they were down 10.5, they just kept winning at the same pace. Going from winning 48% in the first 4 months to winning 70% the last two doesnt seem any kind of realistic. Of course its mathematically possible, but saying since the Dodgers can win at the level so we can too discounts the talent level each team possesses. No to mention discounting the huge difference in talent between this years Twins and the 2006 Twins team.

    And John McCain crushes the bill with the deciding 'no' vote. Suck it, tweeter in chief!
  20. jimmer
    don't go making sense now :-)
  21. jimmer
    The fact that we got anything for Murphy is awesome. A bag of new baseballs would have been a great get.
  22. jimmer
    All I was saying was that although they were farther back than they are now, they were a legitimately very good team at 65-46. That's a hair under a 60% winning %.So, IMO, it makes sense that many fans would have still believed in their chances more than they do in this teams chances even though they were farther back than this team is now. Having said that, man I hope you're right and that propels them to make the playoffs.
  23. jimmer
    like two seasons, winter and construction ;-)
  24. jimmer
    itd be pretty hard for them to have gotten worse, but I still wouldnt quote anything those two guys say about baseball, since their main focus is football.
  25. jimmer
    I think the days of a quality FA market are gone.
