    He didn't actually say that did he?
  2. Vanimal46
    He's got a little ways to go, but like you I'm not concerned by his outing tonight. He doesn't have the ego, mojo, whatever you want to call it to walk into Yankee Stadium and dominate. By the end of the season I'm willing to bet he'll have the swagger to do so.

    I'm sure some will be shocked I'm saying this... Make Hughes the mop up guy (replaces Kinley) and call up a SP instead. That's a real upgrade.
  4. Vanimal46
    That's the wrong question to ask IMO. Is there someone else they could use that roster spot on that will make a bigger impact than Kinley? Wouldn't it be better to have another position player on roster who could play in the OF over Grossman? Or another middle IF that could have taken some of Sano's rotten PAs?

    It sucks that they went out of their way last year in order to protect him from the expansion draft. And he didn't progress as well as we hoped.
  6. Vanimal46
    Only the Twins could have 25 pitchers on the 40 man and lack options to call up to the MLB team.

    Welcome back Duffey!

    2nd year in a row where the FO forced a rule 5 pick onto the roster. 2nd year in a row where it's a complete failure. Time to cut the cord and find a useable 25th man on roster.

    Now that I'm out of work and heard the Leipold press conference on Dan Barreiro's show I'm more concerned. He basically said he's not going to hire a GM that doesn't believe this is a Stanley Cup contending team... Sounds like he's looking for a yes man who will continue to make win now trades.
  10. Vanimal46
    I'm slightly concerned that Leipold doesn't understand where this team is at. Adamantly saying this isn't a rebuild. Unfortunately this team is perpetually stuck as a good enough team to make the playoffs, not good enough to win in the playoffs.

    So long Chuck Fletcher. Just like Doug Risebrough you left the cupboards empty in the minors, and untradable contracts on the books.

    Carlos Gomez' walk off HR against the Twins yesterday was the first walk off hit of his career. I don't know if that's some kind of record, but interesting he didn't have one in his previous 4,808 plate appearances.

    I had an idea of what Thorpe looked like in my head. Needless to say I was way off after seeing his photo in the OP.

    Romero is like a fine Porterhouse steak that's 5 minutes away from being cooked perfectly. They could try to turn up the heat in the grill to cook it quicker, but it may not turn out perfectly. Just a little more patience... Enjoy the cheese and veggie appetizers and he'll be done soon enough.
  15. Vanimal46
    No.
  16. Vanimal46
    What's amazing is that inning took 28 minutes. The Angels pitcher threw 49 pitches in that inning alone. The Giants didn't score a single run. And baseball fans wonder why some people think it's too slow of a sport.
  17. Vanimal46
    Brandon Belt set a new MLB record with a 21 pitch at bat. The plate appearance took over 12 minutes to complete.
  18. Vanimal46
    I want to believe beautiful stadiums like Pittsburgh and SF are timeless. I think it all depends how much it costs to fix infrastructure issues. Most every new sports stadium is wired to handle a large amount of data/cell phone use. That's only going to get more complicated in the future. Did they build Camden Yards to handle technology needs? If not, do they have the room to add that kind of infrastructure?

    Don't get me wrong, if there's any health benefits eating lucky charms marshmallows I'm all over that. 10 year old me pretty much ate that daily.

    Is that even considered cereal? That's all sugar. The little oat pieces were considered the cereal part.
  21. Vanimal46
    There's not many 'large cities' left that could create enough demand and support of a relocating team. Austin, TX was mentioned as a potential destination but I don't see that happening. Texans are locked in to the Rangers and Astros. I could see Nashville as they continue to grow and more tech companies make that their home. New Orleans? They support the Saints, maybe there's enough demand for baseball too. Otherwise they may have to look international... PR, Montreal, Vancouver, Mexico City.
  22. Vanimal46
    Phew! I'm safe. These guys couldn't hit me if they tried.
  23. Vanimal46
    That's your subconscious telling you Sano's bat is ice cold!
  24. Vanimal46
    I want what you ingested to get a dream like that.
  25. Vanimal46
    Concur with Mike and Levi that Oakland will blow up that stadium. Especially so when the Raiders move to Las Vegas.
