    Justin Verlander may be a cyborg sent to Earth to throw 97 MPH heaters and 88 MPH sliders. 2,500+ MLB innings and no signs of slowing down.

    Reason #7548 why I love my neighborhood... This is the newest addition.

    I hope so. As I read through this thread, Joey Gallo of the Rangers popped in my mind. He plays against an extreme shift where maybe 1 player is on the left side of the field. Because he's swinging away, he's a .210 hitter with a ton of power. I don't see why he wouldn't bunt way more often to raise that BA to .250 at least.

    I remember that was exactly where coaches wanted you to hit the ball when I played. Now it's just a routine grounder to the SS, or in extreme cases, the 3B.
  5. Vanimal46
    As they should, IMO. It's a great way to debunk the extreme shift strategy coaches implement against certain players. I would hope players are able to swallow their pride if it means their batting average, OBP, and OPS increase by bunting.

    Concur about the pitching order you discussed. Romero moved ahead of Gonsalves after his impressive spring. I do hope Gonsalves makes his way to AAA in a reasonable time. He has 28 AA starts under his belt already.

    As his adopt-a-prospect dad this year I learned he was committed to attend Loyola Marymount, and the Nationals paid way above slot ($400k) to entice him to sign. If you're at games in person when he starts, please feel free to post on his page! http://twinsdaily.com/topic/28833-tyler-watson-2018/

    Understood. But the schedule is finalized months in advance. It's hard to anticipate brutally cold temps in April when it's January.
  9. Vanimal46
    I won't sit through them either, but others will. Is it fair for warm weather cities to play mostly on the road the month of August/September? There's been years in the past where spring showed up early too. Minnesota is particularly miserable this year. One of the big reasons why I moved away.
  10. Vanimal46
    It's not fair IMO for fans of 'cold weather' teams waiting 2-3 weeks to see their teams at home.
  11. Vanimal46
    I'm not sure if Lynn threw a single offspeed pitch for a strike today. Some hitters bailed him out swinging at junk in the dirt, but not many. Even with the score 5-4 it was one of the most boring games I've watched.
  12. Vanimal46
    Zach Duke: greatest strike out pitcher this generation? Or greatest strike out pitcher ever?
  13. Vanimal46
    McCown steps back... Fires into the endzone... CAUGHT! TOUCH DOWN! NO!! NOO!!
  14. Vanimal46
    The bats are waking up, finally.
  15. Vanimal46
    Dozier!

    The more you know by Dick Bremer... If you wear a stocking hat, you appear to be 15 points lower than your IQ.

    Wish I could DVR this game for nights when I can't get to sleep...
  18. Vanimal46
    I think it's safe to say we're going to see the bullpen today.
  19. Vanimal46
    Gerrit Cole was dominant in his first start with Houston. 7 IP - 2 H - 1 ER - 3 BB - 11 K He was my man crush all winter once it was known he was available for trade.
  20. Vanimal46
    Hmm, yet they still counted that as a hit.
  21. Vanimal46
    Wow. And he made that look fairly routine.
  22. Vanimal46
    They should have looked in the mirror first before commenting on the bunt. Rosario did the exact same thing earlier in the game.

    Sano's oppo field HR from yesterday's game: https://www.mlb.com/video/sanos-opposite-field-homer/c-1902175683

    It's an absolute pleasure watching Berrios pitch when he's in cruise control like he was today.
  25. Vanimal46
    It's appointment TV for me... If this is a sign of things to come we found the ace. The stuff is there, demeanor, confidence...
