  1. That's a good choice! I admitted this in a previous game thread, but my guilty pleasure is watching The Property Brothers on HGTV! Perfect mindless TV while cooking, cleaning, etc. around the apartment.
  2. My buddy who texted me that rumor may be wrong about the pick being involved. He's way more into it than myself so I took his word for it.
  3. My head is down on my desk in shame for missing this...
  4. Haula, Tuch, and a 1st round pick is the rumor I'm hearing.... Las Vegas can take 1st round picks? This is all so confusing.
  5. He does have some extra time on his hands now that he quit acting!
  6. This opportunity is more than the money, Mike. I get to live out a dream of wearing a costume and spinning a sign all day!
  7. I wear size 11 cobbler shoes Sample!
  8. I'm letting Chi take the creative side of the business... I'll be the guy twirling the sign in front of the store!
  9. Bachelorette? http://cdn.inquisitr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/bachelorette-rachel-lindsay.jpg
  10. When you start that, let me know. We can have a cobbler corner, where Chi and I start a Peach Cobbler shop!
  11. Man, I didn't realize Rosario was that much of a liability out there in LF... He didn't provide positive value in the field last season either. Goes to show if you have one good year in the field, your reputation masks the real story.
  12. Sano is leading the way for All-Star voting at 3B so far! Normally I could care less about the HR Derby, and maybe I still won't care! But, it'd be pretty neat to watch Sano go up against Judge, Bellinger, and others.
  13. These are the jerseys Matt Dumba will get to wear next season. Not terrible!
  14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE-tne5U The Twins won a game yesterday!!!!!
  15. Who said anything about professional?! This analogy is for amateurs playing cricket who may or may not be inebriated at the bar.
  16. Another MLB record broken by Cody Bellinger last night.... He's the first rookie ever to hit 10 HRs in 10 games.
  17. If anything, it reaffirms to me that Rosario is a very capable 4th OF, but not a starting corner OF for a contending team. This will most likely be his last full season as a starter if the Twins are serious about contending next year.
  18. And really, he can't be much worse than Belisle. I'd also take a flyer on him for the rest of the season.
  19. It's been a couple of years since he was good. Oh well, they need to keep throwing darts at the board.
  20. Ah good call. Forgot about Vargas being a AA call up. And I've erased all memories of Parmelee from my mind.
  21. Sigh... remember when Jay was a top 5, even top 3-ish prospect in the organization?
  22. Considering the lack of talent being called up to the MLB from Rochester, there should be a lot of fat to trim on the team.
  23. Yeah I agree... Other than Mauer and Sano, who were the cream of the crop elite prospects, I can't think of other prospects in this organization who have immediate MLB success from AA. Gordon is good and could be great, but he's not an ELITE prospect IMO.
  24. Hildenberger was one of the featured pitchers discussed in Seth Stoh's article "Minor League Promotions Coming Soon?" He details what we all know, that Hildenberger has great stats and very little else to prove in the minors... Per the article link: "In the Red Wings bullpen, Trevor Hildenberger should be next in line for a spot in the Twins bullpen. He has thrown 29 innings over 20 appearances this year in Rochester. He is 2-1 with a 2.17 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9. At 26, the side-winding right-hander has confidence in his ability to throw three or four pitches for strikes at any time, in any count. Frankly, he’s got little more to prove in the minor leagues."
  25. Seth Stohs pointed out in his article "Minor League Promotions Coming Soon?" that Jake Reed was promoted to Rochester on Monday 6/19! After missing the first 6 weeks of the season, he had a short stint in AA and put up these stats: 5 appearances -- 7.1 IP -- 2.45 ERA -- 1.36 WHIP -- 8 K -- 6 BB -- .154 opponent's BA Since the MLB bullpen is lacking talent and production, let's hope he does well in AAA to get a quick promotion.
