    Big fan of Wade... Love the fact he's continuing to draw more walks than strikeouts. Also, nice to read that JRM's bat is finally coming around a bit in Rochester.

    Lots of fun days coming up!

    I find it frustrating and fascinating at the same time that Berrios can have such a sexy stat line in AAA, yet not have command. When someone describes a pitcher as not having command, I think Alex Meyer.... Someone who can't find the plate, and walks several (4+ BB/9) people per game. Not Berrios' 2.2 BB/9 line he has now. Admittedly I've not watched Berrios pitch. I'm just a fan who watches the MLB team and wants to see him as soon as possible.

    You betcha!

    Fargo awaits! Keep it up Twins...

    Just one little slip up and it's an automatic triple for Buxton. Those wheels, man.

    I'm actually in the lemons business. Keep up!

    Alonso had 7 HRs in 532 PAs last season. Career high of 9 HRs. He has 6 in ~80 PAs this season. Uhhh, what?

    Good god man.... BUXTON!!!

    Good thing I need a tan!

    That was a nice of SSOO to meet you for Old Country Buffet's early bird special!

    Wally Work-a-lot thinks kissing the CEO's butt is going to get him/her that coveted promotion... Hate to break it to them, but that's not how to do it.
  13. Vanimal46
    Better hope you don't have a Wally Workaholic in your office that tattles on you!

    So last Friday my team left work early for 2:30 happy hour... Wally Workhard on another team didn't like that and called our CEO to tattle on us. As a result, we're here until 7 tonight. But, we're making lemonade out of lemons and ordering pizza. So, still winning?

    Has anyone ever described you as fascinating SampleSize? Because your writing fascinates me.

    It would probably take an hour for me to get kicked off the TV for swearing. Most every broadcaster gets ripped on for one reason or another, and I would not want their job.

    He had a good run with the Twins. The last 2 years have been rough, but every pitcher breaks down in due time. Hopefully this last surgery took away the pain he was feeling, and he can live the rest of his life without worrying about his shoulder.

    3:09 Billy Beane: Why is Ervin Santana sorta good now? 3:10 Dan Szymborski: I haven’t looked at the data actually, but he seems to be getting some crazy movement this year.
  19. Vanimal46
    Hey! A little bit of hope for Byron?! 2:56 Richard: Who will eventually break out of their slump faster, Byron buxton or Keon Broxton? 2:56 Dan Szymborski: Double B
  20. Vanimal46
    Well, this is blunt. 2:45 Nick: What do you attribute to Joe Mauer’s poor offensive numbers thus far? Terrible BABIP but the K% is lowest in the league, GB% is down and FB% is up. 2:45 Dan Szymborski: He’s the world’s most overpaid singles hitter.
  21. Vanimal46
    2:07 Eric: What do you think the Twins brass is looking for out of Jose Berrios besides a sexy stat line? All he does is dominate AAA hitters, and apparently there are no plans to call him up soon. 2:07 Dan Szymborski: I believe they want him to be confident – they’re in no particular hurry. I’d be concerned if he wasn’t up in the next 6 weeks.

    Machado was interviewed last night after the game, and he was angry. The explicit rant transcript can be found here. I don't blame him for being this angry because the Red Sox continue to throw 100 MPH pitches at his knees and head. A positive: Machado hit a moon shot HR off Sale later on in the game.
  23. Vanimal46
    Yeah, I don't agree that it was an overpay for Bradford. It would have been a disaster relying on Shaun Hill starting 16 games last year. Your opinion may vary about how good Bradford is. At the very least, he's a proven starter, and the Vikings felt they were a playoff contending team. As Mike pointed out, teams over pay for QB's during the draft every year.. Comparing the Bradford trade to the Bears trade up to get Trubisky, for example, looks like a steal.
  24. Vanimal46
    I can concur with some points made on both sides of this argument. Mike brought up a great point that some fans that are so strongly associated with the team assume they assume a role within the team. They'll do things that they believe is helping "our" team.... Could be yelling/taunting at a player to throw them off their game, waving signs behind a backboard while someone shoots a free throw, etc. I also concur with gunnarthor's point that bigots will be bigots. It is now an emotionally charged series because of the slide, near beaning, etc. In that environment with 30K+ people, access to alcohol, a person's true colors can come out. In conclusion, if they weren't enforcing unnecessary "unwritten rules" the environment wouldn't be so tense and hostile. And most likely prevents a bigot from feeling empowered enough to spew hate in public... BUTTERFLY EFFECT.

    By the way, these are the game threads I love.... The weirder, the better! Where else can you go on the internet to discuss snowmobiles, Canadian tuxedos, and dad bods?
