    That works! We're lazy and just here for the conversation.

    I don't see TC Bear anywhere... Didn't he have to put the suit on in order to enter the stadium?

    Definitely a Weird Al fan as well. That's the beauty of music, really. All of it is timeless, and most people favor the music they grew up with. Especially the music that occurred during your teen years.... Just getting your license, stepping in the car on your own for the first time, and pumping the tunes!! I fully admit the music of my generation is mostly bad. Every once in a while I find a new band or song I like, but I always bring it back to 90s - mid 2000s grunge rock and alternative. Incubus is a top 5 all-time band for me, and they're coming to Austin on August 5th!

    No kidding! I do love CSNY's version of that song too. I'm adding a bunch of her songs to a Spotify playlist as we type!

    I only knew about the Counting Crows' version of "Big Yellow Taxi" until 1 minute ago. Joni's version blows the Counting Crows out of the water.

    Making a Moscow mule to start the night. What's everyone drinking to celebrate the weekend?

    If North was down there too I'd be very skeptical that you all were up to something.
  8. Vanimal46
    Nope, just the blurry USA tank top pic from 15 rows away. Maybe Chi could have been my matchmaker!

    Don't tell me you're cooking up a plan already for Moderator-Gate 2017?! Also, we need a pic from your seats for something to think about tonight.

    How are you feeling about your role in the game thread rotation Mr. Vogels..... I mean diehard?
  11. Vanimal46
    Smells like opportunity for some game threadin prospects to make a name for themselves!
  12. Vanimal46
    A night game thread.... This is our chance to work out the kinks, talk about Sano's amazing athletic ability, and get 7 pages of nonsense.

    Yeah we found out Fangraphs and B-Ref have vastly different WAR values. I was looking at Fangraph's WAR at the time.

    This scout lost me at Buxton needs to bunt. #NeverBunt
  15. Vanimal46
    That sounds fair. Both of them were the cream of the crop in CF for a long time.
  16. Vanimal46
    Absolutely. Cameron put up 50 WAR in 14 seasons... Torii put up 40 WAR in 20 seasons.
  17. Vanimal46
    I am high on Buxton too and would be thrilled for a 50 WAR career like Cameron... 8 seasons of 4+ WAR is quite impressive.
  18. Vanimal46
    I would very much like to see this happen, and pull the plug on the all-star game/festivities that happen. There's nothing more boring, IMO, than sports all-star exhibition games.
  19. Vanimal46
    Another interesting tid-bit from the CF article: "The strikeout problems look like they’re sticking around, but if Buxton really does combine elite range with some legitimate power, then there’s certainly room for a Mike Cameron-style career here. That might sound like a disappointment given where he was rated, but Cameron was a criminally underrated player, and the Twins should be happy if that’s what they get for the next 10 to 15 years." That comp doesn't sound disappointing at all! Mike Cameron ended up being a 50 WAR player.
  20. Vanimal46
    Today at Fangraphs, "2017 Positional Power Rankings: Center Field" Not too shabby for Buxton to be projected similar values to Adam Eaton and Odubel Herrera.
  21. Vanimal46
    I don't know, it seemed to work briefly for Hughes. I think more importantly, they need to let Santiago pitch the way he always has in the past. When they tried making him pitch with more control last season, he was lit up more than a Christmas tree.
  22. Vanimal46
    I'm buying into Santiago being an effective, dare I say, above average starter for this team. If they don't tweak his mechanics too much, and let him pitch "effectively wild" I think he can outperform his FIP once again.

    I wish we could bookmark this post, and then take bets on what date Bert says this exact quote.
  24. Vanimal46
    Agreed. Compared to last year it's looking much better throughout the whole organization. And compared to other MLB teams in the league, the Twins certainly aren't in the worst situation anymore.
  25. Vanimal46
    Nobody would willingly trade for Grossman IMO. It's going to be on the Twins to cut him if it gets to that point. His defense was awful last season. No denying that. As long as he's a part timer with ~300 PAs, and he's clicking at the plate, he should stay. If he reverts back to a .650-.700 OPS player, then cut bait for someone else.
