    Plenty could be trimmed off of the 40 man IMO. Plouffe, Suzuki, Wheeler, Schafer, Albers, Kintzler, Boshers, D Santana, Perkins, Centeno, Dean, Grossman, Milone, Landa could be replaced with other players.

    Not sure what you mean by real value? Teams and fans alike target top 10 organization prospects in trade proposals. He just turned 22 years old today. There's still plenty of value for Kohl Stewart today.

    I was hoping to come to this thread and find your trademark question! Don't hold your breath waiting for the next win! It's going to be a while...

    Is Galavant on Netflix?

    Berrios wasn't the only one to arrive in MN throwing slower than advertised. There were reports on here that Pat Light was throwing upper 90s heat in Rochester and Boston. We saw 93-95 every outing in MN. Hot sports take: were they so nervous that they started aiming their throws instead of pitching?

    We don't know if Stewart will develop into an MLB pitcher. He still has value for this organization. That value may be including him in a trade for a better player. If that's the case, works for me.

    If this guy would have put 30 seconds of thought towards what they're posting out to the Twitter world, all of this could be avoided. Unfortunately we're all living in a world where we want to be first to break the news, or have the hottest sports take first.

    But hey, on a positive note, even right now they're still paying the players more than the NFL minor leagues!

    It's funny to see the excuses that Manfred is coming up with to avoid this issue. It first started off with completely over exaggerating the number of minor league players and the HUGE costs to bump up their salaries.... Now this excuse of well, it's not about the money (it is), it's just such a burden for our team to track hours, blah blah blah. It's a pretty desperate move by the commissioner of a multi-billion dollar brand to try and go down in the weeds explaining how difficult administrative tasks are.

    Fun with Numbers: Madison Bumgarner has now thrown 23 scoreless innings in elimination games, dating back to the 2014 WC game (10 k shutout) and his 5 inning relief outing in game 7 of the 2014 WS. Madison's last 9 postseason outings: 68.2 IP, 6-1, 3 CG shutouts. I don't think there's anyone else in the world you'd rather have pitching when your team needs a win.

    It appears the shows that I'll be sticking with this fall are Modern Family, Designated Survivor, and The Good Place.

    This had to be the shortest conference call of the year for the Twins Daily team... Seth: "Thanks for jumping on the call guys. We need to get our votes together for best pitcher of the year. Thoughts?" Everyone simultaneously: "Ervin." Seth: "Great! I'll get on it. Thanks guys."
  13. Vanimal46
    Clutch for the Giants. I'd throw Bumgarner out in the 9th... Let him finish this masterpiece!
  14. Vanimal46
    Sign me up for a great pitcher's duel any day of the week... Thor and Bumgarner are cruising through the lineup right now.

    Brendan Kennedy, Toronto Star Blue Jays beat writer, caught up with Rob Manfred about the "Save America's Pastime Act" and why MLB is opposed to paying minor leaguers minimum wage.. Quoted below: “Can you explain why you’re opposed to paying minor league players minimum wage?” Manfred responded, “We’re not opposed to paying minor league players any particular wage. What we are opposed to is the imposition of administrative requirements in terms of keeping track of hours and overtime. They’re simply impractical in minor league baseball. A young man decides that he wants to take extra batting practice. Is that overtime or is that his voluntary undertaking? Another young player decides he wants to go to the gym. Are those working hours or are they not? … What do you do with a team that’s on the road for 10 days in terms of keeping track of hours? For us it’s really not about the money so much as the burden that would be imposed. I don’t think that when the wage and hours laws were passed that people were thinking about minor league baseball players.” Kennedy then asked, “Would you then consider raising the uniform player salaries to make them more commensurate to minimum wage?” Manfred said, “I’m not going to talk about what we would consider doing. We still have active litigation out there. There’s conversations ongoing. In terms of getting into revenues, it’s just not productive for me to do at this time.” *Source*

    #NotAllFans obviously... But this kind of bad fandom is a trend for this city. From the article I linked before.... "Four years ago at the Rogers Centre someone nailed an umpire with a beer. Three years ago a fan chucked a full beer can at the Orioles’ Nate McLouth. In last year’s ALDS, the crowd protested a bizarre play by littering the field with trash, a scene lowlighted by a baby being hit with beer. And last night, in the seventh inning of the Toronto’s eventual 5-2 win, one person nearly brained Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim with a beer can:"

    Big fan of LaMonte Wade. His approach at the plate drawing more walks than strikeouts should help him immensely as he moves up in the organization.
  18. Vanimal46
    Sadly, the person who threw the beer at Kim last night was not caught. At the link is more news that fans were yelling racial slurs at Kim and Jones after the incident. Blue Jays fans are the worst.

    Didn't stay up late enough to watch the end, but holy hell is right... Buck decided to go with Ubaldo Jimenez, he of the 5.44 ERA, over Britton and his 0.54 ERA?! Does.not.compute.
  20. Vanimal46
    The Blue Jays fans make it very difficult to cheer for them to succeed... I enjoy passion and cheering loud as much as anyone. As soon as you put a player in danger by throwing a beer at him, I'm out. Let's go Rangers!!

    The bur-ro was my favorite.. Anything with a fried egg on it and I am game!
  22. Vanimal46
    It may be a rematch of the 1918 world series.... Boston vs. Chicago. My heart says Cubbies. My head says Sawx.
  23. Vanimal46
    As well as Al Pastor...
  24. Vanimal46
    That's what we did for lunch! This was the taco I had... The Bur-ro! Spinach, fried egg, avacado, and pico de gallo!

    If you believe this speculation by Craig Mish, "Don Mattingly “called out” Bonds during a road trip this summer, allegedly because the latter’s “commitment level dwindled.” Mish added that Giancarlo Stanton “tuned out” Bonds, who had been “openly critical” of the Miami slugger." - Source Not sure if Bonds is cut out to be a full-time coach. I'd pass on him.
