    Thank you for a great season of game threads RB! And thank you to everyone else who participated in the threads... I can honestly say without this community I would have checked out after the opening series in Baltimore.

    Vaughn, I'm going with Harris tomorrow against the Yankees. Even though it's your turn in the rotation. Harris has the experience, and the stats against those guys. But hey, we couldn't have made it this far without you, kid!

    You've got the nod for the finale! Look If you had One shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture it Or just let it slip?

    Oh boy! I had a question answered today on the Fangraphs chat: 12:32 Vanimal: Are the Twins going to regret trading away Alex Meyer? 12:32 Eno Sarris: They should not have traded away a lotto ticket — even one with a lower hit rate like Meyer — to get from Nolasco to Santiago, no

    Hypothetically if Mauer retired, I would move Sano to 1B and never look back. It eliminates his plus arm strength moving him there, but it appears he's destined for the position anyway. In that case, since Sano is off 3B, I'd look at signing Justin Turner... Or Plouffe at a discount rate.

    Who would the Twins want from the Angels?

    Not sure. Our office buys the costco sized Coffee-Mate French Vanilla creamer since there's 50 people in here. The person who goes supplies the kitchen with stuff hasn't gone out yet this week, so no creamer for us today... May have to go to Summer Moon over the lunch hour to pick up a good cup of coffee!

    He's been worth every penny so far. If they win the World Series, might as well scratch off the years and write lifetime contract instead.
  9. Vanimal46
    Our office was out of creamer this morning... So needless to say, I had a below average cup of joe to celebrate this day! Also, on this day in 1954, baseball fans rejoice. It's the day of "The Catch!" Willie Mays tracks a ball hit 450 feet and makes an over the head, basket catch that still lives on to this day.

    As they say in the olden days, "A beer a day keeps the doctor away."

    Sometimes you wake up, and BIG National Holiday just gets you, you know? That's how I feel today, on National Drink Beer Day! You don't have to tell me twice to have a beer tonight! Today is also National Good Neighbor Day! So go ahead and do a good deed for your neighbor! Such as: waving hello to them, baking them a pie, having a beer with them, offer to babysit their kids, open up their mail.... The world is your oyster! Today is also National Women's Health and Fitness Day! Chi, Formerly, we need you around these parts for many years to come. So make sure you're healthy! Finally, on this day in 1928, biologist Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered Penicillin! I say accidentally because he was out on vacation, and upon his return, he finds a staphylococci culture that was sullied by mold and destroying the bacteria. Thanks to Fleming for this discovery!

    Tough loss for the Nationals. For Ramos, it says in the article this is the same knee he injured in 2012 where he tore his ACL and MCL. If there are serious questions whether he can continue catching, I could see his value going down in free agency.
  13. Vanimal46
    Well, that was fun.
  14. Vanimal46
    Remember the glory days when Glen Perkins was a hot commodity? Every ounce of value squeezed out of him. You're correct, the Twins haven't had many players of value over the last 5 years. Lucky us, there's 2 players that actually do this year! For once, I'd like to see what it's like to sell someone for an exciting return.
  15. Vanimal46
    I would also hope that Falvey realizes the market for SP this winter, realizes that Ervin's approaching the edge of the cliff, and gets real value for someone like that. Instead of the last regime that squeezed every ounce of value out of players, and let them stay an additional year after that.
  16. Vanimal46
    Doesn't tell us much, but Falvey was mentioned in today's Fangraphs chat: 12:44 CamdenWarehouse: What can you tell us about Falvey? 12:44 august fagerstrom: Has a fantastic reputation inside the org. That’s about all I know. 12:44 august fagerstrom: And, clearly, outside the org, too. 12:45 august fagerstrom: Indians have been like a farm system for high-ranking front office execs over the last decade. Post coming about that topic later this week,

    Eric Longenhagen of Fangraphs just posted a blog doing an early breakdown of the RH Pitchers in the 2017 draft. EDIT: He also gives a review of a kid from Burnsville, MN. Nice!
  18. Vanimal46
    Weaver was never a fire ball pitcher by any means... But, he's throwing an 83 MPH fastball the last 2 years. Stick a fork in that guy.

    How to tell you're becoming a Texan: When 75 degree weather is now light jacket weather.
  20. Vanimal46
    Falvey's going to need some magic up his sleeves. The Twins will need 2-3 off of the list old nurse provided as a 1 year flyer. Best case, 1-2 turn out good and they flip them for better players a la the Chicago Cubs.

    1. Target – Sometimes when I’m bored… I like to go to Target wearing a Red polo shirt and then stand in the center of the store. Shoppers will come up to you and ask for directions. When that happens… I simply point in a random direction. Occasionally I’m right. When you're done with that, drive over to Best Buy and put on a blue polo!

    How does one go about scoring a debate? Yes, this is a serious question.
  23. Vanimal46
    One thing I've learned by watching/following online last night, is don't tweet. Anything. Ever. No matter what you may say, someone will go to incredible lengths to find a tweet you sent 5 years ago saying something different.

    Today is National Voter Registration Day! I just got registered this morning.... And get out to vote for you feel is the least of two evils. Today is also National Corned Beef Hash Day! A breakfast meal my dad loves, but it never caught on with me. Today is also National Crush a Can Day! Have you ever been broke in college to collect as many beer cans as possible in order to split another case of beer? I have! Finally, on this day in 1963, the Warren Commission was released informing the public of what happened on the JFK assassination. That still doesn't stop the conspiracy theorists who think Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone!

    Can we have less talk about emails and tax returns please?
