    This will be the beer of choice for the game tonight. They just started canning it this week! $11 for a 6 pack though.... http://www.ohbeautifulbeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Austin-Beerworks-Seasonals-Bloodwork_847e6ecbfb7b44c9b5dd2efbf920df0b.jpg

    Is this your tool belt when you have work to do outside? http://www.homewetbar.com/images/prod/w-beer-belt-black46586.jpg

    That's because you're drinking mead out of wine glasses during games!

    Couldn't tell you how many rockets off of Milone and Nolasco I missed this season because of drinking beer out of a normal mug!

    If anyone is looking to get me a gift, there's a new product out called the TV Beer Mug. It's a mug that won't block your view of the TV when you're laying on the couch drinking beer!

    I would hope that the decision to be bullish on Molitor isn't because of $1 million. Think about how much money has been tossed aside for the Duensings, Stauffers, Jepsens of the world. That would be silly to keep Molitor for financial reasons.
  8. Vanimal46
    Oh boy! By the time he's 26 he'll be up to speed and handle an average MLB SP workload.

    Pohlad has made it known time and time again that he lets baseball people make baseball decisions. And then he makes a baseball decision. Mind.Boggling.
  10. Vanimal46
    That, and he only pitched 97 innings this year. Even with a modest 15-20% increase in IP, we're still a couple of years away from him being a legitimate 180-200 inning pitcher.

    Call me jaded, but I don't want to bank on all of our super awesome prospects coming up within a year or so. Fool me once with all of the super awesome RP prospects, shame on you. Fool me twice with all of the super awesome RP prospects.....
  12. Vanimal46
    Absolutely. And, worse case if he's not a starting pitcher after all, we just wasted several hundred innings on that arm. As we know, the shelf life of a bullpen arm isn't that long. It's a big question mark for sure.
  13. Vanimal46
    Someone should make a Twins SP jersey similar to how the Browns keep track of all their QBs...
  14. Vanimal46
    Not sure if anyone else has kept up with this show. Judging by the ratings, probably not. It was dark for the first few episodes, but have really picked up the last couple of weeks. Much like The Americans, this is an under appreciated show.
  15. Vanimal46
    What's amazing is you mention 11 players in the article, and I wouldn't lose any sleep if all of them are gone for the 2017 season. Rosterman also mentions a few, and out of his list, I would add Tonkin, Santiago, along with Rosario and Landa as borderline drops. Potentially 15 people that could be removed from the 40 man without much of a backlash from the fan base. I would look forward to that much turnover after this disaster of a season.

    Good luck to Tebow. I'm not sold at the moment that the Mets signed him for his baseball abilities. Whether it's a pure baseball decision or a marketing ploy, business will be good for the Mets' minor league affiliates. Jersey sales and attendance will skyrocket simply because Tebow is there.
  17. Vanimal46
    Great point. Both the Mets and ESPN could be flexible with his schedule I suppose. That would be quite hypocritical to have a different set of rules for him compared his other teammates.
  18. Vanimal46
    The Dodgers keep coming to mind as a potential fit for Dozier.. The dream scenario is Urias. More realistically, if Maeda could be had, I'm open to trading for him too.
  19. Vanimal46
    When he was in A ball... Just a tad different than trading young MLB players.
  20. Vanimal46
    I'm intrigued with AA. I would want to have a GM/POBO who sees an opportunity to make the playoffs and makes contending type trades to ensure that. He's most likely learned some lessons in his first go around as GM, and still quite young to improve on the job.
  21. Vanimal46
    How nice of the weather to be 72 degrees For Kevin Bacon. I'm sure he appreciates it!
  22. Vanimal46
    I'm not sure why we would dismiss his control issues when that was most likely a key reason why he's no longer in the organization. It never improved, and actually got worse as he moved up through the system. Admittedly I approved the trade because it meant never seeing Nolasco in a Twins uniform again. I won't lose any sleep or get worked up because Meyer is gone too.
  23. Vanimal46
    Meh. Meyer also had 4 walks in 3.1 IP. Still sounds like the same pitcher who doesn't know where his pitches are going to end up once it leaves his hand. I was all on board with DFA-ing Nolasco. I still don't mind the trade to try and get someone like Santiago who may be a middle of the rotation arm. Everything about the pitching this season is diseased in Minnesota.
  24. Vanimal46
    So in other words, he's still a high velocity pitcher who has trouble finding the strike zone. Nice to know things haven't changed.
  25. Vanimal46
    That's a shame for Plouffe. But, hopefully this opens up a ton of opportunity for Polanco/Sano and potentially Beresford for 3B reps the rest of the way.
