    The only thing that drops in our outfield is raindrops, and sometimes baseballs.

    HE'S HAVING A REVENGE GAME TOO.

    That Buxton throw was...pretty bad?

    It's a revenge game! We're having a revenge game!

    Wherein I get mildly annoyed and resentful that I didn't think to post something this nice for my 100th post.
  6. GP830
    You don't argue with that sort of insight...
  7. GP830
    I bet this goes all the way to the top...

    I think that's indicative of our guys taking a lot pitches in these early games. So yes, it's more a of symptom than a cause.

    I had a job at point where I really excelled at one part of it. I was on a team at the time that rotated aspects of the job every week. So I only ended up doing the thing I was really good at for one week a month. While I absolutely tore it up on that one week, I was a totally lost mess the other three weeks a month. When I eventually took this to my supervisor, she told me that the team wasn't designed to accommodate people who were really good at just one aspect of the role. We subsequently mutually parted ways, as I just couldn't perform the other tasks with any kind of proficiency. Despite the fact that I was really well-liked in the office and that I worked really hard-- it just wasn't working. I was too one-dimensional in that role. Baseball teams just aren't designed to accommodate players who are one dimensional anymore. Hence why the market for Dozier wasn't what we'd hoped. I love Buxton, and want him to do well but from a sheer job performance standpoint he's been absolutely atrocious so far.

    Must be all those framed strikes...

    Is that the bronze Joel Zumaya statue for outside of Comerica?

    I have seen a lot of pundits and people on boards talking about how the Twins can't play over their heads for an entire season. That's true. However, so far we've seen the following: -Timely hitting -Patience at the plate -Strong Defense with minimal mental errors -Quality pitching through at least 5 innings (save for Mejia) It's my assertion that this isn't the type of stuff that needs to go away when other teams get hip to what the Twins are doing-- these are the fundamentals that we've always heard so much about. Additionally, we have a number of guys who's talent has outran their performance for too long. It's possible that they're just finally putting it together. If we were beating teams 10-1 or 15-0 every night, I'd agree that that is not sustainable. But what we've got now isn't out of this world-- it's solid fundamental baseball. My point is this-- There's no reason to think that this team won't break .500 this year based on how they've played. I've taken the defeatist attitude with regards to my Twins for too long, and I of course could be wrong, but I'm gonna choose to have a little faith on this one. Crazier things have happened.

    1-An under discussed point so far has been Sano and Polanco getting it done in the infield. 2-I love the Castro storyline. 3-The Rotation?!?! 4- The Bullpen?!?! 5- Buxton, what is going on at he plate? It's like he actively doesn't want to hit the ball. 6- Maybe were closer to contention than we thought. If we're in striking distance at the break do we buy or sell hoping to continue to push towards the future?

    Sorry- I'm 30 years old and that made me LOL.
  16. GP830
    Buxton what is going on...
  17. GP830
    he's normal and from the Garlic Capitol of the World.

    I know that the Twins playing this well is significantly easier on the plumbing in my house...

    Favorite concerts you've attended?
  20. GP830
    I would buy that as I love the elegant design. I wish they made smaller, portable, dust-buster models, cut into squares.
  21. GP830
    I feel like in years past, they would have said Twins instead of Royals.

    The iPizza.
  23. GP830
    Is that an electronic chicago-style pizza? It's about the right size and shape...
  24. GP830
    I think if the majority of the sauce is on top of the cheese and toppings, then it's not pizza.
  25. GP830
    That's basically what Chicago-Style Pizza is.
