    If Gold Gloves were what they are supposed to be he'd be a very strong candidate.

    When you hot you hot! (Is that ebonics?)

    Not happy but I knew there was a lot of game left.
  4. spinowner
    WOW!

    Time to sign #7 to an 8-year extension.

    In theory, in theory and in practice are the same. In practice, in theory and in practice are different.

    Has Torii been drinking?

    Ye of little faith.

    A trend of language over the last 50 years or so is so-called verbing, where a noun is transformed into a verb, for example to parent, to party or to office. I'm dismayed by this, and if you disagree feel free to message me.

    So if a farmer uses a tractor is he or she tracting a tract of land? Isn't that redundant? And I've used a protractor but I've never heard of an antitractor.

    A glass of red milk? As much as I have trouble following some or Torii's stuff I imagine Dick is dumbfounded trying to figure out what to say in response.

    Or drive in two with a line drive hit.

    Repaid.

    I'll be right over.

    I'm sure it'll be on the Twins web site in a few minutes.

    Tom Kelly once said that in baseball momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher. By itself, a dinger in the first inning is not a big deal. Let's see what happens over the next few innings. Either way TK knows of what he speaks.

    Do it only if a: it doesn't require trading away anyone we are counting on and b: if he and Kate Upton move in down the street from me.

    Mauer.

    I was just thinking about this the other day. I think Kennys Vargas is the player that will dictate whether the Twins will even consider signing Mauer for 2019. I think he'll wind up playing with another team.

    Cherry picking 4 games: interesting but of questionable validity Separating based on rest: interesting and of higher validity What would be even more interesting would be to see how the stats break down based on rest for MLB as a whole and for other specific pitchers.

    This thread reminds me of a little sidebar in baseball history. The 1976 Atlanta Braves decided to put nicknames on the backs of the players' jerseys. Recently signed free agent Andy Messersmith wore a jersey with the nickname "Channel". He also was assigned jersey number 17. Well, it just so happened that the Braves were owned by Ted Turner, who also owned WTBS, the TV station on which the games were broadcast and which was one of the first nationally-distributed cable channels. Oh, and by the way, WTBS was channel 17. At that point commissioner Bowie Kuhn stepped in and pointed out that advertising was not allowed on MLB uniforms. That put an end to the nickname-on-jerseys thing for the team.

    When the decision was made to take him out from behind the plate the Twins needed a first baseman more than they needed a third baseman. That's the main reason he went that way. I think he could have played third if that's where the opening had been.
