    So the next thing is to determine what year it is. I think a close estimate is 13,820,000,000 ABB (anno bigus bangus).

    I'm sure I could get confirmation of this from the internets but who needs to do that when we have you?

    Every GM/CBO (chief baseball officer) will make any trade involving any player at any time if he/she feels it will be a net gain for the organization. The Twins could probably come out ahead by trading Santana before August 1, but it all depends on the offer. This will be an interesting 4 weeks.

    I agree. I highly doubt that any pitching staff we could assemble with pitchers currently in the organization will get us very far this season. If we go outside the organization with the objective of strongly competing this season we'd probably have to add four pitchers, which would most likely cost us all our top prospects plus a couple young major leaguers. We would be back in 2011 again in no time.

    Nothing I've read here has been a reasonable explanation why the Twins give up two home games and Cleveland gives up none. I have no outrage, and I don't think it will make any significant difference over the course of a 162-game season, but it just seems like the only logical, fair way would be for each team to give up one home game.

    He was the 26th player for the nightcap of a doubleheader. I'm sure he's on his way to rejoin the Lookouts at this moment.

    I'd like to revisit the infield shift issue that was previously discussed. (Or I suppose it could be thought of as beating a dead horse.) Hypothetical situation: extra inning game, no non-pitchers available. A player has to leave the game due to injury so the manager brings a pitcher in to play the outfield. A left handed batter (not Joe Mauer) is at the plate so the manager positions the pitcher in left field to minimize the likelihood that he'll have to make a play. The next batter is right handed so the manager shifts the pitcher to right field. Would the box score show that the pitcher (and the other corner outfielder) played both left field and right field? My assumption is that the answer is yes. So my obvious question is: why that would be dealt with differently than a third baseman and a shortstop switching positions?

    I can't type what I'm thinking without getting the moderators involved.

    Tried the anti-jinx and it didn't work. Maybe superstition isn't real after all.

    Sanó is perfectly set up for a strikeout.

    Jack speaking ignorantly about the Fox Tracks strike zone.

    I know exactly what you mean, and I concur, but I can't click like.

    A couple innings back Jack Morris said that the Twins should feel pretty good with a 4-run lead and Berrios on the mound. You'd think an experienced baseball guy would know better than to utter a jinx like that.

    The Omaha Storm Chasers are playing at home tonight, and it's less than a 3-hour drive from there to KC. They could DL Strahm and have another arm in their bullpen in time for tonight's game.
  15. spinowner
    I noticed that too.

    Grossman showing of his defensive skills on that catch by Buxton.

    Interesting pre-game video review showing that Dozier should have had a ground rule double on his near-home run that was ruled foul and that Hosmer's 3-run home run was actually foul. Even in the age of replay there are still mistakes made. Oh well, you win some and you lose some.
  18. spinowner
    OK, time for the offense to pick Ervin up here.
  19. spinowner
    Yep, this is on Ervin, part fielding and part pitching.
  20. spinowner
    Oh, FFS.
  21. spinowner
    You're doing it wrong. Look for barbecue and go to Hickory Park on Duff, just north of US30.

    House of Chen on East Lincoln Way.

    When it comes to April and October you can add CLE, PHI, and PIT. And probably even BAL, WAS, CIN, and StL

    It's too bad that the 2006 Liriano disappeared along with his UCL.
  25. spinowner
    Interesting coincidence because Sunday is also middle day 2017. It's the 183rd day of the year, with 182 days before and 182 days after.
