  1. "If you're his agent I have to tell you that he really, really isn't coming out of retirement." That's disappointing news. Actually, I should have referenced an earlier entry in which the author named 3 of the 4 Baltimore pitchers who won 20 games in the same season.
  2. I have been an advocate for Hendry Mendez. However, his numbers in the second half of this season pale in comparison to the first half. I don't know if the injury he suffered is still affecting his play, but I want the old Hendry.
  3. "Interestingly enough: president Millard Fillmore worked to make imported Peruvian guano cheaper and more accessible for American farmers and his efforts led eventually to the Guano Islands Act of 1856" If I remember correctly, the first shipment of guano was stored on the poop deck. The captain was not pleased.; . You, Bangkok Tw
  4. "So Miz throws a pith at 99 mph. Is that his changeup???" That's his eephus pitch.
  5. "Marek's hitting was great, but what really stood out was Houston's 12 SBs. Props to Duran's 17 SBs." I was more surprised by Sabato's 5 SBs
  6. Just visited the Royals' version of Twins Daily. The responders seemed unhappy.
  7. " The Yankees package is cool but I'm not trading any of our best players to a rival " I wonder if the Yankees realize this rivalry exists?
  8. Shelton (and his staff) has been a pleasant surprise to me.
  9. "Not really. They could give extensions to Royce Lewis and Taj Bradley and front-load the money." I have read with interest as some other clubs (KC and CWS for example) have been signing young players to longer contracts prior to the necessity of doing so. I think (but cannot prove) that this would send a message to fans that ownership is prepared to take chances to improve the team. I would support the Twins extending a pitcher and non-pitcher (or more). Bradley sounds good. I would offer Mendez, but I must recuse myself as the founder of the "Why Don't They Play Him at First" foundation (501(c3) pending.)
  10. Great plays by Martin and Rosario (2019). Also interesting that, in both cases, the pitcher was Taylor Rogers.
  11. "Maybe Royce should burn his bats and start over with a complete new set of bats. Seriously. " That would be a shame. They look like they've never been used.
  12. Interesting that the defensive improvement occurred this year. Kudos to Sizemore, but one would hope this could have occurred earlier.
  13. Cave was not a great player, but he always hustled, even on routine grounders to second.
  14. Though I have only "seen" Mendez via box scores or these great game re-caps, I am a Mendez fan. Good to see he played a little at first base. I hope he does more of that.
  15. I remain hopeful that the Twins actually will play Mendez at first base (in the minors) in 2026, rather than just saying it is an option.
