  1. It looked like the runner lost his footing trying to get back, then just gave up because he was out anyway
  2. So glad we have prospect Julien in our team!
  3. I gotta cheer on Berrios over Lynn … no contest on that. I won’t say what I think of Lynn or I’d have to ban myself
  4. Again, for me, it’s not his age. That has nothing to do with it for me. But, sustained success at all levels does. People were ready to anoint him the next big thing after this surge he had, and now he’s fallen off. It might be sophomore slump, it might be his shoulder not quite right yet, it might be he lost muscle in his weight loss, it might be his eyes. For me, I wasn’t on that bandwagon when he was in AAA and why I suggested, maybe he wasn’t all that and now we are finding that out. But, these are all just ideas not answers. I hope someone can get to the heart of it.
  5. No. And I didn’t consider Miranda an older prospect two years ago or last year even. It’s not about age at all. I’m just saying that if a prospect has so so numbers then has a one year surge, which was kind of what Miranda did, and put him on our radars, be careful not to anoint him the next big thing until he has a couple years of that kind of production. He did well at AAA then did well last year. Now we are seeing a slump. If he comes back, great, if he doesn’t, well, he wasn’t all that people were suggesting he was.
  6. Weight loss … depends on if he lost fat while building muscle or if he lost muscle in the process. But the shoulder … that makes me wonder a bit. I think it’s a combination of things, but who knows what. Maybe he was never ‘all that’ to begin with, which is the danger of clamoring for prospects who have a one year surge and expecting them to translate that into major league ability. I think the fans have heaped on a lot of expectations, too.
  7. I wonder if he needs glasses!
  8. He’s only been sent down once this year so he can be sent down 4 more times … I assume this is what you mean. Option years are different. You only use one option a year, but can be sent down up to 5 times within that year.
  9. I’d rather get Pagán’d this way, though
  10. Wouldn’t that mean you are finally wittless?
  11. Maybe the Twins can hire him to be our hitting coach
  12. Too bad for such an iconic DQ. That makes me sad. When I lived over that way, I visited often
  13. Wow … credit given when credit earned … that was a good grab
