    I don't care what mph the ball was hit or how many feet a home run traveled.
  2. Shaitan
    I thought they got rid of the 7-inning games?
  3. Shaitan
    I can just picture (retired) Gardie turning red as that Detroit defense plays.

    My takeaway from these two discussions is twofold. 1) 28 is too big a roster, as I don't care who is sent down. Several are worthy candidates. 2) This team is fun, but needs to improve because several are worthy candidates. But, really, I imagine we'll see 40+ players in MLB on the Twins this year. It's a long season and there are always moving parts.

    "Initially, the fear was he would be out for a whole, but when an MRI came back that it was “just inflammation...” This almost feels like an intentional typo, given his injury history. ?
  6. Shaitan
    With a 28-person roster and 27 pitchers on it, that's just the way it's going to be.

    You forgot to mention that Rincon used performance enhancing drugs.

    This thread should be retitled: None of us actually like baseball

    Human umpires make the game more interesting.

    Smith is like 100 years old in sports years. He can pitch back to back games.

    I'm more surprised at SP. I feel like, unscientifically, recent Twins teams just fail to hit in cold weather. (Which worries me if they're ever good enough to play into late October.)
  12. Shaitan
    While I like the analysis, The Rays developed Ryan, not the Twins. The control pitcher concept is interesting, given that all their waiver wire RP pickups seems to be the opposite. Maybe it's coincidence, maybe that's what you get on waivers, or maybe they have a different RP philosophy.
  13. Shaitan
    Twins site's article said his elbow was bugging him in ST too. Never a good sign.
  14. Shaitan
    Because even league action SP is much harder to acquire. Rogers is replaceable. He's above average, but not elite. If they're in contention later, they can add RP with deadline deals that cost marginal prospects.
  15. Shaitan
    Exactly. And it's hard to hit when it's this cold. Bats will warm up. Hopefully the pitching is for real (vs looking better in the cold).
  16. Shaitan
    Except rookies aren't arbitration eligible. That comes on year 3 or something (don't know the exact details).
  17. Shaitan
    It used to be a workaround because recently drafted players couldn't be traded. Now, I'd guess to keep the Padres under the luxury tax in some way. There's a bureaucratic reason for everything that makes no sense.
  18. Shaitan
    I expect something of value, given that the Twins are eating $6m in the deal too.
  19. Shaitan
    3 years of SP for 1 year of RP. Seems like a no brainer. You can always rebuild a bullpen (see 99% of deadline trades). Most SP will cost a prospect SP or CF in return. And Rooker finally has a spot.
  20. Shaitan
    So many pitchers. MLB has been trending this way for 20 years but still... And with universal DH, we're near the end of pinch hitting.
  21. Shaitan
    This is not directed at the OP, and I use this phrase too about "how long of a leash." But it's kind of weird how many phrases we uses for athletes are the same terms we use for animals.
  22. Shaitan
    You're right: it is the wrong time to mention it. And Gordon has many innings in the OF at this point, including next to Kepler. And they've all been playing baseball for 20+ years. If you know these rules at home...they know them too.
  23. Shaitan
    Garver was good. But I won't miss the passed balls.
  24. Shaitan
    Can't wait to have this same discussion when we go 28-to-26 ? As long as Rooker has options, I don't care between Rooker/Garlick. Thought the 40-spot casualty may be interesting.
  25. Shaitan
    Definitely make or break time with Stashak. Was he pitching injured last year? If not, the league seems to have figured him out.
