  • Biography
    Twins fan since Tony O was trying to play OF on gimpy knees, Carew played 2B, and Blyleven was the young star pitcher.

    Retired from the Air Force after 24 years.

    Grew up halfway between NY and Boston - Yankee fans are much more obnoxious than Red Sox fans. At least they were - that whole "Red Sox Nation" garbage that everyone else has borrowed might have helped tip the balance.

    You would probably have a nickel, which would be a nickel more than me.

    I felt bad when I saw "Don't Give Up on Brad Rudis!" in the headline and had no idea who that was. After checking the box score and his Baseball Reference page, I don't feel bad about that anymore. After four solid but unspectacular years at Texas A&M, he went undrafted. The Twins apparently signed him and his pro career is now 4 games and 5 innings old. I guess it would be premature to give up on him at this point, but there is nothing I have seen that leads me to expect big things of him, either. But stranger things have happened, especially with pitchers.

    If the Stop Pitching Bad program fails, maybe we can sell him on the Start Pitching for the White Sox program.

    I see the problem. He was keeping his UCL in his thumb instead of in the elbow where it belongs. (In seriousness, I learn more biology on this site...)

    There was a lot of playoff frustration that led up to that, and some pretty good teams that couldn't even get that done. But what happened after that series win was tough to forgive. Instead of building on the momentum and a pretty good foundation, they decided to try to increase profits by cutting expenses rather than increasing revenue. Any good will they had built that October was gone (and then some) by the end of December.

    I thought we already settled that we are a middling team in the second-worst division in baseball. Big difference.

    Sounds reasonable to me. I'm impressed he held it in as long as he did. Do you have a link to his GoFundMe?

    Last year was a pretty big step forward for him, and in two months this season he has built on that. But it wasn't long ago he bombed at AA at age 24. He looks good now, but I need to see a bit more before I see him as more than organizational filler.

    A .660 OPS projection is pretty bad. The same methodology that gave you that projection for Fedko projects .730 for Outman. I'm not saying Fedko will also underperform his projection by .190 like Outman has done, but I'm also not going to say he won't. If I had to chose between the two, it would be Outman. (And I'm from CT. Fedko is a UConn guy.)

    I remember one who turned into a HoF hitter after returning from that. The first time I ever heard of a hamate bone was when Ortiz missed time with it.

    I'm not watching, just listening and following. The radio guys made it sound like it was an obvious error, but MLB.com has this: Is that going t o get changed?
