  1. His first 10 pitches he only threw 2 strikes, so 17/40 was progress.
  2. We better recover this onside kick
  3. I was wondering that about the guy Arizona brought in from the pen. They must have more injuries and less depth than us, because he hasn't been good anywhere. Had most of that typed before the slam.
  4. That was quite a year last year. This year is pretty good, but last year he had to be in the MVP race. 50 HR, 1.025 OPS. Not too shabby indeed.
  5. It wasn't easy, but he got through it. 93 pitches now, so he's probably done.
  6. Why fake an injury when we can just wait a week for a real one?
  7. I like reading about the prospects and I don't mind a bit of over-optimism in the reports. But sometimes it does feel like this:
  8. My thought was this sure seems rushed. Maybe it's because today is the Royce Lewis jersey giveaway. When I checked to confirm, it turns out they changed it to Buxton t-shirts. Which explains why he ran into that wall last night.

    Time For Change

    I agree - time for a change. In honor of the current status of the Twins' pitching (especially the bullpen), I have updated my profile photo from to Thanks for providing the motivation.
  10. I do too, mainly because of their pitching coach. He's from my home town, I used to umpire when he was in Little League and Babe Ruth league (13-15) and he married a friend of my sister. (ignore the Oklahoma in my profile; that's just where the military dropped me off after 20+ years.)
  11. Does he throw with the arm with the hook or does the glove go on that one?
  12. I didn't renew this year and I'm still sick of that one.
  13. Did you give him your bank routing and account numbers? He might have just needed it for direct deposits.
  14. After reading that headline, this is about the best-case scenario I could have imagined. Whew.
  15. 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.
  16. If the Stop Pitching Bad program fails, maybe we can sell him on the Start Pitching for the White Sox program.
  17. 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...)
  18. 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.
