    It's not quite "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain." If Santana keeps this up, the rotation might just be Berrios and Mylanta.
  2. gil4
    Yeah, my first thought when I saw he had that was "they have this doctor hanging around with only one patient and decided to try to get their money's worth out of him."
  3. gil4
    I don't think they ever clocked any Jim Hoey pitches because they were never within range of the gun.
  4. gil4
    And then get DFA'd the day after that (after pitching about 3 innings and giving up 7 runs.)

    I think Legion ball play by NFHS rules, and aggressive, intentional contact is normally rules malicious contact, an automatic ejection. If you lower your shoulder and run into a catcher or other fielder, it's an easy call.

    Bite your tongue or we will get Bill Smith back. My parents occasionally play cards with his mother, and while it was fun for them to have the insider contact, I prefer they just hear second hand old war stories rather than get inside info again. (They aren't big enough fans to ask the right questions anyway.)
  7. gil4
    That was the answer I came up with. We might come around eventually, but then another question will come up.
  8. gil4
    Who could it possibly be? None of the other MLB teams can offer him anything. Korea and Japan won't want him because he's not ready - the source of his value is his potential plus years of team control, and they won't have the latter. He was a senior and can't go back to college. An indy league can't afford him. Edit: I guess the Twins had to negotiate in order to be able to re-draft him, but giving more than slot to a guy who had no such leverage with the teams just above or below them looks like bad negotiating.

    Where is Les Straker when we need him?
  10. gil4
    I hope he's right, of course. We won't really know for 5+ years, but I like it. I might like Cincinnati's a bit better, but I really don't know.

    He might want to ask politely, because a response is pretty easy to come by: Year ERA G GS IP H R ER BB SO ERA+ FIP WHIP 2016 6.43 26 26 133 167 103 95 32 114 66 4.73 1.496
  12. gil4
    How many did he have at this point last year?
  13. gil4
    Who is the better prospect at SS (or as a position player in general), Lewis or Greene. I'm not crazy about taking a prep player at 1-1 who didn't destroy high school pitching.
  14. gil4
    Under the circumstances those walks were pretty disappointing. Everything's falling in or flying out - swing the bat! (Much more fun to complain about that than to have had the bats stay home and still have Gibson pitching.)

    I don't have the fun with numbers trademark around here, but these numbers are actually fun. Twins' Avg/OBP/SLG/OPS tonight: ,571/.588/.918/1.506 Happy extrapolating.
  16. gil4
    This was a fun night until you brought that up.
  17. gil4
    Too bad it wasn't the White Sox. Hawk is always fun when they are getting blown out.
  18. gil4
    I was thinking we have our secret weapon in the pen to slam the door, but Giminez pitched last night, so he's probably not available.
  19. gil4
    The game does have a slow-pitch softball feel to it. Joe Mauer owes two cases for tomorrow's game, plus he has to wear the pink jersey.
  20. gil4
    Alternate strategy - convince the other team to use our strategy.
  21. gil4
    +the 2 pt conversions, +1. Three score game.
  22. gil4
    For the record here, yes, I would have preferred Greene. I thought he could have been elite at either position, while with McKay I was skeptic at both positions.
  23. gil4
    I thought it was more likely he would be mediocre at everything but wasn't likely to be truly special at any one thing even if he focused on the one thing. I really didn't want a 1B at 1-1 unless he was a once in a generation sure-thing hitting talent.
  24. gil4
    Me too, which means he's probably headed for Cooperstown.
  25. gil4
    I think you're overstating the probabilities, and as soon as he focuses on one, the other drops by at least half.
