  1. I think that he ends up in the bigs around July if he keeps this up. If he's not up by mid-July, then we probably don't see him until next April. I can't see the Twins waiting that long if he's hitting like this. Just think about what his numbers could look like if he hadn't had that slow start...
  2. As far as I know, most, if not all, minor league managers act as base coaches during games. I hope Michael is ok. That looked rough. I was happy that he was finally starting to get something going. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
  3. Are you suggesting that you buy gifts for your wife before her actual birthday and not that day? This is an intriguing concept.
  4. You might as well bash Hicks' ability to bat left handed... and his defense, just for good measure. Or bash Schafer, but I'd rather you go with Hicks. I want to see that draft pick maybe pan out.
  5. It was really close. I could have seen it going either way. It was a very nice throw.
  6. He was out-ish. That's all that matters.
  7. Uh oh. Do you think the Nolasco bean ball will have some retaliation with it? If it were the Royals, it probably would for some reason.
  8. It's Europe, there was likely a train involved at some point as well.
  9. Bratislava, huh? The pictures I see from the google make it look like a nice place. How'd you end up there?
  10. That was quite the bender Nolasco just threw there.
  11. Not a lot of comments yet. It's almost like people have lots to do on a beautiful Saturday afternoon than watch baseball on TV.
  12. I have to say, this has been a really interesting discussion to read. As far as how long it takes to fix this, I don't know. A few years ago, I would have said this was the year the Twins got out of it. At the beginning of this year, I would have said that this was about a .500. I still think that could happen. Of course, I was wrong about contention a few years ago because there were a few things that I didn't see happening (injuries and things). If I were a GM now, I would think long and hard about contingency plans for some of those prospects. Long answer made short, I don't have any idea when the Twins will be able to fix this. If people want to compare the Twins to Cubs and the Astros, then you have to realize when their rebuilds really started. It looks like both teams took at least 5 years of being bad before this year (and it's still pretty early in the season). So, it's tough to come to any conclusions yet.
  13. Interesting stat: Ventura has yet to be pulled from a game this year. Four starts, ejected twice, came out due to injury twice. Maybe he just doesn't like to being pulled out by Yost?
  14. I haven't checked, but I'm sure the game thread on Wild Extra isn't nearly as fun.
  15. We're playing Gin? I thought we've been playing cribbage. I guess that explains why I'm losing.
  16. Too bad I already used the Orson Welles slow clap gif. This picture deserves two of those.
  17. The Wild are going to need that. St. Louis has already scored 2 goals.
  18. In other news, the mini Prince concert appears to be over as the puck has dropped. It will be interesting flipping between these games.
  19. It doesn't matter really, I'm likely to say something stupid no matter what the topic is.
  20. I wasn't saying that women prefer the term "strumpet", I was saying those particular ladies prefer the term over the word "slut".
