    It looks like I won't be able to watch this on MLB Extra Innings

    New POTD?

    Not a good at bat by Escobar.
  4. glunn
    I won't!

    I am still wondering about the lobster with breast implants.
  6. glunn
    Vargas missed a great pitch there. Could have given us the lead.
  7. glunn
    This game is not looking winnable, but a comeback would show character.
  8. glunn
    The lobster might be more effective than Hughes?
  9. glunn
    The Twins' starters today are probably dampening interest.
  10. glunn
    Wow!

    Covered calls are not a day trader strategy.
  12. glunn
    You might want to consider covered calls as a relatively safe way to hedge your risk, if you are willing to give up some upside.
  13. glunn
    Rest in peace.

    Are there odds yet for Pence versus Ryan?

    Moderator warning - way too much bickering and trolling in this thread. If someone wants to debate what constitutes libel then please take it to the sports bar forum. As for foreign substances, every team facing the Twins has professional scouts and slow motion videos. Parker made some observations which might form a basis for further examination, but at this point all that we can do is speculate, and what I am seeing in this thread is some fairly pointless bickering.

    For me, the problem here is defining "ace." You have referred to four theories, then added an additional qualification, which is "a player who has shown consistency for multiple seasons while being a top pitcher in all of baseball." It seems to me that if you drop the multiple seasons test, then Santana is easily an ace. I would also argue that Liriano was an ace for one season. As a long-suffering Twins fan, I am just glad that we can even argue that a Twins starter is an ace. It makes me happy to think that we will have an ace on the mound at least once in every 5 games, so you sadden me a little when you question Santana's ace status. I also wonder when bad pitching for a while makes a starter stop being an ace. Here is an article about that: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/true-or-false-its-time-to-worry-about-these-four-struggling-mlb-ace-pitchers/ Perhaps the solution is to break this down into two categories -- current aces and long-term aces?

    Wilk did not dominate, but at least he held the line for a while.

    This thread is an example of how people can disagree and debate in a civil and polite manner. There are a lot of good ideas in this thread and the debate has been thought provoking and fun to read. I love the discussion of the relative importance of scouting, player development and building an optimum farm system. My take is that scouting and player development are both crucial, and that the FO should compete in both of these areas as fiercely as we want the players to compete on the field. This includes keeping "stats" on each scout and each coach, As for trading veterans to restock the farm system, other than Dozier my sense is that there have not been many recent opportunities. And I am glad that the FO did not trade him to the Dodgers for JDL. What other trades should have been made to build the farm system? I am also glad that in recent times the Twins have not lost/traded good players because they were unwilling to pay them their market value? I am trying to think of when this has happened since Torii and Johan.

    Except for us Twins fans on the coast.

    It was a good 6 inches outside the zone.

    As a fan I am thrilled by Berrios' performance today. As a moderator, I am not looking forward to all of the posts saying that he should have been brought up sooner and the responses to those posts.
  22. glunn
    I think it's the other way around -- it's already tomorrow there.
  23. glunn
    Huge win.
  24. glunn
    Sano made that one close, but now just two to go.
  25. glunn
    I need my rheumatism medicine to get through this one.
