    That would be a very welcome development. I'm not sold that we'll every see the Polanco of old, but the bats need an infusion and he's capable of providing it.

    Nice to see Kirilloff racking up the hits. Good to see both he and Polanco in St. Paul too. I like that Enlow had an efficient outing. The start was a good one to build from. And I agree with @ashbury, I wish they'd give Ober some more leash. Maybe they're limiting his pitches after an injury year, but I don't remember reading anything to that effect.

    Maybe? It's the most poorly kept secret around that he does!

    Reading through this thread, you'd think the score was 10-1! Lol!

    Fanning 26% of the time nets you 7th in the AL? Middle of the pack. Out of everything in this post, that's what stuck out to me. That's crazy. Welcome to modern baseball, I guess.

    I'm a bit skeptical that we'll see the Polanco of old, but I do think he'll be a positive add when he comes back. If nothing else, it adds depth and pushes bench players back to the bench instead of starting them. For me though, Kirilloff is going to be the biggest linchpin in how this offense goes. If he can come back healthy and produce from 1B, I think that's a big boost to the offense. I think this offense will go as far Larnach and Kirilloff will take them.

    I like this a lot. If they're going to keep giving up players and/or prospects, it's nice to see them keeping those that they acquire around longer than their current deal.

    Reminded me of the Buerhle v Silva matchups of old. A thing of efficient beauty!

    If I'm going to get out dueled by someone, I could do considerably worse than Gerrit Cole. I'll take a series split in NYC any day. That's not an easy feat for any team.
  10. wsnydes
    Correct. I found the reenactments of the White Sox defense to be particularly realistic too.

    Especially if you like to watch on the radio!

    I'd say he was more of a savvy signing than a diamond in the rough. He's been a pleasant surprise for sure. I hope he's able to keep it up over the long haul. He'd make for a nice bench player when Kirilloff comes back.

    Just chalk it up to some extra cardio for the day!

    Do we know where Kepler is actually at healthwise? I don't think I've seen anything regarding where he's at. I think Wallner has to be sent down. He's not looked good at the plate in my opinion. Lynn toyed with him Tuesday night. I also think that Garlick getting DFA'd is the logical step when Gallo comes back. Knowing oblique strains though, that may not be for a while and a lot of things can happen between now and then.

    I did even better than that. I checked in to find the score and immediately turned it right back off. I couldn't handle it.

    Now I'm ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that this column is satire! (I had previous doubts) Pffft, Twins win...Yankees...ridiculous!
  18. wsnydes
    To avoid any jinxes and/or such, I shall take my leave and leave the game in your capable hands!
  19. wsnydes
    Oh, that's gotta be it! For a second there, I thought I was going crazy!
  20. wsnydes
    So, just checking in to see how the game is going. And uuuhhhhm, am I reading that score backwards?!?!?
  21. wsnydes
    Imagine how much playing time this squad would have if they could field 9 DHs!
  22. wsnydes
    Doesn't seem like it's been that good.
  23. wsnydes
    Good to see Buxton in the lineup today. Also good to see Correa back in the lineup today.

    I made the trek downtown for Tuesday night's game. I was disappointed with the sparse crowd given the weather, but it is April and a school night. There were several families near me though, which is nice to see. I liked the new scoreboards and I, too, hate that they moved the out of town scoreboard out of RF. The ad space is obnoxious to me. Same with the ribbon board on the dugout roof facing. It's too much, in my opinion. The stinginess with the magnet schedules has been a crook in my side for quite a few years now. I don't get it. Way to ruin an easy, and cheap, tradition. Game pace is fantastic, especially in person. I ended up getting into a prolonged text exchange and when I finally looked up, I had missed an entire inning. Not being one to get into prolonged text exchanges in the first place, I was surprised by how the game flew by. And I appreciate that as an early riser.

    That seems like cheating somehow.
