  1. "You guys want to know who I think is going to win?" 'Nobody wants to know who's going to win? hmmm" I believe you misunderstood the lack of response. It REALLY means that "Nobody wants to know" what you think.
  2. Thank you.
  3. Actually it's entirely my mistake for thinking someone with the handle"Hosken Bombo Disco" had any interest in the 21st Century.
  4. Paging? Do they still have pagers? Get some teenager to explain texting, Facebook, email, Twitter and other 21st Century communications to you.
  5. Season begins on Thursday.
  6. Apologize for repeating myself. I think it's a symptom of aging, BUT... Is there any update to the March 23 Work Groups summary?
  7. Just heard a rumor that the Twins players will go on strike unless Nolasco is released before Opening Day. The infielders are citing safety issues related to the rockets being fired at them by the opponent's batters. The outfielders are asking for a higher mileage rate while running after bombs and blasts. The catchers are citing boredom, complaining that none of Nolasco's pitches ever get to them. The other pitchers are afraid of getting killed by line-drives into the dugouts and bullpens.
  8. "Ricky Nolasco got the ball for Minnesota as it finishes its two-game exhibition set with the Nats" Ricky Nolasco should have held onto the ball. Once he let go of the ball, it got murdered!
  9. If Jesse Crain is a comparable measuring stick for a reliever, that reliever belongs on the Twins roster. Crain may not have been the Twins closer, but he was seldom in danger of losing his job.
  10. I commend you for your patience. The hope expiration date for most fans is midnight April 4.
  11. Hambino "the Great" is not great, but far, far, far below average.
  12. Your memory is pretty good. Most MLB closers began as: Starters who failed, Starters who got old, Starters who developed a gimmick pitch..or Position players who couldn't hit.
  13. No, not bad. In fact, it is possible. In fact, it's almost likely. BUT, IT IS NOT FUNNY! In fact, I will NOW have to see my therapist!
  14. Thanks. Is there any update to the March 23 Work Groups summary?
  15. No sarcasm...Santana improved his BA by .044; his OBP by .046; his SLG by .101; and his OPS by .147. That is a HUGE improvement. And his haircut is MUCH better than Arcia's!
  16. Forget Arcia's at-bats! How about tis slash line from 2016 ST? .377 BA / .385 OBP / .557 SLG / .942 OPS 13 RBI and 7 SB. DANNY SANTANA!!!! Pretty good OF speed with Rosario, Buxton and Santana!
  17. Just like YOUR job. You can quit anytime. However, someone else hiring you is not guaranteed.
  18. I think you just described Babe Ruth.
  19. "We shouldn't assume an injury, and it would be even worse of us to wish for one" Don't go all MORAL on us!
  20. However, the results may have been based on the hitters' incomplete development of a good approach for hitting against Duffey. Once the hitters ADJUST by laying off his plus-plus curveball and sitting on his fastball, it is Duffey's turn to ADJUST by mixing in a third pitch. Sometimes it is better to preempt the hitter's adjustment by preparing your own adjustment in advance.
  21. For Bay,the Mets bought themselves some payroll flexibility by negotiating a payout of the $21 million.
  22. Because the two LHP (Darnell and Dean) are mediocre prospects, I expect LHP Taylor Rogers to be switched from the bullpen to the rotation, when one of the starters is promoted or demoted.
  23. Jose Berrios, Tyler Duffey, Alex Meyer, Logan Darnell and Pat Dean
  24. Hotdish and a bottle of pop. You betcha!
