    Well, that may be coming to an end.

    PC, Poutine Connoisseurs? I thought you guys kept the French Canadians confined to Quebec, are they spreading?

    I'm just glad that Arcia seems to be doing his best to make this decision difficult. Buxton still isn't hitting, but I'm encouraged that he has toned down the strikeouts, only four in his past 19 PA. Small sample size I know, but after watching the Baltimore and KC series', it really didn't look like sample size was going to make any difference with his strikeout issue. If he's figured that out a bit, I think the hits are right around the corner. You can say the same about Rosario, as far as the strikeouts go. I don't think this is the time to mess with the young guys.

    Dang, problem with Fox Sports Go. It seems if you have to reload after the game is scheduled to be over, you can't watch the rest. My only option to watch right now is the Postgame show, which of course is not yet on. Clicking that one doesn't load the game back up. Dang about my silly watchability issues, not the tie game of course.
  5. nicksaviking
    Aren't we doing three and five team Round Robins yet? We should definitely look into doing that.

    If anyone watched the after show, they seemed to heavily imply it was Gus. The first letter of each episode title spells Fring's Back. Edit: I just checked to verify this and the first letters are actually an anagram, not a straight spelling. Which ever fan picked up on that has way too much time on their hands. Unlike folks here surely, who spend all day are always working hard and never have any time to spend online.
  7. nicksaviking
    Good call.

    I feel similar actually. If young guys are sentenced to serve two years in middle relief to "earn trust" then by the time they've earned it, they've already lost 2 MPH on their fastball and two years of more wear on their shoulders puts them closer to the end of their useful shelf life, which unfortunately for most pitchers is short. "Earning trust" is how things used to work, it shouldn't any more, youth rules the game now, trust now needs to be put in physical attributes more than experience. Experience only means you are that much closer to losing your physical attributes, they will fail you eventually. However they didn't do this with May, he was plugged into the back of the rotation pretty quickly, so I'm hopeful that when the big names in the minors are ready, Chargois, Burdi, Melotakis, they won't be giving the typical rookie hazing in the form of mop up duty and long relief.

    He'd look good in late innings in KC.
  10. nicksaviking
    Sano will have three HR in the next four games.
  11. nicksaviking
    He already looks too stretched out.
  12. nicksaviking
    Being 100% completely serious, if Molitor is never going to use the 4th bench bat why not just do what this team always did in the past which angered us so much? Bring up another reliever or better yet bring up a catcher so Molitor doesn't have to grow a pair to pinch hit for Suzuki in the 8th? I am not going to be happy if Polanco, Kepler or some other youngster is parked on the bench when this team is back to full strength.
  13. nicksaviking
    I was about to get upset about this until I read his title. He's basically doing what Molitor and Rod Carew did/have done for years from the sound of it. And for everyone who's disappointed about the "Old Boys Club" ramifications, (me included) adding Gardy isn't going to change anything. If they ever make changes at the top, nearly everyone will go, or no one will go. This move isn't going to mean squat.

    The writers really don't seem to know what to do with Page. I don't blame the actress, as I agree she's in a lot of WFT moments. She seems to be pretty identical to every second fiddle woman in 70's and 80's tough guy cop show. The writers WANT to make her look smart, useful and tough but don't know how to make it work so that the macho-man main character can still regularly save her and be the most capable person in the room in every situation. For some reason, periodic mentally deficient damsel in distress always ends up being the fallback. I don't know the behind the scenes going-ons, but DD could probably stand to borrow a JJ writer or two to help make the Page character appear not so obviously written by men who don't know a damn thing about women.
  15. nicksaviking
    So basically through two turns through the Miracle rotation, Gonsalves is fifth best out of the six starters? And he has still been really good? If I was in the Chattanooga rotation, I wouldn't feel very comfortable about my prospects of remaining a starter for the entire season.
  16. nicksaviking
    Polanco is a plane ride away. Even if they like him better at SS, Escobar can slide over to 3B. Frankly, if the Twins hadn't won those last three games, I'm guessing we would already be talking about trading Dozier to open up a spot for Polanco.
  17. nicksaviking
    I like Pressly and as he was the most consistent member of the pen last year when healthy, I thought it was crazy that he wasn't assumed a roster spot simply because he had an option. I'm ready for Chargois and the other young arms too. I'm also hoping Graham turns out like Pressly, so far they're on the same path. The league still puts a value on the "closer" title, so I really hope this club sees the light and if they ever find themselves with a surplus of bullpen arms (pipe dream I know) they continually deal the guy with silly closer label to get the best return.
  18. nicksaviking
    Watching that, all I could think about was if Spike donned that Yankee soldier hat for fashion purposes or to help remind Sanders of his youth.
  19. nicksaviking
    Great game Alex. Now just quit with all that bullpen mumbo jumbo, I think you're seriously over estimating the starters in front of you. I'm not sure if Hughes and Milone can hit 99 combined.
  20. nicksaviking
    Not bad. Save the taking a crap excuse to check your phone for the next date.
  21. nicksaviking
    So the night ended at 10:30? Or you told her you had to take a crap, then came here to tell us?
  22. nicksaviking
    Dozier can now be sure there is nothing that will let him see the field tonight.
  23. nicksaviking
    I'd feel much better about this game if Twins pitchers didn't have to come back onto the field.
  24. nicksaviking
    Whoever this new guy 42 is, I think he has a shot at going the distance. Probably helps that he's ambidextrous.
  25. nicksaviking
    A bunch of children waiving useless sticks around pretending they're magic wands?
