    Cross pollination? Cross pollination? There's no cross pollination in baseball.

    Nice analysis. Just my observation, but Eddie seems slower off the crack of the bat, and his strides seem short. On replays of balls hit to his defensive area he doesn't seem to have any closing speed to reach balls adequately. Might be due to injury or something else but he's not playing the greatest defense this year. And . . . I'm ticked off at Buxton for again running into the wall for no good reason. Dude, you gotta stay off the IL man. Play a little deeper so you can get to the wall before the ball does or something. You've got the speed and ability to race in and grab the flares and short liners. I'd rather a few balls drop in for a hit here and there if it means you staying in the lineup. Rant over.

    Or use headless catchers.

    Wow, what a flurry of last minute trades. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall and witness all the pandemonium going on in GM's offices across MLB. Are they equipped with oxygen and ventilators? Clear!

    Writing for consumption sometimes contains bumps and warts . . kind of like all of us. I think the combination of timeliness, reporting, insight, editorializing and comments presented here is pretty good stuff.

    The single-season strikeout king at Mercyhurst University, 6-5, 220 lb. righty from Erie, PA. Was the opening day starter this season for the Clinton Lumberjacks. Fastball reaching up to 97 MPH and resting between 93-95. Throws an 11-6 curve which is possibly as effective as his fastball. Rounds out with a change and frisbee slider. Seems like a smart young man that understands the need to be able to make adjustments. Prospect of the month of May for the Marlins. I'm feeling better about the Romo acquisition.

    It's hard to see Sergio Romo of the soft toss at age 36 really adding anything to the relief arsenal for the Twins. Maybe it extends your bullpen and adds some veteran presence, but I hope the additional minor league pitcher we're supposedly getting from the Marlins is a prospect of some hope. Lewin Diaz can hit and will be a major league player. If this is the cost for Romo now, I'm not keen to find out what it costs to really improve the squad at this time. Welcome to the Twins Mr. Romo and may all your pitches be swanky and elusive.

    We want a pitcher not a belly itcher.

    Terry Francona is a very good manager.
  10. AceWrigley
    I'm still not sure it's not.

    Cruz's homer awesomeness is akin to Thome. Amazing.
  12. AceWrigley
    As a fellow Lobo, I knew The Garv had greatness in him.
  13. AceWrigley
    Polanco really put a charge into his homer in the first, that was a mighty swing. Twins giving CC the whiplash treatment for once.
  14. AceWrigley
    I don't think Tyler Duffy was too happy with himself when he couldn't find the zip code for 1B there on the potential double play. That punch out with the fastball to end the inning was awesome. Keep it rollin' guys.
  15. AceWrigley
    Duffy and Thorpe . . nice job guys.
  16. AceWrigley
    Excellent Tom. Eddie the Igniter. That PH at bat he looked like he could hardly wait, "throw the freakin' ball, clown." To Arraez defense, I thought the batter was hit by the pitch too.
  17. AceWrigley
    Yeah, Garver was clearly positioned for way low and away and May threw a hanger. Execution is key. 162 games is a long season and lackadaisical play is gonna pop up from time to time; its human nature. You just don't like seeing it in highly paid athletes. Hopefully the team finds its mojo again and goes on a romp. Go Twins!

    I like the pic of Max in the write-up. Max is a giant. Polanco looks totally puny next to him. And the guy in the red shirt looks like a pygmy. The dugout throng? Mere Lilliputians in Max's World. Max is Godzilla and crushes all pitching Bauers.

    << Hey wait a minute. Is that socialism? >> No, to be socialism every player would have to have the same salary whether they produced or not; not a likely happening under the next CBA.

    I'll take a good hitter who can play average defense any day of the week.
  21. AceWrigley
    <<Still, if you 1) can't play catcher, shortstop or center field, 2) can't hit for much power and 3) don't have above average speed, it's going to be very tough for you to carve out a role in the bigs for very long.>> They said this about Pete Rose when he came up. Just sayin'.

    That was quite the defensive alignment in the OF last night. If I'm Odo, maybe I'm gonna nibble too, maybe get a few extra ground balls. Twins win, and a pretty satisfying win at that. Rosie injured bad; Lamonte Wade up good (4th OF for the 2nd half). Arraez getting more playing time in the 2nd half good. Looked like May was not happy with the HR he gave up. I think he could become an elite reliever when his command becomes more regular. Side note: the "Sano Shuffle" thing being done by the players is good stuff. This is a fun team.
  23. AceWrigley
    Since moving to CF, Lamonte Wade's bat has ignited for Rochester. In the last 10 games he's 11-28, batting .393 with 10 walks. Very nice.
  24. AceWrigley
    Now that was a baseball game. 487 pitches worth, whew. I'll be a zombie today (east coast time) but it was worth it.
  25. AceWrigley
    I would add Berrios, Kepler and Garver.
