  1. Wow, that's like a full year's worth of offense in one game for Bañuelos.
  2. Could be a lot of miles left in that arm.
  3. Late post here but was watching the highlights of Gant's start over at MLB.com and the strikeout of Jose Ramirez and his reaction to end the 5th on a nasty changeup is perfect.
  4. Man did Polanco jump all over that pitch for the home run. Bomba baby.
  5. Minor league record of 18-3 with a 2.41 era and a 26-244 W-K ratio. Ober definitely had the pedigree, just not the innings totals. At 6-9 and 260 pounds, he has a pretty intimidating presence on the mound too. I picked him as a sleeper to make the Twins roster this year, not sure if I thought he'd earn a regular spot in the rotation this soon. The Ober-Meister!
  6. I wasn't a big fan of signing Josh Donaldson but this last month I've really grown an appreciation for his effort, style, heads up play and determination. You sure wouldn't know the Twins are out of the race by watching him. Also, I've been watching the Cubs who traded away half their starting lineup and are playing a bunch of rookies who are letting it all hang out and playing some inspired baseball. Fun to watch.
  7. Nice game for Nick Gordon. Colomé can fall into a holomé.
  8. Nice game for Nick Gordon. Colomé can fall into a holomé.
  9. I like how Danny pronounces Arozarena different each time. ?
  10. Our pitching staff are the Keebler elves of baseball; tossing up cookies.
  11. Home run number 23 for Austin Meadows . . .
  12. Where is Luis Arraez's head today?
  13. How to grab the the thrill of losing from the jaws of victory.
  14. I rather agree. We have other things to worry about: can Kepler hit, can we build a bullpen, who plays shortstop, do we sign or trade Buck.
  15. Not to get political here, but as an advisor I can tell you there was a plan in place. It wasn't followed. Thats all, now back to your regular programming. ?
  16. My friend, Dr. Frankenschtuppen, supplied me with a small video documenting the one success he's had with this surgery:
  17. So after all this fan angst, what does Gibaut do? He comes in against the Brew Crew on Sunday and throws 3 scoreless innings. Bazinga!
  18. Colome strikes out the 1st batter? Wait just a minute, who is on the mound really!!??!!
  19. Ian Gibaut (pronounced jih-BOH) called up, Alcala reinstated. Edgar García and Kyle Barraclough banished to St. Paul. Luke Farrell transferred from 10-day to 60-day injured list to make room for Gibaut. I'm not sure if Gibaut's 7.20 era or 1.80 whip excites me most.
  20. Doug Mientkiewicz is available to manage.
  21. The reason you sign a bunch of these guys to fill out rosters because you never know who is gonna put it all together or go on a successful run. Hard to match mixing experience with success.
  22. Maybe Albers gets some starts? For the short term Ober, Jax, Barnes, Gant & Albers. Keep your bullpen well lubed.
  23. What would I do? A standard 5-point agenda: 1 - First thing in the morning watch the 10am Sports Center on ESPN. 2 - Have breakfast. 3 - Check in with the owners to make sure at least 51% are happy with The Commissioner. 4 - Check in with the Players Association (Tony Clark) to see if there are any pressing issues cuz I might be "in a meeting" this afternoon. 5 - Go golfing. It's good to be king.
