  1. Agreed. A few of his starts were complete ineffectiveness. Don't know if he's just having release point problems or if the year layoff is affecting him (walks have been up all over the minors). He'll probably be invited to MLB camp next spring so it will be interesting to see how he develops.
  2. Thanks Tom for sportin' us some curves. ?
  3. Byron Buxton should play for one team his whole career, and that team is the Minnesota Twins.
  4. Not bringing back Colomé would be addition by subtraction.
  5. Colomé's performance makes me think kindly of Ron Davis.
  6. If I go to the doctor next week and he prescribes heart medicine, I'm sending the bill directly to the Twins front office.
  7. At the Academy we learned to fly high. ?
  8. I am more than disappointed. Why call up a career minor leaguer at the end of a dead season and not play him? He doesn't deserve a chance to start in a MLB game? He's injured? So he has to sit at the end of the bench and do what, pine for the fiords? WTF. I'm not really a Rocco fan but I haven't jumped all over him . . . until now.
  9. Gardy would start new guys brought up right away. I always liked that.
  10. I agree with Roger as the Florida State League has historically been a tough league to hit home runs in. I know some guys can't WAIT to get promoted out of the "deep-fly-balls-go-to-die" league.

    Saddest sports city

    << All of that said, if there is such a thing as karma -- and I believe that there is -- the negative attitude of fans may be having some effect. I wish that there was some way to change that. >> Start winning.
  12. Producing a couple of studs each year is definitely primo, but winning sets a good tone. If I had to choose between the two, gimme the studs.
  13. Wow, that's like a full year's worth of offense in one game for Bañuelos.
  14. Could be a lot of miles left in that arm.
  15. 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.
  16. Man did Polanco jump all over that pitch for the home run. Bomba baby.
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. Nice game for Nick Gordon. Colomé can fall into a holomé.
  20. 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.
