    Wow. I've done a 180 on Smalley and really like him to be honest. Next time you hear him "ramble", listen to what he's saying. I think he's really insightful and knows what he's talking about. I think the guy could have been a coach, frankly. Morneau is good but overrated on this board (understandably so, as he was one of everyone's favorite all-time Twins). He's got a history of being VERY "folksy" which I know goes over well with the Midwest crowd but I hope he takes a step forward this year and develops a little edge. Bremer is Bremer. You know what I like most about him? He doesn't showboat. There are so many broadcasters out there who are acting like we're watching the game to hear them call the game - rather than to watch the team play. These guys and their signature calls, I can't stand the guy in DC who does the "See You Later" thing, it's just so unimaginative. Bremer gets out of the way and I think that's how it should be done. I actually like Bert also! He does have a bit of an edge and a crass/sarcastic side. I think he feels a little hurt/bitter that he's not the main draw any more, which started when the network nixed his "Circle Me Bert" feature which pissed him off. I think you can hear that bitterness in some of his work these days. But when things are going well, and Bert's happy, he's as fun as they get.

    Sano made a great play at first on a wide throw a few innings ago. He stepped off the bag, jumped, caught it, and tagged out the runner as he ran by. Was a very nice defensive play.

    Nice to see Sano take a walk there.

    Geez Garver, gimme a break.
  5. bighat
    Great AB Adrianza.

    Clippard looked solid, nice to see. Good get.

    Lost in Homer's follies: Twins offense has one hit and hasn't looked very good at all against Lester.

    Is Buffalo really that bad? Their clubhouse must be awful. I was wondering about Rochester too as an option for those guys...doesn't sound like it would be any better than Buff I guess, especially since that's their own AAA affiliate.

    Brutal for the Jays. Can you imagine trying to figure this out 24 hours before the season starts? Ouch.

    Other baseball news: "The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to play a majority of their home games at PNC Park in Pittsburgh this season, sources confirmed to ESPN, after federal officials in Canada refused to let the team host games at the Rogers Centre."

    Batting practice off Bailey today.
  12. bighat
    Ah, Cruz got a nice pitch there - hit it too hard apparently.
  13. bighat
    So is Rich Hill ready or what? Haven't heard much about him during summer training.
  14. bighat
    Bux "feeling better" and "gaining confidence" - heard it before. Translation: we might see him in 2 weeks.
  15. bighat
    I have. I went on a Wrigley Field Stadium tour once - they do that in the summer when the Cubs are on the road. Got to see the clubhouses, dugout, press box, whole nine yards. Pretty cool actually.

    Attaboy Rosie! two-bagger.

    Pat Hughes is great, I lived in Chicago for 12 years and loved listening to him. Effortless style. Baily on the other hand is anything but effortless.
  18. bighat
    Sounds like the Cubs' fake audio guy needs to work on his skills. Sounds like a 1990's video game or something.
  19. bighat
    Bailey getting drilled, yeeps.
  20. bighat
    No Bux in the starting lineup tonight. Disappointing!
  21. bighat
    Looks like it's streaming on MLB.TV for those of you out of market who have that package.
  22. bighat
    Nah. Despite being constantly overlooked by TD members, Jorge Polanco is an elite bat and we should get him as many ABs as possible. I'm guessing Baldelli knows that. Arraez is a great backup leadoff hitter if anything happens to Jorge. Right now I think you bat him 8th, Buxton 9th.

    Had the season started on time, Chacin could have pitched himself into the 5th or emergency starter role with Rich Hill completely out of the mix. Alas, that window has closed. Never liked the move, frankly, seems washed up to me. No harm, no foul for take a flyer though, I guess. I'm sure the guy will catch on with a non-contender at some point this season.
  24. bighat
    I think Sano could step in and be ready for opening day....anyone else?
  25. bighat
    I could see a non-competitive NL team without a solid righty DH taking a flyer on him.
