    Lol yes I was referring to my point as a pointless quibble, but if you want to be offended by that and infer that I was only referring to you or whatever it was that got you worked up, go for it. I don't care what the officials in NY think, they made a mistake and most would agree and side with the refs on the field who were put in an awkward position by those officials.

    This is evidence that the replay officials got played and should be embarrassed. Who is it that should be suspended?

    You are right I guess that it didn't beat him easy, but the rest of what you say doesn't make sense. "unless he is in possession of the ball or making a “legitimate attempt” to receive a throw" Just looking at this passage you quoted it clearly wouldn't matter if the play was close or not, in possession or making an attempt means the ball is there or arriving. All that said this is just a pointless quibble.

    He did double clutch it but that was irrelevant. The throw beat him easy anyway.

    Mr Miranda is fun to watch.

    Man that was a damn exciting baseball game! The drama! My paisano Mr Baldelli is not prone to histrionics, to the consternation of many, but by golly he showed his deep knowledge of the game today as well as how strong his ability is to not over react by the contrast of his actions today. I have never enjoyed dirt being kicked on home plate more!

    Nice job Sands! Let go bats!

    Well finally caught up tothe broadcast thanks to my fast forward finger and the pitching has exceeded expectations, but the hitting not so much. Sands looks like he's settled down from his first appearances.

    Probably a condition that wouldn't have appeared if he was wasn't the son of a hitting coach who has swung a bat millions of times.

    I agree with Perk, Archer hasn't been as spastic, wasting energy on the mound, but the results?....
  12. wabene
    Well he is singing a different tune now and that's ok with me. If he can make it as a starter all the better.

    What I remember was in spring training Duran said he was really enjoying the bullpen. He said as a starter he was always sore and he felt great with the reliever workload (paraphrasing).

    Earlier in the year I didn't see Correa coming back next year, but it is now looking like a possibility. The guy has proven to be clutch, however and he could really catch fire the rest of the way. Depth is good and with Royce needing time to get back and the pitching depth available on paper for next year, it could be good.

    I'm just going off what Gleeman said on his podcast. He said he looked pretty shook up and called his wife. I can understand him accepting an assignment to St Paul, the team is winning and needs pitching, he might get another chance yet.

    I agree that Sanchez looked pretty good and could eat some innings for this team. He is not on the active roster however as he was DFAed after his start. He was not happy about it but did clear wavers and is now at St Paul.

    Duffey came up late in 2015 as a starter and started 10 games going 5-1 with a .310 ERA. Very good run and very surprising. Then he reinvented himself as a reliever and had 2 really good seasons (one of them a short season) and one good season. So I guess you could say he was an above average major leaguer for 3 years. Not a bad run, made some tall snaps, good on him! Lucky guy. Edit: Indiana Twin types faster.

    wabene Posted 20 hours ago "I think the Twins are definitely impacted by the tenure of the player. I didn't see them just DFAing Sano and I doubt they'll do that with Duffey. I'm trying to think of any tenured veteran they've done that to and coming up empty (I may be totally off-base here). They will just stash Duffey in low leverage situations till the end of the year and say goodbye after the season. Duffey can eat some innings and not hurt the team." I posted this yesterday and I'm clearly wrong. It's too bad, but probably necessary.

    We get this line of thinking all the time, but I know if it were me and the choices were going under the knife or trying rest and rehab first, I would choose the latter every time.
  20. wabene
    The Twins need to move up this list, where they are is not tenable. I will add, however, that I think the Twins were among the league leaders in innings per start in '19 & '20. This says to me it's more about the horses (Archer is the glaring example) than Baldelli. That would fall on those that aquire the talent.

    Another thing I notice is there is a lot of payroll in the top ten.

    This Jacques Cavé fellow is quite the ballplayer
  24. wabene
    This is it, but I will add that Correa has a clutch/playoff rep and he may well rise to the occasion as the season wears on and accumulate impressive value.
