    Which won't matter in Toronto

    C'mon Ray they are 10 over rite now

    Reuse? I have a hard time getting through the first use with that guy.

    I agree with much of what you state, but Berrios was ranked about the 30th best pitcher in MLB his last few years with us. Strong number 2 borderline number 1. You could count on close to 200 innings and 200 strikeouts. I'm a fan of Jose and I like the trade.

    This is what I was thinking, you just said it better. When you watch the video you can see his knee shudder at impact. Just like blocking kicks in MMA, you get your foot off the ground so the impact gets dispersed. If he was in the air with his right foot off the ground, the impact wouldn't have been compounded by the ground.

    Very strange, when you watch the video, it doesn't appear his knee his the wall anyway. Must've been the jarring impact.

    The smooth vocal stylings of LaTroy, I'll just settle back and enjoy ?

    I'll take the smooth vocal stylings of the Hawk any day. At one point last night when he piped up I realized we had had some delicious moments of silence. Less is MORE. JM seems like a nice guy but man, edit, edit, edit. Every game I say to the TV, alright ALRIGHT, I get it man.

    Tom Kelly was never a good player, had a personality that is best described as good behind the scenes and an overall record 202 games under .500 yet he is well liked by the fan base. I guess that's what 2 WS championships will do for ya. Ron Gardenhire was an irascible, cheap beer drinking scrub utility infielder from Oklahoma with a career record 80 games over .500. His teams made the playoffs many times, but had no success there. He was also well liked by the fan base. Rocco Baldelli is a totally different animal. A top prospect from the east coast, the start to his major league career showed much promise. The guy could really play, but a rare condition led to many injuries, ending his career prematurely. He stayed in baseball learning ins and outs at one of the more forward thinking organizations in baseball. He is a more sophisticated type, articulate and married to an artist. In 3 short years he has 2 division titles and is already 41 games over .500 in spite of a down year last year. The guy is not universally liked by the fan base however. Even after wins people will go out of their way to say how the Twins won in spite of him. I guess we prefer everyman types, over achievers who drink cheap beer and kick dirt at umpires.

    Lewis fired that one

    Small ball

    On some apps like the DTV app I stream the twins, on when I travel I just have to make sure the location permission is off then the app will presume I am in my billing zip code.

    Archer must've done downward dog in the dugout after the first
  14. wabene
    Archer just seems so rushed out there. Burning extra energy. Yoga?
  15. wabene
    The part you are missing is they are not keeping him out to avoid injury, they are managing an existing injury.
  16. wabene
    He probably ate his Wheaties with a bat shaped spoon.

    A great problem

    wabene commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    Buxton, Correa, Lewis and Polanco. Polo just plays everyday and produces. Quiet guy, he gets forgotten.

    Hearing that cartilage is involved is sobering. That stuff doesn't grow back.

    The current hitting coach, Popkins, has Kepler finally going the other way and has Larnach back to his center left power stroke. He has the club swinging a 113 OPS+ this season whereas James Rowson as the bench coach and offensive coordinator for the Marlins has them at OPS+ of 99 this year, 80 last year and 89 the year before.

    Garlic mashing leftys is a thing, but is it enough of a gap over Celestino's bat to make up for the wide gulf in defensive prowess? Defense has been a huge part of the success this season. Do they even win yesterday without Gio's plays? I do not enjoy watching Garlic in the field.
  21. wabene
    I'm sure Buxton just mentioned in an off-handed way a threshold he'd like to pass not taking into account the backlash that might occur.
  22. wabene
    224–183 He is a unique type character in the sports world personality wise and I appreciate individuals. He has an interesting backstory as a player, a little tragic and at one time was quite the player. I'm sure this gives him the gravitas and perspective players can relate to. He comes from a good organization. Pisano. I like the new structure of the Twins front office and Rocco fits in well with it. I don't like to complain all the time. It's not all roses Eprav, his taste in music. Phish? C'mon man.

    Baldelli the rogue agent of the Twins demise, ha ha ha. I crack myself up.
  24. wabene
    It is quite remarkable that you and I share the same interest in the Twins, but I read your post and don't not share any opinion with you. Your post may as well be in a foreign language. Do people really believe Baldelli is making decisions alone and against the will of others? C'mon now that is just dumbfounding.
  25. wabene
    I'm sorry but this thread is just ridiculous. The incentives for all involved are for Buxton to play. If the right decision is to rest or play him, that is what will happen. Why? Because the people making the decisions are not morons. Kind of like our healthcare system. The incentives are for profit. A few people are getting incredibly rich.
