Kyle the nibbler is out tonight I see.

 

Oh Geeze, a set-up like that could easily garner me a warning point.

I should have been clearer...

My bad.

More generally, has anyone used a mop for curling?

Or is it against the rules or something. Or would dragging a bucket and a squeezer on the ice be disadvantageous?

(i can see i haven't thought out the implications of such a strategy at all, and perhaps i should do so before i post it... nah, this way's more fun.)

Well, I tried the sites re: curling and all I got was beer sites ;)

We had determined earlier that the Dahli Lama was the nibbler.

Of meaty bits.

Dozier's CS nullified, that would've been another GIDP for Mauer

Our golf sup up here curls and has gone to Worlds the last couple years.  Scotland last year and she got to play St Andrews.  Russia this year, and came in 3rd.

 

It's a shame we can score all these runs to have Gibson give them back.  Sit him down now and we win the bullpen battle.

The Nibbler... a super villain that didn't quite make it on Batman.

Man hicks looks good. Bringing in a LhP against Sano? Make him pay!

  Sigh, I also know curlers.

 

or that report by Jeremy which said the Rockies asked for Gibson... So yeah, there was definitely smoke on this theory bud.

 

His piece said their top target was Gibson and they also were interested in Sano.  For all we know it could have been Gibson+Sano.  They could have been willing to give up Gibson, but Sano was the deal breaker. Who knows.  

 

I just think saying the Twins wouldn't give up Gibson for Tulo is mis-informed and using a small piece of information to make assumption you couldn't possibly know the answer to.

Miguel Sano says hello :)

 

Tell him Hola back... From Me.

  We had a butt slasher when I lived in Chicago in the 70s.

Gibson and how many other guys?

 

or was someone just smoking bud, bud?

I'm starting to like Nunez at SS more than Escobar lately

 

To be fair, your stats are assuming all teams have the same amount of 0-2 counts for and against.  I wouldn't doubt if the Twins were also first (or last or whatever) in getting down 0-2.  Also, I'm not confident our pitchers are frequently up 0-2.  Perhaps 0-2 RBI percentage would be a better measure?  Or are you saying that statisticians just see what they want to see?  

 

Also HICKS!!!  Left handed!  That's why the team hates platoons.  You gotta learn sometime!

 

The Twins are third in the league having 442 PA with 0-2 count this season.  Leading this category Milwaukee with 454.  

 

Meanwhile on the other hand, Twins pitchers are right in the middle, getting to an 0-2 count 392 times, ranking them 16th in the league

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything :)

Being misinformed and not knowing what we're talking about has never stopped any of us before.

 

Feels like there were more.....maybe its all the hits on a 0-2 count.

There have been 15 HR allowed on 1-2 counts, might be why it feels like they've allowed more on 0-2

 

 

No. Play for 4 hours, whoever is leading at end of 4 hours, wins game

 

Which is probably going to happen...and in spectacular fashion.

ploofsie!!!!!

All of them hit by Bautista

So we're withing 3 of where you'd expect on each.  I'd say we could improve on each!

Plouffe!

they are hitting the ball.. 12 hits in less than 5 full innings...
