BTW, I'll say it again.  If a real 1B is out there, the runner is out for out #3.  All that nonsense that happened after that was when they should have already been in the dugout.  Doesn't excuse Duffy's breakdown at all, but again.  Defense matters.  Playing people out of position all the time has consequences.

Wait, this isn't like little league where every player has to get playing time in both the infield and the outfield?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but that counts as being connected with social media. You don't have your own account so you can brag you don't have one ... yet follow your wife's. Uh huh ... doesn't count then. You

The Twins packed up, left Atlanta and made the trek to Kansas City to face the suddenly hopeful Royals for a 4 game series. Suddenly hopeful because Danny Duffy and Wade Davis say they can do it. The

As a social media hold out, I've survived just fine.  I don't feel like I'm missing a thing and comments like these simply reinforce that.  This is as close as I come to social media, and I'm okay wit

The Cubs move people around a lot, but the guys who get shuffeled can actually play the positions they get moved to well.  Like Bryant is a very good 3B, but sometimes others needs to play, so he gets moved out to OF where he's showed competence and an IF gets 3B.  

 

We have very few players who can play their #1 position well.

I have been trying to figure out a drinking game, connect d to Grossmans called third strikes. But three beers a game doesn't seem enough.

If your goal is to get completely annihilated, just change it to drink a beer every time he takes any called strike. And when he looks slow in the outfield. And when he noodle arms a throw. And every time we complain about him in the game thread.

 

Don't blame me if you die though.

I had not considered his multifaceted abilities.

Remember when so many people were talking about how great Grossman was, and that we found a diamond in the rough, and that he was still young,  and wondering why it was unreasonable to believe he put the pieces together now that he was with us,and so on and so forth.

 

Good times.

honest question because i haven't been following our minor league teams at all: can i expect to see any of our flamethrowing RPs this season or have they all been disappointments so far?

Bigger question may be whether or not they actually get called up.

I wish I got paid as much as Danny Santana to suck that bad at my job.

The best way I've found to do that is be born into a royal family or be part of the cabal of a strongman in a mineral rich country. Keanu Reeves might have better advice than I do

Keanu Reeves doesn't take kindly to you insulting his work ethic. Better watch your back!
