July 18, 20179 yr I'm a Granite fan and think he has a future. But seems to me early returns are someone not yet ready or pressing. Can we just stop now with how easy it would be to trade one of our starting OF?I was not impressed with Granite's throw to second when the runner advanced. Granite appears to have the same arm as Ben Revere.
July 18, 20179 yr True story: While in Nebraska for Christmas with the extended family, I was maybe 4-5....as the minister walked down the aisle, I yelled out "here come da judge". My grandmother was not amused, and asked how often we went to church back home....Hawwww..... Over here, it's still AM. I have to confess to bubbling my morning coffee into my nostrils on that one. High Five!
July 18, 20179 yr Wow, Duff. Wow, Adrianza. Methinks it's bye-bye for Esco at the deadline- which would make me sad, but I'd understand.
July 18, 20179 yr Wow, what a snag by Adrianza. That's the glove that was advertised.Incredible! Polanco would not have made that play. I rest my case regarding how incredibly valuable it is to have a talented defensive shortstop who can really flash the glove and come up with big plays. It can save you games!
July 18, 20179 yr I believe I've seen, tonight, Adrianza make two plays that I'm not sure Polanco would have made. If Adrianza's bat is for real then Polanco is trade bait.
July 18, 20179 yr I was not impressed with Granite's throw to second when the runner advanced. Granite appears to have the same arm as Ben Revere.A lot of people have been maintaining he's best suited as a fourth outfielder. Such players sometimes masquerade as starters for bad teams.
July 18, 20179 yr Author Automate the Strike Zone. if the ump is gonna miss by that much. I was against it before but not anymore. That called strike 3 on Vargas was way off the plate.
July 18, 20179 yr OMG, what a ****e call! 1st MLB K goes down as a gift from the ump. That really sucks.
July 18, 20179 yr How do the Yankees have a LHer they can call up who can hit 97?The same reason that pitch on Vargas was actually called a strike. Conspiracy!!
July 18, 20179 yr And I'm gladly proven wrongMolitor made the right call there. I guess that's why I'm not making the calls.The both of you are being pretty gracious, considering it took a web-gem from Adrianza to make you "wrong". OTOH if getting a play like that one is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
July 18, 20179 yr These are two AAA arms baffling the twins tonight. Great luxury for NY to have to not have to rely on a 47 year old sideshow
July 18, 20179 yr These are two AAA arms baffling the twins tonight. Great luxury for NY to have to not have to rely on a 47 year old sideshow Hey! He is not a day over 46 and a half!
July 18, 20179 yr The both of you are being pretty gracious, considering it took a web-gem from Adrianza to make you "wrong". OTOH if getting a play like that one is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If did, but he kept the ball on the ground. I wouldn't have liked Mejia's chances of that.
July 18, 20179 yr I believe I've seen, tonight, Adrianza make two plays that I'm not sure Polanco would have made. If Adrianza's bat is for real then Polanco is trade bait.The Twins seem to be able to turn around mediocre shortstops and make them viable.Nunez went from a complete bust at SS to a viable utility guy who started to hit around .300.Escobar was thought to be a AAAA player at best and has shown some pop and can start without being a liability.Adrianza, if he keeps it up, is a guy who couldn't hit to save his life but now he suddenly is.

Sometimes it just takes the opportunity. The Twins have been great at giving opportunity.
July 18, 20179 yr How do the Yankees have a LHer they can call up who can hit 97? Heard he was available in the Rule 5 draft. The Twins weren't interested apparently.
July 18, 20179 yr Was I the only one barking at my computer screen to Zack to let Eddie throw that one back in?
July 18, 20179 yr Sometimes it just takes the opportunity. The Twins have been great at giving opportunity. They sure have given Cooper some nice opportunities tonight.
July 18, 20179 yr Alright, now I legitimately don't like Garrett Cooper for reasons that have nothing to do with his brothers.

July 18, 20179 yr It always baffles me when I read RBI aren't a valuable way to measure offensive production. Getting a pitch to hit, and often doing something with it, is absolutely a skill, and an important one.Yeah the guys who have won things like triple crowns, it's hard with all of these new stats to tell if they were really that valuable to their team or not
July 18, 20179 yr Heard he was available in the Rule 5 draft. The Twins weren't interested apparently.He probably wasn't available when the Twins picked.
July 18, 20179 yr Maybe I wasn't so wrong.I just came back on to type the exact same thing. Guess I got ninja'd. I wonder how many more blown 7th inning leads it'll take to get Duffey demoted to low leverage innings...
