August 22, 20179 yr So YOU'RE one of the 36 people at this game?Yep. And I'm not sharing my vantage point for this one lest my identity be easily revealed. But I could really use a shower after sitting through that first game. But I suppose you didn't need to know that.
August 22, 20179 yr Yep. And I'm not sharing my vantage point for this one lest my identity be easily revealed. But I could really use a shower after sitting through that first game. But I suppose you didn't need to know that.I hope you aren't down the LF line by the pole
August 22, 20179 yr Perhaps it was a chunk of junk that Polanco clunked.That makes you sound like Dr. Seuss
August 22, 20179 yr A rude woman stole a ball from a young manI wouldn't do that. I've had the opposite done to me, though.
August 22, 20179 yr Dozier is no longer the master of the high fastball. He now does the same with the low fastball. And Fulmer is done. Edited August 22, 20179 yr by Blake
August 22, 20179 yr I remember the crowd that wanted Carson Fulmer prior to the 2015 draft. Safe to say that Tyler Jay isn't looking any better though.
August 22, 20179 yr Man, I'm getting so soft. I feel terrible for the opposing pitcher.Hey, I'm there with you.
August 22, 20179 yr Hey, I'm there with you.Only because I was a pitcher all the way through college and the mound is a lonely lonely place when you're getting destroyed. Makes it all the worse that was his debut start
August 22, 20179 yr Did I just see why Vargas isn't on the club unless absolutely necessary? Did he just jog out a double play with a man on 3rd?
August 22, 20179 yr Did I just see why Vargas isn't on the club unless absolutely necessary? Did he just jog out a double play with a man on 3rd?That or because he's really slow.
August 22, 20179 yr Did I just see why Vargas isn't on the club unless absolutely necessary? Did he just jog out a double play with a man on 3rd?That may have been him at full speed... But I get what you're saying.
August 22, 20179 yr Doubleheaders have historically been a split. The White Sox aren't a totally inept team, so can't expect to win all the games here.If they lose the series, then that is reason to be upset. Edited August 22, 20179 yr by drock2190
August 22, 20179 yr It was an example of going young, not him specifically. Stop with the old, never was, players. Apparently that was not clear? I mean, the guy you're citing, Slegers, isn't a top 30 prospect and is unlikely to turn into anything amazing. If I told you Slegers is on the 2019 Twins you'd assume he's a middle reliever and you're probably sad that he's made the team. The young Twins would be Jorge, Romero or Gonsalves - those are legitimate prospects. Romero is on an innings limit, Jorge had mixed results and Gonsalves hasn't really done AAA yet. That leaves you with "the old, never was players". What are you gonna do? Starting pitching wasn't a strength and the team is pretty deep in its starting pitching depth - May, Santiago, Mejia, Enns are all injured. No team is great when it hits starting pitchers 10-15. I'm actually impressed that they have guys as good as Sledgers/Melville/Gee/Wheeler/Hurlburt when they hit that far into their depth. Some nice pickups, even if you don't love seeing them start. In my mind, the Twins have given starts to fringe MLBers three times in the last week due to doubleheader/injury mischief. It worked out with Slegers, didn't with Melville and looks okay with Gee thus far (knocks on wood). Going 2-1 in those games would be nice. "Always look on the bright side of life."
August 22, 20179 yr Today's starter wasn't pitching in an MLB system at this time last year. It's mind boggling to me. Melville was still pitching in Reds system at this time last year, albeit on a rehab assignment. 2017 was his first indy ball experience.
August 22, 20179 yr Nothing I hate worse at a baseball games is drunken, obnoxiously loud, fansYou'd hate watching in my living room
