FO, please release AJ Happ tomorrow.   He is worthless!

Moderator note: It's not very nice to call someone worthless. Thanks, Squirrel

I thought Happ was supposed to be happ-y at home!

Or he is unHAPPy at home.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Happ would have this long of a leash. What a travesty. 

I hope he is getting booed

How do you miss on every offseason signing? When Robles is the big “get”, you know it’s been bad.

Come on, you have to admit that Shoemaker was a good signing.  Without Shoe, I would have spent a considerable amount of time away from my family. "Honey, are you going to be home early tonite? "Yes, dear, Shoemaker is pitching tonite"

Let’s start naming pitchers you’d rather see in 2021 than Happ. I’ll go first. 38 year old Sam Deduno who hasn’t pitched since 2014.

Camilo Pascual - he's only 87 and probably still has that killer deuce.

Eddie Bane

Polanco looks like he's back in 2019 form. He's healthy and smacking the ball around, and even hitting more HRs than expected even with the ball carrying less. It took longer than expected, but at least someone [outside of Cruz] is looking like their 2019 self.

He looks great! He's been on fire lately! We should be entertaining offers for him!

Shoemaker- brutal

happ- brutal

colome- brutal

Robles- so so

simmons- underwhelming 

 

horrendous offseason 

The sad thing is Colome is the only one anyone could be surprised with being this bad. Robles is actually doing BETTER than what I expected.

Maybe - but somebody has to say it - Ron Davis......

Don Mossi would look better in a Twins uni.

 

Got his double, after all.  Thank, you Mr Happ

"Don looked like a taxi cab going down the street with the doors open" - one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite books - Ball Four.

Great book!  Sorry to hear when Bouton passed away, recently.

Hey, Jeffers got his bi-monthly hit.

Twins playing with all the passion and enthusiasm of someone who has been shot up with novocaine. Its going to be a long 10 weeks. I see them finishing only ahead of Baltimore in the AL:.

Phil Hughes!

Hawkins likes the cleveland Guardians' name a lot.  That just confirmed my insight into his thinking.

Thank you for reminding me of this gem. 

So I was thinking…(I know, dangerous) we should make a #1 draft pick standings tracker. You have to admit, that could be fun ?. 

Nelson Cruz with TB Rays had a homer today.

Bert isn’t doing much these days… Maybe he can still spin a curve ball and pitch on a downward plane
