  1. Come on, Mauer! We don't pay you to take walks in the late innings! Hit one out! Wait, that was Sano?
  2. Who saw this going to extras tied at 0? The Vegas odds on that must have astronomical.
  3. He didn't throw Mauer a single strike there. Flattering, really.
  4. I think I might have to stop watching before the late inning collapse. Might as well leave on a high note.
  5. Joe Mauer's getting paid millions and he's still robbing fans of souvenir baseballs!? Whatever, Joe.
  6. Quote: "Rettenmund played 13 games in the big leagues after one season in Rochester. That season he was The Sporting News Minor League Player of the Year after hitting .331 with 22 homers for the Red Wings. He was the International League’s Rookie of the Year and MVP in 1968" My first reaction was how does a guy have so much success in AAA and then only go on to play 13 games in the majors? So I looked him up. Turns out it was 13 years.
  7. You're onto something here, but with regard to #3, how could you possibly NOT have questions about Garver after less than a month of major league time? Even if he OPSes 1.000 with good defense, isn't there a SSS warning klaxon going off in your head? I just don't think there's any way around having a stopgap or a big signing. Those are the only two possible options. I lean toward a stopgap, given that we already have Centeno, plus the three other high-minors catchers sloshing around AA and AAA in Turner, Garver, and Murphy.
  8. Luke Bard was charged with a blown save and the win with two innings of scoreless middle relief. What? In the sixth inning? How does that work?
  9. I am willing to eat lots of donuts if a team tenders me a contract. Just saying. Lots of donuts.
  10. The answer to this question shows yet another of the million ways this analysis is flawed. Some teams would absolutely say Nick Gordon, because these teams' - the rebuilding ones' - lack of competitiveness would waste Trea Turner's cheap and young years. So how does the state of the current team fit into the analysis? Short answer, it doesn't. And that's not very helpful.
  11. How in the holy hell would that be funny and/or classic? Besides, Joe Mauer was twice the catcher AJ has been in half the time. Whatever.
  12. Yeah, pretty expected for this season. But I hadn't heard any announcement, so it kind of snuck up on me.
  13. Seems like not allowing contact would be easiest on your days off, actually...
