  1. A look at the color scheme inside the Oakland A's clubhouse:http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/090923g.jpg
  2. suddenly Granite is putting bat on ball nicely exit velocity on those hits is still down in the single digits, but we'll take it
  3. Fair take, I'm just not sure at the deadline that they can deal for that silver bullet we are all hoping for. Don't be surprised if none of these guys are traded, though it seems like people think Kintzler is the most likely. That makes sense. He can be signed back in the offseason if he has some desire to pitch here going forward.
  4. No doubt this will be a bittersweet moment, considering everything that Garcia has done for us
  5. Does anyone else think Kepler could have stolen home off of Kenley Jansen in the 9th inning last night? Didn't realize that Jansen had such a slow set delivery. I thought Mauer should have stolen home off Maeda Tuesday night too. Kepler would need to get a good feel for Jansen's move, and of course a good jump. I assume Molitor would provide cover if Kepler is tagged out. I think it would have been worth a shot.
  6. The national hot take is the Twins need to sell. There's no denying a deadline premium could be had for a mid season trade. However, I think the more strategic trade can happen over the winter meetings, and it needs to happen, and for MLB ready pitching, which I think the Twins will have trouble finding here at the deadline. I don't want to see one of their best players suddenly ripped away at a critical moment right now. Just my thoughts on it. I still want to see this team play. I think they win in Oakland, not get beat like they did in LA or Houston.
  7. Agree. It was a little cynical. I'm just wondering what the logical conclusion to this is, or what the discussion looks like a year from now, if the Twins are in the same position, maybe 10 games over 500 but still in third place and six games out like this season. More selling? Fire Falvey?
  8. 2017: sell Santana, Dozier and Kintzler. Twins are out of it. No brainer. 2018: sell Rosario, Kepler, and Taylor Rogers. Twins are still not on the level of the best teams, these guys are valuable controllable assets, and you might as well get some good young pitching prospects for them. 2019: sell the big boys: Berrios, Buxton and Sano, before they start making the real money. Everyone knows the small market Twins won't be able to afford those big contracts, what with that bad television deal and attendance figures unexpectedly down. Compete in 2020!
  9. Great post. The pennant chase is slipping out of their grasp, let's see how they respond.
  10. This team without Buxton or Sano will struggle to play .500 ball for long. That said, the secondary pieces are good, but Polanco and Granite could easily have been replaced with Adrianza and Grossman, with Kepler or Rosario in center. That right there is a better lineup than what Molitor drew up. At least until Polanco gets straightened out. Granite has no business hitting second right now. Maybe in the future someday.
