    Envious? Drinking coffee has become so ingrained in my morning routine that my body now acts exhausted if I don't drink a cup or 2 in the morning.

    You and me both, ExPat. Once it hits 50 something degrees I'm freezing now... All of our Minnesota weather toughness was lost years ago.

    Note: It's the first 70 degree day of autumn in Austin.... So of course, sweaters, uggz, scarves, and flanel apparel is needed today.

    Now I have a legitimate excuse not to work! A co-worker next to me decided one space heater wasn't enough and plugged in 2 space heaters, resulting in blown surge... Phones and internet is down.

    I had a clause put into my offer letter that if my favorite team clinched a playoff spot before the end of the regular season, I can mail it in at work.

    You guys!! Today is National Coffee Day! Currently working on cup #2 this morning!

    I know exactly who to call for this magic healing ointment....

    Can we just go ahead and put Mauer, Polanco, Buxton, Rosario, Dozier, Erv, and Berrios in bubble wrap over the weekend?

    For sure it's making the postseason. At that point, only 10 teams continue playing baseball.

    Does anyone in the world work on Friday afternoons? By 3 PM, let's be honest. Everyone's screening phone calls for Monday and hoping nobody stops by their desk with a work task to accomplish.

    I didn't understand it either. Seemed like an opportune time to get someone like Curtiss, Moya, or hell, even Perkins some work.

    Full disclosure: I have zero connections to the Minnesota Twins. Good luck in your pursuit to get into baseball!

    According to B-Ref, the Twins have now attempted 51 sacrifice bunts on the season. Only the White Sox have attempted more bunts for AL teams. AL League average: 30 attempts. The Twins are successful 51% of the time on their bunt attempts. AL League average: 58% https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/2017-situational-batting.shtml #neverbunt

    When you say nearly identical, you really do mean nearly identical. Holy cow. It's like I'm seeing double. 17 HR 63 RBI, 6 SB, K/BB ratio nearly the same, same .734 OPS. I don't have a lot of complaints about Kepler, besides the abysmal LH/RH splits. He needs to learn how to hit lefties sooner than later.

    This one could go either way, as it looks like there's a lot of duds coming out on network TV for the Fall. If, for example, Gotham can get a 4th season somehow, anything is possible.

    Do we think Rhoda is good enough to be the starting QB throughout this season? Frankly I haven't been impressed with him on the field. A couple good throws here and there, but overall too inconsistent.
  18. Vanimal46
    I assumed they were with Fleck coming on board, but maybe not.
  19. Vanimal46
    Always encouraging to win out in the "cupcake" portion of the schedule. Especially with a young team. Hopefully Brooks and Rodney Smith heal up over the bye. They'll be much needed when they start the conference schedule vs. Maryland.

    Congrats to Mitch Garver on a great season... Though in a perfect world, he wouldn't have qualified and got the call to the majors earlier this year! I've been a big fan of Wade for the last 2 years. I just love his approach at the plate, and think his plate discipline will translate to the majors sooner than later. Now, if he would develop more power, we'd be cooking with gas!

    Would you accept hot dogs from Target Field as proper compensation for your work? If so, you're hired!
  22. Vanimal46
    Well, chances are he's not going to be ready until June-ish next season. And it's tough to rely on someone coming back from Tommy John and be successful right away.
  23. Vanimal46
    You're burying the lead here.... You went to a bar, and ordered Cobb Salad?! No chili cheese fries, burger, or onion rings?!
  24. Vanimal46
    Every superhero needs a sidekick.... I still believe in the core four, and these three are turning into nice supplementary pieces for the core 4.
  25. Vanimal46
    Congrats to all of these guys for having a great season. Perhaps we'll see a Curtiss-like jump from AA to the majors next year for Hackimer.
