Comrade Bork

I'm dying for a 3-4 3 RBI night from Polanco! SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT!

Pulled a righty for a righty to face a righty.

Is this one of those things where good managing goes unnoticed, but bad managing sticks out like a sore thumb. It's easy to point at one game and throw Molly under the bus, but I'm rarely thinking, 'wow, what a great move'in any of his games. How much credit can we give to Molitor for our young players development? Is he pushing the right buttons or is it just our young guys figuring it out? If you can credit Molly for any of the turn around it would be tough to fire him.

Boy he sure does talk funny though lol. Go get em Dozier!

If you don't hold him accountable he's going to keep writing the same crap. It's more attention than he deserves but it's worth it to our media outlets honest. I'd bet that about 30% of people still support Souhan despite clear evidence of his knee jerk, inflammatory writing.

Stats, as in page views? Like as readers we show who we support by who we click? To that, I would say, I just want the scoop, I don't care who broke it. So if I'm reading Gleeman, I'm not thinking he's got a new hot take, I just want to know what's going on. I don't give him credit for breaking the news, I give him credit for writing well and being entertaining. There are many blogs all writing the same news. Or did I just misinterpret what you meant?

The only* people who care about who broke the story are the authors themselves.

I'd love to see Souhan tell Sano to his face that he is fat. Edit: I'd love to see Souhan imply to Sano that he is fat.

Gleeman's statistical analysis is far more insightful than locker room player interviews. How can anyone believe that access = quality? The worst part is, Souhan is getting more attention over this article than anything he's written this year. Yeah, it's bad attention, but those clicks and mentions still generate revenue.....

The best thing you'll see in a minute. Courtesy of Parker Hageman. thanks bro.

That's amazing. thank you for the follow up. See, I crimp Cat5. This cinching business was way over my head..

Does anyone else watch the opposing teams streams on reddit? Its fascinating listening to outside views. They just said "boy does buxton look good" The blue jays guys are very fair. + and - for both teams. edit: They really like Joe Mauer. Apparently there are 16 active players with a BA over .300. Joe is 7th.

What's the background for this phrase? Like are lead pipes like a sure thing? or?

Aww yeah! Keep crushing it Royce!

Woot Woot! Let's see some Stephen!

Good stuff, I haven't seen Slegers name come up at all for a call up or even a roster spot next season. What are the chances he can contribute next year?

his career UZR at short is .4 which currently Ties him with Dansby Swanson at #16 in the league. Though the -6 from last year doesnt do much to encourage... lol

In 2255 innings at SS for the Twins, Escobar has a .978 Fielding %. Ill take that + his bat at SS everyday. Though, now with Mauer out and Vargas down, that means more time at third for him. Polanco is getting the opportunity, now he has to run with it.

You are just conflicted about your feelings for Big Sexy. It's OK, he loves us all.

Any team in baseball can beat another on any given night. Even a couple average pitchers could squeak this team into the playoffs. No guarantees we are this close next year.

Keep mashing 'em Rooker!

10 yards a second is insane... Wow!

I gotta say he wasn't on my radar as trade bait. The upside is still there and we have the depth for it. I'd swap him for an above average reliever with some control left on his contract.

Yeah, my thoughts were, get him cheap after a down year. He's a much better bounce back candidate than some of the other guys the twins have signed. Only 3 years removed from a Cy young in a pitchers park. Mostly I just want the twins to spend cash instead of prospects for starting pitching not named Pelfrey

The FO is clearly trying to stack prospects, I don't think they deal any top prospects during the season. I'd deal Gordon 1 for 1 a #2-3 starter. What I really want is for the Twins to go after Arrieta in free agency. Lure him away from the cubs with the promise of Buxton in center.
