  1. Mauer reached first in 3 out of 4 trips to the plate, but it's somehow his fault we lost? I honestly don't get how he's somehow held to superhuman standards that nobody else is.
  2. Yes, I will give him a mulligan on that first inning. He was signed late and it was about 40 degrees at game time. We'll talk again if he still looks like this on his next couple of starts.
  3. The Twins splitting in New York is the prediction I found most unlikely. Given our history of futility there, I think we'd be lucky to leave Yankee Stadium with one win.
  4. I'd like to see a few more starts before we declare these guys to be the Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux of their generation, but that sure was a fun series to watch.
  5. Stop being all rational. Didn't you see the comment at the top? Oh well, there's always next year.
  6. Have a look at numbers for prosecutions and convictions in rape cases. It's grossly under reported to police to begin with, and then only a fraction are prosecuted, and fewer still are convicted. Rape victims are further traumatized at each stage by police who often don't believe them, prosecutors who don't put perps on trial because the cases aren't slam dunks, and defense attorneys who blame the victims. Yeah, I'd say "widespread toleration" is a pretty accurate description. The #MeToo movement doesn't suggest the opposite, it's just swung the needle closer to something rational for women who are survivors of sexual assault and harassment.
  7. Based in large part on pretty much everyone she knows believing her.
  8. Can he play third? It's not going to take long for the Twins brain trust to figure out that Sano isn't going to be able to hold down the hot corner at 300 lbs and will need to move him to DH.
  9. MLB and the club have a higher standard of proof to meet before they can suspend a player. The rest of us are free to come to our own conclusions based on what evidence we found, and what I found is that Betsy is credible and that this fits a pattern of behavior for Sano.
  10. We'll never know for sure what happened in this kind of he-said-she-said story, but personally I believe Betsy, not only because she has little to gain and a lot to lose by telling her story, but also because of his misbehavior with the stadium ushers with the Chattanooga Lookouts and other credible reports of misbehavior with women. So, good for him that he's been cleared to play by MLB, but suffice it to say that I won't be buying any Sano jerseys.
  11. Kind of tired of everyone blaming Sano's weight on his inability to train during the off season. You don't get to 300 lbs. by lack of training, you get there by eating everything you can reach. As someone noted earlier, that extra 50 lbs is going to catch up with him, if it hasn't already, in injuries.
