    So if I'm reading between the lines correctly, you think they should go straight to Chattanooga.
  2. nicksaviking
    You'll have to be more specific.

    In 1987 Tom Brunasky was the #7 hitter most of the season, but they had an off day on May 18th, and I'm nothing if I ain't poetic.

    [ I got the loser too: On May 18th of 1991 the Twins #7 hitter was Shane Mack.

    I wonder how Molitor keeps it together when he looks at that group and thinks, gee one of these guys is going to be my #7 hitter.
  6. nicksaviking
    And miss out on all the 3000 hit hoopla?!
  7. nicksaviking
    About all our Homer Hankys are good for with this offense.
  8. nicksaviking
    Did Molitor just forfeit? I'd accept that.
  9. nicksaviking
    Only in the top half of the innings.

    Is it just me or does Buxton start every at bat with two strikes before he even steps in the box?
  11. nicksaviking
    How's their catcher look?
  12. nicksaviking
    Then she should see that the household needs additional representation.

    I don't know, are these Brewer subs good players? Or are the just good against the Twins. Who's this Choi character?

    Get yer wife a username and password already. This ain't Augusta, women are allowed here.
  15. nicksaviking
    Wow, your Arby's sounds pretty fancy.
  16. nicksaviking
    Plus the rest of the state absolutely loathes Fargo. Grand Forks probably too. Funny, they still rabidly cheer for our college teams.

    I guess I don't think Realmuto is a great catcher. He's pretty good, but nowhere near great in my view. I'd say there are only two great catchers in the game and as soon as Posey's inevitable fall off of a cliff occurs, which should be any day now, it will only be Gary Sanchez. I'd trade for Realmuto if it isn't too prohibitive, but I guess I just don't see the urgency now. I was in favor of Garver getting the lion's share of the games behind the plate over Castro to beginning the year. Maybe the idea of the potential of Garver's bat intrigues me more than others.

    You can't put Lynn in the minors, he's long out of options I'm sure. His track record also shows a troubling over-reliance on fastballs and issues with conditioning. Those are issues that are as concerning as his control and likely part of the contributing factors for his lack of it. He needs a full off-season with a club and he needs to dramatically change his approach and his repertoire. The Twins are just throwing away starts if they think what ails Lance Lynn can be fixed on the fly mid-season. He should move to the pen, that's going to be his final destination anyway, just as everyone was saying from the day he was called up his rookie year.
  20. nicksaviking
    e] You're not the only one, I'm skeptical. But he's going to get his shot, might as well be now before Santana gets back seeing as the only other option is Slegers.
  21. nicksaviking
    If the starter gets yanked after 3 and Hughes can't be trusted to go directly in and be the long man, why is he still on the team? Hughes needs to be DFA'd, Lynn needs to be the long man and Gonsalves should get his look.

    I've seen this one before in 2003. The team had a bunch of pretty good young hitters who just didn't seem to be syncing up their productivity. They traded for a veteran outfielder in Shannon Stewart who was a good-not-great player but who brought a name-brand excitement to the clubhouse which sparked the team the rest of the year. I'd see about trying to get Adam Jones. He's not the OBP machine Stewart was but he's a name-brand vet that would get young guys excited. And he's right handed and can play CF. This team really needs a RH bat.

    He shouldn't have had to mention why. This isn't a video game, Javier is a living breathing actual human being facing a less than certain surgery that has a 9 month recovery time and he will be physically incapacitated for a long length of time. If an 18-year-old wants to see if rest and recovery will work first, it's his right, and it was probably the best decision for him.
  24. nicksaviking
    Another great lesson Heezy, thanks for sharing your expertise!

    You will be perma-banned should we find out that you caused Gibson to backslide.
