In Response to 2013 Game 43: Twins at Braves,
- sean: There was some thought at The BookTango’s Blog that the players would be against it since the Win is often used in...
- spookymilk: That’s probably why the managers don’t have the cojones to do it.
- spookymilk: Whoa, now.
- sean: A(H)Rcia!
- sean: H(R)icks!
- Jeff A: If Hicks would start to hit, that would at least be a bright spot.
- ubelmann: Worley has been a disappointment. His strikeout rate has dropped so far that I wonder if he’s healthy. His pitch velocity...
- Jeff A: Much as we’ve criticized the pitching staff, and much as it’s deserved it, the offense hasn’t exactly been...
- ubelmann: I don’t follow Phil Mackey at all, but look at the Twins’ offseason from a high level, it’s hard to see...
- AMR: Clap Clap Clapclapclap!
- Beau: we could use an innings eater
- AMR: Wait until Deduno shows up! You get a BB! And you get a BB! You get a K! And you get a K!
- AMR: Miguel Sano for Livan Hernandez and cash. Get it done, Terry Smith!
- Jeff A: Thielbar is in the game!
- sean: The Rockies made a half-baked attempt last year. I think a rotation of pairs of four would be a great idea. Plus, it makes a...
- Zack: You know, I really miss Francisco Liriano.
- cheaptoy: I’d love to see a bad team experiment in the majors, especially since bad teams seem to often have bad starters. A...

- nibbish: 2012 me would be mildly horrified to hear of the idea of the 2012 staff being brought up from the minors to improve the 2013...
- sean: The Astros might be willing. In the minors, they have a first starter and then a second starter for each game.
- cheaptoy: I’m saying I’m going to get my hopes up for the thing that will make me sad next month instead of the thing that...
- Jeff A: Maybe I’ll see if John D’Acquisto would be willing to come out of retirement.
- yickit: I guess I don’t understand the beef. The starting staff certainly doesn’t look good in any case.
- cheaptoy: Might be time to just make the whole damn pitching staff the bullpen. Forget even trotting the starters out there unless they...
- SBG: After that Vance Worley shelling Twins starting pitchers have a 5.69 ERA this season. Last year they had a 5.40 ERA.— Aaron...
- Philosofer: Are you saying you prefer Gibson/Buxton/Sano 2016 > 2015 > 2014 > tomorrow?
In Response to The Black Keys – Little Black Submarines ,
- Philosofer: I’m with you. It’s decent, but doesn’t grab me.
