So if you’re tired of the Same old story Oh, turn some pages I’ll be here when you are ready To roll with the changes*

It’s hard to believe that it has been 17 years since this happened. But it’s true. The Boy is now a high school senior, on the cusp of adulthood [...]

In Response to May 22, 2013: Long Night,
- SBG: Good for you. Your articles are pretty darned good.
- socaltwinsfan: The Minnesota Twins haven’t done enough to improve their starting pitching
- socaltwinsfan: Diamond is also left-handed and gets a ton of ground balls. That is Bill James’ formula for a pitcher that can...
- socaltwinsfan: Well, it looks like Yahoo! has given me the privilege of publishing my own content without sending it to an editor first....
- socaltwinsfan: Yes, but it wouldn’t matter with how he’s pitching so far. Walters and Albers deserve a shot first.
- socaltwinsfan: You don’t like watching a 4.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 3.22 K/BB rate? That would look downright dominant next to the...
- Zack: I think his first start back was Monday and he needs to be in AAA for 10 days before being called up?
- nibbish: And even then, it’s not that I never want to see De Vries pitch with the Twins again (I still think he’ll make at...
- DK: Not officially, but he’s given up 14 earned runs in 7 innings in two Rochester starts.
- Rhubarb_Runner: DeVries still rehabbing?
- nibbish: Yes. They should.
- Zack: I would assume that’s Deduno’s spot. But they’re going to need another starter for Monday, so who gets that...
- Daneekas Ghost: SPOILER
- Daneekas Ghost: Gophers get a lead off double in the bottom of the ninth. Tied 2-2 in the Big Ten tourney first round.
- davidwatts: a sack of potatos? cant be any worse.
- nibbish: That works for me.
- Jeff A: Worley is being sent to AAA. No word yet on who comes up. Or, maybe that’ll just be Deduno’s spot.
- sean: I will defer to Gleeman on this. [sr] Dude,ERA,SO/9,BB/9,O AVG Diamond,4.01,4.5,2.0 ,.287 Pitcher X,4.14,4.4,1.8,.293 [/sr] SPOILER
- socaltwinsfan: The Twins can’t catch a break in their losing streak.
- socaltwinsfan: Especially a guy like Colabello, who was undrafted. Albers and Thielbar were both drafted and then released after having a...
- socaltwinsfan: Diamond is better than Correia. He’s had a couple tough starts, but he’ll be fine.
- sean: The Wolves should expect about $13 million from that pick, in an average draft at least. Also in that post: Melo getting blocked...
In Response to 2013 Game 43: Twins at Braves,
- Jeff A: It strikes me that there’s not a lot of incentive for a manager to innovate in this way. If you have a good team,...
- Philosofer: My point is that I don’t buy the speculation that the players are really against it for arbitration reasons. I do buy...
- sean: That’s great. Go become a lawyer for agents and push the cases of the 90s. I am only passing on the way I’ve read it...
- Philosofer: “Mr./Mrs. Arbiter – my client ranks in the top 10% of the league in 4-inning appearance with 2 or fewer runs...
- spookymilk: Yeah, I’ve read that as well. It was in relation to Saves, but obviously, the same principle applies.
- sean: It’s the arbitrators. They aren’t baseball people (which is the point), so using things like wins is easy to...
- bhiggum: The pitching staff’s stats may have broken Jeff A. He seems out of kilter.
- Philosofer: That theory drives me crazy, since any agent worth their salt will use whatever stats are available (as would any FO), and...
