[Richie the Rally Goat]

Any thoughts on Colabello, Suzuki, and Kubel?

All three hitting much better than I expected, Kubel hasn't been terrible in the field. Cola looked pretty good at 1. I expected more defensively from Zuke, but maybe my expectations were unreasonable.

[lyndon]

Just like everyone thought: offense is terrible, pitching is solid

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Fricken Bartlett!

[ashbury]

Colabello is on fire, Suzuki is quieting the non-believers, and Kubel... well, I can only say he is becoming an interesting (though productive) question mark.

 

Fair enough. And Nolasco isn't doing well.

[LaBombo]

Any thoughts on Colabello, Suzuki, and Kubel?

In 2016 we will all be amazed that the team relied on Colabello, Suzuki, and Kubel just two years ago. Still hoping Cola's improvement is real, though.

[Gibby]

Here we go,

[Mr. Brooks]

Bartlett is so athletically gifted he can play anywhere.

[twinscowboysbulls]

I think it's fair to say that Bartletts services are no longer needed.

[lyndon]

Hey everybody. Don't get mad at Bartlett. He's so bad out there, surely...I mean surely they'll never let him play out there again. Ahhh, never mind.

[mikecgrimes]

At this point wouldn't the Twins be better off playing 5 infielders?

[BigTrane]

Fair enough. And Nolasco isn't doing well.

And so, my remark...

Nolascoo hasn't looked sharp today, doesn't seem to have an out pitch.

So, how long do you run him? I know Gardy's M.O., but we have a good 'pen

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Bartlett! Holy crap

[Riverbrian]

This is turning into a nightmare.

[Gibby]

I bet I could find a couple guys at the closest bar that could play better left field than Bartlett.

[mikecgrimes]

Wow that was a single Jason. I don't care if your blind and have no legs you can't make those mistakes.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I think it's fair to say that Bartletts services are no longer needed.

Do you sub him out with Escobar, or Pinto?

[lyndon]

hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

hat-trick

[twinscowboysbulls]

They have officially exposed Bart.

[70charger]

Any thoughts on Colabello, Suzuki, and Kubel?

 

Worst. Law firm. Ever.

 

 

also can we be done with the Bartlett in left field experiment? Please?

[Ultima Ratio]

I'm tired of an organization and manager that say they are about defense and the little things vis-a-vis defense and the "twins way" -- yet continually roster bad players and play them out of position.

 

I'm calling bull&$*^ and am fed up with it.

 

Corner OF need to be able to play decent defense too, especially if don't hit like Bartlett.

[GCTF]

How many runs would a lineup of nine Florimons score in a season? 100? Less?

 

What if the lineup of Florimons were to hit against PJ Walters with an outfield of Bartletts and an infield of Nishiokas?

[Riverbrian]

And so, my remark...

Nolascoo hasn't looked sharp today, doesn't seem to have an out pitch.

So, how long do you run him? I know Gardy's M.O., but we have a good 'pen

 

He could be alright... His location was horrible today. Off day

[Richie the Rally Goat]

And this is why you don't go into the season without a 4th outfielder who can play center...

[Dance with Disco Dan]

¿Cuál describe Bartlett?

 

1) We live with the strikeouts because his glove is special.

 

2) He is a butcher in the field but, boy, he mashes.

 

3) He has compromising photos of Gardy.

[Halsey Hall]

Didn't Swarzak want high leverage situations?

[Ultima Ratio]

You want to know why you can't give money away to get good pitchers here (sure), try shoring up your defense.

[stringer bell]

Unseriously, Atchison looks like a couple guys on my slow-pitch softball team (yeah, we're old).

Seriously, Nolasco couldn't get anything down and had real problems locating his fastball. Bartlett reminds me of Nishi but at a different position, and Escobar should have been put in left field.

[Danchat]

Y'know, I think there is some merit to the complaining about not having a backup outfielder. Bartlett stinks out there.

[LaBombo]

Bartlett! Holy crap

But it's ok, because he's just the 25th man, and will have virtually no effect on the performance of the team...

[twinsnorth49]

He could be alright... His location was horrible today. Off day

 

 

Again?
