Fuld saw a concussion specialist in Pittsburgh.

 

Initial report was positive per Berardino .... but who knows if that's the whole story.

 

So.. the Twins packed up Fuld with some sandwiches and magazines and put him on the Greyhound for Pittsburgh, since flying aggravates concussion symptoms.. Ok I better stop while I'm ahead :)

Yes actually... I think he should be playing every day.

 

Fair enough. I do not think that, thus why the "typical Gardy" struck me as incorrect...much like your opinion ;)

LOL, I thought about the no flying too when I read that he flew there. But maybe it doesn't apply if you've had the concussion for more than 2 weeks.

That's a nice syllogism you got yourself there :)

Guess it is too late to post about pinto.......

 

Never. Gardy's fascination with Suzuki, even as he fades from over-use is beyond aggravating.

Punto starting tonight is a no-brainer. In the last 14 days, Punto has been the starting catcher twice, both of the last 2 Saturdays and DH'd once. So apparently he's going to catch for Deduno one day a week and DH once or twice a week? Even though Pinto projects as the 4th (or maybe 5th) best hitter? And currently the Twins' 2nd best hitter in OPS and wOBA?

 

Gardy being Gardy, falling in love with a certain veteran, to that veteran's eventual detriment through overuse and overexposure.

 

You've hit on something. If Pinto changes his name to Punto, Gardy will start him every day. He won't be able to help himself. Why has no one suggested this sooner?

When's the last time we hit a grand slam? We get about one a year, while other teams hit something around four a year. Sorry I don't have any stats, but I think I'm right.

The curse of being Deduno's personal catcher. Pinto starts tomorrow. Should he be DHing tonight? I think so, but those opportunites are going to be less with corner OFs Arcia and Willingham back. I hope Pinto catches for Nolasco and perhaps the rotation can be Pinto with Nolasco and Deduno and Suzuki catching the other three, with a DH assignment once or twice a week.

I wonder if the only reason Pinto ever catches is because Suzuki doesn't want to catch Deduno.

Twins cleanup hitters, as a group, in 2014: .197/.251/.345. OPS is .008 better than the OPS of the 8th place hitters.

 

AKA Collabello, with a bit of icing on the urinal cake from Parm. Ugly. Arcia should help, against righties anyway.

 

Edit: Don't get me wrong, great story, will buy his book when it comes out (or at least sit in B&N and speed-read it for free), but man, that didn't pan out...

Passing a kidney stone is beyond aggravating. Walking 20 miles through a desert without water or clothing is beyond aggravating.

 

If playing Suzuki has reached that level? I'm turning the TV off.

Nah, they put him in the Twins cap bullpen car with an intern behind the wheel. And before anyone becomes angered over them not using public transit, word has it that it's a tri-brid that runs off electric, gas, or Twins Way.
