Avian Flu > 2015 Minnesota Twins

[DaveW]

Glad to see Nolasco serious about that great rebound year this year!

[gunnarthor]

My God, what a bad outing.  I managed to catch the first two innings but had to go back to work.  He's the real problem.  With all that money, I don't think they'll drop him from the rotation for a while.

[gunnarthor]

Right now, i'd see if the Dodgers wanted to exchange bad contracts with Either straight up.  

[twinscowboysbulls]

Oh my lanta. What are we doing wrong with this guy that will get fixed once we dump him?

 

How poorly can a guy pitch?

[Mike Sixel]

Either Nolasco or who? Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

This, imo, is why you should spend money on Elite players, and not mediocre players......like, would you rather have one great pitcher and some AAA guy, or Nolasco and Santana (pre-roids)?

[Mike Sixel]

Nolasco>>>>>Simian flu from planet of the Apes, though....so he's got that going for him.

I wonder if more than 10% of posters know what this is about.

 

God bless Joe Mays.

The Twins won't be contending this season or next season based on the current talent level of the roster. Nolasco along with many of the vets are really just a stop gap, so that the team isn't using minor league players to field a team. The best that we can hope for is that the players in the minors develop (Berrios, Stewart, Meyer, May) so that when Nolasco's contract runs, he wouldn't have made the rotation anyway!  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bad news. We will own Nolasco until his contract expires in 2037, or until we cut him. 

[Danchat]

Wow, it didn't take long into the season for this topic to come back!

 

So, the big question is

 

Jeff Gray > Ricky Nolasco ???

[HitInAPinch]

Put me in coach!!  Oh, sure, in the shape I'm in my arm will probably fall off after a dozen pitches. 

But, HEY, at least I won't give up 6 runs

Pathetic.

[70charger]

Ahhh... I love regular season baseball!

[notoriousgod71]

 

Pathetic.

Season over.

Is it accurate to say that there is not really anyone on the team who does anything well as far as playing good baseball goes? Seems like Vargas and Santana have the potential to do things well (maybe Arcia too?). I guess Hughes throws strikes well, Perkins can get some people out. Outside of that it seems like there is no one who is really good at playing baseball in any aspect. Is that correct? I mean good not average here.

The problem with these three loses is not the fact that they were losses. Losses happen. It's that there was not ONE redeeming thing from those three games. The offense has looked terrible. The pitching has looked terrible. The defense has looked terrible. And, frankly, the coaching decisions haven't been very good either (sitting Arcia against a Righty).

 

Not a single thing to hang our hats on.

 

Well.... there's IS one thing: http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?sid=milb&org=142&ymd=20150409

Speaking of avian flu.... A guy that should be on the Twins roster by mid-summer is about to take the mound to close out the AA opener.

 

Nick Burdi... come on down
