Park is going to hit a lot of home runs this year if pitcher keep hanging those slow curves/breaking balls over the plate.

The club needs to revisit an old slogan to bring some magic back to the franchise. I'm thinking "Minnesota Twins...wish we could forGET TO KNOW 'EM"

 

What a trainwreck

While I suspect if Mauer's return to form is real, it is largely due to being another year removed from the concussion (helped by the things he has himself tried - the eye exercises etc. I think he sometimes gets unfairly painted for not doing enough to work through things. I think he puts in a lot more time than his louder critics give him credit), I think part of his rebound is due to him returning to what works for him - patient at the plate.

 

I have heard a couple of people say how he felt pressure to hit for more power as a `1B, which led to him changing some of his approach - more aggressive swinging etc.  While it is good to mix things up and continue to try and grow, I wonder if he had strayed a little too far from what worked for him.

 

Whatever it is - hopefully this is a more real return to form and not some temporary hot streak.

Well, if I pay for the wedding, she'd better not complain if that's what her present is.

Depends.  Did you give her the other half of a Mc Pick 2 or the free one from the Monopoly pull-off game? If you paid full menu price, I think you're good.

Just no reason to try and steal there down by 3 with mauer and the power guys lurking. No idea what is going on with this club.

It's OK because Dozier can be counted on to not strike out.  And Santana is really fast.

Dozier is trying to Lew Ford himself out of the league...  Lucky he's a middle infielder.  I remember he was interviewed about his 2nd half swoon last season and he said he wasn't concerned (willing to change his approach) because despite the drop in power, he was still scoring runs.  He only scored 34 (67 in the first half).  He's delusional apparently.  Maybe the team can do an intervention and convince him to start attending Pullers Anonymous meetings twice a week.

This team is now 7-17. Brutal. I would give Molitor the benefit of the doubt throughout this season ONLY because the team was competitive last season. If next year begins poorly and no improvement is shown, I would hope he's shown the door. Although if this thing to continues to spiral out of control, the water may get awfully warm by season's end. We have a roster full of seemingly uninspired players who seem to lack direction. And of course, there are plenty of marginally talented players.
