Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 8/18 @ 7:15pm CT

reading that makes me think that some of you think you aren't screwed having Teddy as your starter? :-)

He's not great by any means, but he's not awful either. With a good defense, we may not need tom Brady. Although I'd love to have him.

Remember when so many people were talking about how great Grossman was, and that we found a diamond in the rough, and that he was still young,  and wondering why it was unreasonable to believe he put the pieces together now that he was with us,and so on and so forth.

 

Good times.

San Francisco is feeling the same sinking feeling about Nunez, too. He's hitting .159 since a day before we traded him.

Drew Butera's OPS is .830. Whu happend?

Maybe the more concerning question is what Butera's .830 OPS indicates will happen...

I feel bad for all of your Vikings fans. Isn't watching the Twins punishment enough for the year? If you want some winter suffering, at least the Wild will get your hopes up for part of the season.

Speaking of Teddy...Rosario struggles with the deep throw too.

[Aggies7]

Whoa, Eddie Rosario may be a good backup qb. What was THAT

Mike zimmer doesn't care for you

Grossman's GPS seems a bit off tonight...

Grossman is like a white Delmon Young out there in left field. Minus all the racism and bat throwing.

I think we need to reconsider the matter of DanSan in LF.

[Danchat]

 

Heck, ponder would have been better. He can at least run. If teddy gets hurt, we're screwed.

Did you see Ponder's start when he backed up Bridgewater in 2014? He was horrendous. Shaun Hill was at least mediocre in his 2014 in his 8 starts with the Rams. They should have upgraded, but there weren't many options.

[Aggies7]

There's that DDDDDDDD

I think we need to reconsider the matter of DanSan in LF.

Mmmm.  Considered....and rejected.

[John Kelsey]

Can we be done with Pat Dean forever?

[howeda7]

They can DFA Grossman anytime now. Can Polanco play OF?

Oh yes I saw plenty of horrendous ponder. But Shaun hill is old as the hills. I remember when he went in for teddy against the Rams last year. Totally botched a play and lost like 12 yards when we had a lead and we'd trying to run out the clock

... if Don Adams were 2,800 feet tall.

[Aggies7]

No

[Platoon]

I know he's toxic on here, but he is a better OF than RB.

[wsnydes]

No

Eeeeyyyyyyyeaaawwwwww!!!!!

[USAFChief]

A good night for Mauer.  4 ABs, 5 outs.

[Bark's Lounge]

Football has no place on a baseball thread.

Oh ****, my bad.

Please! We have to have an OF who can catch a fly ball somewhere?

[Aggies7]

Real strong arm by hill there. Yuckaroo

[John Kelsey]

 

No

 

He's goin' to Rochester!!! He's goin' to Chattanooga!!!

[wsnydes]

I know he's toxic on here, but he is a better OF than RB.

I'm at the point where it just doesn't matter. Neither are legitimate options and neither should be here next season. Ride it out until the rosters expand.

I gave this a Like because it contained the words 'Vikings', 'Twins', and 'punishment', and although I was just too darn lazy to read the rest, that seemed like enough to go on.
