I know its a dead horse, but paul molitor cannot possible survive this year with his job. even in bizarre twins world

Pitching gives up 31 runs this series and it's the managers fault?

[Aggies7]

I sported an ERA of over 11 and an opponent BA well over .400 my freshman year of college and I think I would be a good stopper in the twins pen.

 

I did get the ERA down in the 3's by my final two years. So theres hope!

[ashbury]

All up in our Grilli.

Giving up the lead in the 7th means one less inning to pitch. Saves wear and tear on the bullpen.

Not to mention 45 minutes of average game time.

Clown college?

In recent seasons I consoled myself with hopes for a top draft pick. After Buxton's performance this year even that consolation has been taken away. My sense is that the Twins are doing a poor job developing talented players.

What have you seen this year that indicates the team is well coached, whether it be fundamentals, defensive skills, or just overall preparedness to play the game of baseball?

 

but I know this isn't what the GDTs are for so I will leave it at that

[twinsnorth49]

This Donaldson fellow, someone should alert the Twins he's pretty good.

[Aggies7]

Clown college?

Looking back, close enough

[Vanimal46]

Fun with numbers:

 

If Donaldson just played against the Twins over a 162 game season, he'd have 188 HRs.

Well, there's some icing on the ol' cake....

[Aggies7]

Here come the hats! Luckily there are no heads in them.

I think that we need to consider his entire body of work.

[Aggies7]

The radio telecast says Paul is upset with the behavior interrupting the game.

 

Now he knows how we feel

The rest of us are upset with all these gosh darned home run trots interrupting the game.

I bink SAM Donaldson could homer against us at this point

HA!  Good one, and I'm like..80!

[USAFChief]

Hector Santiago, Andrew Albers, and Pat Dean lined up for Cleveland.

 

At least we're spending these last few weeks of a lost season preparing for the future.

[Aggies7]

 

The rest of us are upset with Paul Molitor for still being manager of this team.  Just when you think you have saw a level of suck that cannot be lower the Twins lower the bar on suck and stoop lower. The players may be bad on this team but that doesn't exonerate the manager or the coaches responsibility of trying to maintain some level of professionalism. 10 game losing streaks in baseball should not happen unless your team has flat out quit on the coaching staff.

And we've had (almost) two of those...

Didn't seem fair to Wimmers for Suzuki to just call fastball after fastball

Well, the future for the fanbase is certainly going to be full of terrible pitching and embarrassing performances, so I'd say your statement is quite accurate.

[Aggies7]

I hear the little league club from NY state has got some talented arms. I'll be keeping my eye on them and letting Mr Antony know if there's any potential for the final month of the season

[Vanimal46]

MAUER!!!

 

 

RBI Single.

[Aggies7]

21 runs in 3 games should be worth something.

 

eh? huh? huh?

Somehow Sano comes up as the tying run.

I'm certain Miguel will put together a patient AB
