Why the Twins Must Find a New Approach with Joe Ryan

[Linus]

Most certainly the Twins have excellent strength and conditioning coaches who can create excellent programs for all their players. Nobody is sitting in the clubhouse wondering how they should be working out.

The Orioles had four starters mid to late '60s and they all won 20 games. wow! that would never work today because somehow pitching is faster but you have to have more time off. well you know that makes sense, doesn't it. Palmer Dobson mcnally and cuellar each one won 20 games. they can't be injured and win 20 games but these days we're doing six-man rotations seems to be coming into play and they're getting paid 10 times as much if not more. how does a guy make $20 million a year and only pitch in 15% of the innings the team plays for season? so we're going to somehow have a new bargaining agreement and there may be someone who's doing that for the team and complaining about his income not being higher. you know that's possible, especially if your name is Bryce Harper but he doesn't pitch. Joe Ryan is an entirely wonderful young man the way I see it as far as I can tell, not knowing him personally but yes I see him as a every 6 days guy from the start of the season to maybe have a better second half but will he be on the mound enough to even win 13 games. okay everybody what am I doing wrong with this message?

thank you

maybe I'm just stupid but I'm not following what your issue is here. Google at least on my phone will not start a sentence with a capital letter. it will put periods in the middle of sentences or question marks where they don't belong where a? does belong. it doesn't put one. it's enormously irritating so if I'm writing something more professional I have to review everything. but this is not that so I don't proofread it. I simply just let it go like right now. I was just trying to make a comparison between then and now and how four guys can throw enough pictures to win 20 games. and if I recall correctly there were no injuries and you don't have time for injuries to win 20 games. so maybe it's better just to stay on the topic at hand rather than being so critical of somebody's pronunciation spelling. I'm one of the best spellers I know. few people can spell as well as I do large words give them to me. I spell them correctly most of the time.. I'm known to have fairly high intellect. not the best but better than most but here on doing this. I don't care about any of that

Take the time to read before sending.  For example, if you had read this before sending, you may not have said "so maybe it's better just to stay on the topic at hand rather than being so critical of somebody's pronunciation spelling. I'm one of the best spellers I know. few people can spell as well as I do large words give them to me.

Terry I don't even know how to approach this. this is about discussing baseball. it is not about how somebody writes a message. I see mistakes all the time and I don't care to point it out to them. this is not a high school test on how you write. I'll take this one. step farther. I had employment direct sales where I sold books to k through 12. I dealt with superintendents principals, librarians teachers, people who know how to enunciate. I don't have a college degree. I have attention deficit disorder which made my grades rather poor but I am told by the schools they had no idea. I was not educated like they are because I could talk as good or better than they can. I don't need lessons like this when you're 74 years old. lessons I like to have at this age is learning more about the will of God because you never know it all. teaching me more about Bible stories that I may not have understood along the way of life as good as I could have and I could have said the word well instead of the word good. living in the country bumpkin areas of the state of Virginia people don't say well. they say good. try to have a nice day and don't pick on people how they right. just respond to what they write about if you feel like it and I'm not proofreading this, I don't have the time and another reason I'm not proofreading. it is because it simply just plain doesn't matter.

What I was pointing out was that what you were writing is unintelligible.  What is the good of taking the time to write your opinion if no one can figure out what you mean.  This isn't a comment on your intelligence.  I gave the same advice to the CEO of Honeywell when I had to edit his written opinions for publication.
