    I think history has shown that there are plenty of guys who implode in the ninth inning. Sabremetrics tend to refute the notion of "clutch performances", not the other way around.

    We're amending the forum rules. In game threads, you can only post about the following things: - Twins baseball - Batting helmets full of cottage cheese - North Korea - JJ Hardy's dreamy eyes - Eddie Gaedel
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Yes. I removed quite a bit of information from the user avatar area to reduce the amount of clutter in the forums.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Wow. This is an ugly baseball game.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Ell-Oh-Ell.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Nope.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't expect anything from Robertson and I'm fine with the Twins sending him down.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    That's a bit of a strawman, don't you think? Robertson has 26.0 IP of Major League experience and is 25 years old. Drew Butera has 531 PAs and is 29 years old. I'm not talking about wiping the slate clean, I'm talking about giving inexperienced guys a shot early in the season to see if you can rely on them as the year progresses. It was the fourth game of the season, on the road, in a tie game. Going with Robertson wasn't the greatest move in the world but it was hardly the worst, either.

    Billy Beane breaks down the season like this: 1st 1/3rd of season: figure out what you have 2nd 1/3rd of season: acquire what you need 3rd 1/3rd of season:: try to win it all While I think that oversimplifies things a bit, the idea has merit. You have to spend time figuring out your team and letting guys play in crucial situations early in the season so you know whether to rely on them or not later on in the season.

    With it being this early in the season and the questions over Escobar/Florimon and who is the better player, I don't mind seeing Carroll on the bench a little more often. At some point in the season, I'm sure he'll get plenty of playing time. It's hard to justify sitting Dozier right now in favor of Jamey. Brian's offense hasn't been great but his defense has made up for any deficiency with the bat.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Carroll started three days ago, I believe.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Hicks is out there but Parmelee gets the day off? Is Mastroianni really not capable of starting a game? Strange.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    In 40 degree weather? To start the season? Why would you do that to your best reliever? To maybe extend a tie game an extra inning, best case scenario that you'd still need to get three more outs the following inning? The potential reward in that situation was extremely low to risk your best guy being unavailable in later games. If Perkins had been sitting for three days, it'd be different. A manager can't run a bullpen like it's the World Series for a 162 game season. Be reasonable.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Florimon has done nothing to warrant a starting job over Escobar but it makes all the sense in the world to start Dozier over Carroll. The Twins needs to see what they have in Brian.

    Lineups: Twins: Aaron Hicks CF Joe Mauer C Josh Willingham LF Justin Morneau 1B Ryan Doumit DH Trevor Plouffe 3B Wilkin Ramirez RF Brian Dozier 2B Pedro Florimon SS (Pedro Hernandez P) Orioles: Nick Markakis RF Manny Machado 3B Chris Davis 1B Adam Jones CF Steve Pearce DH J.J. Hardy SS Nolan Reimold LF Taylor Teagarden C Alexi Casilla 2B (Jason Hammel P)

    I don't remember anyone bitching about those two guys. And if they did, I would have dismissed them out of hand as idiots.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Everything I've read and seen suggests he's a pretty good defender at first. If he can play an infield position well, he qualifies as "somewhat athletic" in my book. He's not fast but he's not Willingham slow, either. I think he'll do okay out in right.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Everything I've read about Parmelee suggests that he's a somewhat athletic guy. There was no reason to expect him to be a statue out there once he saw regular reps in RF (which he received off and on in the minors but never in 2012).
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Had Gardy done that, this would be Perkins season thus far: Day Off Pitched Warmed Up Pitched Pitched Is that how you want to start the season in cold weather for your best reliever?
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Amazing what a little time at one position can do for these guys. Chris isn't a statue in RF. He'll never be rangy but he's certainly serviceable.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    And tonight is a perfect reason why one shouldn't be enraged about Perkins sitting yesterday. One run lead and he's facing the meat of the lineup. It's not as if Perkins had been rotting on the bench for a week before last night. A manager has to manage his pen for a long season.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Justin Morneau: hitting it where they ain't since... April 1st, 2013?
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Mid May.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Joe Mauer is having a very bad night.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    He Bucknered that ball.
