    Perez reminds me of 'Rube' .

    This chicken **** offense, is going to let an even worse offense, win this game for the Native Americans from Ohio.

    Look familiar? We've been rehearsing this all April.

    I sent Jeffers a walking cane. I wanted to help him find home plate for his feeble at bats.

    Buxton out again. What is it this time, leprosy?
  6. RickOShea
    I can't help from not being negative. Does anyone else feel like the Twins are done scoring, and Cleveland comes back and wins this game? Twins just can't seem to stand on the other team's neck.

    I have no doubt the Twins will turn things around. The only issue will be, how deep is the hole they're going to have to dig themselves out of. With tons of Central Division games left, they have the opportunity. Let's see, if they can take advantage of it.

    I pretty much have seen most pitches thrown by Twins pitchers, this season. (being retired, and nothing to do, gives me that luxury, or abuse, upon your point of view. Most of the Twins pitchers follow the same strategy. If they get an 0-2, or 1-2 count, they won't throw much anything resembling a strike. Problem is, if you don't at least get close to the plate, the hitter just waits, until the count is even or in his favor. Now it's a matter of protecting the plate, by fouling off pitches, til the hitter gets his pitch to hit. It's a definite pattern, time and time again. And since most of the pitchers don't have an 'out' pitch (Berrios is an exception) it becomes a series of foul balls. And all this does, is allow the hitter to wait for his pitch or induce a walk. Meanwhile, Twins pitchers' pitch counts increases and by the 3rd or 4th inning, he's spent. We need to review this pattern and bring on a couple of hard throwers to get the big out, when needed. Or at least attempt it.

    In his pregame, Rocco said there's no consistency in the lineup. How about a consistent lineup? Rocco used to give a good interview. Now, he's double talking, contradicting himself, and generally spreading a fair amount of bs.

    Every one of the Twins and its coaching staff need to take a deep breath. It's the first day of the week, we're wrapping up a mini home stand, and then off to Cleveland for a mini road trip. Let's just relax and play ball. Rocco needs to manage a little more efficiently, using a little more consistent line up and really re-thinking his bullpen management. Good luck guys!

    Way to battle Twins. As Baldelli would say, " A lot of good mixed with just enough bad. We came out without any major injuries, and most guys stayed well rested. We'll line em up and try again, tomorrow".

    Quick, Code Blue for Smalley! Get a crash cart. Jesus, he's dying on air.
  13. RickOShea
    Think we could have used Donaldson in that last inning in Oakland?
  14. RickOShea
    Hotel bar must be closing early.

    I know its Cruz, but how do you not swing at a breaking ball that is center cut, then breaks outside. You got to at least have to swing, since its in the strike zone, to begin with. SMH.
  16. RickOShea
    Twins hitters should study film of the A's hitters and how they keep their at bats alive, without striking out on 4 pitches. It's really frustrating to see these hitters missing by such wide margins. They should have seen a few breaking balls in the minors.
  17. RickOShea
    Shouldn't Smalley be pushing laxatives on tv commercials?
  18. RickOShea
    Just when Cahill thought his career was in its twilight, he pitches against the Twins, and visions of Cy Young Award acceptance speeches dance in his head.
  19. RickOShea
    After last nights game, I'm hoping for a fresh start. If this team is ever 100% healthy, they can definitely do well. Hopefully, 2 starters will emerge or perhaps a late season pickup to make the Twins a threat in the playoffs. But, that's still a long ways off.
  20. RickOShea
    Thanks for everyone coming out tonite. God bless, and don't forget to tip your waiter.
  21. RickOShea
    Why do Twins pitchers after getting a hitter 0-2, all of a sudden become wussies?
  22. RickOShea
    Rogers is good for at least one extra base hit. But I feel he'll get the save. Meanwhile, Duffy sneaks in Rocco's office and takes a dump.
  23. RickOShea
    No way, Duffy closes this game out!
  24. RickOShea
    Yes, Rocco's rest and recuperate plan is kind of like stacking BB's.
  25. RickOShea
    Now Duffy's in heaven. He gets to nibble after 2 strikes.
