Who do you want to see replace Baker?
Riverbrian replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I just want to say that this is my 100th post. I have nothing important to add to this discussion and that is also true of the other 99 posts that I made. Once... Again... This is my 100th post. Congrats are in order. I'm sorry about the interuption... Please return safely to your interesting discussion on Minnesota April Temperatures. P.S. Does anyone know how many posts I have to make to reach the AA level? -
tsk tsk... or is it spelled tisk tisk... Revere the Spark plug... 30 percent ignition rate and that's could enough for me. lol
-
Damn Autocorrect... I meant to say... We have 3 more innings to catch up. Let's go Twins!
-
Early season team test. GOOD TEAMS MAKE TEAMS PAY FOR MISTAKES.
-
He didn't need a hit. He needed to plate a run at the very least. It's 6 to 5 right now if he does and Mauer has 5 RBI's. I also contend that scoring in the 1st Heartens Liriano and maybe the 2nd inning goes better. Maybe. But I do know that even Mickey Mantle bit the dust on occasion.
-
That would be on Liriano. Professionalism he lacks at times.
-
A couple of reasons. Revere is more likely to reach base and we need baserinners to catch up And Revere will probably bat In the ninth and we might need the big fly then.
-
The autocorrect got you didn't it?
-
Oh Oh... I want to be clear... That the seems like part was not mine. The 20 million part and head case part is mine. Just to be safe I'm going to fan graphs right now to check the numbers on Lirianos head case per inning ranking.
-
Thats Sciosia Baseball. He will run... Always has. Remember that really large Molina who played for the Giants... Can't remember his name. Scioscia would send him.
-
Damn autocorrect. Tried to type fist one into left and it came out go deep here.
-
I meant fist one into left
-
Parmelee will go deep here
-
3 pitches outside and 1 inside. None were strikes but Joe got down 0-2 before popping up.
-
Actually Chief... Let me amend this comment slightly. I've seen the ERT tables and believe what they say. I'm not saying sacrifice. Just hit behind the runner. Joe just when deep... I feel so silly complaining about him. I'm so ashamed!
-
In his defense... He wasnt thrown a single strike. Tough umping in that sequence... But yeah. Show some leadership. Hand the bat to the umpire and say "do you want to try reaching across and hitting that". Then I'd take off my jersey and set it on fire at home plate ala Jimi Hendrix.
-
And Haren on the mound
-
I disagree... Moving the runner from 1st to 2nd can be a waste but if a runner is on second with no out. A productive out makes a ton of sense. If you walk into a game just expecting to base hit your way to victory... That is too much of an all or nothing way of approaching the game. You don't have to bunt but hit behind the runner. It doesnt even mean make out. Just hit the ball behind the rinner. With a runner on third and one out, the runner can score on a flyball, grounder or Home run. It increases your odds.
-
A wasted at bat by Span. You can't get 5 RBI's in one swing to tie the game. Move those Runners over its the third inning. If Mauer and Span are going to perform like this. Let's get ready for tomorrow. Alright bases loaded. Mauer this is what you get paid for!!!
-
Striking out with a runner on third and one out happens but if you make over 20 million it really can't. Score that run and the game could be different. Disclaimer... I like Mauer... I really do but he's in the three hole for exactly that moment. A run scored in that at bat and it makes a difference with a head case on the mound. Disclaimer... I like Liriano... But buck up and compete. Pickup your teammates when they fail. That pitcher on the other side named Dan Haren is real.

Terry Ryan/Scott Baker 4:00 Press Conference
Riverbrian replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Thanks... I will carry on... I'm posting alot because I'm trying to reach the AAA level. Actually... I love this site... I'm such a Baseball Nut and Twins fan. My friends around here can't keep up with me and I really have no one to REALLY talk about the Twins and baseball. People like us can kind of be isolated in that sense. -
Like the Speed at the bottom... Now if they would only run... Well actually get on base first... if they do that... Then put some pressure Mr. Haren and Wilson. I'm also making the call for a Parmelee Home Run today off Haren. Parmelee loves the low ball... Haren will deliver it.

How would Joe Benson look in CF this year?
Riverbrian replied to nokomismod's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I like Span defensively... usually. However, last night. 2nd base was gained on him twice. Not saying that 2nd base would have not been gained but he had a shot each time and didn't come through. On the Willingham play... I can't fault Span for that. As for Benson... Who knows... Isn't room right now... It's too early to tear apart the team... If the dismantle bell rings... Here he comes and I'll be pulling for him. Injuries... He will be up soon enough. -
Man, you are tough on Revere! Did you have some sort of childhood trauma with midgets or something? If so... A real fast midget like Revere would be extremely scary and you will have my empathy.
-
I have a hard time seeing Gardy making out a lineup with Mauer at DH. Not with his over concern about running out of catchers during the course of a game. I'd do it on occasion and wouldn't think twice but I'm not allowed to make out the lineup. Oddly, I'm not allowed in the dugout either.
