  1. The worst thing that Molitor does is that he does not think like I do. It really drives me up a wall.
  2. OK... He let Rogers stay in face the RH Engel. I officially retire from the Molitor prognostication business.
  3. I have reached the point where I've gotten Molitor down to the nuance. He can't surprise me. I feel like Rich Little
  4. In all seriousness... It wasn't hard to predict what Molly was going to do. We entered the inning with Abreu leading off and Odorizzi coming up on 100 pitches. 1. Sanchez (S) 2. Anderson ® 3. Abreu ® 4. Delmonico (L) 5. Davidson ® 6. Palka (L) 7. Thompson ® 8. Narvaez (L) 9. Engel ® Odorizzi was going to face the first three batters come hell or high water. R-L-R Rogers was warming up in the pen... He was getting Palka through Narvaez. L-R-L Hildenberger or a different righthander will come in and face Engel and remain in the game until Palka again R-S-R-R-L-R
  5. That's a tough question. I'm normally pretty happy so I have trouble finding a comparison point for levels of sadness. If I were to guess... I'd say it is somewhere between: A Puppy being run over by a semi and I dropped my pez dispenser in the toilet.
  6. Davidson will be his last batter. Rogers will be brought in to face Palka
  7. Careful what you wish for. You just might get it.
  8. And Morrison is also justified by his defense from the DH position.
  9. Strike em out -- throw em out. Just what the Doctor Ordered.
  10. It probably won't get the same kind of press that Columbus got for his discovery.
  11. Molly will tell you that you have 3 lefties in a row with Castro, Mauer and Kepler. That will beg for lefty reliever in a key moment late in the game.
  12. It is. That can't be denied. You can smell the Bears Fans from your lobby.
  13. http://cdn1.thecomeback.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/eddie_eagle.jpg
  14. You never know... Give a guy like Gordon a chance and he might run with it. Might end up going all Aaron Hicks on you as well... but you never know until they get that chance. It's all about taking advantage of an opportunity when it arrives... Walking through the door when it opens.
  15. "And if you go down there You better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown".
  16. This game is all about opportunity and timing for guys like Adrianaza and Petit. When Sano went down it was an opportunity for Adrianaza to prove something to someone. He went 3 for 16. So Molitor gave Petit a try and he has gone 4 for 8. More hits in half the attempts. I think Molly should keep giving Petit some AB's until we trade for Carlos Correa.
  17. Small Sample Size isn't going to matter to me. I don't care who is better in June. I want the guy who is better right now to play. It just might be Petit for the moment.
  18. Funniest thing that I've personally heard a PBP guy say was "He's not the smartest knife in the drawer".
  19. Ouch That one stung a little. I'm going to retire my nickname then.
  20. If the Twins front office thinks he/they can fix it. They won't release him and run the risk of paying the 26 million to pitch decently for another team. You don't want to be in the owners office after Hughes (while pitching for the Royals) pitches well against the Twins and you are still the one paying him all that money. The Twins front office is going to need to be absolutely sure before they cut bait. Even if the owner signs off on cutting Hughes. The owner will still be relying on the input, expertise of the POBO and GM before he signs off. So if it happens... the POBO and GM will doing a lot of hemming and hawing to some very pointed questions.
