  1. He's been alright... He's been better. I'm hoping the next club added to his bag is better situational hitting.
  2. We need him bad and I have the same fears you do. If Buxton is going to hit .152 and Dozier is going to strike out slump... We need him bad. It gets Adrianaza out of every day work. It allows us to move Escobar down to the 6 spot and deepen the lineup. If Sano comes back swinging at low sliders in the dirt like he was before... I may cry.
  3. It was alright. Romero is fun to watch pitch. Cave hit his first home run in his first MLB game in front of the family. Wilson had a clutch double off the wall and we talked about Bears playing Cards.
  4. Adrianaza will probably get a good rest when Sano returns.
  5. Slow guys try to get an extra step and they are used to the pitcher not paying attention to them because they are no threat on the bases. The Brewers are playing baseball right now. They are so confident, they are like that guy who stands on your right shoulder and taps you on the left shoulder and then steals a french fry when you look left.
  6. All anyone has to do is check the Disabled List for every major league team. The Twins are not more hurt /suspended than the other teams. Every team will have to depend on the next man up throughout the season. I'm trying to give Falvey, Lavine, The Scouts, the Coaches and Paul Molitor the benefit of the doubt that the entire roster is contending quality. With Garver on the Bench because of defensive issues, Adrianaza playing every day now, LaMarre not trusted to play despite hitting the ball. Petit not trusted to play despite hitting the ball. The benefit of the doubt is getting harder to give.
  7. Hader has struck 50 Batters in 25 innings prior to tonight with 0.52 WHIP. Now he has struck out 56 in 27 innings. Hader has been killing every team. He is going to have an easier time killing us because our best hitters are left handed and our right handed hitters are either Hurt, Struggling really bad or not good enough defensively to play catcher regular. We need to get used to left handers late in games. Managers are going to throw them at us like Candy at a parade.
  8. He reminds me of Sale. He comes from behind the left handed hitter. Batters are going to lose a beat because it isn't coming from a normal angle.
  9. Probably... But before you can do it. You have to let go of any thoughts of specialization first and the game hasn't done that yet. I'm pretty sure Molitor hasn't for sure.
  10. The Game is changing. This isn't 1980's baseball anymore. Look at Counsell using Hader like he is Andrew Miller. Every team should be trading for or trying to create their own Andrew Miller.
  11. This site is filled with people and 100% Consensus is impossible. I could say that we shouldn't torture Puppies and someone will think it's OK if they pee on the rug.
  12. Cubs have bigger names but they are not as good as the Brewers.
  13. Yep Privacy and Depth are going to be THEE issues of the next decade.
  14. The Brewers are my pick for the NL Title. Here's the difference between Stearns and Falvine. The Brewers enter the off season with an OF to be jealous of. Braun, Santana, a Buxton clone in Braxton, Phillips plus Perez who can play OF. I believe Falvine would have said... "OK the outfield is set" Stearns goes out and gets Cain and Yelich.
  15. Yep... Your information is required to conduct business and that information is sold for profit. It's gonna get worse unless we stop getting distracted by things like the Royal Wedding.
  16. Very Fair 3 Hits 9 Strikeouts in last 26 AB's. I think Molitor should give him a rest to get his head in order tomorrow. Just like he did for Buxton.
  17. Ever since I did some research on Des Moines before my trip there. TwinsDaily has been feeding me targetted ads about Fleetwood Mac at the Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines. I was just thinking that if there is a Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines. There should be a Wells Des Moines Center in Fargo. On a more serious note. If anyone doesn't believe that Privacy is going to become THEE issue of the next decade... you may not be fully paying attention.
  18. That's guys gonna pull everything to LF.
  19. Absolutely. And when it flashes it's the cue to spin and throw.
