    Rosario hasn't figured this guy out yet.
  2. Riverbrian
    Let's see Garver DO THAT!!!
  3. Riverbrian
    I was OK with it. He was going to get a fat one. Missing it... I'm not OK with.
  4. Riverbrian
    Followed by two foul tips of pitches that would have been ball 4 and then a swing and miss for the third strike. That was disappointing.
  5. Riverbrian
    Green Light for Adrianaza?
  6. Riverbrian
    I'm all for it... Out of the Box thinking.
  7. Riverbrian
    I love MLB Debuts

    C'mon Cave Show Buxton how to do it.
  9. Riverbrian
    Those guys who leap off the mound like this Peralta guy and Carter Capps for example. They have a closer to the plate release point and that makes the fastball seem faster than it is.
  10. Riverbrian
    We are in the top of the 2nd.
  11. Riverbrian
    THE U.S. LOST TO SWEDEN!!!
  12. Riverbrian
    That one has me stumped as well. Bears don't have Thumbs. They can't hold Cards.
  13. Riverbrian
    Escobar has the power to convert balls to strikes.
  14. Riverbrian
    They are generally messy.
  15. Riverbrian
    He pulled off on that. Can't pull an outside pitch unless you are 6-6.

    Garver out hits him so it has to be a defensive decision and maybe with Romero being a little more unpredictable he went with Wilson. My personal opinion... I think we gotta say the hell with it and put Garver in the lineup for the bat. We don't have the luxury of playing defense first. Buxton... I'd also sit him for a game. Same reasoning that I would go with Garver instead of Wilson... We need more people who can put the ball in play. Buxton is 2 for 23 with 9 K's. You don't have to bench him forever but he could use a day off especially against a pitcher who leaps off the mound at you and just struck out 12 batters in 5 innings in his debut. As for Cave... He got the call... He's making his MLB Debut... I'd love to be setting in the audience with his family listening to how excited they are.

    So everybody is already upset before the game starts?
  18. Riverbrian
    KEPLER
  19. Riverbrian
    Alright let's do this again. First one to find him wins. http://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_main_image/public/toysandgameie.jpg?itok=mIsu2McG

    OK... the bottom third of the lineup is marginal. And the Top 6 players in your lineup that is capable of production can be marginalized. I'm still saying that Sano and Buxton playing to Sano and Buxton capability and a RH hitting OF'er will take care of both problems.
  21. Riverbrian
    You and I have both agreed that a RH OF would have been perfect for this collection of players. Look at this way. Escobar is batting cleanup because he is the only reasonable option to hit in that spot with Sano. Look at Molitors Lineup Left - Mauer/Morrison Right - Dozier Left - Rosario Switch - Escobar Left - Kepler Switch - Grossman Right - Buxton Switch - Adrianaza Right - Wilson Molly has consistently balanced his lineup cards like this to try and avoid letting the opposing manager come in with a left hander to face Mauer, Rosario and Kepler in a row. Without Sano in the lineup and without Buxton Performig and with Wilson playing over Garver because of defensive concerns... This Attempt to balance the lineup is futile. Pick any 3 players in this lineup and tell me where it doesn't make sense to bring Hader, Jennings or Boone Logan to finish the Twins off when the Brewers have the lead. Outside of Dozier... The only threats are lefties or Switch hitters. Just bring in a lefty. The Twins can't counter it.
  22. Riverbrian
    OK... Buxton has been worse but both are lost and yet key cogs to the lineup construction.
  23. Riverbrian
    There ya go... That's what we needed. Now watch them produce a run next time up.
  24. Riverbrian
    In 2018... Sano and Buxton are the exact same player in my eyes. Both are swinging at Garbage, Both are getting hurt and Both are critical to providing any kind of Right Handed Balance to a majority left handed lineup. If Sano and Buxton don't help this team, our need for a Right Handed Bat is comparable to the way a Grizzly needs Salmon.
