    It's the same thing in the Wild. Bird hunts for the right sticks to build a nest... One at a time... Flying long distance building this nest... One stick at a time. Leaves for another stick... Comes back to discover that other birds came and took all the sticks. Or Squirrel... Gathers Nuts and seeds... All Summer for preparation of the upcoming Winter... One Nut... One Seed at a time... The Squirrel builds his stash in a tree. Owl comes by and Eats the Squirrel.

    For the past two weeks... There has been a box of Milk Duds on the kitchen counter. I'm not sure who placed them there... but I've decided they won't be there tomorrow.

    Not sure on the Crab Rangoon but the Pumpkin Brie En Croute is to die for at the ball park in Johnson City Tennessee.

    When is it time to take action? In regards to OF defense... The time is right now. You wont know when its time to address the bullpen or starting pitching if balls keep dropping in the OF that nearly every other team catches. Pitching stats will be skewed to the negative. The OF defense can only get marginally better as is. I don't think it can be better enough. OF D needs immediate attention.

    If Buxton is tearing it up... By All Means... If Hicks has found the light bulb... By All Means... Same for Rosario. But I'm not a fan of calling up players to burn service time while learning on the job or out of desperation. If what I've seen so far... Is actually what it is in the OF. I think the Twins have to make an immediate trade for an elite defensive OF with Range/Speed. I don't care about the bat... Get someone who can run down the baseball.... Bring Revere Back... Bourjos in St. Louis... Anybody with elite defensive skill. Call Seattle and make a deal for Franklin "Death to Flying Things" Gutierrez... He's just sitting there with no hope in Tacoma. After the trade... Hunter will need to be an expensive 4th OF. Then we are going to need Mauer and Plouffe, Arcia and Vargas to step it up and replace what we lose offensively. Move Schafer to LF and Arcia to RF/DH. If Plouffe... Arcia and Vargas don't step it up... It will force the Need for Sano... regardless if he's still striking out at 98% clip. If the Twins can't swing a deal... And the OF Range remains this bad. The Twins will also have no choice but to call up the kids... regardless if they are ready or not. OK... I've slapped myself again... It's just 7 games... Relax... Nope... It still isn't working.

    I'll also add... I'm not worried about Hunter's Throw at all. That's an Oops... It happens from time to time. The mistakes they are all making can be fixed... There will be a time when it starts coming together as much as it can and the Twins may even roll a decent winning streak or two this year. I'm just sitting here worried that the OF Range can't improve enough and the result of that will filter down to the pitching staff and inflate ERA's so everyone is will complain about the lack of pitching as well and I'll be sitting here thinking... Is it the Pitching staff or the lack of help they are getting.

    It's real hard to say with 100% confidence. You could be right... But... I gotta say... I think an average RF gets to that ball. I don't believe that ball lands in the KC Outfield. At the least... His Angle was wrong... At the worst... His range is strikingly below par. For me... It has taken 7 games (I've watched maybe 4 of those) for me to completely 180 on Hunter. I've gone from: These Defensive Metrics are half cooked... There is no way Torii is as bad as they say. TO: Holy Cow... Hunter really doesn't have much range at all out there... Using the eye test. I'm really trying to keep my feelings in check. I understand that everything is magnified in the first couple weeks of the season. Mistakes like these in July are typically Oh Welled away by the fan base because less are paying attention. I'm slapping myself in the face right now and saying... "Brian... Snap out of it... It's only 7 games". It ain't working. To Follow up 3 dropped cans of corn on Sunday to what we saw yesterday in the home opener is going to shake most anyone up.
