  1. The loser talking about his drunken, late night bar triumphs is telling guys to grow up, funny. Talk about junior high crap.
  2. Just acknowledge he's pitching well lately as has previously in his career. Seems to me that's all anyone is saying. The Mauer comparison is that a lot of people said the same things about him after 2011 as well, I notice he's playing a bit better lately too. We should probably still focus on 2011 though, that's clearly the player he really is.
  3. Amen, Baker is going to have to make some concessions on that option, every other team is going to be just as leery about him as the Twins and be hesitant to make a big commitment. I think an incentive laden contract with a larger base on a second year option is worth it for both sides. I'd like to see him back next year.
  4. Do his wrists suddenly hurt against lefties? They seem to work fine against righties. What a strange injury.
  5. Yeah, I don't get the never will hit lefties again sentiment either, especially considering the time off he has had and the fact he was all-league just before that. His timing is off, his pitch selection is off which is exacerbated by him rarely getting into good hitting counts, he's always behind and starts chasing high fastballs and sliders. To think he can't sort it out is confusing, his success against RHP is proof he can still catch up with any pitch and work a count, I'd bet on him doing it than not.
  6. No we talk slower, it's for your benefit.
  7. I swear to god the Twins lead the league in Doinks given up!
  8. So was that, in fact it all has been, methinks too many guys take themselves a little too seriously around here.
  9. Oh I get it now, it's an American thing. That explains the smugness.
  10. How, it's not like anyone hasn't heard any of this a thousand times before, it's nothing new.
  11. Oh brother, enough with the pretentious elitism fellas. General public, good lord.
  12. Bert sharing child abuse stories, charming
  13. Nice control and mix by Hendriks that inning.
  14. I think everyone grasps the depths of badness Morneau is at vs lefties, it's pretty plain to see. I just don't agree with you that it's going to stay that way and when it turns around it's better for the team on multiple levels.
  15. Wow, the entire Chicken Little crew is out tonight, I'm keeping my glass topped up just for, say, fun.
  16. Well, you're right about that and I don't care, would definitely take Parm every time.
  17. Overstated, lots of top athletes have come back just fine from concussions and played well. I didn't say he was in his prime but right now he is taking the field almost everyday, playing it just fine, hitting and slugging very well against righties and waiting to get his s**t together against lefties. My money is on him doing it based on his track record, which is one hell of a lot better track record than Danny Valencia.
  18. What he said, plus why waste Valencia now hitting against lefties when there still might be hope he becomes a more complete player down in Rochester. I agree with the Parmelee sentiment though.
