    There's the rub.
  2. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Nah, I'm just saying that he's older now, and resting him probably won't make him any worse. It's too bad about Pinto's concussion, his offense would be quite welcome right now.
  3. Kirby_waved_at_me
    and maybe I take Albert Pujols or Miguel Cabrera over Musial in a couple years. Not yet. Not today.
  4. Kirby_waved_at_me
    If I had to guess by Position: 1 - Walter Johnson RHP, Randy Johnson LHP 2 - Josh Gibson 3 - Stan Musial 4 - Eddie Collins or Joe Morgan 5 - Mike Schmidt or .... A-Rod... 6 - Honus Wagner 7 - Cobb or Aaron 8 - Mays or Mantle 9 - Ruth DH Bonds* Closer: Mariano Rivera

    Especially bad luck for Gordon, this is his last season before free agency. He should be eager to prove he's healthy when he gets back.
  6. Kirby_waved_at_me
    His numbers in the first half last year were really good, but he faded in the second half. I think he's better the more rest he gets. He's another year older and like you said, his workload last year was the highest since 2011 (and is on pace to be even higher this year). To be effective, he needs some more time on the bench.

    The thing about putting Plouffe at SS is that the offense can then have Sano, Plouffe, Dozier, Mauer. Hunter, and a DH like Arcia (or Vargas or Kepler or Pinto) all playing on the same day... I suppose that could also work out with Plouffe in a corner OF spot, but the fewer infielders in the outfield, the better. Santana's approach at the plate has been so bad in recent weeks that some alternative has to be coming from the Twins soon. One of the Eduardos or Polanco is an easy choice to replace Santana's starting spot.

    Cabrera being out means 4 or 5 fewer homers from the Tigers in this series. You always want to face the best competition, but it will be a relief to not have his bat coming around every few innings.
  9. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Now... That's interesting. Plouffe really improved his defense at third - could that translate to competence at short? Plouffe as the everyday SS and Sano at 3rd gave me goosebumps. I don't know if that transition is one that Plouffe can make, considering he's at 3B because he couldn't play SS before, but the work he's put in to become a good infielder is worth something.

    Agree, a rested Suzuki could be better than any combo of Herrmann/Fryer, and is almost certainly better than a tired Suzuki. The concussion issues for Pinto are limiting the Twins' options within the org. - I suppose it's possible a trade could be made for catching help.
  11. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Thanks for the excitement, Fien... just so ya know striking out the side is also exciting.
  12. Kirby_waved_at_me
    pinch hitting for the DH, eh Orioles?
  13. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Whew - they got Jones to pop out at least.
  14. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Seems like Santana forgot that this kind of performance at the plate is what got him sent down last time. Hopefully he can forget today too and get another chance to turn it around....
  15. Kirby_waved_at_me
    out of Frying pan and into the FRYER
  16. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Believe it or not, but Mike Moustakas is leading the "Final Vote" in the AL...
  17. Kirby_waved_at_me
    With Gameday not working, seems like a perfect time to #VOTEDOZIER
  18. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Can anyone out there in radioland confirm that Mauer's homer only scored a run for the Twins and none for the Orioles?
  19. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Mauer broke Gameday - it awarded the Orioles two runs in the first inning after Mauer's home run...
  20. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Mauer must've read that "worst AB" comment. That was his reply.
  21. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Clutch stolen base by Fryer, BTW, way to get into scoring position.
  22. Kirby_waved_at_me
    If Dozier's not an All-Star, I don't know what an All-Star is.
  23. Kirby_waved_at_me
    Milone deserves a little run support here - c'mon Twins!
  24. Kirby_waved_at_me
    I kind of feel like having a Denny Green style rant about this - Ubaldo Jimenez is who we thought he was! We're letting him off the hook!
  25. Kirby_waved_at_me
    At least 40, maybe 50.
