    Maybe pin it and if people want to argue about it, they could go to that thread.

    Back to Buxton. Does anyone know if he had appreciable platoon splits in the minors? I suspect that he didn't, but slider off the outside corner seemed to trouble him a bit so far.
  3. stringer bell
    50 RBI? Wow! Move him to #3 and it'll add 100!
  4. stringer bell
    So you wholeheartedly agree with Rizzo hitting #2 for the Cubs? I thought that was crazy when they had a light-hitting outfielder hitting fourth.
  5. stringer bell
    Unless you're Aaron Hicks. Gratuitous cheap shot.
  6. stringer bell
    A year from now, I would be disappointed if Buck isn't the leadoff hitter. In three years, I'll be disappointed if Buxton isn't hitting third.

    I really like Dozier as the leadoff guy. He works counts more often than not, draws the most walks and has the ability to put the club ahead 1-0 pretty often. He hasn't done that well in RBI situations, so I'd rather see him continuing to set the table.

    It would be good if they had someone anyone in the bullpen who was left handed and could pitch in the seventh or eighth inning (not Perkins). To me, the bully is about half done--Graham (mopup), Boyer, Pressly, Fien and Perkins. A solid lefty to go with the rh setup men would help immensely.

    I think hitting against John Danks and the Chicago bullpen had more to do with his success than where he hit in the lineup. Let's see how he fares against Smarjia (sp) and Sale.
  10. stringer bell
    Good points RB. I am still of the opinion that to improve their LH bullpen problems they will need to go outside the organization.
  11. stringer bell
    I can be glad that I saw Buxton's first Target Field hit and saw him steal the first of what will be many stolen bases. Yep, the hit tool isn't fully developed and he will make mistakes. He will run down a lot of balls and I am sure he'll be a force on the bases. Buck needs to get on base and to do that he needs to make contact.

    How about getting down to 12 pitchers? I really think Thompson should go and Tonkin just isn't cutting it. Send them both down and maybe recall Thielbar, who seems to have righted the ship in AAA. I would accept Arcia, Santana or just about anyone else as the 13th position player.
  13. stringer bell
    While I think Arrieta was sharp today, just about anybody could shut the Twins down right now. Much of what went right offensively in May is going wrong in June. The starting staff has been very good, but there are a lot of suspect arms in the bullpen. There were an awful lot of Cubs fans in the crowd today. They had everything to cheer about compared to Twins fans. Very good crowd again today.
  14. stringer bell
    I know Eddie is nothing like Dozier as a hitter, but his pitch recognition improved resulting in more walks. I think Rosario's pitch recognition will improve resulting in less chasing.
  15. stringer bell
    Above the half Mendoza line!
  16. stringer bell
    I'm trying to figure out Will Farrell & Kristen Wiig's Lifetime movie.
  17. stringer bell
    Probably Tonkin can ride with him.
  18. stringer bell
    Bullpen--oy.
  19. stringer bell
    Thompson isn't fooling many any more.
  20. stringer bell
    Three weeks of depending on the pitching staff. Time for the lineup to come alive. When it happens it will be "as expected".
  21. stringer bell
    Nice job Pressly! Rally time!
  22. stringer bell
    Let's see if they can get Rizzo out. Yes, yes they can.
  23. stringer bell
    Strike three looked high and tight.
  24. stringer bell
    The wind seems to have picked up and blowing straight out to center, but it probably didn't make any difference. BTW, when was the last time the Twins hit a homer with a runner on?
  25. stringer bell
    Can't get Rizzo out.
