    Let's hope Sparky Mastroianni is starting tonight. The Twins could really use his grit in the lineup.
  2. gmarais66
    Apparently you missed Tonkin's performance last night. Not awesome.
  3. gmarais66
    Yeah, but they didn't get shutout...
  4. gmarais66
    Mauer should change his number to 43...
  5. gmarais66
    He really tagged that pitch...
  6. gmarais66
    Mastro! Mastro! Mastro!
  7. gmarais66
    And the Twins chase Verlander from the game... He couldn't even get through the eighth inning.
  8. gmarais66
    And the rally begins...
  9. gmarais66
    Clutch tightly to the small victories... At least they didn't get shutout.
  10. gmarais66
    I smell a double play!
  11. gmarais66
    Three bloops and a bomb, and a bloop and a bomb and the Twins are back in this game...
  12. gmarais66
    Dozier couldn't hit his way out of a wet paper bag...
  13. gmarais66
    Welcome to Detroit Taylor Rogers!! Maybe the Tiger bullpen can throw that HR ball back in for you to save, so you can remember this moment forever...

    It's more of a sloppy, going through the motions loss...
  15. gmarais66
    Someone should tell Rosario that pitches at eye-level are not in the strike zone.
  16. gmarais66
    This is what you call a "Rollover Game". The Twins are just going to rollover, take the loss and get out of town. What's one more loss, the season is over anyway.

    There are plenty of high school kids who would look way better in the OF than Sano...

    These comments are pretty much baseless. - More often than not, starters have caused themselves to be pulled from games, not Molitor pulling them too early. - How many times has putting a pinch runner in a game late cost the Twins a win? - Have you seen his options for pinch hitting late in a game? - If you can't get hits, bunting is a logical option. - There are no hot hands in the Twins' bullpen. - How many managers would quickly remove an all-star player from the top of the lineup? - Park is a rookie and it's logical to keep him lower in the batting order, until he has proven himself. Not to mention, Park hasn't exactly been lights out with RISP. - Outside of Polanco and Kepler, who were not called up to be starters, I'm not sure he's exactly been sitting young players. Unless you thought John Ryan Murphy should have been playing more...

    This thread just kills me. Everyone wants Molitor fired. Even after the encouraging year they had last year. If you think he is the main problem, step back, take a deep breath and look at the big picture. Where are the problems? Bullpen? Definitely. Outfield? For sure. Lack of a decent catcher? Obviously. Starting rotation? Yep. So, who created this mess. Not Molitor. It was Terry Ryan. Molitor can only work with what he is given and there is no manager in baseball that is going to turn this mess into a contender. For all those who are calling for Molitor's dismissal, what do you think a new manager is going to do differently to turn things around? Sano will still be in right field. Rosario and Arcia will still be the choices for left field (all those calling for Kepler to be called up haven't been monitoring what he's doing/not doing in Rochester). Santana or, god forbid, Mastroianni are your choices for CF until Buxton is ready. A new manager will still have the same flawed bullpen to work with. The new manager will still have to put Nolasco on the mound every five days. Thinking a manager change will fix this if pure fantasy.

    These are big moves... There are the moves that will put them right back into contention. From worst to first, here they come...
  21. gmarais66
    Ok... Mastro is batting .208 in Rochester. That translates to about .175 at the major league level... This is supposed to help the Twins how? Maybe Terry Ryan was still looking at Mastro's red hot spring training numbers, hoping he can re-kindle that Fort Myers magic.
  22. gmarais66
    The gravy is not good -- can't you see this is the root of the problem?
  23. gmarais66
    Many of the posts on here just crack me up. Everybody is blaming someone for Alex Meyer's issues, except Alex Meyer himself. It's Molitor's fault, it's Terry Ryan's fault, it's the way they've handled him... What a joke. The truth is that Alex Meyer cannot consistently hit the strike zone. He may be able to do it in spurts, but he can't do it consistently, meaning 5, 6, 7 innings or more. The problem? The kid can't consistently find his release point... Thus big ups when he can and big downs when he can't. And when he skids into one of those valleys, he's proven he's unable to get back on the road (thus his early exit from Tuesday's game). Meyer has been a professional for long enough where he should have figured it out, but he hasn't. Those who say that they aren't giving him a chance or they should have left him in longer on Tuesday, aren't acknowledging Meyer's serious deficiencies. He's lucky he even got a start, because after that horrific relief appearance last week, it was obvious he was nowhere near ready to start a big league game.

    Burdi has an ERA of 9.00 at Chattanooga...
  25. gmarais66
    Who would they swap Murphy for? They just gave away their only decent upper minor league catcher to the Tigers, because... Well, no one is really sure why they put him on waivers, but the fact remains that Hicks is gone, leaving a scrap heap of catchers that would not be much better than Murphy.
