Five Years of Twins Daily - BYTO Edition
DaveW replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I have the full archives, one of these days I will put them on a searchable online database so we can relive some classic threads. -
Is anyone else impressed with Molitor?
DaveW replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I give him credit for abandoning the Buxton in the 3 hole experiment rather quickly, ditto with not giving Santana a ton of playing time. -
I don't think the Tigers are that great of a team either. I view them as a 75-80 win type team.
-
The key is going to be how the "reinforcements" do: If Berrios, Park and a couple of the young bullpen arms can contribute? Then anything is possible in a bad, bad division. As long as the team is winning, the relative leash needs to be short. Park should be up like, right now. Meija needs to be sent down if he can't make it out of the 2nd inning again.
-
What about the 6th game?
-
Yeah, beat the teams you should, and go close to .500 against the rest. If they can go 12 games over .500 against the central, they only need to go .500 against everyone else to make the playoffs (easier said then done, no doubt, but that's the benefit in playing in a bad division)
-
Is what the Twins realistically need to go from here on out to have a good "shot" at the playoffs. Can they do it?

Kurt Suzuki and the Mysterious Sticky Chest Protector

Was it pine tar or just dirt? -
You guys should set one up. Im sure there are a large number of users who would contribute a few bucks a month.

4 wins in a row and points in 6 of last 7 to end the season. Not bad. Also most wins and pts in franchise history. Hopefully we can beat St Louis in 5 and gear up for Chi Town. I don't see any way Nashville beats the Hawks.
-
You are missing the bigger point. He needs to be moved from the 3 spot because he will start costing them games. He already leads the majors in LOB, eventually that catches up to a team.
-
Buxton has 11 k's in 15 AB Pretty large difference. Dude is completely lost at the plate right now. Having him hit third is gonna cost this team some wins eventually.
-
I tend to agree, but man, if he continues to have a >50% k rate for the next 10-15 games? I think you need to seriously think about sending him down. Hopefully he figures it out. Moving Him to 9th wouldn't hurt imo. He would at least have Dozier hitting behind him effectively.
-
He's not even close. You can't have him batting 3rd anymore. If he keeps this up for another week or two you prob have to send him down to AAA, it kills you defensively, but we got to make sure this kid learns how to hit. I don't want to over react, but 11ks in 15 AB? That is very very concerning.
-
I don't think the Twins can pull it off, but 200:1 is too good to pass up. I'd personally put them at about 80:1 since they were young, and anything can happen in sports.
-
Love the kid, but completely lost at the plate and eventually these strikeouts with RISP is gonna cost us games. Move him to the 9 hole and let him regain confidence. Also: Grossman shouldn't be playing everyday, call up Park to be the everyday DH. twins have come out of the gate strong, they need to make sure to put the best possible Lineup out every day IMO.
-
Berrios will find himself in the rotation eventually. No need to pull Hughes this early, he's coming off major injuries and showed some decent flashes today.
-
$150 on the Twins to win it all at 200:1 odds Best. Bet. Ever 162-0 here we come!
-
The US getting involved and taking a side in a middle eastern conflict/civil war. Boy, what could go wrong! Don't get me wrong, Assad is a monster, but Trump is 100% NOT the man to call these sort of shots. At least Bannon is out of the equation...for now.

But he is a "so called" christian and has "so called" Chrisitan values! Thus he is a "so called" class act!

Said it better than I ever could: this policy is deeply problematic. It reduces women to the role of temptress, blaming them for male transgressions from marital infidelity to sexual assault, while relying on the equally demeaning assumption that men are incapable of controlling their sexual impulses. It is also discriminatory in the context of the workplace, depriving female employees of critical opportunities for networking, mentoring, and face time. Discrimination under the guise of chivalry — sometimes called “benign protectionism” — is hardly new. Women have been “protected out” of jobs and educational opportunities … well, pretty much forever. Laws against sex discrimination have eradicated some of the most blatant examples, like policies prohibiting women from entering certain professions or excluding women and girls from educational institutions. But as Pence’s “No Girls Allowed” rule shows, these archaic views about gender persist.

Well, we bombed Syria. Likely killed a bunch of civilians as well.

It's actually completely different. But keep playing both sides of the fence and never offer a solution as usual Lev. 15 years of this "blame everyone" Never change

Again, the easier and more accurate description is simply and easily: sexism. It's sexism. Anyone that tries to hide behind their religion for their sexism (or other bigotry) are nothing more than cowards who make the rest of Christians look bad, oh! and they are sexist. -signed, a Catholic born in the Midwest.
