    Gardy can say that, but a platoon of Kubel & Cuddyer in RF was so obvious it physically hurt, yet Gardy would not do it. USAFchief is right. This is not breakthrough thinking. This is a time tested strategy that many have used to make their team stronger. Twins do not do that.

    And he carried it off so deftly they probably STILL don't know they were suckered. Wow

    I don't know Glunn... I'm just tracking the game on Gameday and it's making me awfully tired.

    Parms!

    Diamond is going with that 'make them overconfident' strategy again, huh?

    I believe that managers can make a huge difference. They can drive their players crazy or keep them upbeat. They can allow them to get sloppy or demand excellence. They can demand excellence while being total jerks or they can make every player proud of what they are accomplishing. I think there is a lot of evidence to support that.

    I am really happy for Justin. Went to the Pirates site to watch that play. Justin got rid of that ball in a hurry. Very cool.

    I would be up for hiring Ray Searage, and here's why: He has done a great job as the pitching coach for the Pirates. Neither AJ Burnett nor Liriano could have been projected to do as well as they're doing since going to the Pirates and hanging out with Searage. For that matter, I don't know if Locke was projected to be as effective as he has been. I don't really know if Searage has ever managed. I'd just offer him any title he wanted. I feel pretty much the same about Mike Maddux, the Rangers pitching coach. (I wonder if Greg Maddux comes along with Mike and retains the title of Special Assistant?) Basically, I'd look for someone who seems to have some recent success developing pitchers.

    I know, it's just September. SSS blahblahblah But hasn't Pinto been fun?

    Herrmann swinging at bad pitches. Wish he's quit doing that.

    I've had these feelings for years. I feel fine with them. Sometimes they are my only companions.
  12. Oldgoat_MN
    Ah! I'm not alone.

    Am I the only one who noticed it's tied? Am I supposed to be keeping you all informed?
  14. Oldgoat_MN
    Amazingly, BA, OBP & SLG% are all down from last year.
  15. Oldgoat_MN
    All rare events have the capacity to be exciting.

    That is surely not the kind of history anyone was hoping for. Wow. I mean, Danchat is right - it's nice to see a lot of players with 10 or more HR. Still...
  17. Oldgoat_MN
    Wow! Two runs. Cool! Wait... I remember... something like this in the past. Was it a dream? Is this?

    I cooked two dinners, but I don't have a Harmon Killebrew autographed baseball so your dinner is probably better.

    Hey! She wasn't dating me! I'm not Loserdude. Well, at least not that Loserdude.

    Twins have struck out 12 times already. They are 0-9 with RISP. Not the highlight game I had hoped for.
  21. Oldgoat_MN
    Alas my friend, I'm so sorry I asked. *snicker*

    So Riverbrian - Was your wife impressed with the clarity of the photo?
  23. Oldgoat_MN
    Seems really odd that the Twins don't have any Latin American coaches. I understand that Cuellar speaks Spanish, but he is a native born USA citizen (from somewhere in TX) and he is 61 years old. I think some of these young kids need a younger guy who has some shared experience to talk to. But what do I know? I'm just an Old Goat.
  24. Oldgoat_MN
    Which is why the savvy Twins pitchers so carefully avoid them!
  25. Oldgoat_MN
    Hey gang! Twins have the bases loaded. That's something.
