    Well, after the lead off batter got on base via an error, he imploded with two outs and 5 runs and a grand slam later his ERA is 0 for the game. Looks pretty good for this game on paper, too.Boshers is another of Ryan's off season bullpen fixes, 28 yrs old that nobody wanted, and a Rochester place holder. I have higher expectations for success I guess, and patience is frayed. Maybe things will change now that Ryan is gone, and guys like this won't be called up instead of prospects that are part of the future.

    Can the Buddy Boshers era please end now, too?

    I agree, but someone has to be interim GM, since I didn't get the job.

    Interesting that an assistant GM in another organization is assigned to have experience and worthy of hiring, but an assistant GM from this organization has no experience. Hey, I sure hope that Rob Antony is truly an interim GM only, but he certainly has similar experience as other assistant GM's.

    YES!!! A great day in Twins History! Rejoice! Since it wasn't done year after year after year after year... after year after year... No time like the present! Change is happening! That is a good thing, whatever the last straw was .

    Someone needs to challenge the system in court, and create a class action suit.MLB would be shamed publicly into paying the minor league players a fair salary. Comparing inadequate pay to other inadequate pay lacks compassion and empathy.

    Oh., OK. But I was just kidding. I am in the camp that thinks the new award names are tacky and unnecessary and ostentatious. I take it back.
  8. h2oface
    Yup. Another case of roster mismanagement. I didn't get the need to DFA him.

    Hey! Maybe the Twins Daily Minor League Hitter/Pitcher of the Day should be changed to honor a minor league hitter and pitcher that never quite made it in the bigs, like: The Chris Parmelee Twins Daily Minor League Hitter of the Day and The Anthony Slama Twins Daily Minor League Pitcher of the Day How about it? Trendy, eh?

    Maybe it is that other guy.... Sazuki.

    But hey, fans do it right here on these boards all the time.... even to make the case that a player is suddenly an all-star!
  13. h2oface
    Palka!

    My opinion is not an argument, and you can't eliminate my opinion. If you are looking for arguments, that is down the hall, second door on the right.

    Jepsen's performance last year was a clear outlier and classic fools gold. Just as Hughes' performance was in 2014. Some, not nobody, are not so easily duped.

    Burdi & Meyer. Pitching in the Twins system can be like traveling in the Bermuda Triangle. One day they are pitching, and then they disappear and you never see them again.

    Definitely time to update. Buxton (280) and Kepler (150) have too many at bats to qualify any longer. That is, unless we want to make special rules/exceptions so Buxton can be a prospect forever. ;-)

    Thank you. It saves me time writing this, too

    And then there was this.... sigh..... Tampa Bay right-hander Chih-Wei Hu, picked up from Minnesota last July in a trade for Kevin Jepsen (since released by the Twins), was also impressive, throwing 94-97 mph with an out pitch in his palmball that comes in at 89-91 with splitter-like bottom. He comes from a three-quarters slot with a little deception, so while the fastball doesn't have a lot of plane I don't think it's as vulnerable as it might otherwise be.

    Damn. Another spotlight, and another tank. It would be nice if they didn't create a mess that needs cleaned up in the first place! When will our guys be the ones that step up and shine instead of tank? Mentally, they just don't seem to be ready or prepared.
  21. h2oface
    Exactly what I was thinking. What is the idea here? Let him get humiliated? That will show him? Can't let him build confidence? Break him down to build him up? Pretty primitive.
  22. h2oface
    If the all-star teams voters considered full seasons, they would/should consider the second half of the previous season and post season play. Pace? Take Dozier's year. Pace unfulfilled. Extremely. Pace should never be a consideration in my book. Pace is fantasy. I don't find this negative, Cody. Reality is not negative or positive.

    A .320 average with under 10 homers and doubles for a first sacker wouldn't get my vote. Especially compared to other first basemen. An all-star IS somewhat of a lifetime achievement award. Always has been. Or it should be. A couple hot months once in a career does not make an all-star in my book, even though with the silly fan voting where a person can vote a limitless amount of times it has made it that. Kershaw being left off last year until he became an injury replacement was a joke. Good for Nunez, who is more deserving than Cuddyer was in 2011, but obligatory picks have to be made. If Nunez keeps this up through next year, then he deserves it. I would put Cuddyer in 2011 on this list. He earned it in 2013 on the Rockies, though.

    One appearance. I believe a couple of those runs were let cross the plate as a gift from a following relief expert - the inherited runs scored experts. How many relievers have a bad outing? It is past due time for his return. He should have been given more appearances the first round.

    Please. No more prospects. This team wastes prospects.
