    It's the warmer and controlled weather that is the problem. The heat. This team is melting. I'm getting a headache.

    Swept by Tampa Bay. So much for Reed being the guy. Damn.

    Ignoring/minimalizing/discounting the hits/hot streak, (I like it when Mauer singles, too - I like all hits), short or temporary as it might or might not be. Period. No reason to argue away the hits. You can if you like. Nobody said he was a great hitter. Just he was hot. If someone is 4-4 one day.... they had a hot bat. If a manager is smart enough to see it and use it while it is smoking, they win. More annoying than woke, mindful, transparency, authentic, narrative......or pronouncing the silent t in often and adding an extra syllable in real-a-tor or ath-a-lete? (shudders)

    Grossman batting cleanup? Is that an impeachable offense? Obstruction of sanity?
  5. h2oface
    Nobody, including LaMarre himself, is thinking this will last forever, or even that much longer, perhaps! But it is happening now, and the balls hit are falling in. To waste it is unevolved management. People won't be slumping forever, either (hope hope). If players get butthurt by sitting when they suck, they need to grow up and be part of a team.

    Now there is some alternative facts for you.

    If the Twins weren't wasting a 25 man spot on Kinley, there would be no need for Buxton to be shelved for 10 days. For all we know, the flair up is over by now. I get migranes, and ocular migranes. Never for 10 days at a time. 2 max. I feel this is mismanagement by the FO, still trying/hoping that all the loss to make room for Kinley might be justified.

    I must be blind then. I watched the same replays. I couldn't tell if he was up against the bag, or just next to it. Very close up next to it, for sure. It is obvious to me that he couldn't tell if he had touched it, felt it, or he wouldn't have tried to retouch it! He missed the bag. He should have clearly stepped on the edge, then there would have been no question. Duke beat the runner there, and needed to complete the play. It is similar to the replays of whether there is space between the tip of the toe and the three point line in basketball. Duke needs to step on the base, not try to nuzzle up next to it! For this game to come down to the failures of Lynn, Rodney, and Duke is all on them, and the manager that put them in, or left them in, the game at the time(s) he did, when he had better options.

    The decisions Molitor is making are definitely based on hope instead of savvy, and not on attention to who is reliable right now. That is on him, in my book.
  10. h2oface
    Totally agree. We have a closer that gives up hits to the tune of around a .350 BA against, and he keeps running the guy out there, with Reed shining! Rodney, Lynn, and Duke. Walks walks, walks. Hit batter scores, walks score. So much for a front office that are pitching experts. There is a reason the Cards were done with Duke and Lynn. And Grossman in the outfield again? Thanks MOY. What a waste of a great comeback. It was in the bag. And Archer.... not the Archer of last year. He has been horrible.
  11. h2oface
    LaMarre. Hot bat. Hmmmmm
  12. h2oface
    Gold gloves? And Duke needs all the help he can get. 6 BB in 4 innings. Mauer should have picked that, regardless.
  13. h2oface
    They got Miller, and we have Rodney. Damn.
  14. h2oface
    Baseball history tells us to ride the hot bat, yes.
  15. h2oface
    Fuzzy math. Never heard of a feels like 3 days max DL stint.
  16. h2oface
    Not the last 20. If one is living in the present, and not the recent past, like last year, LaMarre all the way.
  17. h2oface
    10 days for a migrane? Seems a bit excessive.
  18. h2oface
    I think it was the down up down scratch of the crotch, instead of the up down up.
  19. h2oface
    Pulling Berrios with only 84 pitches, but Morrison and Grossman can play forever without ever helping the team. That's how you get to be MOY.
  20. h2oface
    Morrison and Grossman. Black holes have nothing on them.
  21. h2oface
    Discovered. Not a soul knew it was there before. Except the people who had been there for........
  22. h2oface
    Grossman at his finest when he doesn't swing at all.
  23. h2oface
    Sad when the option at DH is someone that is currently just as horrible, eh? But Grossman said he only needed 10 ABs in spring training. The plan of having Grossman in the outfield is very flawed. It makes the team much weaker. The plan of giving him at bats at DH, not so good either. But this is a minor league recap thread......
  24. h2oface
    I guess that makes his arrival to the Show a bit of a non-event. He will arrive and fail? I will remember to take it off my calendar.
  25. h2oface
    The quick hook didn't make sense...... without the rest of the story. Blisters are a pain. I got one from driving an old truck without power steering, in no time it seemed. I am such a wimp. Even calluses can get a blister under it, and the whole thing falls off. Guitar players know, too. Some people get a little headache , and sit out an entire game or two.....
