    Just onboard today.... Am I reading this right.... 7Ks .... GARCIA HAS STRUCK OUT 7 OUT OF 10 BATTERS?

    Formed in the box, living in the box, and defending the box. I get it. No, I am not saying it would be the "expected norm" to behave differently. I am saying expected norms can be classless and cowardly. We always have a choice, regardless of the norms. Outside the box can be more classy, in so many ways.

    Every pitcher should wear Gibson's jersey and number from now on. It seems that makes the batters score runs. We dropped a game to the Yankees during this series. But we can still sweep in NY and be within 1 game of home field for the wild card game. Plus, we are up 2-1 on the season series for a tie-breaker. Then on to sweeping Cleveland, who are due for some losses. Positive waves, man.

    However classless it was, or what one feels about the process, I think it is a short sighted, and stupid move, because Doug is and was a winner. He made players better, and instilled spirit. Period. And they tired to spin it like they were doing him a favor. Do I hope they are just a carefree with replacing Molitor? No I don't. I hope they do it respectfully and kindly, and in person.

    Interviewed after two days of cleaning up after a hurricane, nerves a bit fried, pissed after the way it came down....... so what. He might say something different if asked today. And people want to dissect every would he says. Like he planned it out like he was making a Twins Daily comment? It shows a connection to his players to me. I like it. And that is direct and aggressive.

    That's just how things work? Such BS. Things work the way people chose them to work, regardless of precedent.

    Now 7-8 in September, with the easiest schedule of the wild card hopefuls coming into the month, and playoff teams coming up. NY and Cleveland. Time to become.
  8. h2oface
    At least we didn't have to see Perkins.
  9. h2oface
    RALLY TIME !!!!!!!!!

    The only sure way to assure that you become the wild card, is to win games. Scoreboard watching sucks. Win your own games, especially if you are 3 games up, and you could care less what anyone else does.

    I don't understand why Buxton plays so shallow. I understand that he can get back to the wall, but, it would seem that the inverse of that would be true, that he can get to the shallow flys and hits, too from regular depth. The wall is a lot harder than the grass that he would be diving on, and he could see what is in front of him. I just think he would be even more effective if he used his speed running forward, instead of backward, and the end result would be the same amazing catches, with less chance of serious injury, and even more great catches.

    Moya never stops moving, even when he is supposedly in the still part of the stretch. I don't see how it is not a balk.
  13. h2oface
    So true. This team needs to win with offense. Score at least 5, early if possible, and hope hard.
  14. h2oface
    Hildenberger did well. If no shifting, no runs. The manager/management did this to him. Hildenberger did what he does, and get the ground balls (well, one easy pop up for a second baseman). Another one on the manager trying to be too smart and sabr shifting.
  15. h2oface
    Wow. Another failed shift. Maybe no more shifting today?
  16. h2oface
    Two shifts in a row that would have been two outs - the grounder maybe a double play. Instead........ Could have been out of the inning.
  17. h2oface
    wasn't that grounder by Donaldson exactly where a short stop would set up in a straight away normal position?
  18. h2oface
    Hey.... I can't stand Colon getting starts at all! I was screaming for his exit after 5, before he was left in to give up the second solo homer. When it was 3-1. You are pressing your luck to even start him. If you get 5 and have a 2 run lead, it is a total no brainer to get him the hell out of there. Wins are really up to the offense with this team and their pitching. The goal should be to score 5, and hope.

    It is not a complaint. I am not complaining. I am analyzing. Observation and analysis. Gathering impartial data from the most accurate sources. No emotion, No opinion. Just facts. And reporting them. If someone wants to show evidence to the contrary that is not opinion, but evidence, I welcome it. And it will not be received as a complaint. But I do disagree with the statement, "Nothing's gonna change." I believe it will as the data is collected, and the emotion removed, and it will be embraced to be more fair for all sooner than you think. Things always change. Things consistently change.

    And the Yankees gain another game on the first wild card and home field. 4 games back now.
  21. h2oface
    And it should have been ball four!!! And the umpire, after a great game, affects the end of game, instead of letting the players do it. There you go. So close, too.
  22. h2oface
    Missed the first pitch to Vargas, big time. Clearly high!
  23. h2oface
    We survived Duffey, so there is good mojo in the air/
  24. h2oface
    We escaped a Tyler Duffey outing (hopefully it is over after this one inning). Rally Time!!!!!! Meat of the order!
  25. h2oface
    Looks like that was the 5th pitch. But again, very close.
