    5 hits yesterday, only 2 today so far! Who do the Twins think they are? The Dodgers?
  2. h2oface
    Just to be clear...... are you referring to the Bonnes article rant here as truly defensive, or the Souhan response article as the rant that is truly defensive? Or both?

    Levi Michael is listed in the box for both Chattanooga and Rochester! How does this happen? If it is so..... isn't this a story? Edit....... ah..... the Chattanooga link goes to the August 20 box. 1-5 on the day for the farm. Ouch.

    Only 5 hits today. Couple that with 3 errors given to us, and 3 BB, and there you go. Hey..... we had a 15 run differential for the series. Sure wish that had made for more than on victory. Who wants the Wild Card. Big games coming up! Yankees crushing the Red Sox. Time to come of age!

    The Twins scored 15 more runs in the 3 game series, and lost 2 of 3. Pitching was given the lead 2 times today and gave it back the very next half inning. This is a bad loss. I would take the reverse, and suck up the 17-0 stat padding drubbing any day of the week.

    Busenitz finally had the trust.... but couldn't step up. Very tough loss. I am still disappointed Goodrum was given that start today, even if it was a semi start as DH.

    It is these close, one run games, that a playoff team wins. 17-0 is nice, but this team needs to win the one run games. I feel a little something in my throat......
  8. h2oface
    Is Goodrum still gonna hit? The bottom of the order hole, yikes.

    Once Buxton learns to see the path of the ball better and make direct paths to it (like we saw Cain do against Garver), he will be even more dangerous to opposing teams. Playing shallow, and the circular sprints back was the difference today on catching the Cain drive. Poor guy, now people (like me) expect him to catch everything!

    This game and the first game of the series..... could be where a playoff birth is made or lost.
  11. h2oface
    Garver looks petrified.
  12. h2oface
    Because he hits .100 something against lefties?
  13. h2oface
    I heard a rumor that Gibson stopped by and said "Bite Me".
  14. h2oface
    Wow. I hope they got more for the rest of the month! New record!
  15. h2oface
    I guess not much desire to set the new shutout run differential record...... It's all on Turley now.
  16. h2oface
    Late to the show..... missing the fun. Any Gibson bashing going on today? front page seems to have crashed... i get http://twinsdaily.com/cgi-bin/redirect.ha
  17. h2oface
    Late to the show.....
  18. h2oface
    OK. Wow. Good stat use and research. I trust it is true. I just quickly looked at the game log summaries for each month, and the only month that looks good is April. I don't think they lie, either. You use Duffey. I don't. Obviously, Molitor agrees with you, and I cringe.
  19. h2oface
    I go with a bunch of 1 inning guys. What day is it? September 1. Pitchers should be in abundance now, and can be called up the next day. If you get 1 inning out of Duffey, don't push it. Seems simple to me.
  20. h2oface
    Glynn just likes to send Grossman and Mauer..... more exciting I guess. Hold the speed, send in the challenged.
  21. h2oface
    Hey. Gee should probably not be starting. But just as the 6 games in which Santana was bombed early, and the several that Berrios got shelled and early, it is going to happen. But relief for an inning or two...... that is where the game turns. Duffey has lost it. If you take away the first two months of the season, Duffey looks horrible. Yes, he cannot be counted on now, late, middle, or early. Even with Gee giving it up early, the 2 run relief Duffey once again provided was consequential. Upon further looking.... I was too kind. Make that just the first month only for Duffey. It seems Molitor is paralyzed by hope since, hope that he can do what he did for one month 4 months ago, instead of what he has been doing the the last 4 months.
  22. h2oface
    Let me say it one more time. I hope I don't see Duffey for the rest of the season. Duffey = death for your chances to win. His homer was the game. Provided relief? Provided the winning runs. He is toast. Bacon. Burnt. Fried. This is not first part of the season. Monitor hosts keeps hoping. I hope I don't see him for the rest of the season.
  23. h2oface
    A savvy front office makes some trades before prospects burn out the hope flame. Decision should be made sooner than later, and improve the only team that matters, the Twins, and move on without regret.

    It is amazing how many good teams, and great pitchers, can loose to bad teams. Including these Twins (if they qualify). I remember the recent 5 game series at Chicago. A team will always need victories against poor teams. A win is a win is a win. Until the playoffs. I can't negate a good performance because it may come against bad teams and offenses. I can't and won't. It's also amazing how many great offenses can perform horribly against a great pitcher having a great day. Or if you are the Twins' offense, it seems, it can even happen against a bad pitcher having a great day. "I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it." -Sandy Koufax It is interesting, even in other sports, that some great players don't seem to do so well against teams with winning records.... take a look at these quarterbacks that most would have liked to have on their team..... Aaron Rodgers 21-29 Drew Brees 20-48 Matt Ryan 17-22 Matthew Stafford 5-46 (new highest paid NFL player in history) Tom Brady 50-33 (well, he is Tom Brady...) Russell Wilson 19-12 Gibson changed everything about his delivery. That is a brave move. It may be gelling. I don't sell out on Polanco. I am not selling out on Gibson, yet, not with what he has done and is trying to do, for the long term. We need victories against all teams to get to the playoffs. If we get there..... we need a ton of luck, no matter who pitches.

    Leaving the bases loaded festival there in the 4th. 7 left on. I don't like the trend here.
