    RP & diehard...can you explain to me whatr JR's plan is?
  2. DPJ
    I've advocated "blowing it up" since last season and I still think that's the best plan of action for this franchise. The Twins aren't gonna win in the next couple years unless the Pohlads go on a spending spree (which won't happen) Hell maybe I wouldn't be against blowing it up if there was some type of longterm plan coming from the front office, but I've yet to hear anything that sounds like a legit plan to get this team back to the postseason. I don't care about ticket sales or selling hope to the fans cause the moment you start winning again the fans will come back. Yeah it's gonna be a tough couple years, but treading water while still being one of the worst teams in the league isn't a plan. It's time to start over...

    I know people in Chicago think the Dome was this magical building that took a 70 win team and somehow turned them into a 90+ win playoff squad. But this isn't an outside team or an inside team (I don't even know what an inside team is) This is just a very bad baseball team plain and simple.

    I could go on and on about my hatred of Gardy, but I'll save it for now. Gardy's had a great run in Minnesota, hell I might love the 2002 MN Twins more then both the championship teams. But the time has some to a new regime to take over managing this team. Please not someone who was born and raised on "Twins Baseball" But a fresh outside voice who will bring something new to the organization.

    First off were talking a one game sample size, replay that game 100 times and the Russians win 99 of them. Secondly, isn't picking players that fit best in a system still about talent? He picked the players that would succeed in the system he was running or offense or whatever the **** hockey does.
  6. DPJ
    You can't judge what's going to happen in a 5 or 7 games sample size. Anyone can beat anyone in a short series...except the Twins.

    This is the last time I'm going to say this. I'm sure somewhere just like everything we all do, there's a mental approach to the game. But you or I have no idea what so ever how that effects a player on a given day. We don't know what losing does, we don't know what winning does, we don't know jack ****. So at the end of the day the only thing you can judge off is talent, talented teams win games and non-talented teams lose games. That's it, I'm done...slag off.
  8. DPJ
    Never mind the A's going on a unsustainable run of winning like 8 or 9 games by one run.
  9. DPJ
    It took 20 years cause they couldn't produce a lick of pitching for that all. This isn't ****ing hard to understand, if you don't have a talented roster then you're going to lose games. But if you draft, trade and sign well and put together a good team then you'll win. They made a great trade of Teix, they started to finally produce some pitching and a smart and progressive front office took over, that's why the Rangers win not some stupid-ass "winning culture" That's it, that's all there is to this.
  10. DPJ
    Were talking about a 162 SS while you're bring up USA Baseketball and what a 7-8 game tourny. NTM baseketball is a team sport where flow and teamwork matter a ton. Those things aren't that important in baseball, atleast not important enough to sink a talented roster.
  11. DPJ
    How did the Texas Rangers learn how to win after being garbage for all those years. Did Ronnie Wash bust out some 8balls and get everyone to believe? Or did they finally gather a talented enough roster to get outta the basement? How did the Pirates finally start winning, was it Clint Hurdles doing naked laps in the clubhouse? Or did they hit on some high picks like Walker, McCutchon and mades some good trades to finally piece together a rotation?
  12. DPJ
    I agree that not everything is a number when it comes to sports, but how in the hell do you quantify what you're talking about. How do you learn how to win, teams don't stay bad forever so how does a team learn how to win. Is it maybe when they get enough friggin talent to win games? How does a team captain/leader effect wins, how's Cuddyer doing in CO? How does a manager players believe in effect wins? I could go on all day...
  13. DPJ
    I can't respond to that cause there's no valid response that can be given. Neither you or I have any proof that any of that crap you just mentioned effects on the field proformance. I don't live in a world of made up clubhouse mojjo or whatever you believe in. If you look at the bad teams in baseball it's cause they lack talent to win games. If you look at the winning teams it's cause they have a talented roster. Were not reinventing the wheel here, good teams win games while bad teams lose games.
  14. DPJ
    What in the hell is "stench in it's DNA" How is someone suppose to respond to that. Talent is all that matters in this game, if you have talented players then you're going to win games. If you have nontalented players then you're going to lose games. Lets not get into the mythical world of clutch, knowing how to win and whatever bs media driven cliches.
  15. DPJ
    The Twins front office would really rather watch Blackburn do this then let Liam take his lumps?
  16. DPJ
    Where's Dave to tell us that there's still hope for Blackie?
  17. DPJ
    It doesn't have anything to do with "leaning how to win" Teams with talent win and teams without talent lose. The Pirates and Royals have been bad for so long cause they didn't hit on picks, lost what little talent they had to free agencey or bad trades. Hell the farthest team to advances in the postseason in the Gardy era was the 2002 team that had no "winners" among them.
  18. DPJ
    Worst team in baseball for atleast 3-4 years. Bottom it out, start over and pray the Twins are smart enough to hit on some picks and trades.
  19. DPJ
    I hope he is, I want this team to bottom-out Houston style.
  20. DPJ
    Cause any real fan of the Twins should hate Nick Blackburn, he's everything that's wrong with this teams pitching philosophy. I'd rather cheer for wife beating Brett Meyers then Nick Blackburn.
  21. DPJ
    I am so happy to see this continue to happen to Blackburn cause I wish nothing but bad things apon him.
  22. DPJ
    I see that PitchFX has really helped Blackie's stuff.
  23. DPJ
    3 flies outs for Blackburn...that's always a good sign for Blackie.
  24. DPJ
    Well I continue to watch Twins Baseball so I guess you're right.
  25. DPJ
    I don't mind Hawk at all, maybe cause it's only get to hear it 3-4 times a hear on those WGN games. But I like him, kind refreshing in a weird kinda way.
