    One good game, over all, his numbers offense and defese are down or not improving from where he once was. He is not the best,

    Kansas City stomped Tampa Bay today, do not disregard these victories as gimmes.
  3. RpR
    Probably Wallner; right now Julien's bat is keeping him up.
  4. RpR
    The scorers have been as extremely forgiving as some of the posters here; Julien should have a goodly larger number of errors than they scored. He has a lead glove and is a detriment at 2nd, send Buxton to IL and play Julien as DH.

    Taylor's back awakens

    It seems with this ump. if the ball is near the top of the strike zone, he must mentally flip a coin in his head as to whether or not it is a strike or ball.
  7. RpR
    If they can get Julien to get rid of his lead glove , he has a bright future.
  8. RpR
    Should not be.

    My error, I should have said re-treads from two years ago, but where are Acher, Bundy, Smeltzer, Duffey, plus I said AND SUCH, read every word. i stand by what I said. Pie in the Sky rookies at any position is a crap-shoot, and the fans will boo them, even louder than they did in the last game. Minnesota has become another New York, they boo like little children and I wonder how the rookies will deal with booing.

    Here are the Saints at this point.

    If they want to bring up a AAA dude who is doing real well Stevenson is better than any of those named, BUT, he plays Center Field and we have Center Fielders. Those who say Kepler should play Center Field, he was about as error prone there as Wallner is in Right Field now, which is probably why he does not play there.

    I am glad you mentioned that to him,; some years back another person on a garden site mentioned it but I had totally forgotten. Dedicated nurserys in St. Cloud or Hutch area are fading to maybe one eigth of what once was and so many now have same poo, differnt location. I used to go to Bachman's on 55 and hit one jin Zimmerman a couple of years back but I need to find different ones. Thank you.

    Hmm, I am heading down to my garden in Hutch later today. Good soil down there but last years drought was SOB on its best days. Corn, at least some is shoulder high alread; turkeys did not stomp corn over this year. Potato bugs are back, I usually pick and squash them but did not have time last week.

    I was writing about last years pitchers and such;. Money problems would come from empty stands just like the seventies when all the rookies simply did not play well enough to enthuse the fans to buy tickets like they did for gents of the sixties and tickets were cheap back then as was the food. Que sera, sera.

    As I said it is wishful thinking; the Pohlads know what they have, they have been burned by crap-shoot retreads, they are not going to bring up a bunch of rookies and hope for the best. So far their minor league rookies have been mediocre as a whole.

    It would be sweet if he were the Twins version of De La Cruz; in the Big Show before he is 22.
  18. RpR
    They should make them use Little League Baseballs and Soft Ball Bats.

    When the Twins were winning earlier this year, they got third rate coverage on the evening sports news; if they go back to losing 100 games, they will get less coverage than Legion baseball games.
  20. RpR
    Well Kep is still the 3rd fastest Twin playing regularly, I looked at the factors for running speed and they simply cannot measure base stealing due to number of sprints necessary to measure. At that, Kep has the same number of Bolts as Polanco, so that says a bit about why he can steal as well as Polanco, or could.
  21. RpR
    WOW, the Polanco, who is on a list of the worst SS ever on MSN, should still be playing SS, LOL. You simply dislike Kepler , your rhetoric says so. or he would not be the only player you say is the problem. You have your opinion and I have mine, we do not agree; end of discussion.

    An 88 mph fastball was not much 40 years ago. Players have been watch films of pitchers before I was born. Patterns , trajectories and routes are as new as the day baseballs were no longer soft. Baseball has changed with each new regulation differing from the past. Same crap, different pile is all it is.; what is missing is Satchel Paige types and knuckleballers. I am sure modern modes would not allow them to be the best among the best they were, mathematical formulas would say they cannot do what they did. Same crap, different piles.

    Really replacing a player who had 4 errors in Right Field in 8 years in the minors with some who had 26 errors in Right Field in 4 years in the minors is sacrificing SOME defense, LOL. OK, I should have said wearing blinders, not tunnel vision.
  24. RpR
    Based on what fact, not opinion.
  25. RpR
    In 2021 Kepler was 10--0 stealing bases, tied for second most with Gordon and one behind Polanco; I do not think he has lost much speed if any, I think his attitude has changed for some reason. As players coming to the Twins are now dropping, instead having a better season, I am with the group that think their coaching, top to bottom, is a major part of the problem.
