    I see nothing wrong with his at-bat numbers; his defense in Left Field with the Twins was - not good - by his numbers but oddly his Left Field defense was all positive last year with Rtot/yr of 17. Leaving the Twins changed something, maybe the coaches.

    What is your definition of good.

    Compare Pujols defensive numbers at age 24 to Miranda's, BIG difference.
  4. RpR
    Using what crystal ball? Signing Miranda now is gazing into a crystal ball, at best.

    As far as left field defense goes, they are similar, only Eddie's strong arm is missing. Gio should be on that list, any one else at 3rd is huge drop.

    Luis was swinging for the fence a good bit more early in the season, his batting average took a tumble, now he is making sure he hits the ball, his average is at least stable. Some other Twins should take note.

    Different team, different people, different system: some Minnesota should do is change some thing in their system.

    I have watched the Twins, a big fan but not addicted to any sport any more, on what ever channel had it on TV or listened on radio. I have cable and see it there now, does this mean I may have listen to game on radio only?

    Yet they shut out the Dodgers. a team the Twins looked like a AA team when playing.

    Sturgeon is showing life again; he was doing well , bumped up to the Saints, fell flat, sent back down, looked like a flat line, now he has shown life again.

    Only a mediocre team is happy with mediocrity.

    75 RBI or 75 RBIs?

    RpR commented on Greglw3's blog entry in Greg Allen

    I am wrong in simply calling it an acronym, an acronym is a word and RBI is not a word, so I had grab my college rules of correct grammar and: - Most readers probably know that an acronym is an invented word made up of the initial letters or syllables of other words, like NASA or NATO. Fewer probably know that an initialism is a type of acronym that cannot be pronounced as a word, but must be read letter-by-letter, like FBI or UCLA. But even at that , in correct grammar, in an acronym the vowel is the plural form, so there is not s in a plural version, but as English is one of the few languages where the verb most often comes before the noun, for the verb to follow screws with most peoples minds

    No you must be kidding, it is an acronym and there are singular and plural acronyms, you have shown the truth in my statement.

    Gordon is an inept outfielder far too often, Arraez is inept at first, Beckham has been the only left fielder to throw a runner out at home, but the umps cancelled it, Miranda is like Gordon , you hold your breath on fielding plays, if Celestino's was a good as his speed in the outfield, he would be 100 percent better, simple fact Twins field beyond 3rd and Short Stop, is a crap-shoot. Cave is not the problem, Beckham is not the problem, pitching is not the problem so many want to make it, simply performing basic baseball tasks, especially hitting is the problem.

    I don't not know if that been such a minor aspect with todays youths command of grammar already in the pits.

    Well , the Twins now will face the Royals who just shut-out the Dodgers, we shall see.
  17. RpR
    THAT is the Twins problem, not the pitching, we could have the best two starting and relief pitchers in the league and would be no better unless they threw a shut-out every game, although the grade school baseball defense, especially today, is an embarassment.
  18. RpR
    Archer beat the Yankees 8-1, one the Twins few true high points.
  19. RpR
    RISP means zip if there if there is not a rbi; -- I.e." Player k has 78 risp at bats, he has 10 rbi -- bench him."
  20. RpR
    Make Miranda DH, his fielding is still sub-par.
  21. RpR
    ANY body getting would cure a lot.
  22. RpR
    Well as the Saints have a losing record, let them flail away there, and not in the Bigs.
  23. RpR
    Bringing back Astudillo would have been a far, far, far, far better choice; opposing pitchers would face, regardless of whether it was a hit or not, some one who WOULD put the bat on the ball, rather than strike out repeatedly.
  24. RpR
    Fielding has been at little league level for several games now and unless that stops (runners not on base from errors cannot score) other teams will still see the Twins as no challenge.
  25. RpR
    Twins M.O. not just this year: Starting pitching come out looking real, good, bats are silent; Bats come out putting a good run number up early, pitching stinks.
