  1. It seems Baldelli thinks so also and the Twins are dropping fast, while other teams put base stealers in scoring position because Jeffers/pitchers can or do nothing about it.
  2. Kepler stole 10 bases last year without being caught; Polanco 11-6: 2017 Buxton 29-1, last year 9-1: last year Gordon 10-1 The can do it, they just do not.
  3. And the Twins defense goes down the toilet with the won-loss record.
  4. What is referred as hobgoblin of little minds? Definition of A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. A great person does not have to think consistently from one day to the next. This remark comes from the essay “Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson does not explain the difference between foolish and wise consistency.
  5. Paranoia strikes deep, into your game it will creep.

    Uggghhhh

    Tim I agree , to me it was there was a switch that was turned off at the 5th inning, turned out the lights as the party was over.
  7. Lets see how Sano does with the Saints for rehab; he might do just as Kirilloff has done, exceed for the Saints and lousy for the Twins.
  8. Better pitcher, lousy defense, brilliant!
  9. Hmm, some whine about bad umpires while other snicker about catchers supposedly stealing strikes; maybe all those bad calls are just catchers pitch-framing. ?
  10. Hmm, a pitcher is only as good as his catcher, well then if we trade for a pitcher we will have to trade for a catcher also, brilliant.
  11. Wishful thinking, not reality at this point; comparing Jeffers to past people is rationalizing at best and dissing past players at worst.. What they did has zip to do with Jeffers being a liability to this team, not some thing from the past.
  12. None of whom have performed offensively and defensively, especially defense, as Kepler; good way to reduce the chance of winning by becoming a boarding school for AAA players.
  13. There is no such thing as luck, good and bad fortune, and that is of one's own making by doing, not doing any thing, your actions lead to your fortune whether it be that one bit of effort to make a extremely difficult catch, or swing at a ball because you are believe it will not be called a ball. You see, you analyze , you act, or do not act. Believing in luck is a fools folly.
  14. With their shut-out record the Twins are showing they need a strong defense BADLY; Miranda should be sent down to improve (learn) his defense now; How well Kiriloff will perform at Major League level is still a crap-shoot; Larnach still has a not strong, inaccurate arm but is Kirilloff better, now is the time to find out by sending Miranda down and bringing Kirilloff up to try at First and in the field. To wait until the Twins drop out of first place will be disaster; Arraez has so far been adequate at first but I still say his height is a problem waiting to strike.
  15. For those whose faith is in numbers, the fact the Twins lead the league in being shut-out should be large in their spread sheet minds.
  16. You like numbers, numbers are not fool proof.
  17. Yea, you have to score a LOT because your defense sucks, brilliant!
  18. Where does a player score most easily from; first, second or third on a long single/ To say it does not matter, by any one, is just plain silly.
  19. One because of poor base running and the other because the they were out of challenges. He is as close to a zero threat as a catcher can be at this point.
  20. Wasn't some thing similar said about Hicks, Rooker, Sano?
