They have made the light weight advanced long-john for decades; if people are too ignorant to know they would make a day like this as comfortable as 78 in June, they live in the wrong state.
The two years they were both with the Twins: seems you are already with a circus, 0 WAR, verses 1.1 the years they played together, Jr. was SO impressive.
And look at those impressive fielding numbers from Jr.
vs
Only a clown would have kept Jr. at that point in time.
Some one told Julien to not let the bat just sit on his shoulder; he still goes down two strike watch the ball go across the middle of the plate , but, he then figures it is time to swing the bat, which has worked for the past three games.
Gardenhire was horrible his last three years, and inept in the post season his entire time here, so, I doubt Baldelli is in too much trouble, except, maybe , them ripping him a new anus , verbally.
IF they lose badly, or look stupid in field or base paths -- some thing will probably happen , but predicting what is not in our realm of knowledge shown by dozens of : I get the feeling that this ... happen has been quite wrong.
You see only what you want to see and make the "sophomore slump" excuse.
Cave's second year was actually his best year so the Soph. Slump is bs. Caves defense was average at best , Julien is a black whole to the defense. Has been and always will be.
Going by 2 complete years; with as little faith as I put in WAR, Cave's WAR was 2.2,; Juliens was 2.4.
Cave went steadily down hill till last year when he had his 3rd best year; Julien will, if he is fortunate do as well as Cave did, but will never be as good with a glove..
