    If I was Mauer I would bunt against that shift every game until they stopped. It would be really interesting to see how long it took before teams were forced to change the infield shift. With the shift that was employed yesterday, he could probably bunt successfully 75% of the time. Or, do it every time if nobody is on base. What fun that would be.

    Damn. Hoping for Rodgers
  3. Linus
    Corresponding move?
  4. Linus
    Outfield defense is a good thing
  5. Linus
    He's so slow to get in the throwing position. Looks like a grandpa

    OK, at what point do people say we are contending this year? I have this vision of the Twins being in the hunt for a wild card on September 10th with people posting that we better be playing the kids so as to prepare for the future. Its not mutually exclusive to make a trade that helps us this year and the future, for example, catcher.

    MLB hitters sit on his fastball and in this day and age, 94 isn't anything special. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see the kind of stuff that is going to solve our BP problems.
  8. Linus
    Lucroy is a really good catcher - and absolutely no comparison with Suzuki. I do think Suzuki would be substantially better playing only half the games.
  9. Linus
    I'm not the biggest Arcia fan but he isn't going to fetch much in a trade and there is still the chance that you strike gold with him. Plus, they need a DH as early as next year. If you keep he and Vargas, there is a chance that one of them grabs the job and runs with it. The other becomes the hitting coach at Central Illinois St.

    This. Tonkin has a relatively straight 94 hour fastball and a slider he can't control. Unless he is so dang nervous when he is in the big leagues I don't see him as somebody that is going to solve our problems. I understand why TR is giving guys a chance but we are getting desperate here. I'd consider Achter now and Oliveros when he is off the DL and ready. The other thing I would do is start using May as my 3rd most important reliever behind Perkins and Fein.
  11. Linus
    Mostly, I guess I wonder why you wouldn't just let Oliveros have a chance if you are going to take flyers on people. I will say that some guys take a while to get it back after TJ so somebody might catch him at the right time.
  12. Linus
    Twins say no but for a different reason. Lucroy is going to get paid big time in a couple years and if I'm the GM I'm not committing to huge contracts for catchers ever again. Consequently, good prospects are too big a price for 2 years of Lucroy.
  13. Linus
    You two need to get a room and spare the sane from your pain.
  14. Linus
    There is no way any amount of managing could have resulted in a sweep. Comments like that are not credible.
  15. Linus
    Gotta like that slider. This guy's got stuff
  16. Linus
    With this sample size of one I am saying that we are watching the Twins best starter.
  17. Linus
    So,28 homers?
  18. Linus
    Sure looked like the old Pelfrey last night. Two possible silver linings he puts together a couple of good starts and is attractive at the deadline and maybe may boosts the pen
  19. Linus
    At this point I'm just happy your post didn't contain a fork reference
  20. Linus
    Molly pulled the right strings last night getting Pelfrey out of there. I like him as the manager.
  21. Linus
    Danny Santana has an absolute gun.
  22. Linus
    Hermann is not needed. Fryer has to be better and at least will hustle. He should have been on first there with ease.
  23. Linus
    This is not a perfect country but we have true freedom which should never be taken for granted.
  24. Linus
    This. The only "irrational" part of this discussion is to be so wedded to any particular statistic that you would completely disregard any other factor. And then to do it with a condescending attitude makes for a snarky thread.
  25. Linus
    Or I might be the pitching coach who, working with all involved everyday, thinks pitcher A is throwing better than pitcher B right now. Or, stats no matter how sophisticated are not the only decision making factors.
