  1. Just get rid of the first baseman and let Dozier and Gibby cover plays on the right side
  2. Antony talked to Provus before the game today. He insisted Pelfrey's velocity problem was mechanical, not physical. I assume a drop like that has to be physical but, maybe Parker has spotted something?
  3. I am happy to eat crow over the Suzuki signing. He's put together some good AB's, all year really.
  4. Stringer, somehow you always come up with good talkers for the forums. I don't always comment in your threads but I do read them! Keep it up, mang

  5. I get the bit but I honestly don't understand where this comes from. You would think the entire state is filled with morning news anchors and that just hasn't been my experience (and I've lived here my whole life).
  6. Final lines for the starters Hughes: 12 FB, 2 LD, 8 GB, 21 fouls, 11 whiffs Gonzalez: 2 FB, 5 LD, 6 GB, 12 fouls, 15 whiffs
  7. Reason no. 122 to love Minnesota: the corn Reason no. 51 to hate Minnesota: the corny jokes
  8. Reason no. 40 to love Minnesota: the lakes. Reason no. 11 to hate Minnesota: the flooding
  9. I think its ok to shift on right handed hitters now
  10. 6th Hughes: 4 FB, 0 LD, 1 GB, 1 foul, 0 whiffs Matusz: 2 FB, 0 LD, 1 GB, 1 foul, 0 whiffs
  11. Oh yeah. Forgot about the tolls. Man I am glad we don't have to deal with those here. And this is coming from someone who didn't buy his first car till last December.
  12. I haven't been too many places but been to Chicago a few times and always have a good time. Why do Illinoisians hate IL so much?
  13. 5th Hughes: 3 FB, 1 LD, 0 GB, 3 fouls, 1 whiff Gonzalez: 0 FB, 0 LD, 0 GB, 6 fouls, 4 whiffs Patton: 0 FB, 0 LD, 1 GB, 0 fouls, 0 whiffs
  14. Herrmann with 3 swings and misses in his first PA. Let's see if he can foul one off this time.
  15. 4th Hughes: 1 FB, 0 LD, 1 GB, 0 fouls, 3 whiffs Gonzalez: 0 FB, 1 LD, 2 GB, 1 foul, 3 whiffs
  16. 3rd inning Hughes: 2 FB, 0 LD, 0 GB, 8 fouls, 2 whiffs Gonzalez: 0 FB, 2 LD, 3 GB, 0 fouls, 4 whiffs
  17. 2nd inning Hughes: 1 FB, 0 LD, 1 GB, 2 fouls, 4 whiffs Gonzalez: 1 FB, 1 LD, 1 GB, 2 fouls, 3 whiffs
  18. 1st inning: Hughes: 0 FB, 1 LD, 3 GB, 6 fouls, 0 whiffs Gonzalez: 1 FB, 1 LD, 0 GB, 3 fouls, 1 whiff
  19. I like Holmes a lot too but Touki has the edge in the curveball and changeup, as I understand it (although Holmes' curve is pretty damn sick). Holmes does look pretty close to a finished product though whereas Touki would definitely be a bit of a project. In my mind it comes down to a question of - who trusts their coaches? Who is confident in their player development? That is the team who stands to strike the motherload.
  20. On the other hand - you wonder how bad his command is if he's losing strikes because the umps can't track his hammer and his catchers can't catch it (much less frame it). I'd love to see a tryout where he throws to a decent backstop and then let's see how bad his command actually is.
  21. I know I probably sound like a broken record but - command can be coached. Electricity can't. This kid could be the next Pedro.
