    And Varland takes his award and pitches his next game like he earned it. Wait..
  2. Bodie
    When you are "tipping your cap" ( for their "stellar" pitching) to the oppo once a week, it's time to look in the mirror...
  3. Bodie
    Yes.
  4. Bodie
    "Trust the process..." Going to go puke now.
  5. Bodie
    One quibble... If you think this team is "as poor as possible" with the glove , how did you grade the Twins for last season's second half? It can get worse... much, much worse - one word "Julien"!
  6. Bodie
    Only because it was Sano's brain inside Sano's body...
  7. Bodie
    Since it was Duran, probably pretty darned hard...
  8. Bodie
    Be optimistic, old boy!!!! I am pretty sure they won't sign Joey, Whose Name We Shall Not Speak, again. So they can learn. Pretty sure, anyway...
  9. Bodie
    Same score as if the literally didn't show up! Forfeit line: MIL 111 111 111 900 MIN 000 000 000 000 Would've been just as well off (and statistically better) if the entire team got lost on the way to work (or whatever you call what they are doing to merit their paycheck)...
  10. Bodie
    Agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence. The cupboard is otherwise bare in terms of entertainment or effectiveness. (Sorry Joe Ryan... but you'll live and possibly thrive) The second? Not sure how it gets uglier (no pitching at all, no defense, no fundamentals anywhere, and just enough erratic scoring to pull out a game to prevent an embarrassing sweep), and surely don't want to see it if it does!
  11. Bodie
    "Batty" is what it is...
  12. Bodie
    It's obvious that no Twins decision makers think he has anything to offer the major league club. It is even more obvious why...
  13. Bodie
    Just run, baby! And before you run, STRETCH! And to cool down after? Stretch some more. 150 years of players knew this... and didn't pull hamstrings running to 1B!
  14. Bodie
    Sure!!!! Let's get Mike Piazza. Except for the bat - Piazza's bat is guaranteed better today than Wong's. Heck, he's rested, and might be better behind the plate! F@#k it, sign Piazza as next year's backup.
  15. Bodie
    C'mon!!!! Everyone knew coming into the season that any combo of Julien, Miranda and Kirilloff would be better than this dumpster signing! Everyone!!!! Never mind that none had any experience at 1B. Never mind that 2 of the 3 have yet to display any defensive awareness at their natural positions. Nor anything approaching "defensive versatility". Ignore that one is actually retired. Now we have this cheapo signing making every Twins produced product look bad by being "clutch" when most Twins reaction to the word "clutch" is a mumble about "I have an automatic..." Horrible signing, getting worse with every game winning hit and 1B scoop he performs!!
  16. Bodie
    Figure close to 3 hours for the game, and another half hour pre/post game. Unless you want to hear Trevor Ploufe's story about the fattest slump buster he ever saw (I know I want it, but...), you've got to fill that time with something!
  17. Bodie
    So, a team's 3rd or 4th pick to start at 2B or 3B (Julien, Lee, Castro at2b entering the season all get the call before Clemens- even if he was on the roster) (Lewis, Miranda and Lee at least at 3b) not being a "replacement level" might be the dumbest "take" on this site! How are other teams' (projected)AA starters producing at the MLB level??? There is a legitimate comparison. Clemens has held the fort, and then some.. I'll gladly take another Clemens start before more Cody-clickbait.
  18. Bodie
    C'mon... Let me paraphrase the replies when I have recently mentioned Jax after some of his disappointing outings. Take away just a few bad outings , and Griffin Jax is elite. In fact he is elite, period. His start of the season was an aberration. His stuff is elite, ergo he is elite (repeated ad infinitum).

    The only thing "proved" in Cedar Rapids is that hog processing facilities stink decades after they are gone... (Cedar Rapids resident 1989-94)
  20. Bodie
    You haven't got the message? There is now one official way to skin the cat. And it means HOFer Boggs sucked because he didn't homer or K enough. Gold Glove be damned! Batting titles are for old fogies, and idiots. Personally, I ignored said memo and regularly cite him as an example of the idiocy of reliance on analytics. How many of his "Boggs hole" singles would have never made it to the outfield wall if left alone??? He didn't care if it was a bullet or a dying quail as long as it hit the field before leather.
  21. Bodie
    Or, look to the booth (occasionally) to get yourself some LaTroy Hawkins. Bad starter, ergo untrustworthy to the be a closer (even if young Hawk probably had the "stuff" to be an elite closer) when first moved to the BP. By default he was a long reliever. And he resurrected (maybe just surected, as he never had ML success over any length of time) his career, building trust (mostly by being more effective) until he was trusted as a late inning reliever. For 20 years (pretty sure he hit that mark... could be wrong). Not a bad go of it for a guy who had an inauspicious start.
  22. Bodie
    Easier to believe if you think "Rocco" is spelled r-o-c-k-h-e-a-d, but yeah...
  23. Bodie
    Probably just that! The same way I have always said Eddie Julien has never looked like a MLB player... Though the call on EJ was a much easier call! Some guys just look like they don't and won't cut it. Now, or in the future. Pretty simple concept!
  24. Bodie
    Makes more sense to me if you keep Varland out of the discussion.... Using Varland's performance to justify this is inane! We know what to expect from Varland, just not the when.
  25. Bodie
    McCusker raked, so, so should Luigi's pornostache...
