The two runs a game in ST WAS an indicator...
huhguy commented on huhguy's blog entry in Blog huhguy
I must caveat..by saying...in the past when i have been hypercritical of Arcia he goes on a tear..should I pour it on? -
Seriously? Not hit the Panic Button? BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
As much as us die hard fans want to believe, we tried to ignore the anemic offense produced in ST...but now the chickens are sitting on the eggs.... True enough....good hitting would not have saved the Tiger series...with our horrible pitching...Hughes 4 run effort now looks pretty good... So when all this unfolds..we still have a .270 hitting first baseman with no power, we have a kid Vargas that I think is over matched and easily exposed....we have an outfielder at 10 million that is beyond the sunset of his career, We have Arcia who has to be the friendliest player in the league..he waves at everything.... and one of the best players on the team sitting the bench...I asked in an earlier post can twins win without Escobar and a certain writer assured that they could..REALLY??? This team is very close to killing off what little fan base they have left.
-
so the coaches are only measuring defense for roster spots?
-
Is it concerning to you that we hear our offense is better, and yet we score two runs a game on a consistent basis? Oh..hold..today we got one...I totally get we aren't playing with full lineups...but guess what neither are our opponents. In addition the pitching we are facing..many are experimenting with pitches, we are facing minor league pitchers as well. A few games ago we hit four home runs, but did you watch that game? How many were wind blown? I think to compete we HAVE to have Escobar and Santana in the lineup.and while we are at it..Im not sold on Vargas. I'm concerned and I think you should be.
-
I was convinced it was Arcia and Rosario but just looked at rosters and you are right, its Sano and Rosario
-
1- Why were Buxton and Sano cut so early? I have to assume that they were that far behind. How did Sano look at 3rd considering his inflated weight? Actually the best thing for the Twins would probably be moving him to first, as I think our production there will remain less than stellar. 2-Can this team win without Escobar playing everyday? I would love to think they are that good but I don't believe it. I sure hope the Twins don't trade him...a young talented player that had a very good year..probably only second to Santana. I'm really pulling for Rosario in CF, as he has a long term future with the Twins. I believe Hicks is finished, can we get a box of donuts for him? When Arcia was tearing up the Appy league, how many remember it was Rosario that led the league in Hr's? Pitching looks like it will be average which is definitely progress. I would like to see Meyer as 5th starter or at lease in bullpen, I believe sending him to minors is counterproductive and not the best option for his future.

Postseason Review--Josmil Pinto
huhguy commented on stringer bell's blog entry in stringer bell's Blog
I dont see the supposed "problems" with his catching...It sure appears he is good enough to be the back up catcher..but why didnt he play in meaningless games? Bad, bad sign -
Postseason Review--Aaron Hicks
huhguy commented on stringer bell's blog entry in stringer bell's Blog
Nice, nice, nice..AGREED! -
well stated
-
The issue is NOT who can get the most out of the Twins younger players... Its not really about style...either..... I find it interesting that there is emphasis on both Sano abd Buxton basically endorsing Molitor...which may not be the case at all. They might be just saying, and I think they are..that Molitor is knowledgeable and helped them. We can debate all day long the merits of either to manage the twins..but this is going to come down to one thing... Who will put the fans in the seats? In that case, DM is the clear winner... There is one Caveat though..if DM fails....then how do you resuscitate a dead horse?

Why would Steinbac(k) be part of the conversation?
huhguy commented on huhguy's blog entry in Blog huhguy
About? -
I get it, decent career ( certainly not hall of fame) He could help a new catcher like Pinto (we already hve a coach on the field -number one selling car in Japan) he knows baseball..no doubt...BUT..... WHERE IS THE FIRE? WHERE IS THE NOVELTY? WHERE ARE THE HALL OF FAME CREDENTIALS? The reason Steinbach will not be considered is bottom line, his hiring would AFFECT the bottom line.. Give me DM...he will make errors ..but in two years when the team can contend..he will have needed experience.. and he has the fire..and I have to believe he would definitely improve the bottom line, his is a hire tht would excite the fan base. On the other hand if Molitor is not picked,it will be last chance Twins have...

Article: Twins Hangouts: The GardenFire (9/29)
huhguy replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Please compare DM with PM as managers, Souhan had an interesting column on Molitor, and according to him....There is near universal respest for him from younger players and Older players alike -
Ok play Chris in of, catch Pinto..simple
-
About the only reason to watch the Twins now is to watch young talent, So why is Pinto riding the bench? Is there a catch doctor in the house? Can he be so bad that he cant even be the backup catcher? What did he do to get into the doghouse? Every time i see Suzuki penciled in, I am a lot less interested...are the pitchers requesting Suz? Help me figure this out...please!!!
-
2-3 would be great...im thinking

I want your help with this. The Twins draft Pitcher after Pitcher, and have failure after failure, How does that work? Even their two top prospects, May and Meyer, were traded for. Why can't the Twins develop pitching? Some organization seem to always have pitching, Rays, A's, Yankees (but they purchase theirs don't they? How about Seatte? Where do they get their great young pitchers? Ok, some of you stats guys, will chew me up about these respective teams. Please help with this question, Are the Twins exceptionally terrible with developing pitching or are most other teams also...pretty bad. Honestly, it feels to me...that the Twins are pretty much like other teams...Occasionally a keeper, but very few. How much of this is Rick Anderson, and how much is the talent pool, or maybe those two things are mutually exclusive. I look forward to your thoughts.

At some point you have to stop reading your high school headlines
-
If theres nobody better....but I understand he missed a team bus the other day, a couple games ago he made a critical base running error which Gardy jumped all over him for, they criticized him publicly for lack of attention to the game...I think the writing is on the wall... I assume you believe with me, without better pitching..you have the same result? Where do you propose getting the pitching from?
-
I know I will be deluged with, way to early to give up on HIcks...Bah Humbug...Hicks has been given many chances and he is up with the club again, even though he didnt earn it. The one thing that intrigues me about Hicks is he can hit for power..but where did it go? I think it went down the Hitting Coach Hole..meaning the Twins are insisting he be a complete hitter... NOTE to Twins...If he can hit 20 HR's I will live with the 220 average, he is good enough in center field... but the thing is..the Twins are in his head..the only way for him to improve is move to another franchise that does not require him to think..as long as he has to think..No way, Jose...is he gonna play... To further the problem for Hicks...Santana is an adequate CF, Shafer can play there as well..and Buxton hopefully w able to play there sometime who knows when? The Twins youngsters have shown pizzaz and this bodes well for next year..but the real question is... WIll the Twins go Free Agent Pitching again? They will have to..to avoid another 90 loss season.
-
I sure agree with you except on Hicks, I think he is toast and Parmelee would be a better option for 4th outfielder....otherwise you and I think just alike

welcome aboard!
