    Doumit may not have had a great year but we just traded away two veterans. Remember everyone you can't have a good season with a bunch of rookies. We better have someone besides Mauer in the lineup next year.

    Sending Hicks down is a bad idea. Repeat, bad idea. Really people. The Twins are not hitting well and we only have ONE center fielder, that's right, HICKS. Who is getting better. What did he do last night? Stole a home run, hit a home run and hit a double on a night that Mauer and Morneau did nothing at the plate. And you want to bring up who? Ridiculous.

    Pelfrey is getting better but he still is only good for five. He was lucky to get out of the fifth and should not have been brought out for the sixth. Gardy screwed that one up and lost the game, not Palfrey, Pelfrey was done for the night. There is no one else to bring up yet so talking about sending Pelfrey down makes no sense. Worley looks worse at this point. He is the one that should go down first but not until someone can come up and do better and that is not Hendricks. It would help if the M&M boys would hit like they are paid to. Could be a frustrating year. They really are close to being good and much better than last year. A fan can only be so patient and we have all been very patient. Thank God KC has been pitching so well. I guess time will tell. We are all praying that the help that is on its way does not wait too long.

    Mauer caught Mauer last year? I don't remember those games. Seems impossible.
  5. bear333
    If this was the middle of the season and KC had already pitched eight innings of ball more than once it works. But for his second start, when he has no track record with us? It was the wrong call, period.

    Bringing Correia out for the 8th was Gardy's first bad call of the season. That situation is similar to the call to punt in football. It was Correia's second start and seven innings wasn't enough? Really? You bring in your set up guy and your closer every time in that situation. The score is 1-0 in the eighth - You punt - you bring in Burton and Perkins. I was listening to that whole game and when Gardy trotted out Correia in the eighth, I turned the radio off. I knew the game was lost and so did everyone else listening. I like our manager a lot, but he will never manage a team past a division title.

    I'm going to the game Wednesday, so I feel forced to say something positive, but I'm going to hold off till Wednesday around 5pm in case I have a reason to change my mind.

    It will be a pitcher, so will the 2nd and 3rd call ups. Maybe Swarzak. They will make room on the 40 for someone that can help so Deduno and Walters may be on their way too.

    Burnett did this to himself.
  11. bear333
    Since the Twins brain trust is coaching him to be a more "balanced" hitter and to work on his defense. We could see his HR's go down, his errors go down and his BA go up.
  12. bear333
    That does say it all. Thanks for the post. Mauer can't get on base and then hit himself home. That is why we have Willingham and Morneau on the payroll.

    You know what I mean. The sounds they have been making have all been :He has control issues." They have given the impression that he had little or no chance to make the rotation. Now they are finally making different sounds. I know Ryan always saw his potential and that is why he gave him a shot. They are just now, finally, expressing optimism instead of criticisms and that makes me happy. Also, De Vries has been working his but off and is very hungry. It would be a travesty, in my opinion, if he is not given an opening day slot, even if it is in the bullpen. Long relief?
  15. bear333
    It Looks like Gardenhire and Ryan are finally taking serious notice. Gardenhire says he will try to work him into a start Sunday and that he was impressed with Deduno's performance at the Classic.
  16. bear333
    I'm concerned about Correia, as well. By the way, there were only two Twins starters with a winning record last year and Deduno was one of them. Even with his walks he may end up being more effective then a couple of the guys we are going to start the season with. I would like to see him as a 5th or 6th starter, to be honest. I love his wicked fast ball.
