    Yeah, I think Esco and Suzuki are both due for moving up in the lineup.

    I'd like to see Hughes come out for the 7th, but whether he does or not this has been a great start. So glad to see him succeeding like this.
  3. big dog
    Kubel finally got one through the shift. I think they left about four feet open and he hit it. I don't understand why doinking one to the right side is so hard, but it must be tough.

    So I understand this guy Parmelee was DFA'd this spring and our team didn't pick him up. Why is our management so idiotic? ---signed, the fans of 29 teams

    Parmalee's hitting like Ortiz! That was a shot. re: Hughes- Dick mentioned that Hughes only threw one pitch that wasn't a fastball in the first two innings.

    If the minor league coaches have been trying to do this, and he hasn't been listening, how do you ramp up the pressure? You could demote him, except of course the team doesn't have anyone, or you go public and try to get his attention. You can only try privately so long, then those become your two options.

    Tonkin has such good stuff, and it isn't working. Definitely time to work on things in AAA.
  8. big dog
    Kubes did a nice job of laying off pitches there.
  9. big dog
    Hang on, I've got to go throw up and then we can talk some more.

    That double play and the Haula goal happening at the same time just made the list of "best Minnesota sports moments" post-2010.
  11. big dog
    Very happy to see the way Parm is hitting the ball. Keep it up!
  12. big dog
    Seriously. Walk him. Every time. I wouldn't object to making him move his feet a little more, too. What's he gonna do, hit a home run?
  13. big dog
    Brian Dozier has the lowest batting average in the lineup tonight, at this moment in time. Who had that in the pool 2 weeks ago?
  14. big dog
    Mission accomplished! He went calling Wiiiiiiiiilllldddfiiiiiiiiiiiire, wildfire
  15. big dog
    Which room? Front or back?
  16. big dog
    Finally! Proof that Riverbrian is actually George W. Bush!
  17. big dog
    Well, I'm pissed because now I'm going to have that going through my head all night, and I'm not threatened by wildfire. So I'm gonna vote "yes".
  18. big dog
    I had to pitch as well. I was terrible, I was just willing to do it and most guys weren't. Of course, I was terrible at everything so I couldn't afford to dislike pitching, since it at least got me on the field once in a while. You can guess how good our team was.
  19. big dog
    Well, I certainly think the mustache is fair game. He's gotten a pass on that for too long. http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site569/2013/0225/20130225__anderson,%20rick_400.jpg

    OK, I'm bringing a special request for consideration. Could we have a game thread tonight that didn't spend time bashing/defending Rick Anderson, and just leave that to two-thirds of the other active threads? Somehow I think that would be ok, but if others disagree I will stand down. I'm looking forward to a good start by Nolasco, and if I find out he played shortstop in high school I will not be at all surprised. I'll bet the majority of ML pitchers were either shortstops or centerfielders in high school, on days when they didn't pitch. Who's got an instinct on that?
  21. big dog
    Here's something on the web, which must have at least a 5% chance of being accurate, saying that this situation is one of several that give the umpire some discretion: 34. Whether a runner intentionally interfered with either a batted ball, or a ball in play being thrown by a fielder, to thwart a double play. If yes, the umpire will call out both the runner and the batter-runner on this violation. http://www.baseballfieldguide.com/BFG_Judgement.html

    Liriano's got a 4.64 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP this year. Worley might be able to accomplish that, at least in the National League. Doesn't seem like such a big deal to me...
  23. big dog
    I like everything I see from Dozier these days, including the baserunning. His average will come up, I think, and the total package is great. Maybe the thing I like best is that he seems to be having fun and being enthusiastic. Hopefully that fires up the other guys. He's become a really good interview as well.
  24. big dog
    I agree about the importance of the roster spots, and I don't understand this interest in promoting Guerrier. I'm pretty ambivalent about Raley. Twins Daily as a whole seemed to shrug their shoulders at best, and hoot at worst, when he was handed a spot on the 40-man, and he hasn't done anything to change my mind. I wonder how much leash Kubel has left.
  25. big dog
    I'm liking Santana a lot. I hope we get to see him some more. For example, I hope we get to see him cross home plate in the next five minutes.
