    I would put Diamond out there again. The two two-out singles were both softly hit balls that fell in the right places. He's got to get back in a groove again, so let him work through it. We also have a bullpen on fumes.

    Why did I have to pick today to give up sniffing glue?
  3. big dog
    bases loaded, Cabrera and Fielder up, we get out giving up one run. That feels like a win to me.
  4. big dog
    OK, how do we get Miggy out here?
  5. big dog
    Two on and two out. Torii up. Time for the high heat. Not the nibbling.
  6. big dog
    We aren't having any fun duensing to the music tonight. Tough luck, Vanimal.
  7. big dog
    We're going down with a whimper in the bottom of the 8th, too.
  8. big dog
    I agree in principle, but hasn't the bullpen been getting mangled with overuse? I'm seeing more of Casey Fein than I'm seeing of my kids these days.
  9. big dog
    No, I vote we don't discourage him.
  10. big dog
    Adam Dunn hit a grounder that Dozier fielded in the outfield. He threw to Morneau for the out, even though Dunn had already crossed the bag.
  11. big dog
    Come on, boys, let's get some runs.
  12. big dog
    WAR! Huh! Woo-oh-oh, what is it good for? Absolutely Nothing! Huh! It was time for a little Edwin Starr in the thread.
  13. big dog
    Yeah, if the Twins are down late you know Gardy's going to bring the Pony to the plate.
  14. big dog
    So we should rush out and sign a big-time FA pitcher because long-term deals can hurt you? I surrender.
  15. big dog
    School of Thought 1: we should have signed a stud pitcher. I think stud FA pitchers are a bad long-term deal more often than not, and this is a club that needs to think long-term. Signing a really good shortstop, had there been any available, would have been a great plan by me. Or someone to play third base. School of Thought 2: the Twins should have signed more pitchers to give themselves a better chance. I can see the logic here; if you pay 4 guys $2.5 million each and you keep 2 of them, you are getting the 2 best ones for $5 million per, in effect. The problem there is you are basically talking about FAs who are hoping for a bounce-back year to a big contract, and they need innings to prove themselves. The Twins don't have many pitchers that were expected to be good, but they do have a lot of bodies that at least could be adequate. If you were a guy who needed to count on 175 IP this year, would you want to be one of 4 projects competing for 2 spots? I'd rather go to a team that was able to basically promise me a rotation spot (barring complete disaster). You can disagree about who we signed, but I don't think the team could have signed more of them very easily, other than guys like Harden or Perez who will need to wait until later in the season anyway.

    Excellent win. The bullpen is a lot better than we thought it was going to be. Unfortunately, we need it even more than we thought. Let's hope for a good start tomorrow.
  17. big dog
    Thanks, Dr. Doumit, I feel a lot better now.
  18. big dog
    We're going Duensing! Cue the polka music.
  19. big dog
    And 6-5 is even scarier. Maybe Hernandez can come in- he hardly pitched the other night. Something's got to change. The pen is burned up and the Orioles are on fire.
  20. big dog
    I was pleased with the acquisition of Worley. At this point, though, he just looks like he's lobbing pitches in. There's no velocity, not much movement, not even much control. I know this doesn't come as a shock to anyone here, but I just had to type it. And like I said above, I'd love to see him get through 5 1/3.
  21. big dog
    I've been out- someone tell me which reliever we brought up from AAA today, please.
  22. big dog
    Hopefully Worley can finish 5 1/3...
  23. big dog
    Thanks, that's very helpful- such a weird play, I had no idea what the scoring should or could have been.
  24. big dog
    and Morny pops up on 3-0. Plooooouuuuufffffeeeeee
  25. big dog
    All right, let's end this thing in the bottom of the 9th and send the folks home happy. This is not my favorite kind of excitement.
