    Everyone except Dozier has raised his batting average today, and everyone except Sano has at least one RBI.
  2. big dog
    It's batting practice! What a great game to go to the Break on. Everyone's going to be champing at the bit to come back and play on Friday.
  3. big dog
    I think the team should take the money it would have spent on Zuke and use it to buy the company making the axe bats. Then they can keep all the bats and not let any other team use them.

    This is the kind of lumber we were expecting to see back in March. Glad it's finally showed up.
  5. big dog
    And Milone comes out for the sixth because??? edit: apparently because a leadoff walk was desirable

    Das ist mein Home Run Swing!!!

    Man, I hope Vargas can stay hot for a while. I've been hoping for him to turn it on for a while.
  8. big dog
    Totally agree with the above sentiments- I do not regret losing Arcia (partly because don't we all like the new and improved Kennys Vargas?), but the process really looks like a train wreck to me. One that is continuing to toss cars all around the track. I won't post an update from last night's game because I don't want a spanking...but let's just say any other team that wants to try Ozzie might be getting a chance before too long.

    Well, everyone's good at something. I wish him the best, and was certainly hoping he'd be a part of this team, but Ortiz? Sano? Not hardly.
  10. big dog
    I think Jake Reed is the answer to that puzzle. Carter played with Moss.
  11. big dog
    Yeah, that's my take. I think Arcia should have been used differently in previous years, but at this time and with this roster I think it's time to drop him. But I also think it's time to do a ton of different things, dropping Santana being another timely move. If this is the only move they make, what's the point.
  12. big dog
    OK, I'll take the under on that.
  13. big dog
    Hopefully he turns out better than Gilmartin. He's only pitched five fewer innings in the majors this year than Gilmartin has so far. Gilmartin seems like he deserves more of a shot than the Mets have given him this year, but it's possible they know more about him than I do from checking his Baseball Reference page.
  14. big dog
    Molitor keeps dragging Jepsen out to the mound to blow up games, but they designate Arcia (who might someday be useful). I don't have any idea what's going on here. If I were the owner, I would clear out the entire front office. Tonight.
  15. big dog
    I thought it was time for him to leave the Twins. At that point I don't think I'd have taken the over on 92 wins. I do respect how he's turned it around, at least from where he was when the White Sox traded for him.
  16. big dog
    Big Game James gave up 6 ER in 5 innings yesterday, with 9 hits, 4 walks, and 1 k. The White Sox think Don Cooper can fix anyone, which is what they said when they traded for Liriano. Latos and Shields (so far) aren't helping his rep. Speaking of Liriano (and sidetracking the thread), he's fallen off the rails a bit. If you had bet me ten years ago that he'd have 92 wins at the age of 32.5, I would have been happy to take the over. Only four years in his career so far with double-digit wins, and only two years over 12 (16 and 14). Too bad.
  17. big dog
    If I were the owner, I could imagine how tied up in knots I would be about this team (and this half-decade). I would be really worried about what I should be doing, and probably uncertain about how to do it. I would feel like I had to go to the games in order to see what I might be able to do, and I can see how that wouldn't be nearly as fun as if I were an ordinary fan with a lot less to worry about with respect to every single thing that happens at Target Field. Does anyone think Glen Taylor enjoys sitting in his suite and watching the Wolves night after night? Look at all the posters here who have said they will not go to TF until TR is fired, or whatever else they want happens. Why should any owner be laughing about how great it is to get to go to the ballgame and watch this product every night? Think how this board would light up if Pohlad had said how much he enjoyed this year's team. PS, great job by the interviewer. And it's nice of JP to sit down with him for this.
  18. big dog
    Well, I never go in to a bar expecting that someone might throw a whiskey bottle at me. That's one difference. And I like it that way.
  19. big dog
    OK, maybe it's just me, but perhaps we should quit throwing balls down the middle to Valencia and, I don't know, throw inside? Make him move a little? Just a theory.
  20. big dog
    And THAT'S a Snapper Mow 'Em Down Inning for Tyler Duffy! Anyone remember those? For a brief time, someone won a lawn mower when a Twins pitcher faced three batters in an inning and struck all three out. I remember Berenguer doing it once.
  21. big dog
    Dylan Gee doesn't look real dominating today. I wouldn't mind putting up a 12-spot or something.
  22. big dog
    Thanks, that was fun. Great editing. Your neighbor's commentary was entertaining as well. Kernels are in Beloit in 2 weeks (an hour from my home) and I'm hoping to see them.
  23. big dog
    I was listening to the Tigers radio guys on XM. When Rosario threw home early in the game, they said that was a really terrible play- absolutely no chance to get the guy, put the hitter on second when there was no reason to do that- they said that stuff like that must just drive Molitor crazy. I don't think he was sent down for taking the extra base. I do think pulling him from the game at that time was unnecessary.
  24. big dog
    This is so pathetic. No fire. No enthusiasm. Can't field. Can't hit. Just pathetic.
  25. big dog
    This is the most disappointing twins team in a long time. And that is saying something. Pitchers- make the #%z7^ hitters move their feet a little. Guys are swinging so hard they fall over, and not just Gogo. What a joke.
