    oh, and-- Boyer! Boyer! Boyer! Boyer! At least he's not showing fear.

    I saw that one- I thought it was just a curve ball that got away. Agreed, Cola looked like he thought he was low-bridged. Should have gone inside again, on purpose. I lived near Oakland when McGwire was a rookie. For years, he'd look at a high inside curve ball and duck his head over the plate and get hit when it dropped. Then he'd get hacked off, like someone was trying to headhunt with a pitch that was a borderline strike. What a doofus.

    The only ball that came inside that I saw tonight was Ball 4 to Tulo in the first inning. Which obviously had no effect on the at-bat. Otherwise it's been away, away, down the middle. Very frustrating.

    Would someone please move Donaldson off the plate? That's just freaking ridiculous. Come inside on him and he falls apart. You don't have to hit him, but holy crap- for years, we've just let people stand there and swing from the heels, pitch after pitch. Make them a little less comfortable.

    Let's go, Tyler! Let it fly.

    I hope Duffey has a great game, and enjoys himself. Let's Go Twins!

    Last 5 games: 155 at-bats, 16 hits, for a .103 BA 12 walks, 167 plate appearances, for a .168 OBP To support Dave's point, of those 7 runs - two scored on WP - three scored on solo HR (Sano, Dozier, Hunter) - one scored on a single - one scored on a sac fly

    That said, replacing one of them with Arcia doesn't exactly help that problem. There are some serious holes here, and having everyone slumping at once is a hard problem to solve with one roster move.

    I want May to start as soon as possible, but it's also time to see what Duffey can bring to the team this year and hopefully in the future. Good luck to Mr. Duffey- welcome to The Show.

    Nice inning for New Guy. Can he hit?
  11. big dog
    I was trying for plaintive despondency, but I can see how you got sarcasm out of that.

    Twins are hitting against Cy Young, just like most nights lately. I just want to feel like they have a chance to win, most nights, but that feeling is sliding away from me.

    Is that like giving a manager a show of support before firing him? I suppose you could blame Dombrowski for the Tigers getting old, but they were always going for it and thought they could get over the hump. Maybe he figured a big rebuild is coming and someone else should start it, if he wasn't returning. Or maybe he didn't want to dump all the players that he was being told to dump. Who knows? Fun to speculate, though.

    and the Jays are 0-4. I like their chances of turning it around better than ours, unfortunately.
  15. big dog
    During spring training there were quite a few posts wishing that the Twins were as aggressive as the Padres, who were making all those huge deals for established players. The Padres might want to hire TR now as they consider a complete teardown and rebuild, 4 months later.

    Papelbon traded from Phillies to Nationals Clippard traded from A's to Mets Hawkins traded from Rockies to Mets as part of Tulo deal Finnegan traded from Royals as part of Cueto deal Cishek traded from Marlins to Cardinals along with a bunch of mid- to high-level minor league relievers included in various deals How much longer should we wait?
  17. big dog
    What do you mean?
  18. big dog
    I'm liking the new version of Aaron Hicks!
  19. big dog
    I've really had enough of Pelfrey. Seriously. Let's package him with Duensing and get a beer vendor.
  20. big dog
    Wow, that's close. - he looks out on the other replay, doesn't he
  21. big dog
    Tough play there. Mauer would catch that ball flat-footed, but Dozier was covering.
  22. big dog
    Pelf is setting up the triple play.
  23. big dog
    Skeeter Barnes. My grad school roommate read about a trade for him, and said about the other guy: "You know your career isn't going too well when you are traded straight up for a guy named Skeeter."
  24. big dog
    They need Bret Favre! Boom! /John Madden
  25. big dog
    True, but he did have some success, and he's not quite 25. I am surprised to hear him described as a likely washout so soon.
