    blake beat me to it, but in all seriousness, a dose of kids cold meds and an Ipad with cartoons has done that job.
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    Ipad loaded with cartoons and little dab of booze in their sippy cups

    Agreed, and always appreciate his accessibility by the fans. Always approachable and kind. Very classy guy with the fans. Even with his players association grievances, etc, he put that stuff behind him and came out to win every day. What a competitor!

    dont the announcers fall under St. Peter?
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    i think he'll retire
  6. Richie the Rally Goat

  7. Richie the Rally Goat

    Call me obtuse, but it took me awhile to figure out you were talking about Rochester, Minnesota and not the home of our beloved Red Wings Rochester, NY
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    too much 2% for Joe
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    and the surprising part is generally Gee has gone out for 2-3 innings at a time in relief. He's been great in the Andrew Miller role, not Andrew Miller great, just plain ol' great, but I'll take it.

    James Rowson and Rudy Hernandez - This team went from cellar to top 4 in runs scored, and I believe they were instrumental in getting things to click for Buxton, Polanco, and Rosario.

    Looks like our Twins took the advice of the "go nuts" side of the debate
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    in the past Homer Hankys were produced and sold by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Things aren't exactly great for the Newspaper business nowadays
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    so much for Pythag
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    rest easy my friend. according to my handy Twins schedule, start on Thursday is 11:10 AM, not 11:10 PM. You won't get any work done on Thursday afternoon instead of not getting any work done on Friday morning
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    great rebuttal. I very much appreciate a good discussion. Results are very important, so is process. I go back to not only did the team lose 103 games last year, but also the decision making is just terrible. If Molly had shown the ability to manage the bullpen effectively so as to utilize all 8 of them to keep players rested. If he had trusted the research that says bunting is bad and at the very least not put down the sac bunt signal. If his lineups made any sense at all, I could look past the 103 loss season and give him credit for 2017.

    I was someone going to rebut with the "but the GM makes that call", however there's a point that the manager must have some influence on who the GM brings up or sends down. In the Yahoo sports Jeff Passan article about Buxton, James Rowson was actively trying to keep Buxton up in the majors so he could work with him, who the FO was trying to send him to AAA "Already Minnesota had discussed sending him to Triple-A once again, hopeful something would click. Twins hitting coach James Rowson implored the Twins front office to hold off.". The idea that Molitor and Rowson might have been the two baseball operations people arguing with Levine the moderator puts a different lens on the situation. Sending Buxton to AAA doesn't seem to jive with what Levine has done so far, but does seem to jive with the previous regime, which makes the wild conjecture a little less wild.

    if "Monitor" gets credit for improving 20+ games in the loss column from 2016 to 2017, does he get the blame for 2015-2016 24 game swing? He's the same manager, making the same nonsensical decisions.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    yep and righty bat off the bench who can be passable in left field. Neither Granite nor Vargas fit that bill
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Besides winning, the most fun I've had is watch Byron Buxton blossom right in front of us. A couple great articles lately chronicling... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-byron-buxtons-glove-went-from-good-to-great/ https://sports.yahoo.com/reclamation-minnesota-twins-outfielder-byron-buxton-193405509.html So much fun watching this young man just take off!
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, especially since the righty off the bench is Adrianza, which doesn't help that much anyways
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    1 is irrelevant and I would not assume 2 or 3. From everything I've read, Joe is a fierce competitor. He may want to stay a Twin for his whole career, but if a surefire world series contender offered him a contract, he'd have to at least consider it.
