    Can Escobar and Mauer switch places in the lineup?
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    Watching too much World Cup?
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think you missed the joke
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great stuff
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    In general RB, you make laugh too, but this one isn't funny in the least.

    I think The a White Sox are on the right track. Cubs? Not so sure, I know there's a lot of respect for Theo Epstein out there, but that team has been mismanaged for 80 years. Hardy was absolutely a blunder from the get go. There was a lot of disbelief around here with phrases like "you want to get rid of the best SS this team has had in years to take a flyer on a Japanese player?" I was optimistic at the time, but history proved it's point. Hind site on Capps is dicey, this team needed a good closer and made a trade from a position of strength to a position of need, I can't fault that. The resigning I struggle with. Regarding the Santana trade, I'm sure they took the best offer available. Turns out it was a good trade, the Twins just weren't patient enough to see the payoff.

    I guess if I were Vance Worley, I'd be surprised too. He was a fine pitcher for Philadelphia, but in no way was he ace material. It's funny how when the Vanimal was here, I don't recall him saying much about Philadelphia. Now that he's in Pittsburgh, he's been somewhat vocal about his dislike of MN. Maybe he missed the Pennsylvania Dutch. Would it have helped his career with the Twins to spend more time with Bert Blyleven? Or is just Dutch not close enough to Pennsylvania Dutch? Maybe he couldn't handle the microscopic nit picking pressure? If only he could have stuck around long enough to get more pointers on coping mechanisms from Phil Hughes. Or maybe Pittsburgh has been lucky enough (or observant enough) to take advantage of the Dead Cat Bounce of a couple of former Twins.

    4 if you count Nunez. If you count Dozier at SS, then you count Plouffe as well, 5. Sadly, it's not the GM making this call is it? or is it 3 left?

    If they're serious about the "why not us, why not now" mentality, they aren't good enough to have days like today. It's been almost every 4th and 5th rotation spot this season when they have to dig a little deeper in the BP. TR and RA have to make moves, you can't make a push with a guaranteed loss on 2/5 of your games.

    2 I'm a doubter, he just cant throw strikes. He was one of the better rotation members last year. Says more about how bad it was for the rotation. 4 I'm a believer he might not be Jeter, but he's good and he's young enough to be a part of the future. Santana has more upside, but maybe CF is a good fit, maybe utility guy. I think there's plenty of room for both.

    And yet we never see "progressing to the mean" as in "it appears that Joe Mauer has figured it out, with 5 games in a row going 3-4 he has begun progressing to the mean"
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Per Mn Twins site, Hicks to the 15 day DL due to shoulder injury. Fuld and Fryer are up
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    According to Twins official: Hicks to 15 day dl with shoulder injury. Replaced by Fuld on the active roster
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Career is fine when discussing Morales' potential, with no background and too small of sample size, Mauer's season is plenty large enough of a sample size to see the trend. down move him back in the order to 7 or so, there's no rule that you can't bump him back to 2 or 3 when he gets his ailment straight.
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Better than expected, but I disagree with the previous depiction of the Pinto situation. In a chicken/egg situation, did Gardy pull Pinto at the right time? Or did pulling Pinto cause the slump. My argument would be, hitters suck more in spring training than the regular season and mostly progress with playing time. Pinto had a stretch of two weeks where he played once, and a month where he played like 5 times. Then suddenly he's gotten some more playing time and sucked, and Gardy has become the savior from Pinto's ineptitude? I think he's the cause in this case. He's stuck with Guerrier and Burton far too long. on the other hand, he's stuck by Plouffe, Santana, and Willingham who have paid big dividends. Willingham was stone cold in his rehab assignment, was immediately inserted into the big league lineup and has since been very very good. overall mixed results, but much better than I anticipated.

    Sad, but truthful
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    What is " a piñata" Alex?
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    I can't "like" this but agree, sadly... Where is Brock with the button?
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Circle me Bert, I'm second knuckle deep in my right nostril
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Following the Demographic here on TD game thread, your estimate would be correct.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    I just saw a double
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Nice! Throw it into the camera well!
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    25 years ago, I spent a ton of time with this game on my Sega Genisis in my parents basement
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    Good question, but it was pretty apparent they were teasing each other
