  1. "Enhanced"? Did he get a robot arm installed? If so, I want one.
  2. You're supposed to rip Mauer when he's having a bad game! Get with the program.
  3. I thought Iowa was Kum-n-Go
  4. Just like Mauer to walk there
  5. Have the Twins declared a goal other than "winning"?
  6. I'm fairly certain he waits until the bases are empty to try.
  7. If Hicks can OBP that high while bringing his slugging up a little, I'd be fine with him being #9
  8. You leave Mauer in the 3 hole because he might start heating up today. You drop him to 7 or 8 for a week...what happens if THAT'S when he starts heating up and you've now wasted a week with him buried in the bottom of the lineup? Sure, some people buy into the "you have to EARN your spot in the lineup" stuff, but given Mauer's OBP track record, he's earned a couple months of struggles near the top. And agree with gunn. You have to assume he'll start heating up. Trying to ride the hot hand in baseball is a fool's errand.
  9. Keep Pinto around, even as a backup. Between DHing once-ish a week (Morales "full time" DH, with maybe Dozier or Mauer or Hammer or Arcia getting an occasional day there) and catching 2-3 days per week, that seems sufficient for a 1st year catcher.
  10. Dozier seems to have taken a step this year. Willingham has been able to get on base well for a couple years (even last year when his BA was horrendous, his OBP was like 100 points higher). Mauer has gotten on base at high levels throughout his career, not including the past two months. Those three guys need to be near the top of the lineup. I like what someone said about Mauer then Dozier negating Dozier's speed on the bases. I, personally, would go 1. Dozier 2. Mauer 3. Willingham. If Dozier hitting so many home runs from the 1 spot is a "problem," it's a good problem to have. If we're that concerned about it, put a guy who can OBP 330-350 in the 9 spot.
  11. Needs to be more consistent. He's young, at least in terms of number of career starts, and he'll get better. But being consistently good, or at least reliable, is the goal
  12. This seems like an unfair response to a well-written and well-thought-out post.
  13. I'd definitely take a flyer on him. Give us another guy that's still a year or two from his peak (hopefully) and give us a rotation next year of Gibson, Hughes, Cahill, Meyer, ?
  14. He dove for that one, no?
  15. People turn computers off still?
  16. Glad the Twins made a comeback. Wish they hadn't grounded into a DP with the bases loaded in the 8th? 7th?
  17. This breakdown of the Twins' draft by Keith Law made me chuckle: After that, the Twins decided to just go draft an entire bullpen, taking five straight college relievers headlined by the two hardest throwers in the class, Louisville's Nick Burdi (Round 2) and San Diego State's Michael Cederoth (Round 3), both of whom can hit 100 mph.
  18. Morales has already jumped to #1 on my list of Favorite Kendryses
  19. The Twins signed a potentially good player/solid contributor and let loose a known non-good/below average contributor. What is there to complain about with respect to this move? I get there are still gaping holes and they were allowed to linger, but the Twins haven't signed a HR hitter in quite some time, let alone during the middle of the season. They have money to spend and spent it on a guy who should​ be an upgrade over the guy(s) he replaced. No downside here, IMO.
  20. What position does Muntz play?
  21. 1. Arcia 2. Arcia 3. Arcia 4. Arcia 5. Arcia 6. Arcia 7. Arcia 8. Arcia 9. Arcia?
  22. It seems as if you don't like the Twins, or their chances to win this season...
