  1. I don't usually get too worked up about the first month of the season. Some players get off to great starts, then tail off, while others start off slow and finish strong. Overall, I agree that there are a lot of positives, which I won't bother outlining again. I also agree with keeping Hicks near the bottom of the line up for now. If he's still hitting and playing with confidence later in the season, then he definitely needs to get moved to the lead off spot.
  2. Pelfrey was good until he ran out of gas. Get him out of there now!
  3. It's early in the season, I think Pelfrey is starting to get tired, missing his mark. It's probably a good idea to get him out of there sooner rather than later.
  4. Another Twins killer (Swisher) doing work.
  5. Bert and his jet stream.
  6. Bad call sending Suzuki home, I didn't like that at all.
  7. And Pinto shows Arcia how it's done!
  8. Gotta hit it over the wall if you don't want it to get caught.
  9. You're right, that's probably a more accurate description!
  10. At this rate Gardy is going to need all of his 2 year contract to get his 1,000th win.
  11. Hicks looked like a lost puppy out there..
  12. Danny Darwin... Terry Mulholland...
  13. Adam Dunn is a dirty bastage Twin killer.
  14. If.. as in if my aunt had baseballs, she'd be my uncle.
  15. And he won't shut up about it.
  16. The Twins will win some games if Colabello hits like that all season.
  17. Willingham is seeing the ball good today.
  18. That was a strike out! Pinto had it right.
  19. Lol that ball probably should have been caught. Nice hit either way.
  20. Escobar must have a baseball angel on his shoulder or something. That's definitely two strokes of luck in the same inning.
  21. I actually liked Hughes' pitch placement in the 2nd a lot better than the first.
  22. I don't like the way this one is going. Hughes has poor control and our hitters are still in spring training mode.
  23. Empty stadium in Chigago
  24. Speaking from my experience of playing SS most of my life, players who are normally accurate, but throw wild under pressure situations, are showing signs of mental weakness, not physical. Plouffe needs to just relax, breathe, and not panic. It's a mental thing that can be fixed to some degree. Perhaps not fixed completely, but at least limited or reduced. He needs to to be consciously aware of what's going on in his mind in these situations. He needs to be mentally prepared for these situations every pitch the same way he has to know in his mind what he's going to do with the ball each play if it's hit to him. It's difficult to explain, but it's almost like your fight or flight response kicks in (spiked heart rate) and your body just doesn't respond the way it normally does. It's a result of being human.
